Default (SOLVED) Horn Replacement 1996 Z255

Does anybody know were i can find some replacement horns that will fit my 1996 Z255? I wasnt able to find any online. It doesn't have to be the same brand, it just has to fit. I'll even take used horns, as long as they fit and perform.
[UPDATE] THE LINK FOR THE HORNS HAS BEEN FOUND

    Not sure how handy you are but you can disassemble your present horn and clean the contacts with some sand paper. That is generally all that is usually wrong. Worth a shot?

    I took both the covers off of them before and they were filled with water and all rusty and corroded

    In that case you could try replacing it with the following AFI Hidden Horn | Bass Pro Shops

    Thanks! Do you know will it fit the rubber lip like in one of the pictures? And does it have a horn that goes with it?
    (Like for example, horn 1 makes a deep sound and horn 2 makes a higher-pitched sound. Together they make a perfect harmony.)

    I assume it will fit since it is the same part number as shown in your picture but I do not know for sure. Nothing a little duct tape can't fix if it doesn't fit exactly. For audio specs you can look it up on the Marinco/AFI website.

    I dunno..... I went and replaced the stock horn with a "Ferrari Air Horn"..... Mariah kept marketing their Boats as the Ferraris of the water so I thought that it was appropriate....
