This seems to be the popular link for a DIY Horn. Hopefully that will help out. I'm thinking of replacing mine too. Let us know how that one sounds.

O yea, I forgot. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-frown.gif[/IMG]
Grey: I'm thinking it might be the same from the looks of the picture, can't remember.. There's no way I can do all that, looks [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/IMG] , plus I don't have jack-stands.
If someone where to help me with the install, that would be greatly appreciated.. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/IMG]
Hum... Would you like to do a side by side installation? We could meet up one of these days, get all of the materials together, and just work on this side by side. BTW, I don't think we need jack stands. I have them in case we do though.
Grey: thats perfect for me, wwe'll have to hook up some Saturday (when you're not busy) and do it up.
I'm glad you are a Super Mod!![IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/IMG]
Do you want to maybe try this next Saturday? First off, it has to be a nice day. I don't have a garage big enough for two cars to work on at the same time and be comfortable. Well, maybe I do, but my sister has to park somewhere and so does my father. What about you? Do you have a big garage? Then again, even if it were a bad day and we had a big enough garage I don't think I'de want to work when it's raining or cold. So, first off... It has to be nice out.
Then tools, do you have a ton of tools? We shouldn't need much more than a phillips head screwdriver, but you never know. We might need to fabricate some brackets for you. I have a ton of tools available to me, so maybe doing this at my house would be better? Then there's the stuff we need for completion of the installation. The raw materials and what not. If we need to make brackets then we'll need to go to Home Depot. Do you have one close to your house?
Now what about the kit you have? Is it the Hella one? Did it come with wire? Probably not, right? We'll need to go to Home Depot to get that kind of stuff first.
I'm gonna say your house would be better cuz I have no garage... I do have tools though, enough for a CAI install so I assume they're enuf for a horn intall.. I also have electrical connectors, and such... So we should be set there.
Ooh, you have electrical connectors? What kind? Definately bring those. We'll need to buy some wire from Home Depot. I already bought some yellow 12 guage wire with multiple strands, but I think I'm going to go with a 10 guage red wire with multiple strands instead. In my kit it says to use either 12 or 10 guage, but I think 10 guage is safer.
I have this aluminum bar that I made my brackets out of. Although when I made them I used a regular drill to drill the holes out and I don't think I did the best job in the world. Now I have a drill press, so we can drill straight perpendicular holes. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG] I also have an anvil/vise that we can use to bend the aluminum bar. That and a propane torch to soften it up. That's what I did, but maybe I went overboard.
Taking off the bumper is super easy though. You cleared the headlights yourself right? That shouldn't be a problem.
Yeah I have connectors, actually they're terminals (now that I think about it). So this Saturday (May 4th) would be cool.. Hopefully nothing comes up during the week and the weather holds up...
You'll be the 1st to see my new wheels!!! Unless I pick up my Digi Cam Friday..
Ooh! Those look very nice. I have to see them in person. That black opal color is cool too, I have to see that as well. That's the color I want, but all of the online pics of that color difer from each other.
