Hi guys, I want to replace my car horn, since all you versa guys out there know that they are the most embarrasing things out there! I would like to install some PIAA sports horns, but was wondering about the wiring. My 2009 versa has only 1 horn, so how would I go about installing the PIAA horns (there are 2 of them). Do i need to use any relays or mess with any of the fuses?

All help is appreciated, thanks a bunch!

Maybe it's because I have an older model with two horns and possibly a different model of horn but while I find it higher pitched, I don't think it's weak or embarassing.

And if you only have one horn and want to install two, you may need a relay to make sure it doesn't burn up a fuse if you ever have to lay on it. When you're messing with a safety device, you wanna make sure you do it right...

I got 2 horns as well and it sounds alright for a small car, I honk people move over.

On a side note, my friend in his Blazer has a REAL life Train Horn When he honks people don't just move the fly off the road.

This is the horn I have on my car. It's sounds better than the stock horn. Cheap and you can get at a local auto parts store.http://www.amazon.com/Wolo-310...uto_3

Just an FYI. It appears as if the Horn Relay and the fuse (10A) are the same in 2007, and 2008+ models (1 horn vs 2 horns).

Therefore I'd guess you just need to wire them up in Parallel and you'd be all set.
