It was noticed this week on several road rage occasions after being undercut , pulled out in front of on roundeebouts and general bad driving. My HORN is pathetic
Is there an easy way of simply changing my sad HORN and replacing it with a Proud and impressive HORN that people take notice of

Excellent price,
Are they easily fitted to the Bongo without any adaptions, and has anyone on this forum use them

They look ok, and should be an easy fit, but they're not 'Air Horns'. definitely electric.

Yep just electric but they sound like air horns.
Both Miss Fixit and I have fitted them and we both enjoy a most satisfying honk when the opportunity presents itself.

I got some similar last year, easy fit, had to take out the drivers side headlight to get to the old one, mounted in the same place on the existing wiring, much better sound.

Too slow

Well,

you need at least three air horns. The more and the larger the better.

We had the Dukes ones on our blue bongo and we are going to fit air horns to the works bongo.

Strictly for off road use and with a seperate switch, so the MOT tester is happy. Will prob fit a loud horn instead of the standard one also. There're a lot of nutty drivers around at the moment, jumping amber lights and drifting across lanes without warning, they need a good blast to wake them up.

Did you just wire up, or use the relay and a new supply form the battery?

The system appears to already have a relay in it somewhere - at least mine does.
So all I did was add a "piggy back" positive wire for the second unit and earth both units.

Must fit these to mine. Are they behaving OK in terms of reliability Kirsty and Scanner (the horns I mean!). I only ask as we've all experienced the 'rusting spotlights from ebay' phenomenon and I'd prefer no more repeats (although I've now taken to smearing vaseline on my spotlights chromework and it seems to be doing the trick, more or less).
