I don't know. I might have to go all black. I think it would look sick! Probably won't happen though. Or get it all CF wrapped. I was thinking about painting my hella horns same as my car though.

Supplies Needed:
1. Electrical Tape or Shrink Tube
2. Wire strippers
3. 14G Wire
4. 14G Male Connectors
5. 14G Female Connector
6. 20 AMP In-Line Fuse Terminal
7. 20 AMP Fuse
8. Zip Ties
9. Sime Wire Loom (if you want)
10. Small nuts, bolts & washers
11. 14G In-Line Wire Connectors
12. Vampire Clips

Tools Needed:
1. Screwdrivers
2. Wrenches (for small nuts and bolts)
3. 10mm Wrench
4. Wire Strippers
5. Pliers

Yes you need to make a wiring harness!

What to do:

1. Remove the front grill. And figure out how you're going to mount the horns. I used two existing holes in the radiator support that centered both horns between the side of the grill and the Subaru emblem (see pictures).

2. Disconnect one of the factory horns (or both if you desire). Don't cut the connectors, you will need to use one of them later.

3. Look at the relay that came with the horns. The terminals are numbered, this is what those numbers mean:
87 - (+) Lead for the supertones.
86 - Where the stock horn wire conects.
85 - Relay ground wire.
30 - (+) Power wire, connects to the battery with a fuse.

4. Figure out where you want the relay, because that's going to decide on how you run the wires. Once you have that figured out ...

5. Use your 14G wire to make a harness for the #87 to go to the horns. I ran one 14G wire to one horn, then spliced the second horn with a vampire clip. At all three ends, I used 14G female connectors.

6. Take some 14G wire and crimp a 14G male connector on it. Plug this into one of your disconnected factory horn wires. Then put a female connector on the other end and plug it into terminal #86 on the relay.

7. Find a suitable ground and wire up #85 on the relay.

8. Now, you need to ground the horns. I ran the ground to the passenger side ground location (see pics). I also made the exact same kind of wiring harness for the ground wire as I did with the (+) lead from the relay.

9. Last is making the connection to the battery. I used a ring terminal and conencted it right to the battery and ran the wire through the protective cover for a clean look. This is where you need to use a 20A fuse terminal.

10. Install your fuse into the fuse terminal and test your horns.

Keep it low key! Or at least thats what I'd do....maybe. Well I know I will never get these because I hardly use my horn at all.

If you mean the lights. Those are LEDs, they are there to mock the Audi look. Doesn't really flow..It seems a bit out of place.

The bracket is 100% NOT NEEDED imho... There are two holes in the radiator support on both sides of the hood latch.

All you really need is a bolt that will fit thru the hella horn bracket and thru the rad support. Then a nut in the back to hold everything snug.

Thats what I did and its even on both sides of the center badge in the grille. The bracket is what like $25+? Deff not needed if you have the most basic wrenching skills.
