Just got my first oil change done complimentary through my HONDA dealer at 6500 miles. I had 15% left but my cars brand new so i just figured why not.
I am planning on some frame braces/support bars from Tiger Tuning by the end of the month and by the spring I will be purchasing coilovers, probably megan.

So i finished installing the HELLA Supertones and they rock, i put the accord horn where the alarm horn was and it sounds great too, diddnt even need to remove my bumper.
I ended up drilling a hole on the left side basically in the same spot where the stock horn goes so that they would be symmetrical.
Here are some pics...(Sorry about the quality, they're from my phone)

I have 2 main horns(the Hella's) and the Alarm Horn which is independent, and behind the headlight.
The stock main horn I removed and used that wire as the signal connector to the Hella relay. You may be having an issue if you didn't put an in line fuse from the positive terminal of your battery to the relay. I believe this is the buffer necessary to prevent what is happening to you. If you have questions let me know, i drew up a whole diagram before I began this project.

You actually need the one behind the headlight if you want your alarm to work as well as the beep when you press lock twice on your key. I found that i was actually able to get to it without removing the bumper, BUT you must take off the grill to be able to.
You can fish one arm through the grill hole to under the light and another in front of the battery to under the headlight. By doing this you can use a wrench to loosed the nut on the back of the horn, NOT the nut that holds the bracket to the body. This was fine with me since i was just replacing the horn and not the bracket. It takes a good amount of force to break the seal of that nut, but its doable.

j's issue sounds more like he didn't run a line off the battery to power the horns with a relay to connect to the OEM wiring, but instead is wired directly into the OEM wiring for power.

aftermarket horn connected to oem horn wire!!!
now all I need is to disconnect the OEM horn and just run off the 2 aftermarket then problem solve!!!

The fuse doesn't act like a buffer for power... only breaks when its overloaded. You actually need a cap or resister to do that.
