Default Airhorn Installation

Argh! I had the drive home from hell this evening, my car has apparently become invisible - neat trick with the HIDs don't you think!

Anyhow, following the decision of a young lady to drive out in front of me as I (clearly indicating my intentions) drove around a roundabout I have succumbed to the air-horn temptation. I am normally loath to use the horn of any car but jammed on it tonight in sheer amazed disbelief - WTF is that POS noise about???? Is it the most useless, worthless embarasment or what???!!!

TCALSS I went directly to Halfords,

I agree the horn would be more at home on a noddy car.

I would also be interested on how to change it.

Sorry I can't be of help though.

Follow this thread. You'll find full install instructions with pics. Note that I fitted dual electrics to start with, and then did what I should have done in the first place and fitted triple air horns. They're pretty smokey!

LOL.. Me? Mr. Fix it.... No!! I couldn't tackle some of these hi-fi installations you guys are on about.

I'm really wary of car electrics at the best of times, but anyone who's done it, will tell you I think, that's it's one of the easier car electric jobs you can do.

Make sure you've got proper insulated connectors (Halfords) and proper crimping pliers to fit the connectors (B&Q). Get red wire for the live feed and black or green for the earth wire (Halfords) so the job looks professional and you don't get Honda mechanics taking the pi$$ when you take it for service!

If you start twisting bits of wire together and using insulating tape (We've all done it ) you'll get bad earths and loads of trouble.

Get 'em fittted... they sound great!

Bought my horns in Halfords, took them up to my Honda dealer and got them to fit them. I think the labour cost was

Pete now that sounds more like it.

I will have a look this weekend but at least I know if all else fails I can probably get Honda to do it.
