    Great news! After some research I got them working and all wired up. I actually made a YouTube Video that I plan on posting this week. Very simple and I love the outcome!

    OK, so I watched and I think what you didn't mention and what I think maybe could be potentially misleading/confusing is when you show plugging in black and red to the two oem connectors.

    My understanding of the OEM denso horns is that they ground through the mounting bolt. So, the two OEM leads would _both_ be power, one to each OEM horn.

    You would feed one (or both) to the relay input pin to trigger high current out to your sharptones, then ground the relay and the sharptones to one or more bolts on the frame.

    I do like the hoodie and woolie cap though, pretty legit.

    NOTE: I have zero hands on with this outside of removing a security horn on my 2016 and reading Amazon reviews but 2 horn with 2 connectors each feeding only one horn says that both must be +12v and they must ground through the mounting bracket.

    Thank you for the feed back! I didn't even notice i did that. I see where that can be misleading. The OEM horns do use that bracket and bolt to ground but, you don't have to use that to ground the Supertones.

    Once again, thanks. :D

    I just replaced the stock horns with the Hella Horns and then grounded them and re-used the original harness wires. They sound a lot louder and are dual tone as well. I believe the stock horns are not dual tone - but the Hz is not listed for the part numbers - so it might be the same. All in all - they are 4 DB louder (as a pair) than the stock horns.

    I have to admit to being in error. Saw some more vids of these and not only is the quality good but the sound quality is too. I was looking into horn/compressor types but the only ones that seem to hold up longer than a few weeks cost like $300 0_o
    these however hold true to the decibel levels advertised and last a good while! I’ll be looking to get some myself in the future!

    I need some help troubleshooting my horns. They work great for a little bit then stop. I checked the fuses and they were all good, could it be a bad ground? I have them grounded on the metal part where the horns mount onto. Is that a ground? I wired 4 horns through the provided relay. Bad relay? Too many horns lol? I used a 15amp fuse on the wire coming from the relay to the battery. Thanks
