Fiamm 72102 Freeway Blaster High Note Horn

Original and Genuine

Good sound

Good

So I gave this a 5 stars in the beginning when I bought the low and high note from them, I liked the sound, today after having them for 5 months my car caught on fire and I almost lost the car and myself in it, there was a circuit short coming from the horn cables. Horrible experience and i hope that no one goes through it ever.

I had a issue after fitting, it didn't sound good at all. I removed the silicone and turned the screw about a 1/4 turn out and it made a Hugh difference . It now sounds really good and much louder than stock on my BMW R18 motorcycle. I heard and read that sometimes you need to use a relay but not the case in this instance. Recommend especially on price.

Summary: I just finished putting this horn along with its Low Note cousin on my 2008 RAV4. Previous to replacing them, the two stock horns that came on the auto were what you would call pathetically anemic sounding at best - I've beeped (what these stock horns do cannot be described as a honk) at people who have cut me off on the interstate and folks would never even hear it. With these replacement FIAMM 72102 and 72112 in concert with each other, the horn sounds like something you would hear from a well made older car - in other words, it's not a sound that drivers will be able to ignore. They will likely be looking around for a larger car than a RAV4! Installation: I failed to find anything on the internet that described the replacement horn installation process for my car. The 2008 RAV4, out of the factory, has two anemic horns powered by a single ten amp circuit. I'm assuming this fuse will provide enough juice to power the new horns. (if not, I suppose I will blow a fuse and I'll put in a larger fuse) As a result the relay and relay socket housing I purchased are not required...it's a simple remove and replace operation. To replace the horns I started by: 1) In order to gain access to the horns, start by removing the plastic panel that covers the radiator/grill, this is a very simple operation thanks to the push pin style plugs that hold it in place. Simply push the center of these plugs in and they will pull right out. There's about nine of these, so be sure to get them all and the panel will lift off easily after slipping it under the hood release pin. 2) There is a single bolt on each horn holding them in place. It's tricky to remove the bolts because the head of the bolt faces the grill and it is not visible through the opening, but with a small (12mm I believe) socket and ratchet, loosening of the bolt can be done by feel. The only way to avoid this would be to remove the grill, which I decided not to do, as blindly loosening the bolts took only 1-2 minutes each. 3) Once the bolts are removed it's a simple job to remove the signal wire clipped to the horn by squeezing the clip and pulling it off. The old Toyota stock horns could be saved for children's toys :) 4) The new horns are installed exactly where the old ones were located (make sure to mount them with the horn mouth in a downward orientation as to prevent water from becoming trapped in the horn mouth). After placing the horn signal wire clip on the new horns, and connecting the metal mounting arm provided with the horn - make sure you put the smaller hole in the mounting arm on the horn shaft with the ground wire under the nut and tighten. 5) The bigger hole in the mounting arm is then able to be bolted to the car with the original bolt. Here is where I decided to deviate from the standard Toyota horn mounting method. I rotated the horn assembly 180 degrees around so as to not place it under the housing, but to positioned it nearer the radiator. The reason for doing this is obvious, it allows one to drive the bolt in plain sight. Notice that these bolts should be vigorously tightened, not only to provide good mechanical attachment but also for the purpose of properly grounding the horn. This is assuming you don't choose to run a separate ground wire to the horn. Test the horns at this point in the process. If the horns don't sound loud enough, the ground connection would be the first place I would suspect. 6) Replace the panel and secure it by putting the pins back in. At this point in time, I am one very satisfied customer...I'm hoping that time will prove these horns endure the extremes of Michigan winters and summers without issue. I hope this information will help remove the mystery of installing the horns on your RAV4.

Quality like the original, sounds like the original, the only thing is the connecting plug from my car doesn’t match but I expect that. I change both the high tone and the low tone.
