The stock horn on the Kappas, as most realize, is fairly weak, so I decided to install the Fiaam Dual horn set.
The parts needed:
Mine are actually Wolo, but they are made by, and identical to, Fiaams:
The stock horn:
Easy to remove with a 10mm wrench and one bolt:
Once loose you can access the plug, and strip back the wire cover to expose the wires:
I used a Posi-tap to avoid cutting the stock wires if I wanted to reinstall it later.
Then remove the cap on the other end to expose the lug:
Now, create a wiring harness to connect the two sides:
Put a connector on the end of a 6” piece of 12ga wire, and strip back the other end.
Now, strip back a length of wire about 3 feet long, more if you want to route it more carefully than I did. Add another connector to one end, and strip back the other. Take the two stripped ends and add a couple inches of shrink wrap on them, the feed them through the end of the Posi-tap. Then slide the shrink-wrap over the end of the Posi-tap and shrink it.
It should look like this when you are done:
Now attach it to the Posi-tap and route the long wire to the driver’s side.
While you are there remove the nut similar to the one on the passenger side;
Now you need to make the brackets; First put bolts and nuts, supplied, on both ends of a bracket that you have layers two pieces to.
Snug them down, and place one end in a vice like this:
The point of the two bolts is to ensure your bends are even, and the two parts bend together properly.
Flip the bracket in the vice and bend the other side the opposite direction:
It should look like this:
Now, bolt in the two lights, angling them so they do not rub or hit on anything. Make sure you install the ground wire under the mounting bolts:
Also, make sure you install the positive wire on each before you bolt them up.
Here are the finished photos:
Driver’s side:
Both installed:
HUGE improvement in loudness and range. I used the stock fuse and a 20 second burst did not blow it. I am confident it will work out fine!
