    So my Hella supertones stopped working about 2 weeks ago, and I have no clue why.

    I have them plugged into the stock wiring. i checked the fuse under the dash and it is not blown. I also check the connections to the stock harness, and at the horns. all appears to be good yet they still dont work.

    does anyone have a clue why/how this would happen?

    Did your relay die?

    Hopefully its not the switch in the steering wheel that went out.

    put a test light between one of the wires to the horn, and then to ground. then push the button.....that will rule out horn failure (although highly unlikely. it's a simple check, and you'll feel like an idiot if you tear into your dash to test/replace the relay and/or switch, and it turns out not to be the problem).

    does your airbag light come on before you start the car?? its common on imprezas for the roll connector to go out....and it aint cheap. check to see if your light even works. 80% of the time this is the problem.
