Default horn resistor

I bought a horn resistor from one of the suppliers. I read the instruction but I don't understand how to install it. Where is the horn terminal bracket and the yellow wire?

You should have a yellow wire going to the horn (from the cutout) and a blue/yellow wire going from the horn to the horn button (via the light switch). The terminal bracket is where the wires terminate inside the horn cover.

One Guy used a hidden coil, for a voltage drop.
