🚗 Hella Supertone High Tone Horn H31631021: 12V Single Horn with Red Protective Grill Review

I have installed Hella Supertone horns on several cars over the years. The set I bought from Revain for a "great price" broke down after only a few months of installation. I've just had the opportunity to remove the bumper from the car again to diagnose the horns. I hooked them up to one of my other machines that also has Hella horns that work fine. They only uttered a short cry and nothing else. From this I can only conclude that this is the case if the product is not genuine. I see Hella…

Installed them on my Prius today (no relay really needed). Tried them out in the backyard (stray cats felt the urge to urinate) and went down the fun route. A few hours later, I was stuck on a one-way street because some idiot was trying to walk the sidewalk in the opposite direction.

The installation is quite easy. Although the nuts that attach the brackets to the back of the horns are EXCEPTIONALLY tight as another reviewer noted. However, if you are careful and conscious in…

This is my third set of Hella Supertone horns. The first 2 were bought a long time ago to improve the sound of Mercedes and Land Rover. They were made in Germany. This set was made in India. Aside from buying factory replacement horns for a car whose horn sound you like, buying horns based on expectation of a specific sound or tone is actually quite complex.
