does any one know how i could convert 12v to 6v.
i bought i car horn not realizing it runs on 6volts not 12 volts.
anyone know how i could convert the car 12v to 6v to power this ?
Cheers

Buy another horn and put the 2 in series, especially if you can get a 2nd one with a different tone/frequency.
or
what current does the horn take?
If about 2 amp's or 12 Watt's (at 6VDC) then put a 21W indicator bulb in series with it.
have a look on here bud

the horns got a small modulator with it, it can play 18 different tones.
Dont really see much point in having a horn that plays 18 different tunes
It would be battery + then bulb.... then horn... then back to the battery -terminal ??
Do the instructions say how much current it takes or what size is the fuse on/in it??
It is also important to know is it requires a perminent Live supply as well.
Perhaps a link to a website??

The bulb will work until it blows and then no horn, yes you know to replace it but a simpler solution would be if you brought 2 resistors from Maplins at 2 kilo ohms each it will give a current flow of approx 3 amps and simply tap off from the centre tap and the grounded side. All the electronics can be enclosed in a small plastic enclosure.
nice one guys.
no real instuctions or power readings just say 6v power supply thats all.
its got a perminant +power supply and negative, then a blue wire which it says connect to the horn button on the steering..... ( im guessing that is also a + terminal ?? )
