Horny Replacement

[kjen]

Hi All,

Would like to check with those guys out there that have had the pathetic OEM horn on the new V replaced. I have a set of Mitsuba Electric Horn which i wanted to fix onto my V, however am unable to locate the existing horn, pressing the horn, it seems to be located inside the bumber, true?? How do u guys fix yours?? Just cut and bypass or take out the bumper?

Also, for those that have replaced it, do u guys fix a relay for it? or just do a direct connection replacing the original horns.

Thanks for the help.

hi,

Need to remove the bumper to locate the horn. Also is best to unplug the current hone and place a relay with fuse as the new horn need higher current.
