Are they a direct replacement or is additional wiring required?
Is it easy to DIY?

Flex247, try entering “Replacement Horn” or similar in “Search” and take a read of the OLD Posts where you should pick up some details - Dave 😏

Fitted the PIAA Slimline Horns today - thanks all for the advice - you made the install process much easier for me.
Fantastic horns - Highly recommended.

The J11B has better horns thankfully , otherwise I would have taken my mod setup off my J11 before I sold it on

Just as Buffy has mentioned. We planned on our Work List removing our Horns from our J11A and re-fitting on our New J11B, but no need for the trouble as the new Horns are definitely Louder ! - Dave 🤨

I want to fit a pair of PIAA Slender horns to our J10 and would like to know how you dealt with fitting two horns in place of the original one. From the parts list it looks as if the original horn has the bracket permanently fitted to it so did you fabricate a new bracket or use one from another vehicle?

The horns I fitted to my J11 came with brackets.

The PIAA horns have brackets attached:
