Hella Supertones install (EASY)

So after scouring youtube and Google for a simple how to on installing Hella Supertones on the Evo X I came up with nothing. I absolutely HATE wiring and the like with a passion and came up with a simple solution without using the supplied relay that Hella provides, as well as only using approximately 12 inches of wire total. Zero splicing and I didn't have to run wires to the battery or the positive connection point by the engine. I did however have to trim the plastic piece that sits over the upper intercooler pipe a bit with where I mounted them but as the description in the video of what I've done to simplify this install, I'd rather trim the plastic piece than mess around with a bunch of wire. Here's the link to the YouTube video I've uploaded.

And this is the trimmed portion on the left side.

I've been running mine for a year on the stock relay/fuse/circuit. I've used the horn plenty but haven't done any minute long blasts. The genuine Hella Supertones are rated 12A and the factory fuse is 15A so unless you have a bad ground or knock-off horns you should be fine.
