Ne1 in S. CA installed an aftermarket horn

[Da Hapa]

I just bought the Hella horns from Griots and while they appear to be great, the instructions are terrible. Before I start ripping into my car, I wanted to touch base with someone that's done this before.

Can anyone help?

I have installed after market horns in other cars, what do you have questions about. Location, wiring connections, wire routing, where to get power ...?

Hey Brian-

Seems kind of stupid but how and where do I put the horns. They came with wiring schematics so I hope I can figure that out but I'm perplexed as to how/where to mount.

I haven't done the install before but it shouldn't be too tricky. The horns should go where the OEM horns are. You have 3 that I know of. The left, the right, and the security horn. You want to replace the left and right horn, not the security. They are visible from front underneath the bumper. You'll see these round horns that look kind of like the horns you got.

See this link for the horn diagram.

The tricky part will probably be mounting the horn and connecting the wires as you will have to cut off the OEM harness. Not really that hard to cut the wires but mounting the horns could pose a challenge. PM me if you want to work on it on a weekend, I'm in OC on weekends.
