    I am fitting air horns and I am unable to locate the orriginal horn. I though tit was mounted up the back on the right hand side but I was mistaken. Any ideas people?

    I have no idea where it is on mine. Haven't looked to be honest. Get someone else to beep the horn and you can search around the engine bay. If you're by yourself, open the bonnet and set the alarm off. I remember in my VH it was by the radiator, near the headlights.

    It's ok. I found it. For anybody else who wants to know it's up the front left under the bumper. If you reach your arm around the back of the front bumper you will feel it. There is a + and - cable hooked up to it. I installed some air horns which sound a lot beefier than the pissy Barina horn they put in the commodore. I mean I got a V8 with a Barina horn.. WTF.. As par usuall of Holden the beefy horn is an 'optional upgrade'. Don't you just love em. BMW get nice horns. Why can't the Commodores?

    The stock horns are sooo gay....my dad used to pay me out all the time about it.
    I ripped mine out and put some old toyota landcruiser horns in it. It doesn't sound like anything special, but i would rather listen to the deep BAAARB BAAARB!!!! instead pf the meep meep!!!!! I would like to put a big dirty truck horn in it just for laughs!!!

    Right, and when a Commodore costs as much as a BMW, we'll all scream bloody murder eh?

    The Calais horns aren't expensive to buy over the counter, all the wiring and holes are there, you just gotta bolt 'em in and connect the wires. They sound about the same as the horns in a 528i.

    I feel the same way about the horn that holden (hsv) have i thought when i got my Clubsport that HSV may have upgraded the horns ,her i am driving around town in this mighty big and powerfull V8 that growls when kicked in the guts , I see a mate on the side of the road so i push on the horn to say hi ,I felt like a fag when out from under the hood came this little beep !. so now i have a set of 140db air horns .

    hehe, commodores will never cost as much as a bmw, we remove too many safety features to keep the price down:P

    and as for the horn, pff, my button has been stuffed for ages and it doesn't work 99% of the time. Really should get around to fixing it.

    If air horns are illigal, why do they sell 2 and 3 horn packs with air compressor for 40 bucks at Super cheap and Target? Of course they aren't illigal. Get's those bike riders attention.
