    And I also have a motorcycle background. Rarely used my horn on the bike but would let drivers know they made a mistake so hopefully they don't continue doing so

    In an emergency situation, I agree with you as well.

    Non emergency stop lights and texting, I'll tap the horn.

    Yeah but what about being stopped at a traffic light and some asshole comes speeding at you full speed not realizing you're stopped. I can't tell you the amount of times this has happened recently. Is there a way to mount a horn in the bed of the truck or underneath so it's projected backwards or would pod lights facing rearward be a better option to flick on and off.

    They're Hella super tones. The hella sharp tones are the yellow and blue ones like I have on the subie. The super tones are more powerful, and shouldn't be ran on stock wiring. The sharp tones are more OEM sounding, and can be on stock wiring.

    I've been thinking of getting a Hella horn for my 2015. The stock horn is pitiful.

    That Cadillac sounds awesome!

    I bought a set from a '87 Cadillac DeVille to put in my '98. Think they were like $6 each at Pick n Pull. At least you guys have normal sounding horns. The Tacomas made from 1995-2000 had a horn that sounded like a Japanese Scooter.

    Oh man, my 4 hella sharptones saved my ass this morning. Was going 80 down the highway with the flow of traffic, and some dickhead flies left towards me cutting across multiple lanes. I leaned on my horns as soon as I saw him coming, and he avoided me. I got it on my dash cam that I'll post in here later.

    Question for Mesojdm,did you need to install an extra relay to run 4 horns or were you able to just splice into the existing 2 horn wires? Thanks in advance

    For four horns you need to run a relay since your stock horn wiring can't handle four horns. Depending if you do super or sharp tones, that would range between 168-264 watts, and your stock is only wired to handle 120 watts.
