These are a two (+ & -) contact type horn (the factory horns have only one contact.) One of the contacts goes directly to the mounting point as a ground. It doesn't matter which one you choose to ground. There are wires crimped with all that you will need.
Remove these clips on top (pointing finger) and on bottom (no good pic). They look exactly alike top & bottom. There are also two screws (one on each side) near the rear of the bumper (pics later). Don't remove the clips under the hood above the grill (unless you want to remove the grill ONLY).
The screws on each side are near here on each side (passenger side shown). I pulled extra clips out to peel back my fender liners. It made things a bit easier.
Once you have all of the clips/screws (four on top six I think on the bottom + 2 screws) out, you'll be able to YANK the bumper off. You really do have to give it a good pull to the side & toward the front of the car. Pop out the bumper marker lights before you yank it out see next pic.

See this, pull the light housing out from the wide side (toward the back) and slide it out. It may require you to "flex" the cut out for the light housing. Disconnect the wire from the housing once it's free.

This is the bumper without the light. Note the "wide" side. Pull this out first. Use your fingers.
Look at this black thing with the two screws. This is the part that grabs the bumper right below the fender. This is what you're trying to "free" the bumper from. The bumper will fall to the floor if you're solo. So spread out a sheet or something. BTW these are on each side. You will have to YANK each side.
The is where the previous pic "holds" the bumper. Note one of two screw holes on the left/toward the back.
Take the factory horns off. Unscrew them from the straight bracket mount. Leave the straight bracket mount on the frame of the car. You will use them for the new horns. Cut the wire going to them like so. Just in case you want to reinstall them when you trade in the car in three years.
See that duct tape. The nipples on the foam frame cover broke off when my bumper fell to the ground. I had to do this in order for it to stay while I installed the bumper. Two people will prevent this from happening.
Any questions?
Top view. See the straight bracket in this pic?
Let em have it with this loud mutha. Put everything back together.
