Hi guys !!- finally fitted my PiAA sports Horns 400 and 500hz - very loud !!! (115db) - ive shown below a few shots of how i fitted the new ones ( i know Ed is particulary interested !!!) aswell as how i had to remove the Grille.


The grille had to be taken out to alllow easier access to the horns - this was done using an offset screwdriver and turning the 5 "spring clips".

The rain /splash guards had to be removed to allow the grille to fit back on later
... also the horns are slightly louder with out the guards lol !!! :)

The fixing plate needs to be bent back slightly with a fiel - to allow for clearance when the grille is put back on !!

2 holes had to be drilled for the earth leads - as shwon in this picture

Now the connectors ( these are the exisiting connections -made wiring dead easy !!!) can be plugged into the horns as shown

Hope this is useful for anyone who considers changing their stock horns for some very loud great sounding horns in the future !!!! -
 
you dont need to remove the clips to remove the grille, you can literally just pull the grille off.
 
'how to' *ahem*.

Throw up a vid would like to know how they sound :) My standard one is pathetic.
 
Excellent guide Hammer, thanks :D

I think it's time to replace the comedy horns that my SRi came with, I mean why bother with twin horns if they make you sound sound like a clown car lol

Why i made the video - becasue members asked what it sounded like .. :D

Why i changed the horns - ...- got them for christmas !!! :D looked at them before thought hmm good idea !!!

Much better than the standard horn ! :D
 
Have to agree with you there like lol, the standard horn noise is really bad....then again i never use my horn lol.
 
my horns sound so gay, i was actually thinking of changing mine too, any particular horn to go for? obviously ones that goes beep, but a manly beep, not the pathetic excuse for a horn that i currently have
