Default A horn quickie

Does anyone know if you can use either of the horns off the donor. I gather one is the normal one and one for the alarm.

Cheers


Pete

Depending on the spec and year you could have 3.

Use either of the two behind the front bumper. Both if you want a dual tone.

Darn, there was me thinking that this thread was going to be a bit saucy

Seriously though as Rob said, either of the one fitted behind the bumper will do, failing that any old second hand horn from the breakers should do the trick

I got one of these BadBoy airhorns for my Honda Civic. Got tired of having a wimpy horn. Now people are startled when I blow it. One piece horn and compressor. Easy to mount, I will get another for my roadster when the time comes.

Now that is what I would call a " Get out of my way " Horn

I can well imagine how high the IVA tester would jump when he tries the horn

just plug it in to your battery see if it works you need a positive feed and an earth for the horn to work and obviously the switch when fully wired
