Default moving horns

i saw on another thread people moved their horns so it wouldn't be visible with a new front grille. Was wondering where people moved them too, and if they needed to be rewired.

Thanks

here is how my front looks, i hate that you can see the horns and radiator. I am getting the trufiber hood installed next week and will have them also paint the radiator black.

Call me new, but what are horns? Like the 'honk! honk!' kind?

Yep, in the picture you can see them to the left of the hood latch. There's two of them.

Your front looks awesome. I think i will just paint the radiator black and leave the horns where they're at.

I thought those were fans for cooling purposes. Never really look at them. Just paint everything black , and you'll be all set.

no, I did not.

the only thing that I painted was the support between the radiator brackets that everyone said could be seen once everything was installed.

As you can see I painted yhe supports and realized these 2 big eyesores still sitting infront of the grill, so I moved them next to the headlights. Only has one bolt and you can easily make some kind of bracket to attatch.
