salsa-king Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 I bought my Hella Tones from Subimods, along with the custom fitting bracket and wire harness that they do. http://www.subimods.com/hella-supertone-horn-kit.html They do a fitting PDF how to, but there's nothing better than an a write up by me showing that the ordinary man in the street can do it too. Here goes... 1: Undo the clips holding the front bumper on. 4 on the wheel arch. 4 across the front grille and 6 on the under side of the bumper. 2. I put a couple of screw drivers in two of the grille holes, so when you take the bumper off it doesn't fall off in one go. 3. Ease the sides of the bumper away from the wings. Not much pressure needed, they came out dead easy. 4. Pull out with your fingers the washer jet covers and unclip the cover off the washer. Easier than you think, they pull out quite a way so you will see what needs to come off. 5. Bring the bumper away from the car and un clip any wire to the fog lights. Again, easy to do they pull off. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
salsa-king Posted July 13, 2014 Author Share Posted July 13, 2014 6. Locate the centre horn, use WD40 to help it come off, unclip the cable from it and remove the bolt and horn. The bolt isn't needed so don't replace it. 7. Look for the 2nd horn on the drivers side. Unclip the power to it (I insulating taped it up to protect from weather and taped it up out the way. Remove this horn + it's holding bracket (if you like), I did and put the bolt back in. Just in case I wanted to fit the old one back I'd know where it went. 8. Once you have your Horns fitted onto your bracket (with the notch cut out on the left - as you look at it) you can fix it to the centre (remove centre bolt like in my picture) using the bolt you've taken out. 9. The relay I took all the way to the left side of the front protection bar, tie clipping it to the bar and an extra tie clip to a bracket hole you will see when you're doing it. 10. Once all that is in place you can feed the rest of the wiring loom along the same protect front bar (there is a slight channel you can keep the loom running in as you tie clip it securely along it. Also neatly tie clip the loom wires that come from the back of the horns down the centre, as shown below. 11. Then take the last bit of the loom that needs to go to the + & - of the Battery, up behind the head light and on the inside of the wing. When you're doing it you'll see where's best for you to feed it along, connect Red to Power + and Black to negative on the Battery (test of course before you fit it all neatly). 12. Tidy up any of your tie clips, check all is secure and clean all the muck off bits you don't normally get to ;) 13. You can see the difference the Hella's are compared to the standard horn! 14. Now all to do is re fit bumper back on. 15. Now go and test your horns on someone... they are loud! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R4WLV Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 As bumper removal is included in your guide, I thought I'd ask my question here. My front bumper is gapping slightly (dropped) at the end where it joins to the passenger side arch. I've tried lifting it up and it will sit flush whilst holding it up but just drops again when I let go. How exactly is it fixed? I assume it has some kind of attachment strip behind. I can't find and pics of what is behind the bumper, ie what it clips into. Any help would be really appreciated. I can post a pic if it helps?

salsa-king Posted October 25, 2014 Author Share Posted October 25, 2014 hi, post a pic up. do you mean here? the bumoer tabs fit in the black holding trim, might be worth you taking all the bumper off it investigate. are the clips in place in the wheel arch liner? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay762 Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 sounds like you might have some of the trim pins missing?? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R4WLV Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 Found it now thanks, the attachment strip had dropped out of the wing at the arch lip. I had to back the screw out, push the plastic tab back in then tighten the screw up again. Thanks for the help! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R4WLV Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 I did ask the dealer to sort it before I picked it up, clearly couldn't be bothered Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
