it's not that hard. One wire for + and the other wire is ground. You can mount them at stock location too

You can actually plug the OEM wire to any of the terminal. Then connect the extra terminal to a ground point (such as the chassis or battery -ve). There is no polarity to the terminal on the horn.

yeah what they said, it's a really easy process. Plug and play, you just have to ground the other terminal

also, have fun installing the horn behind the grille. It took me awhile and some torn up hands to get it bolted on.

For the second horn did you splice the factory wiring from the rear factory location? or did you do all the splicing with the front mount? Mine are currently in the stock locations but I want to move both up front.

On 2K2 and 2K3 both horns are mounted on the front from the factory.
I just installed hellas today on my car during lunch break, they look pretty aggressive and they are loud

Are you trying to mount them side by side behind the grill?

i've got a question about these. do you have to cut the little clips that hook on to the factory horns with these or do the clips just hook right on?
