PIAA 85110 400 500HZ Sports Horn

I know this has been discussed before but I want to say that these horns are awesome. They are way better than my 1996 I30's OEM horns.

This is the one that I bought:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00067BWBI

Installation is pretty straight forward, true plug and play. I tried my factory alarm as well and it seems it will use the 2 front horns and the one back next to the windshield fluid reservoir. I am hoping the new louder sound will deter thieves!


Here are the pics of the installed PIAA. Although I am thinking to reground the right horn to a different location since the ground wire included is a little short.

Both horns are working with no problem. Do you think the ground locations are OK?

Thanks
SMB

Rust metal = poor ground. Also, you are grounding to the bracket, you should ground directly to the rad support, and sand the bare metal. spray paint when done to prevent corrosion.

Thanks asand1. Hopefully I'll reground them by this weekend.
And here you go VQ'rInWLA:



And this is comparison video between the 400/500 and 500/600 PIAA horns. I liked the 400/500 more.

400/500 definitely sounds better.
