Horn mod Mk2 now complete - at last!

After a year of thinking about it, it's now done. Lots of suggestions of decent horns here, but I went the simplest route possible. My lowly LX had a single trumpet horn fitted, and sounded like a child's toy car! I went for the one fitted to an ST225, a very loud twin trumpet. Added advantage was the simplicity of fitting, took me about 10 minutes Electrical adapter is exactly the same, and as a bonus, the seller told me that my car would go faster now with it fitted as it was from an ST!

Massive advantage with the Mk2 is the ease of accessibility, you just remove the top plastic slam panel and have full access to the horn.

Have also uploaded a short sound burst of old, and new for your delectation! They'll not be laughing at me now when I sound my horn, though they will be confused as they look round for something 'proper' on the road making that noise LOL

Old horn sound...

New horn sound...

    Is that definitely a spec difference or a pre & post facelift difference?  I can't believe they'd only fit a twin horn to ST's?  :laugh: 

    No idea what was on my facelift Titanium, never took any notice!

    Trust me Tom, if you had a single trumpet fitted, you would have noticed LOL (no idea if it's a 'spec' or 'model' difference)

    Only the low spec versions of the Focus MK2/MK2.5 did have the single horn. All higher spec version did have the dual horn as standard. 

    I used to have a Focus MK2 First Edition Years ago which was basically the European equivalent of the UK Zetec trim level. The First Edition trim level (and any trim level above) did have a dual horn as standard.

    It needs 2 so you can hear it over the exhaust 😂😂. Although I think mine needs about 6 to drown out my exhaust now lol.
