Does your Horn Sound Weak?
I am embarrassed to use my horn.
It sounds like it's from a 2 cylinder camry that was totaled.
Is it typical that the horn sounds so weak or is mine busted? If that is normal is there a plug and play oem replacement from another vehicle that sounds better?
Thanks

They are puny sounding, even when stock.
I got some horns from a late 70's full sized Cadillac in a PnP. I only used two, but they come in sets of 4 (all different tones).
Makes it sound a bit more assertive, not like a palm buzzer.

Are any of the horns you guys mention plug and play? with the same connectors maybe from a lexus or other Toyota?
If not is it just splicing a couple of wires together? I don't want to get into a scenario where I short out the fuse when I use the horn, fry stock wiring with aftermarket horns or can't fit the new horns in the same exact spot.
I appreciate your suggestions

I'm sure the Lexus horns are PnP. The Caddy horns were - other than a slight bit of grinding on the bracket here and there, then the wire plugged right on.

I actually found the horn housings to be both broken and completely missing.
I think this was causing the wimpy horn sound on my car and probably everyone elses. I don't think they put a bad horn in the car to begin with.

Nope. It was wimpy new. I noticed it on the drive home from the dealer in 1999 and I swapped the horn that year.
