Now that I've pulled the car outta the garage and have seen the horns from a distance, I think Imma keep them where they are. Just gotta fix them so they are level. Upon the first glance, like in the picture in the OP, they look too far apart. But from 10+ feet back they look fine. I'll have to get a picture from further back.

Haha, I'll wash it eventually. For the 3rd time this year. I'll see if I can wake up early enough for a shoot.

I did a straight plug and play install on my friend's G (deepdiver) today. But I had to extend two wires about 8" to mount the driver side horn where it is. The stock wires are not long enough to reach that side. Just took some 18 gauge wires and some quick disconnects.

Here is what they look like installed in the stock location. Didn't take any pictures with the stock grille. Forgot.

I did not use the relay. I spoke with several members that have these installed without the relay and none of them have had any issues thus far. I've done my fair share of research. Lots of the Suby guys that aren't using the relays haven't reported any problems, either.

F word. I just realized my 52mm polarizer is broken. Can't use the 85 1.8 or 100 2.8. Well, I can. But I don't want to, lol.

correct ohella...you dont have to use it..I didnt. on the install when you remove the stock plugs on the back of your OEM hornes...there are 2 plugs...a 14amp and a 10amp..the 10 amp connects to the 10 on the back of the Hella horn and the 14 amp attaches to the 7 I believe or the other one...no you do not have to un-plug the battery.

Yes, that's the relay. No, you don't need to use it. No, I didn't unplug my battery (didn't wanna reset my clock and radio presets lol). Enjoy.
