    yea, sounds kinda dumb, but can someone with a 95.5, 96 or maybe even a 97 Tacoma tell me where the horns are mounted?

    I know one is just to the right (looking at the front) of the right headlight, behind the grill. Where is the 2nd one? On my 99 the other was mounted beside the air box.

    My DD only had one horn when I got it, and now Im trying to upgrade to a more manly horn set and cant find the power wire for the second horn.

    My 96 has one horn. Behind grill. Other truck may have had one added?

    I bought a set of two and mounted them behind the grille pointed down and out. Sounds like a full sized American now.

    Can you tell me where exactly the horn should be I don't have an answer to why someone removed it. I'm trying to find the wires to hook up a new one. If i have to remove the grille? any advice except use a flat head and dont break the tabs ?

    Clips can be obtained from the dealers, should you break any...After I put new horns on, most of mine were junk, so I used some heavy duty black zip ties through the holes: no rattles as long as you pull the ties good and tight.

    Just connect the wire you had to the old horn to the bad max air horn , connect to the front frame underside, will take 15 minutes to do without pulling everything apart
