Any special installations needed to install PIAA?
Had the same problem with my '12. Thought I could just loosen the screw on back and move the bracket around. That didn't really work though because the best position I found stretched the lead and had the horn pointing up. I ended up making a bracket out of aluminum that dropped the accord horn down and to the right (from the front of the car). Took the tension off the lead and got the horn pointed down. Took about an hour.
The bad news is that while the Accord horn (low) is much better than stock, it's still not all that great. I will be putting in PIAA horns (500hz and 600hz) once they get here. Also, since I'm not a fan of modifying the wiring harness, I cut the connector off the stock horn an soldered a lead to it. Now I can connect into the stock harness without cutting it. The end of the lead will go into the relay which will be wired as normal

any help on how to install a PIAA horn and info on alterations that need to be made would be super helpful.
