I've stocked up on a few sets guaranteed to work. Let me know if you want to save yourself the trouble. The four-tone horns can be hard to come by, and even harder to find working.

Not sure what price you paid at the JY for them, but I'd venture to say that perhaps it should be "good luck finding them in the JY/for a decent price..." 'cause I have found them aplenty on the bay.... observe:

Those aren't the good ones either. Those are the ones with the power tab where the mount acts as the ground, and the C & D notes are very susceptible to over-tightening and poor ground connections, so they'll never sound right on a vehicle that they're not made for.

I have two sets of the style with the plug that accept both the power and ground in one plug and I will sell for less than that Ebay listing shipped to your door.

No worries, I will typically always have at least one set in stock. I only have 1 left now, but I will get more.

After this happened to my front leaf spring bushing on my Jeep:



Rough Country was kind enough to warranty out the springs and send me two new packs:



I'm still disappointed that Rough Country hasn't made use of these yet:

Take 'em apart and get some liners. Work better than the pads anyway.

I don't want to put the money into it. I'm going BDS in the future and when it comes time to sell these, people are gonna nickel and dime me for them, so why put the money into them? :P

New packs are in as of today:



I also removed the shackle relocation kit. It was adding more lift than I wanted, causing vibes. And in all honesty, there is very little, if any, ride quality difference after removing it. So back to 90º shackles for now.
