Mllcg 3rd Gear May 20, 2012 Author Share May 20, 2012 so how to tell them install? the "holes" facing upwards? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nzy Twincharged May 20, 2012 Share May 20, 2012 The holes should be facing down. The horns spoil probably cuz water got in and got trapped inside the horn Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gee 1st Gear May 20, 2012 Share May 20, 2012 Make sure that it is the horn that's faulty. No sound could be due to bad connection or fuse blown or something else. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommimakinen Clutched May 20, 2012 Share May 20, 2012 hijack abit... :) noob question... is aftermatket horns like hella/ bosch approved? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Othello Supersonic May 20, 2012 Share May 20, 2012 generally, yes they are weatherproof. Means can tahan rain but not submerged under water. Horns are always situated behind the front grille, sure will kenna water one, and usually the flare part faces down (the correct mounting position) horns are cheap. go and get them changed. Get those two tone type, loud and shiok !! Eg. Stebel Magnum II Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SimonTan 2nd Gear May 21, 2012 Share May 21, 2012 Drill draining holes in those spriral horns. I did that for my motorcycle horn. To get maximum sound forward you need to 'aim' the opening forward. But that will cause water to go into the horn during rain and washing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Count-Bracula Twincharged May 21, 2012 Share May 21, 2012 The holes should be facing down. The horns spoil probably cuz water got in and got trapped inside the horn Bro, isn't front facing more effective? Louder por por? Will installing new horns mess up the car's electric circuit? Heard something about resistor to go with the installation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Count-Bracula Twincharged May 21, 2012 Share May 21, 2012 No approved or not approved. Only air horns are NOT ALLOWED. Air horns don't install, just put it within reach on the dashboard. Lower window and blast! ooops! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
