Hello,
I have an 05 wrx STi. just a few mods... but i did just get my new horns (HELLA) in this week an would like to instal them myself.
so does any one know if i can just plug an play or would i need to follow the wireing guide? i understand these are a universal part so i may need to do some wireing. any help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks again
Sheldon

As JJ suggests you should use a relay. The Hella's are pretty high current

Ok did you get the mount to hold the horns? Also do you have any kind of wire to make a harness?

Do you understand the wiring diagram? Super simple. Your first step is to cut the wire lengths and start making your runs. Test mount the horns and leave extra wire. You can cut that later. I won't have pics cause mine is all in wire loom. If you need a more specific question just ask and I will be glad to help you. You can even call me later if you like.

JJ,
I cant thank you enuf for helping me with this. You spoke of a mounting bracket. would this be something i would need to mount them in the grill like yours? or can i just mount them on the old mount and what looks like a crash censor. the old horns have an offset mount not even in the grill. i realy have poor internet at my home an my questions earlier where done from work. (love my job) i realy do apreciate all the help i can get. unfortunatly the weather here hasnt been to good an i dont have a garage. im shooting to work on it this sunday sometime after 4pm. (not sure if you'll be avail for questions)( you said something about being able to call you?)(I think your going above an beyond!!!!!) if the weather is clear. im thinking 2 hours max. what do you think?
Thank you so much!!!!!!!!!
I wish i would have found your forum 3 years ago. spent 2500 buck to find out my injectors wher bad... dont like to bash subie but the service centers in NH are clueless:/

No problem pal. Here is the bracket I got. http://www.subimods.com/subimods-com-hella-supertone-horns-bracket.html You can go ahead and start laying your wire out and once you mount them its 15 minutes tops to wire up. I will be around Sunday if you need to call me. Thanks again for you nice comments.

We have the best people in here. They are from other forums that don't help people or know what they are doing, and got fed up and now reside here. The knowledge in this forum is unreal. Just ask.

Hey sheldon I jumped from forum to forum trying to find knowledgable people so when I asked a question I didn't blow my motor. This is the spot. I met Fuji in NC who turned me onto this site w/o even knowing me he helped me out with a new uppipe, that's the kind of people on here, and they are freaking rocket scientists with these cars and they care about the community, no cliques, no bashing, straight info and good times.
