Hi guys, I’ve been a forum poster for nearly 20 years on Covetteforum modding my Vettes. Love forums. First post on this forum and first Jeep.

I like to install Cadillac horns on my cars…Cadillacs have a 4 horn system, low F, high A, with low D and high C filling in the midrange for a Dm7 chord. We all know the sound and the 4 horns are LOUD.

Turns out this is a VERY easy mod on the Jeep. The Jeep comes with low F and high A, so all you need to mount is the D and C horns and the grille struts provide a perfect mounting point for 80’s Cadillac horns. The Cadillac brackets work perfectly. Tap into the wire for one of the horns to run the Cadillac horns and you’re good to go.

Do you have the GM part numbers for the horns, or links to where you purchased them?

It’s neat idea, but surely there’s another place to mount them that doesn’t restrict air flow?

can you take a vid? i was planning on air horns but this might be a good stop gap. the oem horn is not fitting to this truck. sounds like a wimpy fiat 500 horn (and likely is).
I think of them as traditional Jeep horns.

Wow. Just checked the prices of those horns on Ebay. Not cheap.

I prefer mine to be a tritone (the devil's interval). Jk

That's exactly what I came here for too!
I actually pretty disappointed to not see a set of Cadillac horns on the hood of the OP's Jeep after that click bait title got me...
