Yup that looks like the plug for the horn, and in the picture I only see one 1 horn.

Pretty sure it's not possible to just steal the horn lol. The hood would have to be popped up and that's such a random thing to take. Anyways maybe the previous owner?

Get em ! Be sure to buy the harness for them though. I opted out and it took me a few long hours to build my own... should have just bought a premade harness.

Making the harness isn't that bad. All you need a 4 prong relay, 10-15 amp fuse block, wires, wire connectors, and a soldering iron. Took me 30 mins, and most of it was running all the wires through braided sleeve and heat shrink with a lighter on a windy day.

If you google hella horn relay and click images you'll see which pin goes where (one ground, one to the stock horn wire, one the the fuse block that goes to the battery, and one to the hella horns.)

The just did hella supertone install and they are awesome.

Did you buy the car used? Maybe a precious owner removed one.

BTW, the two horns when played together make a certain frequency (Hz). Each horn makes a different pitch. Perhaps the previous owner liked the sound of just that one lower-toned horn? IDK, just a guess. Hard to believe someone would actually steal a horn! LOL!

I might not get new horns, the weight reduction probably adds 5+ HP!
