What gauge wire for horn replacement?
 
I am going to do a horn replacement and wondered if anyone knows what gauge the wire is before I get the wheel well taken apart?

I bought a dual note set so I'll have to wire in the add'l horn.

Thanks in advance.

Where did ya score the dual horn set ?

Amazon.com for under $20. Obviously I haven't installed it yet so I can't say what it's like but I did see some other members on here have purchased the same set as a replacement and I watched several YouTube videos where others had used this set to replace the horns on their vehicles.

I was deciding between two horns... the Wolo Bad Boy which is a small self-contained air horn and the Fiamm El Grande twin note horns.

I chose the Fiamm El Grande since it's a direct wire in, no need to worry about fuses and you can even use the same stock bracket.

You going to start a seperate thread on this? I really would like to change the stock horn.

Do a quick search there are actually several threads on horn replacement already.

That's where I got the idea and the names of the horns to choose from. ;)
