Accord one has a high and a low pitch horn. So just install a low pitch one will do?

Thanks for the tip RetroFit. I did the swap today with no broken parts! Now I lay on the horn & still feel like I have a pair!

I installed the Accord horn into mine, and while I'm happy that it's louder, I'm still going for the Nautilus air horn. Anyone else installed that horn into their fit?

OK so you plugged one or the other into the white electrical jack but have you mounted it to the frame? If not then it is not grounded and won't work..

Nevermind on the relays. It was the grounding, when I first put it in, I only used pliers, on the second time i decided to use a 12mm wrench, now it works like a charm, great mod guys!

I installed my Accord horn, and while it's in perfect working order, I still think I need something a bit louder, say, a Nautilus air horn. Anyone here installed one on a Fit?

I just installed mine today. Big difference. One thing... I broke two clips. Does anyone know where I can get those clips? I'm looking on HondaPartsNow and I can't seem to find it. Does anyone have the part number for them? Thanks!
