Replacing main horn

Hi guys before I start this project can someone please tell me if anyone has posted a thread that details how to get at the horn (I looked but couldn't find one) . The only one I could find was for a 2009 model and in that the main horn was behind the front grill. Can someone either send me a link to an existing thread or tell me where you can find the horn.

thanks in advance.

There are two horns: 4 is the low frequency, 5 is the high frequency.

If a picture's worth a thousand words, a video's worth a million! Thanks, Sam.

I think that the horn is a Honda trademark. That sound is and always has been annoying. It has the tin-can toy car noise maker effect.
Another mod in the making.

Not to sound like an smart ass or anything but why would somebody want a different horn? Is it just a "change it just so it is different" kind of thing?

The reason I replaced the horn was that it car sounded like a scooter and didn't really get peoples' attention when pulling out on me etc

... Now it's like a small freight train, happened tonight someone pulled in on me and nearly made me hit the median had I not laid on the horn and they stopped dead.

I've had more than a few instances of highway driving where someone will merge into me and my lane giving total disregard to my furious albeit cute horn blowing. I could imagine a beefier blast would have kept them in their lane.

I changed mine to the College Hills horns. Glad I did it even though it was a lot of work. You have to pull the front bumper cover. The horns are plug and play though. No splicing.
