Hey everyone,

How hard would it be to change a standard VY Berlina horn to one of the Calais/Statesman ones that sound more like a air horn... sounds heaps better. My bumper will be off soon when I get my car back and wanna know if its just a straight swap over. Thats if I can manage to get one lol.


Thanks heaps,
Ben.

you wont have to replace your horn. just add the high tone horn. wiring should already be on the opposite side of the car. not sure if im correct, but i think the normal horn is 400hz and the one you want to add to the other side is 500Hz. better find one from a wreckers. Holden charge thru the roof.

Yep, wiring for the second horm will already be there, clipped to the passenger's side front chassis rail, directly behind the bumper.

The Calais uses a second horn with a different tone - can't recall if its the high or low note. Just purchase the horn and mounting bracket from a wrecker and bung it on.
