Default Blobeye horns?

About 5 years ago I fitted a set of Hella Supertones without the relay. I always meant to get round to doing it properly, so had a look tonight.


I remember the earths I ran to the horns, but there seems to be two separate 12v+'s, one to each horn, one coming from the bottom of the aircon radiator and the other coming through from the loom towards the battery. Both seem to be original wiring, not mine. I just can't remember what I did 5 years ago.


For the life of me I can't remember if the car came with twin original horns. 2003 Blobeye STi, of course didn't have multimeter or test bulb to buzz them out.


I'm presuming these are both live feeds to original twin horns. Should I just make up a y piece to join these two together to go to the relay? Presumable each will go live when you press the horn button, just wondering if best to connect both to the relay ??????

Buy, beg, borrow, make or steal a circuit tester, and check it. Only safe way.

The Reason you should use a relay...... a split single feed.
