there are some in the appearance department, part#'s for the adapters and whatnot. there were some in here. I did it and made the horn work. so I know you can make it happen. the adapter I used was for a GM car up to 92 and the cheapest grant the part store had that day. it lost about 6or so lbs off the wheel.
