This is a classic symptom of a bad ground, so that is where I would start.
The original ground was a bullet connector shoved into a metal clip, screwed
to the body behind the horn on each side.
If checking the ground (including between the clip and the body) doesn't
solve the problem, then I would definitely check voltages as the next step.
You know some current is making it to the bulb, so it's important to check
with the bulb still connected. Right there at the connectors behind the
horn is where I would start ...
