I just recieved a truck horn for my birthday because mine is half broken from a puddle. I have no idea where the horn is now and how to replace it with this horn. I am assuming I have to remove my bumped to complete the installation, if this is true... How do i remove the bumper? Can i do it without removing it? Is it just two wires like it is configured on the aftermarket horn? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

I've always wanted to have one of these to blast at the people who are on the phone or cut me off.

Why should you care if someone talk to the phone is not ur buisnes
I don't mind someone talking on the phone while driving, you are right in saying it isn't anyone's business outside of the individuals on either side of that phone call. But it becomes my business when that driver begins obstructing the flow of traffic due to that distracting phone call. (usually driving to slow, making horrible lane changes, etc.) Hopefully the hands-free law starting here in LA on July 1st will help. Definitely a hard law to enforce, but at least it's a start.
Okay, BTT: IMO, I would do without the truck horn, a truck horn on a luxury sports sedan just does not sound right together. GL with your install if you pursue it tho...
quick reference here, last post..

How do you change the horn to begin with? Has anybody in this forum done this? My friend has this wolf whistle he has in his car. Kinda useless but doesn't hurt to add a feature like this to my ride.

Let me just state that the use of these 'truck' or high-intensity horns is not only dumb, but dangerous. There is absolutely no need for a horn that loud in your car. All you really need is a horn that is +10-15 dB above ambient, which is what standard auto horns provide--this ensures that the horn can be heard clearly, and is not masked by noise.
Anything of an intensity greater than that can cause distraction (not just the "I'm here" functionality of a standard horn, but something that might cause a startle response in other drivers to the point that an accident may happen) and hearing loss for anyone who is directly exposed to it (e.g., pedestrians). Don't be a tool.

I should have restated that, I don't care if your on the phone, everyone who I get cut off by or when they dont use there turn signal is from some person talking on the phone and paying no attention. Not to mention my dog was killed right in front of me as some lady was dialing a number on her phone.
