One shop selling $90 with installation. Is it reasonable?

But it doesn’t seem to come with relay, unlike Hella.

Since the Bosch only $60 I would go with the Bosch.

How’s the sound? Can charge lobang? Did they install with relay?

Sometimes also depend on car.

Yes with relay as i was upgrading from single to fanfare. Quite loud and sharp tone. Definitely a big step up from my factory Korean beeper. Just sick and tired of certain road users and heavy vehicle drivers seated high up don't seem to be able to hear the stock horn (or simply don't care).

Sound test from Youtube:

The shop I went to; Tong Lee Wee, specialises in Korean and Japanese makes. For my car it required the removal of entire front bumper and grille to install the horn, so $60 for parts and labour seemed fair to me.

Thanks for sharing, mine’s a Korean too so probably need to remove front bumper too.

Yes, the stock horn very lame.

Very good price, will go there. You went to the Macpherson or Lengkok Bahru one?

Thanks for sharing!

If you're DIY guy, you can probably install it yourself.

1. Provided your horns are accessible without removing bumper

2. Most modern cars come with horn relay already, so no need to install separate horn relay

3. I installed mine DIY, the horn only $20+ from autobacs (on sale) and I ordered the universal spade to brand specific connector adaptor harness to install, no need to cut or splice any wiring.

Korean bumper easy to remove but a bit tricky if one man show. See if you want to try or not. Why let Nancy break your bumper's virginity?
