New twin disc horns installed

[LateOutDrsMn]

Couple weeks ago, in the middle of a freezing rain storm, I got pushed off the road by a tractor trailer. I was lucky there was plenty of shoulder and then an up coming exit ramp for me to make my get away. He obviously couldn't/didn't see me. Maybe because of the storm. maybe because my factory headlights are very fogged over. Maybe he was distracted by something else. I wasn't in the cab, so I don't know. I've ordered some new headlight housings, and will be installing them as soon as I get them. I will also be adding some true fog lights to the car to ensure I'm seen in foul weather, especially with all the fog we have been getting here in Central Texas (hill country). That should take care of the visuals. But I was laying on my horn, and he clearly couldn't hear me either. So I went looking to upgrade it too. I've installed the mini air horns on a few of my past vehicles, and was considering it, but I came across a set of twin horns that were supposed to be much louder than stock and looked to be "plug and play". So I ordered them.

This is the set. No real instructions, but there was a small catalog with a sort of wiring layout to give you an idea of how its meant to be installed. The twin horns. A relay wiring harness. And some zip ties.

Here is the patient, and a pic of where the factory horns sits, behind the little grill.

Here we have a side by side size comparison of the factory horn vs one of.the new horns.

Its much easier to.install with headlights removed.

Nice upgrade on the horns.
I also ordered new headlight housings as mine were foggy, but I sent mine back. The aftermarket ones that I bought had a horrible non existent light pattern and visibility was worse than my foggy ones even after trying the adjusting mechanism. I ended up using a headlight restore kit to clear up my original ones and they look like new again and the light pattern is perfect.

I bought the aftermarket headlights three months ago. Have not installed them yet because of the weather, can't return them either. When I put them in I will report back with pics. etc... Great job on the horn install.
