Our cars have a horn relay, why use theirs? 
A relay allows you to activate higher current drawing devices with lower current devices. The horn buttons on your steering wheel are 12 Volts but don't carry much load. They only activate the relay under the hood which allows the larger load of the horns to be seen by the main electrical system, not the subsystem of switches inside the cabin.

They go right in the stock locations. You need to provide a ground wire for them, I used the mounting bolt as the ground point.
The Hella's are two tones and depending on which one you put up front the tone will vary slightly.
You dont really need to remove the grill, it's tight, like a German girl.
