What are these wires - missing horn?

On passenger side (right) there are these wires just hanging behind my grille. Double brown and single with connector. Driver side has horn but not the same wiring. 
many suggestions what these are for?

On my 76er - the primary wrapped wires coming through that grommet feed the passenger side headlight/marker lights. Nothing on that side is horn (that’s all on driver side AFAIK).

The other thing coming through there is an ‘available’  fog/driving light tap.

 

My car also has AC - and I have extra wiring for that over there too. Your car ever had AC or driving lights?

 

Where we goin’? … I’ll drive…

The Green/yellow is for a right high-tone horn (400Hz).

Brown wires are the horn ground, shared with the left low-tone horn (335Hz). 


You made me remember something. I looked through the box of random parts that came in the trunk of the car when I bought it 18 months ago. Found a horn. Back looks marked for the wire positions too. Wonder why they took it off and didn’t put it back on. When the car was repainted they didn’t remove the other side. Maybe they were going to replace it since it’s broken? We’ll never know. 
I should reinstall it.

If it were me I'd spend the 40 bucks and get a pair of Hella red horns, they are way louder at 120 dbs. than stock and with every other person on the phone or having the tunes cranked up it's needed now more than ever.

    BMW Neue Klasse - a birth of a Sports Sedan

    Unveiling of the Neue Klasse Unveiled in 1961, BMW 1500 sedan was a revolutionary concept at the outset of the '60s. No tail fins or chrome fountains. Instead, what you got was understated and elegant, in a modern sense, exciting to drive as nearly any sports car, and yet still comfortable for four.   The elegant little sedan was an instant sensation. In the 1500, BMW not only found the long-term solution to its dire business straits but, more importantly, created an entirely new

    History of the BMW 2002 and the 02 Series

    In 1966, BMW was practically unknown in the US unless you were a touring motorcycle enthusiast or had seen an Isetta given away on a quiz show.  BMW’s sales in the US that year were just 1253 cars.  Then BMW 1600-2 came to America’s shores, tripling US sales to 4564 the following year, boosted by favorable articles in the Buff Books. Car and Driver called it “the best $2500 sedan anywhere.”  Road & Track’s road test was equally enthusiastic.  Then, BMW took a cue from American manufacturers,

    The BMW 2002 Production Run

    BMW 02 series are like the original Volkswagen Beetles in one way (besides both being German classic cars)—throughout their long production, they all essentially look alike—at least to the uninitiated:  small, boxy, rear-wheel drive, two-door sedan.  Aficionados know better.   Not only were there three other body styles—none, unfortunately, exported to the US—but there were some significant visual and mechanical changes over their eleven-year production run.   I’ve extracted t
