Step 1:

Open Hood

Step 2:

Remove 7 phillips head screws (you will have to loosen them almost all the way out, and then pull them to remove the bottom portion of the fastener) and 2 - 10mm bolts from the top of the bumper (all screws and bolts are located with red arrows in the picture)

Step 3:

Remove the stock horn by pulling the top of the bumper out gently (and not too far) and locating the 10mm bolt that holds the stock bracket to the chassis.

Step 4:

Disconnect the power to the horn by pushing in the button, and pulling the plug out of the horn.

Step 5:

Remove the bracket off the stock horn by removing the 10mm nut that holds the bracket on.

Step 6:

Once you have removed the bracket from the stock horn, you will notice that there are actually 3 brackets put together to make one. You are going to make a "V" shape out of the pieces of metal. You will have one strip on one side of the "V" and 2 strips on the other.

Step 7:

Remove the new horns (2) from their package. I didn't take a picture of it, but you will have a ground wire included with the horns. You need to attach it to one terminal on each horn (doesn't matter which one) and attach the loop connector on the other end of the wire to the mounting bolt. Then attach the horns to each end of the "V" and tighten down with the included 10mm nut. They should be facing the same as the picture below.

Step 8:

Now, you need to connect the other empty terminals in a parallel connection. The pictures should be self explanatory. The grey wire on the female connector that was plugged into the stock horn is the POSITIVE lead and the black wire is the negative. I took a flat connector (one half of the disconnect and modified it to plug into the stock connector until I can find a Molex end to crimp on that fits the factory plug. You
could cut off the stock connector and wire directly, I just chose not to on my car. Also, you will need a wire for the negative side of the plug that will be connected to the mounting bolt of one horn. The horn bracket is not grounded through the mounting bolt to the chassis since it is plastic. If you do not run a ground to at least one horn, they will not work. This was the purpose of connecting the ground wires that come with the horns. Once a ground wire is connected to one horn, the other horn will pick up the ground through the bracket itself.

This is the connectors you will use. The one on the right is the one I modified to plug into the factory plug

This is the connector that you will use to connect the ground wire to the horn. Stick it between the horn body and the mounting bracket before you tighten them down.

Step 9:

Before you go any further, you should honk the horn to make sure that it is operational before you waste your time mounting it, only to find out that you did something wrong.

Step 10: Gently lower the horn assembly into the mounting location, and secure it using the 10mm bolt that you removed to remove the stock horn. After mounting, I bent the bracket back towards the radiator to make sure the front bumper didn't rub it.

Step 11:

Replace all screws and bolts in the top of the bumper and close the hood.

Step 12:

Go get your self esteem back by honking at someone with confidence. Enjoy.


Here is what the final product will sound like.
