THE HORN ON our VIBE's? I know it's a toyota powertrain and everything but come on that horn wouldn't scare a chipmunk. I defently need to "upgrade" that!The other thing I am unsure of but I think I have figured out is why does our cars have TWO trip odom. readouts? One for the trip to and one for the trip home? If someone has any other insites please enlighten me.One last thing, the angle of the headlights are a bit too low. Where is the adjustment on the back of the lense to fix that problem? Is it covered up by something else or readly avaiable?I think thats it for now. LOL

god i hate my horn too...try going lke 80mph+ and see if you can hear the damn thing...i barely could 2 trips so incase your calculating a tank and multiple tanks or trips. good idea imo. yea my headlights are angled low too, theres adjuster thingy's righ behind them except on the driver side you have to remove the battery i think

i use the two trip odometers to track MPG and one to track how long in between oil changes

Many cars have two trip odometers these days... Like what was mentioned above, I used one of them for oil changes and used the other for fill-ups... Pretty handy. There's also the option of resetting one at the beginning of your trip and still using the second for fuel, so that way you can keep tabs on total distance driven for the trip...northvibe, you have to disconnect the battery to adjust the headlights? That's kinda (removed) if that is the case... The procedure for headlight aim generally requires one to have them both on while you make the adjustments....

It's been along time since I've seen a current model vehicle without two trips (unless it was ultra-low-end.)As many others do, one for tank mileage, one for oil changes. On long trips also, one for tank mileage, one for total trip miles.

I hated the horn right on the test drive. Within two days I went to a junk yard a got a big Chevrolet dual note horn and mounted them behind the lower grill. I was glad I had them, too in a road rage incident just last week. I had to lay on that horn for a Nissan Moreno till they got scared and outran my little 1.8 liter.

I also use one trip odometer for gas mileage and one for oil changes.

how hard were they to install? Did you have to make a bracket for them to sit side by side under your grill?I like the idea of using the second trip meter for the oil change info. Thanks everyone.

All you have to do is drill one hole and wire them up. One horn uses the stock hole, the other your new one.

I'm not fond of the 'Hella red' color they come in. But I would like to install them soon...
