Lucas horn 12V Low Windtone, anyone tried this?

[Cloudland]

did a search no result on Lucas horn.

the pic was taken in local Repco (if you wonder, i'm in New Zealand). it looks a lot easier to install, and it's on special, price slashed from NZ$91 to 19 (!?)

so, anyone tried this before? thanks.

ugh forgot the pic.

well for that much you should just try it

 

[Cloudland]

yeah right. however quite a few stuff i bought ended up being a paperweight.

btw, did a search, this Lucas brand seems to be quite some history, will give it a try.

the sound is better than stock

connected the negative to the mouting bracket then to car body frame, went out for a drive, tried the horn several times, then stop, got out of the car, closed the door, oh wtf! i got electrified touching the door! it's not like those annoying static shock, this one is quite strong, assume 12V, my thumb hurts a lot, reminds me of some 220V shock before.

well, is this normal, i mean, after disconnect the (negative of) battery and connect again? or should i put a ground wire somewhere under the body and touch the ground or some sort like those old tricks?

i only got electrified once today though, out of 3 or 4 trips.

btw, broke 2 plastic brackets when getting rid of the front facial, and 3 bottom clips seemed not attached. well, the horn sounds better after all.

this one helps

although extension name is avi, it's just a wav.

ugh... the horn is one of the cheaper mod i thought, this is one is just NZ$19.

it's just that now i'm constantly getting the static thingy, thinking maybe a ground kit could help?

btw, changed the mounting the other day, now the open end facing down to avoid water coming in (didn't read the instruction well).
