Good price point / Seem to be of good quality / Easy install / Correct connector for 2024 Rav4 / MUCH LOUDER than stock horns Would buy again.

Easy to install and a huge improvement over the wimpy original horns on my 2024 Rav4.

Suena mejor que el de stock, el sonido es suficiente y agradable, algunos mencionan que no es alto el sonido, pero en lo personal esta justo, hasta un poquito alto. Lo mejor que es plug&play.

Below: 1. What to expect 2. How to install WHAT TO EXPECT This horn is loud. If you are looking for an air horn from a train or a semi-tractor, you will be disappointed. This is a dual note car horn like you would find in a typical American full-size car. It might be slightly louder, but you will not be raising the dead with this thing. The Japanese style dual note horn that came in my 2023 Toyota RAV4 Limited was louder than many Japanese economy cars, and worked fine for polite taps to get the attention of drivers dozing off at red lights, but on the interstate at high speed they were not sufficient. I believe drivers could actually hear the horn, but could not tell which direction it was coming from. I make that observation because several times when vehicles were entering my lane, a tap would make them move faster into my lane, not move away. If this happened just once or twice, I would assume I woke up a drunk. But it happened numerous times. Since I live in a large metropolitan area, it is often difficult to swerve out of the way of such vehicles because the adjacent lanes are occupied. Slamming on the brakes is risky because cars often follow too closely, especially at rush hour. So to know WHAT DIRECTION the horn is coming from is important in such circumstances. Likewise, when losing my car at a shopping center or event parking, I use my key fob to activate the horn to locate it in the sea of cars. Unfortunately, modern cars seem mostly to be of similar colors: White, black, silver/grey, dark red, dark blue. Very few have really distinctive colors. Mine is "Ruby Pearl", a very attractive red that is less common than some, but there are still a dozen in a sea of 500 cars. Except for sports cars or exotics, the days of yellow, bright gold, orange, bright green, bright blue, teal, bright red or distinctive two-tone paint seems lost in time. In the old days, even if you drove black, white or silver, you could 'landmark' your car by the brightly colored ones on either side. This is difficult to do these days. So now we locate our cars using the alarm. When using the alarm to locate my ruby pearl Rav4, I could often hear the horn, but I could not figure out the direction in large parking lots. With this new horn it is no longer a problem, even when at the limit of the range of my remote. With a fresh set of batteries, I would estimate the range on my remote is nearly 100 yards/meters. The first time I located my vehicle after the horn installation, I had forgotten I replaced the horn and was surprised how easy it was to locate my car. Videos you see of before and after demonstrations will not really convey the improvement in sound quality because a noise with twice the energy will not sound twice as loud and electronics recording these sounds may also "clip" the sound above a certain level. Therefore, it is more accurate to describe the ability to notice the sound and the ability to detect direction of the sound. So while this horn may not seem three times as loud as the old one, I would say it is three times as noticeable. I would also say it is far easier to tell the direction of the horn. In that second regard, I would say the original Toyota horn performed very poorly, even though it was "louder" than many Japanese and European style horns. So is this horn "louder" than the original horn? Certainly, but it won't rattle your teeth. However, it is FAR more noticeable and FAR easier to determine the direction from where it is coming. Therefore, in my opinion, it is a superior horn. If it is your desire to scare your neighbors, celebrate the football win, or make other drivers angry with you, then there are better choices. However, they will probably not be bolt-in replacements. They will also probably require dedicated power supply circuits and a separate switch, although you could install them so your steering wheel button activates a relay to power them. You can sound like a semi tractor or a train, but you will want an air horn for that purpose. Of course this then begs the question: Are there louder conventional 12 volt replacement horns. There might be, but not significantly so. This will be close to the top in terms of loudness, though you might find one that is a few decibels louder. One reviewer said they were looking for something like the horn on a Chevy Silverado. I suspect this horn is as loud -or louder- as that Chevy, and the difference was not in the horn itself but how it was mounted. Which leads me to the next portion of this review: INSTALLATION I have repeatedly seen reviews mention that people install these horns by cutting part of the wiring harness binding material that holds the horn wires together. This is not correct. I have repeatedly seen reviews mention that people install these horns with the horn opening facing down. This is not correct. When installed, the electrical connector FACES DOWN and the horn opening in at the BOTTOM FACING SIDEWAYS. The downward path in front of the radiator is not open to the street. The area below the horns is covered with a plastic valance. If the horn opening is facing down, the sound travels down and reflects off the lower plastic radiator valance. This will REDUCE the horn VOLUME to some degree as the sound is not directed out of the grill but towards sound absorbing plastic surfaces, where it then reflects back up and has to make another turn to leave the grill. The sound waves have an indirect path out of the car. I did not do experiments to determine how much volume is lost, but I suspect it would be quite noticeable. Some of the reviewers say they orient the horns down to prevent rain from entering the horn. This is not necessary. When the car is stationary, no rain will enter the horn because it is far enough under the hood that rain cannot reach it. When driving down the road, any rain getting under the hood will get there horizontally through the front of the grill. That means the path of the water will be at a TANGENT to the horn openings no matter what position the horn is mounted in. In no case will water be directed directly into the horn, no matter what position the horn is in. The horns themselves will not be damaged by exposure to water. Look at how many off road vehicles get submerged to the the hood in water with no ill effects on their horns whatsoever. However, you don't want the horns to hold water, so you would not want the horns facing up like cups. The way I mounted my horns: The DRIVER'S SIDE horn opening is on the LOWER LEFT part of the horn and facing LEFT (passenger side) - as viewed looking into the grill. In this position the spiral of the horn is COUNTERCLOCKWISE. The PASSENGER'S SIDE horn opening is on the LOWER RIGHT part of the horn and facing RIGHT (driver side) - as viewed looking into the grill. In this position the spiral of the horn is CLOCKWISE. With the horns in this orientation the following advantages are realized: A. Most of the sound energy leaves the grill directly without reflecting off sound absorbing surfaces. B. No moisture can accumulate inside the horn. C. No modification of the wiring harness is necessary and the wires going to the horn are under no strain. It should be noted in this orientation, the electrical connectors are facing down and are at the back of the horns. The kit comes with four pre-drilled, oval shaped mounting brackets. The two holes in each bracket are of different sizes so be sure to use the smaller hole on the horn side and the bigger one on the car chassis side. There are no directions with these horns and the purpose of the second set is not explained. However, after mounting the horns, they seemed to vibrate a little bit and I was not satisfied, so I stacked the brackets in pairs and the horns seemed much more secure and no longer vibrated. Therefore, I suggest using both pairs of mounting brackets stacked together. Conclusion: I like these horns. With an understanding of how to mount them they are easy to install and should take about 20 minutes using simple tools. I believe they add significant safety in highway conditions and significant convenience in parking lot conditions. The materials seem to be of good quality and I would rate them to be a fair value, thus I recommend them. Toyota should take notice.

Definitivamente lo recomiendo, un cambio radical en el sonido del claxon, no doy comentarios regularmente pero este producto me gustó demasiado, realizar la modificación es sencillo
