So, in hindsight, was it worth the time and money over buying one? I think so. My wires are routed so you can't really see them or where they go, all the connections are soldered and heat shrinked, the wire can handle more power than whatever they use, the relays may be bigger, etc.

Yay! Now I don't have to draw a diagram.

One thing that's different on mine: My harness are independent of each other so I need two of everything and my inline fuses are right by the fuse box and only have 5A fuses in each of them. By the time a ballast draws 15A to itself, it has already fried itself into oblivion, but then again, mine were designed to be used with the DDM/Apexcone Slim ballasts.

In cjdm-s pic, notice the wires hanging off of the relay in the middle pic. That is the relay plugged into the harness that I-m talking about.


And the airhorns are from the accord ..... better on the tc since so many people crash into them. My horn says GET THE F$%^ OUT OF MY WAY!!! .... but they're actually only about twice as loud as stock.

I have Wolo Long Horns. I'd recommend the 800 series if you are going to get a set. I have the 400 compressor and I'd like them to be louder. The longhorns are better than the cheap ones that they sell in autozone ..... the pitch of the smaller ones is too high for my taste ....... next time, I want the 4 tone train horn!!!

Those were the ones on sale for $39 lol... i may have to pick up a set, the accords horn has always been a wussy one. I want a horn that'll blow the panties off the girls in the crosswalk!

I've seen the smaller Wolo horns in the store ..... I haven't seen the ones that I have ...... and you have to paint them flat black yourself. Krylon Fusion FTW!!!!
