Default Horn replacement question.

So I have no horns. yep, none. all I see is a wire on the left and a wire on the right, both appear to be green. There is a another one that has a green and a white wire in a black sleeve. What wires do I need to hook up these new horns? Any info and pics would help. thanks.

grn/wht is +12v and the other wire (grn/blk/whatever) is the ground.

Are there connectors at the end of your horn wires? I don't know if all Toyota vehicles had the same horn connectors but I have verified that our 00 LS, 98 Camry, and the 90 LS I use to have all had horns with the same connector type.

ah so if i connect the grn/wht and use the ground wires that came with the horns and ground em. they should work correct?

And there are connectors but they're all messed up so can't use em.

Would it be silly to install some Ferrari horns on an LS? I was thinking of doing this but I wanted some input from you guys first.
