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?

I'll be picking up a pair of Hella Supertones when I get back from my camping trip this weekend.

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!

Materials needed:
- Flat head screwdriver
- 12mm Socket & Ratchet.
- 09 Accord's Horn (Part #38100-STK-A02)
- 15 Minutes.

First remove these 8 Clips using a flathead screw driver to get access to the stock horn.

Once you remove the panel, you have to remove these 2 clips in order to get to the 12mm bolt that's holding the horn.

Then remove the 12mm bolt

09 Accord's Horn vs. Stock 09 Fit

Put everything back together & voila, easiest upgrade ever.

thanks to your hands on instructions, I was able to change my horn out in 15 min this afternoon. I actially took my wireless netbook out to the garage to consult your pictures as I went along to make sure I didn't miss anything
