Review on πŸ“’ Fiamm 72002 High Note Replacement Horn: Louder, Clearer, and Safer Sound Upgrade by Jason Ballard

Revainrating 5 out of 5

FIAMM High Note Horn

OEM horn for Saturn Sky and Pontiac Solstice (except easy to connect clamps). Unfortunately these 2 good cars have 1 "low" horn (same FIAMM model numbers as this one). By adding this second 'high' horn, wired in parallel to the original 'low' horn that comes with these cars, you no longer have to be ashamed of honking the horn. Now he sounds like my Corvette, not like a sick cow. Note that the manufacturer numbers on the original horns and this one are the same. The only way to distinguish a "low" note horn from a "high" note horn is to have the letters L (for low) or H (for high) on the horn body. Just pay attention as they don't stand out in any way. I have chosen to connect the new tweeter horn in parallel and with the same polarity as the original woofer OEM horn. Do not use the ground wire that comes with the new horn. FIAMM states that polarity is not critical, but I have chosen to stick with the same polarity. You need to connect the wires that power the original horn. Space is tight but take your time and you'll be fine. Carefully remove the horn from the hood and headlight housing. I screwed my tweeter horn next to the original, in the cavity in front of the right front wheel, but below the original horn. Make sure the horn is pointing down like the original to keep dirt out. By bending the mounting bracket that comes with this horn 90 degrees, you'll find that installation is very easy. Use an appropriately sized nut and bolt with lock washer. I installed it on a cross member just in front of the wheel which is already drilled for convenience so no drilling is required. For looks and safety I used a loom to protect the wires and smeared the terminals with silicon dielectric to maintain a good electrical connection. You may need to replace the 10A fuse with a 15A fuse. I still use the original 10 amp fuse and it held up. If it burns out I'll replace it with a 15 amp one, that's in my Corvette. The relay handles the extra load quite well. You will find the fuse in the fuse box above the right front wheel. After installation, be careful not to allow the new horn to collide with the hood and headlight assembly when you lower the hood very slowly. A buddy to help you search would be nice. Much luck.
