    I dunno,,, I'd ask the seller if they at the very least have a copy of the instructions for you to review before you purchase them, and better yet an install video. If they do not have a decent instructions,,,, I think this is all you need to know about their product pre-purchase.

    you need to pull the front grille, fender flares, and front bumper to access the screws to install them.

    you should know your own skill level whether that's something you can accomplish or not.

    Bumper removal is excessive. Just need to remove grille and headlights. Watch a headlight removal video on Youtube.

    Dunno about those but I installed meso custom trims pieces that are the same part but without the lights and that was already a pain. Not hard, just annoying.

    it's a cheapy variant of this
    $27 HK 12V 150db Air Horn, 18"es Chrome Zinc Single Trumpet Truck Air Horn with Compressor Powerful Loud 150db for Truck Boat SUV Train (Sliver)
    https://www.amazon.com/HK-Trumpet-C...98545574&sprefix=12v+air+horn,aps,101&sr=8-16

    and i'm also using a hella supertone 300hz to add a little more immediacy to the tone.

    the supertones were a nice/easy upgrade(zero mods, just add a ground wire, and the factory wiring plugs in), the air horn is an even better upgrade despite needing a relay harness the supertones didn't need. it's impossible not to notice, and definitely vents my frustrations appropriately when i need it.
