Re: How to improve my Horn !
They look ok, and should be an easy fit, but they're not 'Air Horns'. definitely electric.

Yep just electric but they sound like air horns.Bob wrote:They look ok, and should be an easy fit, but they're not 'Air Horns'. definitely electric.
Both Miss Fixit and I have fitted them and we both enjoy a most satisfying honk when the opportunity presents itself.

I got some similar last year, easy fit, had to take out the drivers side headlight to get to the old one, mounted in the same place on the existing wiring, much better sound.
You can't polish a turd - but you can roll it in glitter.

I've got them fitted....lovely noise.
Re: How to improve my Horn !
Well,
you need at least three air horns. The more and the larger the better.

We had the Dukes ones on our blue bongo and we are going to fit air horns to the works bongo.
Strictly for off road use and with a seperate switch, so the MOT tester is happy. Will prob fit a loud horn instead of the standard one also. There're a lot of nutty drivers around at the moment, jumping amber lights and drifting across lanes without warning, they need a good blast to wake them up.

Did you just wire up, or use the relay and a new supply form the battery?
Re: How to improve my Horn !
The system appears to already have a relay in it somewhere - at least mine does.Bob wrote:missfixit70 wrote:I got some similar last year, easy fit, had to take out the drivers side headlight to get to the old one, mounted in the same place on the existing wiring, much better sound.

So all I did was add a "piggy back" positive wire for the second unit and earth both units.

Re: How to improve my Horn !
Must fit these to mine. Are they behaving OK in terms of reliability Kirsty and Scanner (the horns I mean!). I only ask as we've all experienced the 'rusting spotlights from ebay' phenomenon and I'd prefer no more repeats (although I've now taken to smearing vaseline on my spotlights chromework and it seems to be doing the trick, more or less).
