Default 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.

stock horn is fine. leave it alone. if its wimpy, perhaps one of the wires were cut or maybe the car was in a crash and repaired wrong.

After last night's College World Series game, if someone knows of a horn that plays Rocky Top, let me know.
