2002, V70 Horn wiring

Post by Mr. Detail »

Okay, I need an electrical wiring SME (Subject Material Expert) here for this question.
I have had a pair of extra loud PIAA horns sitting in my garage for I don't know how long and really want to install them.
I took a couple of photos today while under the car and changing my oil. The original Volvo horn has a plug on it with that plastic protective stuff around the outside while my new PIAA horn has two separate contact points. Any idea how I can re-wire this so my old, existing wiring will work on the new horns? I am bad with wiring stuff. (See attachments of both horns)

its not as if the engine blows up if you get them reversed, try it and find out.
It should work both ways because the connector tabs on the new horn are not 'keyed'.
Worst case is you pop the fuse.
