Any one knows if it's possible to use these horns (500Hz+600Hz) with stock wiring, relay, and fuse in Honda CR-V 2012?

I installed those horns on my Kawasaki 750 Vulcan without any changes to the wiring and they work great!

Yes, I replaced the stock horn in my 1998 Civic (drivers could not hear my puny OEM-horn on highways). The horn works GREAT, and I am easily heard on highways now.

My initial reaction is yes you can. Especially if you are replacing the factory units. I would give it a try, the worse that would happen is blowing the fuse.

I'M Pretty sure you can.i used the stock wiring when i connected it to my motorcycle

I'm not sure what you are looking at, but I would simply parallel the new horn with the old one. Then unplug the old one. You would be using the factory relay to make the horn work.

Probably. But, I strongly advise against it. They draw a pretty good load each. A stock m/c horn switch may not be able to handle it and those are $$$ to replace. My advice is to use the two OEM horn leads to fire a relay that carries power directly from the battery to the horns (through a fuse, of course). That way, the horn switch only has to run the relay (very, very small load) and the relay's robust contacts fire the horns. Use a common fog lamp relay with numbered connections and there are two (+) outlet connections #87. Plug the horn + into them 1 to 1 and then ground the horns to a common (-) lead back to the battery. I have used this setup on many motorcycles. In short: run a (+) through a fuse to the input on the relay(#30). Connect the + and - leads from the original horn to the switch terminals #85 & #86 on the relay. Then connect the + from each horn to the two output terminals on the relay #87. Next, connect the - horn terminals to a common ground wire back to the (-) battery terminal. Hope this helps!

I did this awhile ago, but if I remember correctly you get the horn(s) and some wire, but no hardware. I used existing screws/bolts in my car frame to mount the horn(s) and spliced in the wires with my existing horn wiring.

Mine is on my Harley, fastened it to original horn mount. At 1st there was hardly any sound out of it, so I added a horn relay (5.99 from Autozone) which puts 12v from battery right to horn, you still use MC horn button to activate. Now its blasts loud!

If you are replacing an existing horn, you might need some need some addition wire http://www.amazon.com/Dorman-85739-Orange-Gauge-Primary/dp/B002H9BHUE/ref=sr_1_1?s=automotive&ie=UTF8&qid=1397824755&sr=1-1&keywords=auto+wire and some crimps such as: http://www.amazon.com/Neiko-Solderless-Terminal-Connection-Stripper/dp/B000K7GRCI/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1397824730&sr=8-2&keywords=auto+crimp

The horns themselves are, yes, though you will want to weatherproof the connectors somehow. I have them mounted on a motorcycle, right up front by the headlights, and have never had an issue with them even after riding in the rain. It's also worth noting that to run these correctly, you're going to want to use the supplied relay. Wired up according to the diagram, there is no voltage at the terminals until you press the horn button and energize the relay.

There is no in-line fuse or any wires included with the horn. It had been a little while since I installed the horn, but I believe the horn draws 5 amps

Not necessarily. Mine would not fit where the original horn was placed by Kawasaki(in front, under the fork), so it had to be mounted sideways, in a way where the fork would not hit it when taking turns. If I could have placed it in the original manufacture's spot, there wouldn't have been other cables included. In my situation, there was some wiring to be done(cheap standard cables, nothing fancy). You should first look what mounting space you have. You should also consider the horn's weight - it's much heavier than the standard one, so whatever holds it, has to be sturdy.

Hi L, it is a two piece horn. One horn has a 500hz tone; the second horn has a 600hz tone. No relay is used or needed. Very easy install.

To test whats not working properly, check polarity and connect straight to battery to test horn on its own, have heard of problems but have had none myself. Must run off of the relay provided and I made a direct connection to battery for the horn from the relay, the other side of the relay to the old horn wires. Did your old horn work?

Really easy to install. I used the standard horn wiring and simply upgraded the factory fuse from 5A to 15A. Works well!

I comprtely bypassed the factory system. I installed horn button on dash,one wire to ground and the other on new horn relay. I also bought a new horn. Some installation was required for the new rely and horn, and worked well.

do NOT wire direct from the alarm - run the horn wires from the alarm to a relay and then run power from a permanently powered 12v circuit on the car9like the one that is powering the alarm, through a 10a fuse to the relay main input and then out to the horn +, and then run a wire from the horn - to the screw where you mount the horn to the vehicle (assuming it is negative ground like virtually all post 1950 cars)

This horn can be connected with your original factory horn wires. Installation instructions are included. Thank you.

I don't know. I have 2 bikes and 2 horns. Both work just fine. Go over the instruction again. They have live support, so call them. I did and they helped me get thru the install. Good luck.

Yes, this is what I did with my 2017 Nissan LEAF. The horns have a + & - Terminal (does not matter what connector pin you use for +) If your car only has one lead to the horn, put that to one to one connector, and make a short pigtail that you connect to your car's chassis or ground. That is it. Each horn is mechanically tuned to different notes, and together they will get everyone's attention when sounded.
