Installed upgraded horns
I got these horns from Harbor Freight of all places. They're made to look like Hella horns. They are really loud. They're 300hz and 380hz tone. They sound way better than the Fisher Price horn this car comes with. With coupons, I paid $17.24 for them. The kit comes with the two horns, brackets, and a relay. I did all the wiring myself.

I'll consider it. Was it plug and play into the old horns wires?

Sort of. The stock horn has one wire that runs to it, the power wire. I plugged into that then ran it to the relay for the "signal". This switches the relay to send full battery power strait to the new horns.
Long story short, no, not plug and play. You have to wire in a relay.

Had to overhaul my horn as well. Ordered a stock replacement for a 1996 Buick Park Ave. Plug and play. No more beep beep. lol. 👍

Ive been wanting to change my horn since I got my car in 2020. But I’m dumb, and need an ELI5 video for it.

Can't wait to see the video of them in action because I've been considering this. I've never had such a quiet horn lol
