A bunch of upgrades planned

Hey gang, so I've got a 2017 Civic Sedan 6 MT and I've got some plans for it, first thing is the horn for it, I have the current wimpy one and need a deeper sounding SUV style horn, not like a train horn. Up next since the front bumper will be off is to replace the fog lights with OEMs or which ever looks the best/most similar to the day time running LEDs already, I'll also not be doing these upgrades because I'm not very crafty and don't want to mess anything up. After that I'd like to vinyl wrap all the crome on the car to make it black and shiny, and to also replace the low beams and high beams with something brighter than what I've got now. Sorry for the long post, any help would be appreciated, help with the fog light styles, and type of light for the low and high beams as well as the fog lights. Thanks guys.

Horn - I recently upgraded my horn as well. I didn't like that "meep meep" sound of the factory horn and wanted an angrier tone since I'm usually pissed at other idiots on the road when I use the horn. I found a set of Hella motorcycle horns (lol) on amazon for ~$10 and decided why the heck not. First of all, for the installation, you may not be able to fit both horns on the same plane, so be prepared to get creative with fitting the horns in. Second, you'll need to splice into some wires - no big deal. The main issue I had was the tone of the horns that I purchased. They sounded angrier, but were still high pitched. I ended up throwing the factory horn back in ALONG WITH the two Hella horns (so 3 horns total) - and now it sounds annoying af, just the way I wanted it. Just a warning though, I had to get pretty creative with the placement of 3 horns in the factory location. I did the math and kept the same fuse (5A) and it hasn't blown on me yet.

Headlights - I have LEDs in the low beams. They're definitely whiter than stock halogen bulbs, and if you get a good LED design, the light output would be similar if not better than the stock bulbs. The trick is to find bulbs that imitate the location of the filament in the halogen bulbs. For example, this is what I mean when it imitates a filament. See how the LEDs are arranged in a straight line like where a filament would be.


This is NOT what you want, not only because it doesn't imitate a filament, but also because its a COB LED. It's easier to get away with using lower quality LEDs with the COB style, so stay away from these if you can.

You'll also see that many of the older designs have fans to help dissipate heat (bottom picture). I prefer not to get the ones with fans because it's another failure point, and the fans could collect dust and grime. You can also hear the fans running from inside the car. The first example of the LEDs above has a passive heatsink, which I prefer - no moving parts. It's bulky, but I was able to fit that into my car without issues. As far as the high beams, I didn't bother replacing those with LEDs. I rarely use them anyway, so I'd rather save a few bucks. But if you want to, same principle applies (also applies to fog lights). Just be sure to adjust the beams after installing the LEDs. No one likes being blinded by poorly aimed headlights. I believe the color temperature you want is around 5500K (doesn't have to be exact + or - 500K is close enough).
