Bummer. I actually find that I use 12mm for a few things. My other driver is a older Jeep Wrangler.
I occasionally fill the role of mekanik.

This is the season for dead batteries, and usually the bolt that holds down the battery box is a 12mm

you could always try to send it with a 1/2” socket? I don’t think those horn bolts are gonna be mad torqued
Yup, tried to go the imperial route but to no avail- spun it around by hand and there were no grabbing points. At that point I put my hands up and said time to place an Amazon order again.

1/2" wont work. 15/32" worked like a charm for me and had zero issues getting it seated an loosened, they're tight but not super tight

Did a little parking lot detail after work. The goofy-roofy Type R logo is visible from overhead.

I got the double and get two harness adapters from college Honda

Wait a min- you guys went straight to the OEM harness? Did you guys consider the amount of current load the new horn requires vs. the stock horns? My trumpets draw about 12A (6A per horn) and so as a precaution, I was thinking of using the relay and running a power wire to my battery instead of possibly frying the wires that come straight from the horn switch itself on the steering wheel. My plan was to run the wire just underneath the plastic front covers far away from any heat sources (aka-engine, radiator) and it's duable. Wire will be protected by plastic wire loom.

I think if they run dual hella horns they should be fine. I've been running them on my wrangler for over a year without a relay and no issues. Now on my Tacoma with 4 hellas that's a whole different story so I ran the relay with power wire like you mentioned. But man hellas are super loud.

I installed the zl1 standard rock guards today! The fronts look great, but the rears, when viewed from the inside, have a weird flare to them. It's something I'll need to get used to seeing.
