Can anybody tell where the horn is located?

I have bought these today from M & P's for a tenner and want to fit them.

130dB's so should sound better than the original.

Below offside headlamp - you need to remove headlamp to get at it.

Was that in M&P's sale or the normal price Mikey?

It would be worth fitting a relay to drive them as they could drawer too much current for the original switch. Did that on mine & never had any problem.

I've decided not to lower the tone.

Fitted them, positioned either side of the radiator.

Vast improvement over the original.

So why do you need to have a louder horn??? :?

I can perhaps remember having to use my horn twice in the last 12 months, both a gentle toot just to announce my prescence.

Down here in South Wales, some of the roads in the Gower are rather narrow with blind turns - I always give a blast on the horn to warn people that I am approaching. The louder the better.

Not only that the original horn sounded poxy - should be on Noddy's little car not on a big Bongo.

Received my horns from M&P on Friday and fitted them today. Although they are certainly louder than the strangulated chicken original, they are nowhere near 130db. Certainly worth £9.99 though.
