Fit44 Clutched May 22, 2012 Share May 22, 2012 (edited) yeah .... never underestimate the POWER of twin-horn. In my mum's Swift, I horn horn horn until pekcek cos even scooter cannot hear me. After changed to Stebel Magnum II, I still remember vividly - BMW 5 series cutting into my lane, gave a good press and that bugger quickly swerved back !! So the safety aspect of having LOUD and AUDIBLE horns cannot be emphasized more..... dun take for granted bro! those big truck or lorry still cannot hear your horn! Just the other day, a big truck or lorry reversed into my car at traffic light juntion! I hold on to my Stebel Magnum II horn for dear life but the lorry driver still keep reversing into my car behind! until I have to engage reverse gear to avoid the crash!

Neutralsg 5th Gear May 22, 2012 Share May 22, 2012 (edited) Horns which are sufficiently audible for another driver to take notice is very important. My horn used to *whisper* until I changed to a stebel. This change significantly paid off last week when a tipper lorry almost drove into my side if not for the loud audible horn which saw the driver swerved back to his lane. I must have been in his blind spot since he was probably looking at the rear mirror except his surrounding. Therefore, I wouldn't quibble over such important equipment of a vehicle. Have a nice day and drive safe folks! Edited May 22, 2012 by Neutralsg Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fcw75 Hypersonic May 22, 2012 Share May 22, 2012 I just changed horn bro! still $35! everywhere same price! they can't overcharged you! So still $35 at Autotrend? You changed there I presumed? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fcw75 Hypersonic May 22, 2012 Share May 22, 2012 (edited) this is the horn... Yes, this is the only snail horns Autotrend have. You can buy Hella(if u prefer) from outside and ask them to install too, should be $10. The only issue I find with this Stebel horns is they are too thick. Hella ones are slimmer. If there's a space constraint, then got problem. Edited May 22, 2012 by Fcw75 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fcw75 Hypersonic May 22, 2012 Share May 22, 2012 Yes I'm sure.. it's in the engine bay fuse box.. not cabin fuse box. Maybe Singaporeans just kiasu la, prefer 1 more relay since it's supplied. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Count-Bracula Twincharged May 22, 2012 Share May 22, 2012 Yes, Autotrend in Toa Payoh is one of the more reputable shops. Can't go wrong with them. But they can get v crowded on Sat. Best is go on weekdays or v early on Sat. Another place to consider is Compass Auto at Upper Thomson Road. I haven't been there for long long time. But they had been pretty good when i used to patronise them in the past. Hopefully they are still keeping with their standards. $35 is cheap la.... if the horns work perfectly, it can last as long as your car. Mine already lasting 5 years. One of the things is to avoid those petrol station car wash. They like to spray into front bumper directly. Your horns are fixed there and it will kaput due to the stupid water. Thanks for the info, Mr Donut. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostrider8 Clutched May 22, 2012 Share May 22, 2012 I just installed the horn at Autotrend this morning. Still $35. Need to remove the front bumper to install the horns for my car. Installed with relay and fuse. This is the horn from Autotrend. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beehive3783 Turbocharged May 22, 2012 Share May 22, 2012 Maybe Singaporeans just kiasu la, prefer 1 more relay since it's supplied. Hmm.. I would think that old cars or some selective car models do not have built in horn relays, which explains why Stebel includes a relay for its horns.

Nzy Twincharged May 23, 2012 Share May 23, 2012 Maybe Singaporeans just kiasu la, prefer 1 more relay since it's supplied. I guess it doesn't hurt to install that relay since it comes with the horn. Cuz not all cars stock horn have relay. Unless you want to go and confirm whether yours have relay or not first before installing if not just install lo.

Kungfu Clutched April 19, 2014 Share April 19, 2014 (edited) hi all, driving a toyota wish 2010. notice a pair of disc horns just behind the grille. It should be using stock Denso disc horns. My question is if it is a pair, it gotta come with relay already. Since this way, can I just simply change to a pair of Hella Disc horn. I meant Plug and Play style. Remove the old pair, change a new pair..... Can advice me at [email protected] Edited April 19, 2014 by Kungfu ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
