installing new horns.

Purchased pair new horns from Halfords, am I correct in thinking that these horns will be straight swap? ie The existing 2 wires on on each side Z3 (1 power and 1 earth) will just connect to the 2 terminals on the new horns? Only modification will be to remove original plug on car and put spade terminals on each wire as horns have spades. Many thanks for advise.

Yep. "Sounds" like you have it all figured out.

Good Luck

If it does not work you can get this from China.

I could have used one of those today - some plonker stopped before pulling out of his drive, then rolled forward a bit when I was quite near, looking like he was going to come out - cue frantic braking and honking from me - how was I supposed to know whether he was going to carry on coming or not - and I was in the frog, so no anti-lock brakes. One of those would have been brilliant.
