ok, send a wire from the red terminal on the batery, run it threw a fuse then to a switch in the cabin. then send the wire from the switch to the + on the air horns. then send the - on the air horns to the body of the car (earth)

- on airhorn--- - BAT + --- fuse --- switch---+on airhorn

Thanks Fellas. Would'nt the switch in the cabin be the horn button the the steering wheel? Also can i use the wires that are already there for the horn thats in it now? Although i have a relay as well.

Cheers

run it to a seperat switch not the horn in the steering wheel. air horns are defectable and if u get pulled over and have to check ya blinkers horn etc... u dont wanna hit the air horns and get fined. run a seperate switch

easiest place to put them is on the lhs front of the engine bay (under and behind the water resovoir). depending on what sort they are, theyre an absolute *&^%$# to secure with the plastic inner guard being all annoying and getting in the way.

cheers,
