- How to Upgrade Honda "MEEP" Horns without wire splicing on my Honda Clarity . After honking several times at distracted drivers with the weak Honda MEEP horns, I decided to upgrade my Honda Clarity with louder deeper horns. Hella ( amzn.to/39Oa8pk )

For those who dont want to deal with splicing wires or buying relays. I went with a universal kit and added a Honda Horn audio adaptor. Some horn kits have Honda specific connectors for fast plug and play easy connecting without splicing wires Hella ( amzn.to/39Oa8pk ) and SEINECA Automotive ( amzn.to/35VKcaj ) sells car manufacture specific horns.
The issue with kits with specific car manufacture specific plugs is that they are positioned in the wrong side of the horn, and your car may not have enough wiring harness to connect the plug. This happened with my Honda Clarity as the cable did not reach the horn plug. It needed another 3 inches of length. The SEINECA kit ( amzn.to/35VKcaj ) was also 125+ dB and was very large horns and did not fit the area of the Clarity.
Universal horn kits are more flexible as you can buy an adaptor cable specific for your Honda or other car manufacture. Typical adapter cables are about 3-4 inches in length. The universal horn kit I choose was the Hella Trumpet Hi / Low Horn 113dB - Universal Kit. They had Honda specific connectors but I got the universal fit.
I also ordered a Honda Civic horn adaptor( amzn.to/3bPK5Rl )with 2 prongs to match my Honda Clarity. Some other model Honda have single prong as they ground from the mounting bolt to the metal of the car.
The only issue of my Hella Trumpet horns ( amzn.to/39Oa8pk ) and 1/4 inch terminals were larger than my 3rd party adapter. I had to make a F2 to F1 adaptor ( amzn.to/35TqYSV ) , by using a 16 AWG 1/4" Female connector terminal from my terminal assortment kit ( amzn.to/3sCCewq ) and some electrical tape. I typically use Plastidip in a can ( amzn.to/39ImUpu ) to insulate my electrical terminals but the can dried out.
You will need a a flat head screwdriver for the plastic clips that cover the paneling, 12 MM socket for the mounting bolt, and a 10 mm socket wrench for adjusting the angle of the horn mount.
To remove the Honda Clarity front cover you need to remove the 3 plastic clips, the pull the cover from the side edges straight up out of the fender clips, replace the original horns, disconnect the plugs , and replace with the new plugs and horns, then test it out. There should be no need for any other wiring. After installing and testing, replace all the clips and covers. Remember that the 4 clips have need to be repositioned on to the cover.
Enjoy your new louder horns!

Great video! Way better than my Clarity videos haha thanks for posting this
Thanks for the video brother! Got this video from our clarity group. My Amazon delivery is today. May install later today.
I wanna get a semi truck horn for my 2nd gen CRV
What would you do if your car only has one horn attachment? For example, there's only a high tone pad; not a high and low. Thanks!
Can you do that for a 2018 accord
So what do the new horns sound like?????
More of a honk + meep
Does orientation of the horn matter? Can you install the horn with the horn outlet facing the front of the vehicle? Or would the horn be in danger of getting water into it through it's outlet?
Yes, there is a drainage hole on one end.
Wish I've seen thr comment earlier..already installed the piaa brandnl horns on my civic. Will have yo check again for the drain holes.
I have a 2019 Insight. Can I do this modification for that car the same way you did it? Also, does this void the warranty in any way?
You take a risk when doing "anything" to your own car. Do at your own risk. If you're afraid of voiding your warranty, don't do it. .. or wait till your warranty period ends.
Which year? I got 2004 lx civic? Will that be a same position?
I hate my civics horn so much that I bought one on Amazon. I hate feeling like I have to apologize every time I beat that idiots who cut me off.
I absolutely HATE those stupid ass plastic clips that they use on cars these days... I'm pretty sure that they are designed to break so that you have to replace them and since they are not generic items that you can find at the hardware store, you'll be paying a lot more than if they had just used bolts instead.
Dude, finish your words.
