The stock one is like a go-kart horn. It's pretty embarrassing.

Finally someone makes a decent review on how to change these clown horns. Thanks man! Changing mine on my XSE!

I never thought of upgrading my horn but after hearing the before/after, defn going for it! Thanks man

Very good and comprehensive video. I placed an order for a Corolla hatch last week and will definitely be doing this. Another plug-in upgrade(though would require some wiring work to single horn vehicles) is to go with horns from a more upscale Toyota vehicle; most Lexus models are pretty good if you can find them in boneyards. Toyotas have used the same horn connector since the mid '80s, so you've got a lot of options to choose from. I did this on my '88 Celica; replaced the relatively wimpy horns with those from an LS400. It saved me getting hit a couple of times by inattentive drivers.

Thank you! I appreciate the hard work that went into making this video!

I have a 2020 Hatchback as well and even I can't hear my own horns when music is turned up! LOL Just ordered these horns and will be doing the upgrade soon. Thx for the vid!

What a great video! Thank you so much! I followed this step by step and now have a much more respectable sounding horn :-) it was a bit fiddly fitting the horn on the right but got there in the end! The Toyota harness was difficult to source in the UK so got it from China which took an age to come. It came in a pack of two so if any one in the UK wants the other one contact me. It’s just the harness not the red wires but happy to pass it on. So glad I made the change. Thank you again :-)

Nice vid man! Definitely need to upgrade my horn badly lol

Upgraded my Toyota Blade Master G thanks to this review! Cheers mate!!

Just purchased a 2022 Corolla SE a few days ago and agree that the horn is pretty whimpy. You did a great job in the making of that video. Just purchased the horns and the wiring adapter. Can’t wait to tackle the job. In the meantime, I’ll just stick my head out the window and holler.

Finished the project yesterday in about 20-30 minutes. Very impressed with the outcome.

Thanks for the video. I have a 2021 Corolla ZR hybrid. Your clear and easy instructions made it a breeze for me to install these horns using the Toyota adapter. I placed one horn in the original horn position and the other to the same spot on the opposite side of the grill so the sound may balance better- maybe it won’t make a difference at all. I did have to solder one of the little wires to a longer wire to reach. Now my little red car has a big loud voice. Watch out motorists!

Great video! Going to do this to my corolla hatch, thanks for the info!

Thank you for the video and providing the bolt size and what else may be needed. I the Piaa 400hz + 500hz horns on the way and they both have the factory Toyota connections, so I just bought a pigtail 1 = 2 adapter so no additional grounding needed. Happy I won't have to run back to the store to figure out the bolt size! 👍

Dad did the horn on Camry, too 😂

Great video! Definitely worth it.👍👍

Ordering this ASAP thanks for the video

Awesome video! Learned a lot and used it as a guide. I'll buy a PIAA Superior Bass Horn for my Toyota Vios.

Thanks for the tip on the adapter. I hate cutting off connectors and the adapter kit is really reasonable.

Great video bro.

Sounds much better in real, awesome, I like it, and it's easy install if your car came with 2 horns like my camry 2014

Excellent video friend, very well explained step by step. I will perform the replacement of the Horns

Good video, Thanks Matt

Thats a great tutorial, thank you. Especially like the link to what's needed. I going to try!! My highlanders horn just doesn't cut it

Ordered the set... And will be installing as soon a I get them....

Thank you so much for making this video.. I couldn't locate the horne on mine but after watching your video, I now know where it is... will do this tomorrow to my 2021 Corolla Hatch... the current horne is embarrassing...sounds like mouse..🤦‍♂️

Great video overall. Great job with the editing and staying natural and professional with your narration. I appreciate @j penske with the comment for an alternative grounding method.

Nice! Now it sounds like a big truck👍

My boss even called me out at work saying it sounded like sh** lol i wish to change mine so bad 🤣

Did this as soon as i got mines!

Excellent video overall. Just want to provide an alternate grounding method. The ground terminals can be secured using the same bolts that are used to mount the horn brackets. That’s actually how the OEM horn is grounded. I installed Fiamm low and high tone horns like that. And thanks for the link for the connector kit, that was super useful !

Great job well explained ! 7

I have a 2022 Corolla cross. Thanks for the heads up. Maybe you can do a vid on turning off the insane seatbelt buzzer.

I installed these horns in my 22 Corolla today. Such a big difference. I love my Corolla, but it’s pathetic what Toyota calls a horn. I was almost embarrassed to honk it in traffic. LOL

Does it sound a lot better/louder in person? I do agree the 22 corolla horns are weak

Well done 👏

Thanks great video I just received my new 22 hatch corolla manual and I just order the horns Recommendation if you have the 2.0 engine I just ordered the Lexus engine cover for the U.N. model that has the same engine as the corolla. Make the interior engine look nice and as I have the se model I ordered the hood insulation that the XSE has for my se This helps contain any engine noise along with the engine cover.. pure cosmetic and sound deadening but I like the ROI

I have a toyota corolla 2010 with weark horn also. I have a question do toyotas use the horns for the car alarm sound also? meaning if someone steals your car they will hear the cheap horn but if you upgrade the horns its suddenly loud?

I have a 2010 toyota corolla and planning to install these. My question is do i need a fuse reaymto install this or just use the wiring adapter like what you did in the video?

thanks for the video. viewer from canada. just wondering, does a relay is needed while connecting 2 horns? im having a 20 corolla and the horn sound very bad. thank you

Nice. I got some of the clips or fasteners damaged. How do you call these type of fasteners to look for them to buy. Thanks.

Bro man I how do u get the grown wire from and the pice u put on amezon its not the same thing 2 plug in the car can u send me a link or different link

Definitely gonna change my horn. I have a Corolla too, the horn sounds terrible…thanks for the instructions. What I’ll do different is remove the front bumper and align the horns so they are visible through the grille.

This is the one thing I need to do on mine. Factory horn is just terrible.

How do you re-install those plastic tabs?

Anyone have a link where to order just the ground wires?

Thanks dude, did exactly this on a 2023 Corolla SE Hatch (C build-Japan). Same parts. Perfect results. Way better than the factory or Hella's. The grounding wires here are superior than brands built into the brackets. Recommend.

They absolutely sound louder than the stick horn! I don’t know the exact db levels of the stick horn. But it’s a night and day difference in volume and tone.

is it possible to use just one of the PIAA horns (330 or 400 dcb) ? thus eliminating having to piggyback both ? This modification caught my attention but i've never tackled a wiring project like this so I figured an even swap 1 horn for 1 horn would be good. would having only one decibel tone (330 or 400) be no improvement over the really weak Toyota stock horn tone ? Thanks for any advice

@MattWalters

2 жыл бұрын

You could, but it wouldn’t sound right. The dual horn system is compromised of 2 different tones, one high and one low to combine to the noise you hear in the video. So you could use just one, but it would be either a high or low tone and not as loud.

@ronrosenkaimer1096

You want the low tone, if using only one. If I do the work, I am making a statement with the horn. I guess it all comes down to how much attention do you want. My motorcycle has loud ones.

They relay is needed if you're changing from a 1 horn setup to a 2 horn setup, which is the case in this video. However, if you're getting just 1 horn, then you don't need the harness, you' d just be swapping the horn out

Did you insert the red wire into the black adapter properly? You could also try doing one horn at a time without the harness to see if both horns work. If neither work on its own, but your OEM horn works, then you likely got a defective horn
