Horn Upgrade?

Hello Everyone,

I have a 2021 Lexus ES 350 F-Sport and the Horn is pretty sad. Has anyone upgraded it? If I want to stay in the OEM route, can I put in a Toyota Tundra/4 Runner/Etc horn on there?

Thank you

You have two horns: low and high. Maybe one of them is dead. Check that first.

I put LS400 horns in all my cars since I really despise the shrill beep beep. This style

Nice! Do you have a sound clip?

Also do I need to remove the bumper or are these accessible from the hood?

Don't know if possible on the Lexus. But you could check/search the "HELLA 012010901 Black 12V BX Trumpet Horn Kit (Toyota)".

That was the first thing I did on my DW RAV4. The OEM sounded like a Toyota Yaris instead of an SUV. Since then the RAV4 sounds like a BIG SUV and DW is very happy.

Nevertheless, I find my 23' ES horn adequate.

Edit: Installing on the RAV4 required the (under hood) front top trim removal. Big hands and small space but not complicated.
