When it comes to using the horn in anger... if people see an angry poorly groomed individual going mad in the car, they generally get the idea...

Though I must agree, the Fez horn is very girly. I'd assume it would be possible to find a wrecked vehicle with a more appropriate sounding horn and fit that to the Fez.

Very Clever man ;)

The Fiesta as standard somes with the Fiamm "High" Tone Horn (Which is also standard on Falcon XT, and Futura. And is pretty much the same horn ford has used on its bog model falcons for years and years.

To Give it the Dual note tone (A la XR6, FPV, Fairmont, and BMW Mercedes), all you have to do is buy the "Low" Tone Fiamm horn from Ford and hook them up in sequence.

I should know, Because I've done it on my Fez...

Always a step ahead of me Danny!!

I think the High/Low combination may be what they have on the LR Focus. Not sure if it's FIAMM, but certainly dual electric.

I once had dual FIAMM air horns on a FIAT 124 sport. Very aggressive. Very Italian

I know this thread is way old, but here goes.

Can anyone tell me if i can just buy a new air horn (say like this one - dual tone):



and wire that up, replacing the small electric one?
Other alternative is to do what others have done (ie. add a lower tone)

any help would be awesome, cheers
