Sounds good! All my trucks have had two horns, hi and low note. Since yours is like the LS model they may have skimped out on that. I used a relay and signal wire from the factory horn and added the early 90's style buick, cadillac train horns; 6 horns total. I tucked then away nicely, but two are down low facing down. It has been 7 years now driven through the monsoon rains in Phoenix and Albuquerque as well as flooded roads, and they still work. I guess as long as the water flows straight out it does not hurt them.
jewllake Ya I was surprised to see just the one horn. I really want a 90's Ferrari horn setup for my 350Z but they're huge and expensive. I might have to experiment and put 4 Hella horns in.
They all have 2 horns for 99-06 (and 07 classic). For 99-02 it is behind the drivers headlight, and passenger side it is behind the bumper under the blinker but easily accessible. For 03-06 they are a bit more cramped and harder to get to but in the same locations.
You stand corrected. I believe all 99'-2007 classic Silverados have two horns with the exception that the base LS pick-ups have one single note horn. But the same applies to the GMT800 SUVS. All of those have two horns in the exact same location.
Sound awesome When I was kid my dad had the electrical guy to install this fiam horns on all the vehicles he owned with the years, but I don't remember what can of capacitors or relays he use to increase the volume but was really loud just remember was.like 4 or 5 metal boxes with a bunch of wires connecting each other and that makes the horn really loud, I'm going to try the same way you did yours sounds really melodic. Thanks
All the Gm trucks I've owned from my 1975 Jimmy right on up to my 2009 Tahoe have always had 2 factory horns, a high tone and low tone. I think it's standard
@@AnthonyJ350 I just replaced the horn in my Tahoe, it's a $#!+ job. Gotta remove the headlight assembly and in order to do that you pretty much have to losen all the bolts holding the bumber on and some bolts in the wheel well. I can't even replace a headlight or turn signal bulb without the same procedure. Your horn sounds good man!
Hi Anthony, please list the two models you used. I want to upgrade mine like yours. I am not sure what to add. I want LOUD!! PIAA, HELLA or FIAMM, WOLO, or all four brands. You have an excellent set up! No tank to rust, No hoses to fail, No air solenoids to fail, No compressor to go bad. Your set up is definitely cost effective. The most I can see needing to add is a huge relay like in emergency services vehicles. I know I have a 75 AMP & a 150 AMP 12V continuous duty relays that I used on ham radios. I could trigger the relay with the factory OEM relay out wire.
This guy must be one hell of a road rager I mean I'm a trucker and I run an air powered train horn in my freightliner classic XL which i only hit when a kid pumps his arm lol!
I also thought GM put ONE horn in my 04 Tahoe, since that is the one I could get to from below behind the front right turn signal housing and that was what I was hearing: One horn. Turns out there's another one behind the front left turn signal housing, but you can't get to it from below because it is covered by the windshield washer reservoir and it's bracket from below/behind, which in turn is under the battery and and battery deck. You can see it if you take out the left headlight housing and the turn signal housing. ua-cam.com/video/RP1ZcdDAWME/v-deo.html
My 03 Silverado came with 2 horns but the pass side is not working. I purchased some FIAMM high and low horns but I just realized my connector for the horn has two wires from it. Do I just combine these two? OR is one wire the ground and one wire the power?
@@AnthonyJ350 Thanks! The install went a lot easier than I thought. I usually try to stray away from electrical stuff. I purchased the FIAMM freeway blasters high and low horn to add to my stock oem driver side horn. Green wire was power. Sounds great again! No more of that wimpy horn note.
@@AnthonyJ350 - I used 2 male bullet connectors in the factory connector on the passenger side since that horn was dead. Mounted both horns on the passenger side brace since my battery was on the driver side in front of the fuse panel.
The horn on my 2002 Tahoe sucks, what you showed here sounds so much better. I use the horn pretty often while I drive to keep idiots for hitting your car.
I have an 09 corolla. After looking death in the eyes a few times via bad drivers, I want a horn setup that isn't just MEEEP in D key. I'm thinking either gather 6 horns from various cars(bonus points if in different keys) at the salvage yard and relay them to the battery, or do the same thing just with 5 more corolla horns, which can also easily be found at the salvage yard. I'd like your opinion on this. How stupid of an idea is this? I want the messiest sounding horn
