Since my car is at least 12 years old, something electrical was bound to fail. Sure enough, my horns died a couple months ago, and I was dreading not having that fallback.. After reading a bunch of threads, I settled on the , both 72112 and 72102 (High and Low Tone). They look identical to the MINI horns, except that they're made in the USA.

Here's the package. It's identical to the factory. The connector on the left is from the dead horn that I pried off.


Here's another closer picture.


Using a dremel, I cut off the surrounds.


A lot of people end up soldering or flattening this bit to fit to the horns.. However, they are a snug/press fit! No need to splice anything with the horn layout. Here's the completed horn. All that's left is to reconnect it to the stock wiring harness and off you go!

 

I just spin off the connector and expose the two wires (a hot and a ground), crimp on simple connectors and plug the wires to the horns. Easy! A little heat shrink or paint on insulation helps keep everything water tight.

Now if you want some serious horns, this is what I put in my 79

 

Nice write up. I replaced mine with Hella supertones sharp tones.

 

Yep some go sharp tones or Accessory Horn Kit

Or all the way , "get out of my way " air horns.

 

Would love to see a video of you honking the horn(s) in your Mini with those bad boys.
