Install 2nd horn (high note) without drilling or removing bumper, very easy.

I figured out a way to get a second horn into the passenger side space where there should have been installed a second horn (a high note horn like the Mazda 6). There is sufficient space between the radiator and the front cross member where you can pass the horn from the lower bumper up to the space where you install the horn.

Tools needed:
flat blade screw driver - to remove the fasteners
16 gauge wire (about 3 feet)
Electrical connectors
extendable magnetic retriever
Mazda 6 high note horn - about 32 bucks from dealer


1. pry out the 5 fasteners, then remove the top plate


2. Unscrew the ground wire where it is attached to the passenger side space where the high note horn will be attached.

3. extend the magnetic retriever so that it reaches half way in the space between the radiator and the front cross member. Push the horn through the lower bumper opening (see arrows) and reach up to the middle of the space between radiator and front cross member. You have to feel it and there is enough space to slip the horn through that space. Be patience and you can do it. Having a skinny arm helps in this situation.


4. Use the magnetic retriever to fish up the horn and hook the horn onto the tab (where the ground wire is screwed onto). Line up the ground wire on top of the horn hook and screw them together into the existing hole.


5. Plug the wires and test your new Hi/Lo horn.

6. Enjoy!

1. Where are you tapping into power?
2. What type of connector plugs into power, or do you supply both a male and female connector for power?
3. Do both horns honk at the same time? What do they sound like?

Thanks.

1. Where are you tapping into power?
from the same plug that goes to the low note horn.
2. What type of connector plugs into power, or do you supply both a male and female connector for power? Just standard connectors you can buy from Walmart. Built a two female one male splitter to connect both horns to the same factory plug.
3. Do both horns honk at the same time? What do they sound like?
Both sound simultaneously. Very loud and gets attention of the idiot who tried to cut me off.

Thanks.

Nice!
I was passing an MX5 while in my MX5, the other morning and the other driver honked his horn. It sounded like that from an 18 wheeler - shocked me quite a bit, as it was totally unexpected.
