My Fiamm El Grande install
Just completed my Fiamm install. Wow, maybe because I'm used to the "meep meep" these are loud and well worth the $20 + change cost from Amazon.
Chose these over others because it is my understanding they draw less than 10 amps, so while there is a relay included, the less wiring, splicing, cutting, T-tapping I'm involved with the better. So I opted out of the relay. Others, don't take my advice, you do so at your own risk. Several days ago I was hoping to ID the part number # for the female F connector on a Toyota premium horn install harness. I wanted that part to make my own harness. Well on my cyber travels I could plainly see that a lot of the "meep meep" horns, the flat round Denso's have that clip or one like it riveted to the back horn. I went to the Pick and Pull got a horn off a Corolla drilled out the rivet got the clip home, dremeled off the plastic around the connector made my own harness and sealed it with some liquid tape. I decided to just remove the bumper cover as well as the black, spacer clipped above the radiator, there is a threaded hole to left of the horn bolt that I used for the second horn Anyway, quite simple really, the hardest part is taking off the cover and replacing it. I painted the brackets flat black, taped off both ends though, the bracket acts as the ground on these setups so that metal on metal has to be a good clean surface contact. I liked the little grills over the mouth of the horns. I just didn't care for them being shiny silver, so removed them and painted them black as well.
