Jamesc Hypersonic March 2, 2015 Share March 2, 2015 Can just DIY. Unscrew the existing horn and screw in the new horn. Then connect the cable to the new horn. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lowrider 2nd Gear March 2, 2015 Share March 2, 2015 Can just DIY. Unscrew the existing horn and screw in the new horn. Then connect the cable to the new horn. This method is alright if you are replacing old horn with the same exact one, but if you are replacing it with aftermarket ones which usually bigger and more powerful, it's good to install the additional relay too (should come with aftermarket horns) coz your stock horn relay cannot handle bigger current. I did DIY mine. I don't know how much shops charge you but normally they won't install the additional relay, if you didn't request it... 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nojoke123 1st Gear March 3, 2015 Author Share March 3, 2015 Do I need to disconnect the car battery first before changing ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpha78 6th Gear March 3, 2015 Share March 3, 2015 Do I need to disconnect the car battery first before changing ? No need to disconnect the battery. If your car horn max at 11A, while your horn fuse is at 10A, you can just swop out the fuse for 15A one. I did that for my Stebel Magnum horns, been using them for the past 6 years without problem. If you are worried the wires may burn, then you can get the workshop to install the relay. The last time I saw at Autobacs they charged around $20 for the installation, not sure whether it includes the relay. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
