Just bought a set of air horns (not the stupid music ones, just the mad max style), have gone to put them in and realised i cant even see the old one let alone change it.

Anyone got a howto by chance or am i just gonna wing it?

Thanks

i'd imagine you'd need to take the front bumper off then to get access to the horn...

there should be a black cover on the bottom of the bumper, if you take that off you should have access to it or one of the wheel arch inserts :)

Open the bonnet, remove black cover that is between headlights, one in front of radiator. You should be able to get to it from there.
