Maybe try the panic alarm. That’ll be loud
That's work but what if a mom pushing her 2 month old baby passing by my car right when I press that button...

:thumbsup: on the Hellas, used them on both my Miatas, saved my butt several times on the highway when trucks were trying to merge on me. My dealer kindly installed a set (hi & lo) Accord horns on my Civic, vast improvement over stock. An audible set of horns on a smaller car is a definite safety upgrade, especially with all the trucks we have to share highway space with.

Oh yeah, to find your car, like the above poster indicated, just push "Panic", the horn blows, lights flash, just look for the party in the parking lot!:nixon:Don't worry, most people look away or walk away from any car alarm!
Which civic do you have? Any clue if I can use both high and low tone horns in a civic sport touring hatch just plug and play? Or would I need an adapter to connect both?

Once the bumper is off, it's pretty easy. 5-10mins max if you use the pre-made Horn Adapter from CollegeHillsHonda: https://www.collegehillshonda.com/product/0S18.html

I already had the bumper off for other mods but I have seen a few that were able to just remove the small black grill part.
Would this harness allow it to connect both high and low tone horns from the accord then? Not just one? If so no other things (other then this harness) necessary?

I just purchased a single horn upgrade by FIAMM, similar to the Wolo version I found on Amazon. I believe one horn will suffice, also install is fairly easy. Just ground and power, which you can splice into the stock horn harness. Only time consuming part is the removal/reinstall of the front bumper.

I'm gonna be relocating my horns because since I upgrade to the PRL intercooler my hellahorns dont fit no more. So if you have a stock front mount you can change the horns with no issue.

It sucks having just one horn just doesn't sound right. It's a beeep noise but doesn't have the "get out of my way" beep I want. If I want 2 I need to go through an adapter and pigtail connectors to allow for 4 instead of the 2 that come with the adapter

I think you may need to run a relay as well, due to the added power of the second horn.

Nope, no relay needed, didn't use one with the Hellas in my Miatas, no problem, added Accord horns ( high & low) to my Civic, same deal, my Honda mechanic just wired them together, tested current draw was ok. He just wired them in parallel.

How much did the dealer charge you? If they can wire both high and low in for me I might do it since I'm not the type who wires things

I think the standard Honda horn relay is 10 amps. You can check a horn with any battery charger that has an amp meter. I found the older Delco car horns are about 7 amps each. Two would be too much for a 10 amp relay.

I upgraded my Honda Fit with junkyard horns and wiring from a later model Odyssey. Had to take the connector apart to solder in the second wire. Sounds like a normal car horn now.

On the civic hatch and perhaps the others you don't need to remove the bumper. I did mine just removing the small grill piece. Horns are right there. I had to bend the metal supports that came with the kit and they fit perfectly. The college hills Honda kit is a super bargain. These horns are no joke. LAF!!!!
I just recorded this and my ears hurt lol.
