vibration and light bulbs

[Bashgod]

so i have a semi horn (grover dual tone, very very loud) mounted right behind my pass. side head light, pointing right at it about 5-6 inches away. would you think the sound from the horn will blow out the bulb? i havent used it in this setup before but i was just curious. i still need to mount my air tank so i dont know when i can see if i need to replace the bulb after i thank someone for cutting me off or remind them to stay in only one lane at a time.

I would like to hear what it sounds like. I wanted to get a loud horn, i still do!

If you blow the horn a few times a day, it may cause the headlight bulb to shake out of its place, and eventually burn, otherwise bulbs die.

I wouldnt think it would blow the bulb. Im sure it goes through more vibrations driving offroad than a horn would put it through. You never know though, that resonance stuff can get tricky.

Try it and let us know.

ill try it and see what happens. a mechanic friend of mine brought it up so i was wondering... i need to mount an air tank and do the wiring first though.

That sounds great. I love that rope that guy did in his cab.
