Replacing 10A horns with 30A air trumpets

Replacing 10A horns with 30A air trumpets
I know, this is probably a horrible idea but nonetheless...
My stock horns are dead and I bought an air trumpet set for 18$. The stock Jag relay handles 40A so it is ok, however the stock Jag fuse is a 10 amp.
Am I going to melt my wiring harness if I just replace the 10Amp fuse with a 30?

I may have found an answer to my own question... on the wires above it has metric gauge 4mm^2 which translates to almost 10 gauge wire. That's really thick wire.
Since I have two Jag horns maybe I should try running the power from each lead, (fuse 11 & 13) with 15amp fuses in each. In theory halving the current that the wiring harness carries per wire.
