""“ Switch off the ignition and all electrical components.

You may be right but it doesn't sound like 2 tone and I want to change it. Thank you for the comment.

It's not necessary...and also yes, they're OEM two tone horns...about 420 and 510 Hz. They have a Bosch two-pin half-round plug so you may have to do some electrical wire work to fit aftermarket horns. If you fit new horns a write up and a couple of photos for the How To section would be good. Good luck.

Wow! Are we really reviving a 5.5 year old thread here? ?

The horns on Indian market cars, as mentioned twice in #2, will be positioned for easy replacement, because they are in use continuously.

Actually that was the WASHER bottle that does all 3 washers, windscreen, rerar screen and headlights.
