The quickest fix is to do what Colorado Greg suggests and adjust the 3rd brush as needed. Crank it up for night time driving and you should be okay. Just remember to turn it down even more to 2-3A with the lights off to compensate during daytime driving.

I use a generator with Tom Wessenberg’s cutout and the only time I have trouble with the horn is when my hi beams and wiper are on at the same time, or at idle with the lights on. The regulator helps a lot but won’t increase the maximum output of the generator.
