trikidy Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 Hello! Looking at this listing on eBay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/180685397925?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649 Seems to be road legal and claims to be easy to install. Has anyone fitted anything like this and if so what do you have to do?

E5GDM Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 I fitted some, when I was going through my boy racer stage. It' was easy enough when I was 17, & involved a relay & a few lengths of wire & connectors. The only issue may be finding the room to fit them.

trikidy Posted June 27, 2013 Author Share Posted June 27, 2013 Done it now, not an easy job! Had to remove the front left headlight, remove the old one and crimp the power wire to the other one.... Anyway finished now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ_sXe Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 Done it now, not an easy job! Had to remove the front left headlight, remove the old one and crimp the power wire to the other one.... Anyway finished now! I bought one also, is it as easy as swapping the cables over? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trikidy Posted June 27, 2013 Author Share Posted June 27, 2013 Once you gain access to it, simply take the live wire and plug it into the new horn. The new horns need a neg from the other outlet, which you can just wrap around the bolt when you tighten. Then crimp the power so it leads to the other, do the same with the neg. Must say not as loud as I was expecting! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ_sXe Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 Louder than the old one?Can you video/record it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trikidy Posted June 27, 2013 Author Share Posted June 27, 2013 Sounds more like a MEEP, higher pitched than a low BEEP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hubby1959 Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 I fitted a pair of horns to mine as one of the OEM horns had stopped working and the other sounded so effeminate no-one took any notice, They're so easy to do, just a piece of wire with a spade connector on one end and a ring connector on the other, put the spade on the negative terminal and the ring to earth, (Usually the mounting bolt for the horn), then use the positive feed from the old horn on the positive side and fasten to the original horn bracket and your done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimbo20fiesta Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 I have to say those eBay dual horns do NOT look like air horns to me despite the wording? - They look like conventional electric snail horns. Air horns that I used to fit in my younger days had a separate air pump - like this: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/12V-RED-TWIN-2-TONE-AIR-HORNS-KIT-FOR-CAR-BOAT-VAN-TRUCK-LOUD-HORN-TRUMPET-SET-/350801848895?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item51ad6b6a3f Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
