In between the battery, relay box and the inner fender. There was actually a hole there already so we were able to screw from the fender side into the bracket that held it. Screw point into the engine bay side.

People drive in water all the time. I feel like we would have heard something about this by now if water was some huge issue to them.

You'll do fine. Just mount them as high as you can. It's only one wire per horn so you could easily extend them with a connector then shrink wrap your connection. That almost waterproof.

Tonight I took my old bumper off and brackets to dry fit my new bumper to drill the holes and do any cutting. So as of now I gotta cut 1.5" off then refit to mark the holes to drill and then I'll paint it so I'm hoping it'll be ready for this weekend to go on. And in this whole process I only broke 1 bolt.
I found a good spot on the firewall to mount the vacuum ball but those damn horns are a pain due to the necessary grounding. Oh well I guess for now I'll turn them, dielectric and silicone them so I can trim my fender lining
