(a friend recommends using a relay to isolate the stock horn switch; he says the current drawn by the after market horns will fry the stock switch.) reply to me or the net, and i'll be glad to summarize for those requesting a summary. tia. tom love computer consoles inc - office systems group reston, va {seismo | allegra | ihnp4} !rlgvax!toml
