Hi all, new guy here. I recently purchased a certified pre-owned F56 Cooper Hardtop from the dealer. The former owner traded up, volume-wise, as his/her family increased in size. Overall, I’m quite happy with my purchase, although, as a large mammal whose own girth has increased with the passing years, perhaps a Clubman would have better served my needs.😬 That being said, I come from a long line of small hatchbacks: (‘77 Civic 1200, ‘82 Accord DX, ‘91 Civic DX, ‘94 Integra LX, ‘91 Escort GT, ‘86 CRX HF), so small is OK with me!

On to my query. Today was largely spent installing a trailer hitch (plus wiring) in my wife’s ‘16 Mazda 3 hatch. I also installed a set of Hella SharpTones as the stock horn SUCKS. When I sold the previous ride (‘04 Mazda 3 hatch), I salvaged the old set of SharpTones which I’d like to reinstall in my F56. That being said, I’ve not been able to find good videos or forum chats regarding the location /access for the horns in the F56. Any assistance you can lend will be much appreciated. How much of the front end do I need to pull? Can I access the horns/wiring if I pull the headlights? Do I need to utilize the Hella relay or does the F56 already have one?

Please help a fella out. I could use a break after today!!

 

This and this should help. The wiring diagram is here.

 

Thanks! So I DO need to pull the bumper. Darn.
