Horns.

No- I'm not going to make a joke with that word.
The original low monotone horn was sad- meaning that when the engine was running you could barely hear it from in cab.
I acquired a set of hi/ low horns for the grand total of $7.50 from harbor freight. They are blingy chromed plastic and came with a relay and "instructions" to hook them up. Instructions is in quotes due to the lack of english speaking translators making the sheet. i.e. 'fit wire overon slot to make grounding happen.'
yeh.
Anyway the supplied relay didn't work so that was replaced with a spare.
The original horn wires went to the sides of the relay, battery power off of the thermal fuse that supplies my headlight relays and the sending wire to both power terminals. These horns had dual power terminals so the others were grounded to the mounts.
I don't know how long these will last- but these puppies are LOUD! Enough to scare the ricers.
