Default Horn Question

Under my hood I see two horns, I just bought a new replacement one from O'Reillys but I'm not sure how to take off the sensors (at least I think they're sensors, maybe just electrical wiring to sound the horns) without tearing them up. Does anyone know how I can take off the sensors and put them on my new horn? And do I need two replacement horns or can I just roll with one and a one loose sensor?

I just got a cheap 15 dollar horn which tells me to strip the stock connector wires and make em females then plug it in and go. Its temporary. But I'm not sure if just pulling them off will mess them up, or even in they will connect onto the prongs on the new horn. In the morning I'll try a screwdriver, it looked like that might work but I wanted to find out first.

yeah, they are just spade plugs, slide off, and slide on the new horn... Pretty straight forward.. what kind of horn did you get? Here's what I'm going to put on mine when I get it back:

That thing looks pretty badass. Hah, but sadly mine is like a fidalli or something. My old ones just got completely mud filled and I wanted a little meaner sound anyway. So do I just plug in one wire from each of my stock horns into the new one? I do have two prongs on it

lol I bought a 20 dollar air horn Its looks cool even has its own compressor but sounds like crap Horns are one thing u cant cheap out on unless u want no one to hear them or unless u wanna sound like a fool, I sound like a fool atm, Im just to cheap to fork out 160bucks for stock replacement so I am saving up for a train horn which will run me about 800 lol Gonna be a long time before I have that kinda money to spend on a horn lol
