Default Anybody else's horn sound like a bitch?

I got on it this morning, and mid-way through, it changed pitch to this high, nasal sound. I guess the *bass* horn is funked up.

ANybody else have this happen? Know of a fix?

TIA

Default Griot's has em for $70 - not the cheapest but I need some stuff from them anyway

I'm going to call them in a bit - need to find out how weather-proof they are, since my horns sit right near the bottom of the car, and I have no belly pan.

Default 2 horns, each has a different tone - someone here had the higher pitch one go on them...

and the dealer accidentally replaced it with another low pitch one and the car then sound like an anti-bitch fog horn. I thought it was pretty cool, but they had it swapped back to how it should be.

Default did you find out if it was plug'n'play with the factory wiring?

and can you install them without having to take the bumber off?
