Im looking at fitting these to my 240 i was advised that they just bolt in place of existing horns as yhey have built in compressor.however a lot of people on the net suggest they need relays etc has anyone fitted these to their volvo especially the older 200/700/900 and how did they fit them?

Cheers

I fitted one to my 960 without using a Relay.Fitted behind the front gill,i had to make a bracket up to fit it on.Works ok.

Cheers, Did you just use the existing horn wiring a sort of plug and play?

Yes i did 240.Still going strong after i year.Make shure you point the horn donwards so moisture does not accumulate in it.

How did you wire that up to work from original horn button? Sounds great.

It involved Mike off the forum drawing a much simpler diagram for me to follow. Basically it involved a relay, a compressor, and splicing into the horn live thats under the bumper.

My plan was to use a strip of steel mounted accross the headlight plates infront of the radiator, and drill holes to mount the horns there but im selling it now so im not bothering haha.
