Default Removing a Cadillac Horn

I'm going to pull a horn off of an 82 Cadillac Biarritz (I think) and put it in my Honda because I heard that all Cadillacs have nice-sounding horns. I have to go to the junkyard later today, and I won't have much time there at all so it would really help if someone could explain the process or show me where to find instructions.

Help for taking out a horn may sound stupid, but from what I remember they were tucked away pretty good inside the fender and too hard to get to without taking other stuff off. It looked like there were two horns attached to the fender next to the driver's side corner light. Can anyone help me out?

Ha, yeah. I went the the junkyard again and just started taking it all apart. Even though the horns were hard to get at, the bolts for them were right there on the inside of the fender. So really it's very easy, in case anyone else needs to know.

I started a thread a while ago about putting in a different horn and keebler65 said "its usually just one wire, since when you bolt it to the body it gets its ground automatically. so just splice one wire and you're on your way."

This is the thread: https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=441245
