Installing a horn kit from HORN KITS requires some mechanical and electrical knowledge but can be done at home with basic tools. The difficulty level depends on the type of vehicle and the complexity of the kit.
For smaller air horn kits, installation is relatively simple. These kits often feature a compact compressor and require minimal wiring. They can be mounted in an engine bay or under the chassis, with the horn positioned where it has a clear sound projection. Connecting the wiring to the vehicle’s existing horn switch is usually straightforward.
For larger train horn kits, installation becomes more involved. These kits require mounting a separate air compressor and air tank, which may need custom brackets or drilling to secure them properly. The air tank must be positioned in a dry, accessible location, such as the trunk, truck bed, or undercarriage.
Wiring is another crucial aspect of installation. The system must be connected to the vehicle’s battery, and a relay switch is often needed to handle the power demands of the compressor. A separate horn button may also be installed to give the driver independent control over the train horn.
While DIY installation is possible for those with mechanical skills, professional installation is recommended for complex setups. Proper installation ensures the horn kit functions reliably and safely.
