Don't waste your money. Go to the Junk Yard and pull a set out of a Caddy or a an older American Car. You'll have big sound for less than 20 bucks.

I upgraded mine with two that I had sitting in the garage. One is a air horn with two trumpets the other is an "ooga" horn (think Ford model T). I hear the ooga horn much better than the other two. Catches your attention better than a regular horn that's twice as loud. I think I got it at harbor freight for about $10.

This is an old issue and we have about beat it to death over the months but it keeps coming back. Some of the factory horns on the H3's sound like a dying cow and are pretty embarassing when you need to make a point to some idiot driver on a cell phone at a green light.

Here are two manufacturers that won't break your budget and should have something loud that fits in the OEM location.

The stock horn only needs (+) power, the horn itself is (-) grounded by being bolted to the
frame. There should be just one wire going to the horn. If you have a voltmeter and put the red probe on the wire and the black probe to the body/frame you should read 12v when someone beeps the horn.
