Horn Location?
Does anyone know where the airhorns are located under the hood? I think I lost one of the airhorns and would like to see if its something simple like a loose wire. Thanks!

I was almost sideswiped today by an Expedition. The mama inside was so busy on her cell phone I bet she never heard my 'clown horn'.
So where can I get a more assertive horn that's hopefully a bolt-on replacement. |

Just look for those Hella horns. I had the 118dB version on my Subaru and scared the crap out of man cell-phone talking, land-yacht drivers around here.
While this may not be the cheapest place to get them here is a starting point with what I had: http://www.nlmotoring.com/Hella-Supe...-003399801.htm |

A good horn is worth its weight in gold.
In the late '60s I had a Mini Cooper 1275 S. It looked like a shoe box on a roller skate. People on back roads wouldn't get out of my way till I got a pair of Maserati air horns. BLEEEEEAAAATTTT!!!! You wouldn't have thought American mastodons of that vintage could move sideways so fast.
I have yet to feel the need with the 1er, but the first time I'm really balked, air horn, here I come.

I bought a pair of those Hella's to put on my 330xi, and when I went to install them, I realized how hard it was going to be to get to the existing horns. Lot of shrouds and covers and the existing horns were tucked away inside a u shaped bumper support.
Long story short, I put them on our Ford Ranger instead, and MAN are they loud. The european horn sound is kinda strange coming from a Ranger... but people react real quick!
