Scooby Pete Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 Can anyone point me in the direction of a uk supplier for Hella Super tones? I can only find ebayers from USA/china or for fake ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scooby Pete Posted July 6, 2014 Author Share Posted July 6, 2014 Fitted the hella supertones today. You have to take the whole from bumper off!!! Took me about 4.5 hours, reckon about about an hour was spent going backwards and forwards to my garage at the back off the house. Front bumper off. It's pretty easy, there are a few fasteners on top off the grill, 4 or 5 on each wheel arch and four underneath holding the under tray on. You could do it just removing the grill but you have to take the under tray off to get to 4 screws at the bottom off the grill so it was easier just to whip the bumper off and leave the under tray on the car. I copied the subiemods bracket and made one myself for £15 inc getting a metal workshop to cut it out for me. Made up my own wiring harness using felxitube and heat shrink to tidy all the ends up. Didn't take a pic of that though :( Mounted the really to the side of the relay/fuse box. Finally got the bumper back on and everything back in place. Works a treat, I left one of my stock horns connected in case the separate fuse on the hella loom blows so I still have a horn. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay762 Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 didnt want to say that - but as you pointed out front end comes off easily enough and it will be easier 2nd time around ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gambit Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 I didn't even use the resistor just used the original horn cable and linked round was a Youtube Video somewhere. But looks good mate :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooby Pete Posted July 6, 2014 Author Share Posted July 6, 2014 Yeah lot of people do this but after Reading up on it it seems using the separate loom with a direct feed from the Battery means they are louder than running of the stock loom. Also the thin wires the stock horns use can melt if you get a short or something, using higher rated wire in the separate loom avoids this and also having separate loom and fuse means you won't loose all your horns if something goes.

Gambit Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 I did wonder if that might have been the case with making it louder :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooby Pete Posted July 7, 2014 Author Share Posted July 7, 2014 this only applies to Pre 08 cars. they beefed up the loom on the later cars so you can run it off tyhe stock loom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