@@AnthonyJ350 same as you. Only corolla!.. the goal is for 6 different notes though. Or 6 of all the same note. I might make two brackets interchangeable. The thought of a very loud corolla is just about as scary as a very loud mystery compact. Your setup sounds very effective btw
Hey buddy I know the video is about the horns which but the way sounds great but I noticed the bull bar and I like it, can u tell me where did u get it from? Thanks
Plz brother plz help me I have a problem with my car Nissan sunny ex saloon 2004 1.8 that the horn wires got ripped of can u tell me how to fix it.plz reply
The horn on the driver side of my truck is located higher up behind the clearance light panel. I simply remove the pins of the headlamp unit then unsnap the clearance light unit so I can see it. Barely can reach a hand in with a 10mm wrench to loosen the bolt holding it. The horn on the passenger side it found by simply looking up from under the truck just behind the right light units. Beats me why they make such a pain in the ass set up.
This isn't a 1997 Camaro that heavily relies on the air dam and air flow from underneath to cool. Look at the air dam GM puts on these trucks. They want less air underneath to improve highway mileage.
Im just saying all that extra stuff you did was unnecessary if it was required it would say so in the instructions that came with the horn. Its way easier installing them the way the manufacturer specifies in the instructions you just made this over complicated for people that dont know how to work on cars and its just overkill😂😂
@@Ivangarcialbc It's not complicated, just adding in a relay. It is however very effective and reliable. That's why people pay me professionally to work on their vehicles.
Sure... i bet you charge extra for all that stuff that doesnt need to be done. Its highly effective out of the box no need for you to add a twist to it. Working on cars is easier than most people think. Its up to yourself to make it complicated. Just like your video shows.
People in person will tell you different. Tone is subject, but how loud it is what matters. You can't expect your computer speakers or phone to replicate the volume and intensity of a horn.
Ya but at the same token GM makes the best gas V8 and their trucks seem to have the least issues. I don't see too many trucks from 2005 from Dodge or Ford in my area but the GMs from 2000 keep going. ua-cam.com/video/30NRW3dhkck/v-deo.html
@@fubartotale3389 Why? They're simple and they put money to where it mattered. That generation of truck was designed to be worked on. Quick example, look at the headlight removal procedure on a 2005 Silverado vs any new truck.
The horn for other people that don't know how to drive and you can not brake in time or maneuver or they're just not paying attention and you need to get their attention. Give yourself the best chance (legally) to get their attention to avoid an accident.
Because I've driven without it working and when you need to use it to help avoid an accident and it doesn't work things can go bad. Imagine someone backing out of a driveway and doesn't see you, or a kid playing in the street not paying attention. The horn is a valuable safety device that people take for granted.
AnthonyJ350 I found it. Other side was aftermarket garbage burnt compressor. Wiring seemed messed up not getting proper current out of it after a hour of knuckle busting . Ended up putting single freeway blaster mono tone horn in. Thanks for the reply.
Great video. Good information without droning on too much, and covered the 12V specifics. Easy install for the common man - not so much.

GM put 4 note horns in A lot of older Cadillacs and Buicks. They are in sync with each other, and they kinda sound like a train horn.
That explains why those old GM cars sound so beefy.
It sounds like four silverados are honking at the same time
Haha ya. I like it. It's decently loud when you're beside the truck.
@AnthonyJ350 where did you bought the red horns!? my oem stock horn they sound like clown car too i wanna do the same mod to my silverado...
Imagine driving behind a drunk driver he is gonna say damn there's 4 Silverados behind me
Sound awesome

I have 2 horns but when I honk it only one works sometimes the 2 why is that why both not working all the time ????
Check the grounds at the horn. Typically the horns are grounded near the horn and the connections tend to corrode.
What’s the model of high and low notes horns? Can you put a link in the description? I only saw “74100” on both packages
That's the part number
What kind of push bar is that ???

I know this is an old video but what are the horns you used called, and how many with the stock horn?
They're FIAMM horns. I installed two pairs. So 4 additional horns on top of stock.

My 99 Silverado has 2 horns. Driver side is dead, right side sounds like the stock one in this video. I cannot believe your truck had only one horn.
