Do I really need a relay for a after market horn and horn button?
Or can I just slice a fuse into the positive wire going to the battery to the horn button?

I got the horn connected with no fuse or relay
Can I just leave it like that or will it catch something on fire lol

-_- The factory horn was ran through a relay for a reason. Aftermarket one's should be no different.

There is already a relay, it should be next to the fuse box. What was wrong with your current horn?

I broke the clip inside the steering wheel where the horn button pin twist
When I change my steering wheel .
So I was thinking about using this method

You could just wire a fuse inline from the battery to the horn if you haven't.
