Hella horn installation

[leungalv]

Hi there ... so I picked up a Hella Horn today ... is there anyone willing to install it for me (for a fee of course). Thanks :)

[Jackal]

Nice! Try Mcguyver_3 (Dan). PM him. He will be installing my horns soon.

if you buy my plane ticket ill do it for free

It is really easy to do yourself; really easy. I think the only install easier would be HID fogs.

hes still gotta take his bumper off and drill some holes unless he wants to mount it in the stock location. it is easy but he may not want to get into that. none the less he could do it in about 2 hours to be safe and take his time

I'll just kindly ask McGuyver_3 if he minds installing it for me. :) Thanks y'all

He does not need to take his bumper off. If he intends to mount them in the stock location it is easier to remove the bumper, but is not required.

It's either remove the bumper cover or remove/bend back the undercover. Pulling the bumper cover gives the best access and isn't too hard to do... although either way I'd be waiting until at least April when it's a whole lot warmer.... easier on the fingers, and the plastic bits are flex more easily (=less brittle) when warm.

[Donutz]

Oh, I don't disagree that it is easier to remove the entire cover, or remove the top/side screws and drop the bumper forward, but it's not entirely necessary. I installed my horns on the rad support without removing the bumper. I removed a couple of screws and reached in through the wheel well to unclip the power source from the stock horn. Everything else was done from the top.

i found it easier to take the bumper off

doing this stuff should be fun... trying to fish stuff in through the back plastic splash shield would not be fun lol although possible

Do you have a CAI or SRI. ? I did my horn upgrade through the wheel-well, but I removed all the air ducting to get at it first. I can't recall how much clearance there was with the air duct in place. I also had the wheel off....

[Donutz]

Yes, CAI. Good point.

I saw your instructions. They are great instructions, except I'm not entirely comfortable with taking off the bumper myself :) I've inquired with Dan and will have him install it! Thanks everyone

[Donutz]

It's easy. Aside from the fender liners, remove 6 screws and you can drop the bumper.

i went to Street Performance last month. Jimmy told me no necessary take the bumper away. He can hold them behind the Grill without bumper off

yes thats true but you still need to get at the stock horn and wiring and to go through the wheel well takes more time then just removing the bumper. plus with removing the bumper u get so much more room to work with.

plus this has been talked about for soo long.

[Soyabean]

Time to install a set of these on my gfs car tomorrow
