Modded my New Focus today !

[rider007]

Well after feeling very embarressed using the horn on my new LS Focus I decided to go hunting for a new model.I pulled out the standard horn which is very easy to get to ( Under a plastic cover and situated behind the bumper infront of the radiator ) to discover it is called a FIAMM AM80S L . Now the L stands for Low tone. I didn't want to go to the trouble of fitting relays and different connectors to aftermarket horns so I tried hunting for a FIAMM AM80 S H - ( H for High Tone ). I was unable to find anywhere in Aus but found www.ridesafer.com in the US that ship the AM80S 2 pin High tone. When it arrived it was a simple procedure of snipping off an electrical plug on the standard horn attaching supplied snap connectors onto the two bare wires and puting on the new horn. It has exactly the same mounting bolt as the standard horn . Now the new horn sound is definately more "meatier " and I don't feel so ashamed using it. Warning : Be very careful pulling and cutting wires around the bumber area as there is an Airbag sensor close by to the horn . Cut or break that and you could be looking at Big $$$ to fix . P.S Other Mod is some nice new chrome valve caps for the tyres.
