Had another person pull in front of my today, fed up, so I went down and got the $18 pair of air horns down at Harbor Freight...

After searching I know a couple people have them mounted on their 914's (Howard, and Dr. Evil I believe, maybe some others?)

Anyways, how am I supposed to wire this baby up? It's got the relay thing.

Here's the thing though, I want to retain my STOCK horn and have a switch near the dash or on my center console so I can choose either the air horns or the stock horn. Possible? I know I've seen it done before.

I'm not too good at wiring, so here's a copy of the wiring instructions for the air horn, the big thing near the top is the compressor.

Any help?

Thought it would be that but
wasn't sure if the relays were different or not.


so for the switch I'd just wire it up so that I change where the 12v lead goes? position 1- lead goes to stock horn, pos. 2- lead goes to air horn compressor. Like that?
