Horn Replacement

I thought I would do another thread on horn replacement rather than add to some other threads that got worn out. I started searching other threads and got a lot of useful in formation. Such as what horns people where buying and how to install them. The one thing i found out is that for my car it was very easy and I did not have to remove as many fasteners as posted in previous threads . Maybe it was because my car had the Aero kit. For me no need to remove the inner fender fastners...only needed to remove 8 fastners and the front fascia came off. A10 minute job.

Those are Great horns.
We install the Hella horns all the time as replacements since they are more cost effective and love that they are louder. It actually makes people move when you do honk at them.

If someone doesn't want them louder or want to cut wires we have the direct replacement version.

I just cut off the MINI connectors, then butt spliced marine spade connectors and heat shrink...Easy and clean.
