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 ( [ Ссылка ] ) and SEINECA Automotive ( [ Ссылка ] ) 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 ( [ Ссылка ] ) 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( [ Ссылка ] )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 ( [ Ссылка ] ) and 1/4 inch terminals were larger than my 3rd party adapter. I had to make a F2 to F1 adaptor ( [ Ссылка ] ) , by using a 16 AWG 1/4" Female connector terminal from my terminal assortment kit ( [ Ссылка ] ) and some electrical tape. I typically use Plastidip in a can ( [ Ссылка ] ) 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!
