Falcon620 · 06-26-2009, 03:34 PM

quick question... (might seem stupid) does anyone know where I can get the tool to pop out the plugs on the bottom of the front bumper? and what is the tool called? also... Does anyone know where I can get new plastic screws to hold my bumper in secure? When I looked under my car I only had 3 holding it on... now I only have 2 because it was a major pain in the ass popping those things out. Any help would be Greatly appreciated!

Is there a tool? I was just using a flathead screwdriver... GENTLY!

Falcon620 · 06-26-2009, 04:12 PM

if you go to collegehillshonda.com and watch the how to... hes using some kind of tool to pry the plastic screws out. I used a flathead as well but... didnt work to well.

***akai6*** · 06-26-2009, 05:15 PM

i remember the first time removing my bumper.. such a hell

How loud is that horn? Is it obnoxious?

Blitz · 09-04-2009, 04:19 PM

I'm going to assume that this voids your warranty?

joeflyer · 09-04-2009, 11:29 PM

What, your horn warranty?

I installed the Wolo Big Boy horn without removing the bumper cover. Loosened the two covers on the bottom and slipped a 1/4-inch drive ratchet in to remove the bolt. Then used a hardware-store L bracket to mount the horn using the original bolt and welded nut. For the positive power connection, I sanded a typical spade connector to a width that fit the factory connector.

Blitz · 09-07-2009, 07:32 PM

Any warranties. I don't want to do anything to my car that will void anything.

LoAlaSi · 09-14-2009, 01:44 AM

I did this and got the Low side of the accord horn, connector fits if anyone has that question and sorry if it has already been answered, also, the 09's have 2 horns, one on the driver side and one mounted in the same place on the passenger side.

mrhappypantz · 09-14-2009, 01:53 AM

Also if your changing the horn on the passenger side to an accord one it'll push your fog light out so you have to mount it somewhere else.

fynestpi · 09-23-2009, 03:48 AM

do anyone know what years of honda accord horns can fit onto a 07 ex civic? cos i forgot. ima try and get one at this dealership that are parting out accords since it'll be cheaper.

fynestpi · 09-23-2009, 03:55 AM

also is this diy the same for a 07 ex?

Crystalis · 12-06-2009, 01:08 PM

So I purchased the Accord dual low/high tone horn from CollegeHills, and I just realized looking at their site that those horns technically only fit the 08 sedan. I have an 07 sedan. I see a bunch of people on here doing dual horn set-ups. Will I still be able to use these horns on my car or do I need to pick up the single horn?

messiah_tr · 12-24-2009, 12:02 AM

the worst would be having to splice into cables and find suitable location to attach the second horn. or you can make a small bracket out of some scrap metal.

btw, I use something called tack-puller to remove the plastic thingies. If you go to Home Depot and ask them where you can find a tack-puller, they will help you -that's what I did
