Default Any way to tell if you have twin horns

Hi just wondered if there was any way to tell if you had the twin horns fitted other than the bumper off ?

Thanks

I have just replaced my single feeble horn with these: Horns

Good and loud now, I had to extend the wires and fit them behind the bumper on the nearside but no biggie, now people jump when I use them

The second horn was deleted as oart of Project Drive from the date and VIN number below. I hope this helps but many cars may well have them retro fitted.

Single horn is "Err . . . . excuse me!", twin horn is "GET OUT OF THE WAY!"

Test it on the public down your local high street:

If they fall about laughing, it's single.

If they dive for cover, you have the correct sound ! (the sound of twins that is)

If it goes 'beep' you have one horn, if it goes 'beep-beep' you have...... well two horns and so on. I knew a guy once who had five horns and it went 'beep,beep,beep,beep,beep'. When it gets above fifty it is very difficult to keep count and determine exactly how many horns they have fitted. They do this to confuse you????? It is not fair and a horn spotters nightmare
