      @ ECS Tuning: As I'm from Germany I have a link for the OEM male connector. For sure they can ship it to the states or maybe you got the equivalent in the states. Tell me If I should you the link.

    I would have ordered this kit but cutting the connector off killed this idea.

      @@RickJohnson you could also simply use taps and add two of your own wires to build that plug. Much better choice than cutting the wire, and completely reversible. Also, one could find the same connection that the horn has, and alter the provided plug instead, requiring no change to the factory horn wire.
