Thanks, Mike---I'll try that when I get home. Only thing I'm not sure about are which terminals on the horns are grounds. They are Hella SuperTone horns and the terminals are not marked. Does it matter which are 12V and which are ground.? Will the 12V or ground terminals be the same on both horns---left side terminals or right side terminals, or one left and one right?
