Just replaced mine. My goodness you think they’d at least have this standard on the Touring V6.🤷🏾♂️💀 Excellent video tho! Very helpful and got it done in a breeze 💯🙏🏾👍🏾
Great instructional video and very useful. The Accord is Honda's premier offering, so why they fitted it at the factory with such tinny, "economy-car" sounding horns I don't understand. My 2017 EX-L V6 is a terrific car, but the chirpy horns (and the woefully thin, cheap and nasty carpeting) were out of place in such a fine vehicle. Honda should have fitted the deeper-toned horns from the Odyssey minivan as standard. Thank you for posting the tutorial and the links to the parts, this was very helpful. As you say, this upgrade is very easy and fast to complete for anyone of even modest mechanical skill. I like your RUclips site and appreciate the lengths you go to to try new products on your Accord for the benefit of the rest of us. Good health and good wishes to you, sir.
Anytime you deal with electrical on a car, it's always best to take off the negative cable from the battery. That way, if you buy a cheap horn, it won't fry it when you connect it... ot anything electrical. Especially older cars. Lol or you might have a constant horn sound until you disconnect the battery. Idk why i know this.... lol
Its way louder with the upgrade, I have heard them in person. The object of the horn is to get your attention and the upgrade definitely gets your attention better than the mouse horn. It not just about db's, the Hertz range your ear perceives has more to do with it than just db's.
finally honda learnt something from toyota. the last time i replaced the meep horns from HRV and CRV (3rd - 4th gen) i had to open the front bumper. most toyota i replaced? just like this!
I understand changing the tone but the ones you installed are not as loud (108db) as the factory(110db). I want to "upgrade" to louder ones like PIAA. It has 115db :)
+no1boost I agree I dont mind upgrading but it has to be similar dbs or more. Like you said the PIAA's are louder. I dont want it to be softer regardless of the tone.
db rating is NOT all that matters, a horn is to get attention of whoever your honking at. Trust me these get FAR more attention than the factory ones every time.
David Humphrey they are both “meep meep” or “moped horns”...the high has a higher pitch and the low has a Lower pitch and when used at the same time it sounds like a normal horn
Hi there, I put this horn in my 2015 accord. Works perfectly but I was wondering why does the lock alarm does not beep anymore. I check the car settings of the beep and did not change anything. Can somebody help? Thank you
I have a 2016 accord touring sedan and amazon+eBay says these won’t fit. Anyone know if that is correct? Different set up perhaps or location under the hood???🤔 I’ll have to do more research
I checked on amazon and it says it doesnt fit my 2014 honda accord exl v6. Can you tell me if i can bypass this and still replace them with the upgrade ones?
I have a 2014 Accord Touring and I noticed the same thing on Amazon, I ended up ordering them anyway and they do fit. I think it just says “doesn’t fit” because they weren’t factory equipment, despite the fact that they do physically fit in the car with the same connectors. So you’re good to order
@@9thGenAccord My mom's odyssey only has a working high horn. It is very, VERY, thin and quiet. You'd rather have the 9th gen stock horns over an odyssey high-horn by itself. The low horn really brings up the oomph of the system, and the high horn keeps it from sounding like a 1970s Mercedes.
After watching this video, my 2015 accord dosen't have a mouse sounding horn but rather real sounding horn, I never upgraded it and it sound already what your upgrading to, weird.
watched this vid cause sadly I just discovered my Accord's horn. Honestly thought it was broken. My crv (a Civic based vehicle) has a better sounding horn. WTF Honda.
I bought the horns for $70 and followed your video. Great upgrade, thanks!
i hate my "MEEP MEEP" horn. lmao the 1st i pressed it I LAUGHED SOOO HARD.
I didn't, I just cried
Did this on my 2015 Accord EX-L. Sounds much better than the "Roadrunner" horns. Thanks.
Your welcome.

can you give me the part number for that, I really really need to update but I want to get something great that fits perfectly

Thank you so much for the references! It is for my civic FK3.
Wait what is the difference between high and low? I see both are upgrades or is one the stock version?

Hi where is the description of the horns down below. I don’t see anything. Please advise. Let me know. Thank You

i just installed these horns today. My 2013 Honda Accord Sport horns DOESN'T work unless i closed the hood and locked the doors.
fit perfect for honda accord 2016 lx thank you very much sound like real car
The good sounding horn goes to a 2014 Honda Odyssey Van.
Great video, thank you! Why do you have two different model numbers for the new horns in the description?
Milton Lopez Because they are two different horns.
@@DieselWorld can we put 2 highs or 2 lows?
Are all honda connectors the same? Because I wouldn't mind doing this on my ridgeline.
Is it safe to assume this retrofit and same part numbers will work on a 2017 Accord EX-L Hybrid?
which tool do you use to remove the 4 clips from the black cover?
What other hondas have the normal horns?
I have a 2016 accord touring sedan and amazon+eBay says these won’t fit. Anyone know if that is correct? Different set up perhaps or location under the hood???🤔 I’ll have to do more research
Will this 11-17 odyssey horn Also fit a 2008 civic
Whats the part number for the horn upgrade
I'm going to do this to my 15 Accord. Did you use 2 different horns from Honda to replace? If so, why? Thanks!
R. Shafer One is a high tone and one is a low tone.
I checked on amazon and it says it doesnt fit my 2014 honda accord exl v6. Can you tell me if i can bypass this and still replace them with the upgrade ones?

I have a Honda si 2014. I hate the little mouse beep it makes when I lock my car. How can I change this ?
Get new horns.
Can I use these on a 14 Civic. The horn is worse than the Accord
I have no idea.
Yes you can. They have the same connection.
What happens if you only replace the high tone horn and not the low one? (Wondering because I’m still waiting for the low one to arrive)
I have no idea.
@@9thGenAccord My mom's odyssey only has a working high horn. It is very, VERY, thin and quiet. You'd rather have the 9th gen stock horns over an odyssey high-horn by itself. The low horn really brings up the oomph of the system, and the high horn keeps it from sounding like a 1970s Mercedes.
The meep meep is your typical Japanese car horn
where do you get the ones with socket connectors? i keep finding the ones without it thank you... nice vid
+ladycharmie718 Just look up the part numbers I have and you will get the same ones I have.
Ty i just did mine got parts name FIAMM a much cheaper and louder than stock horn saved 100+ dollars just had to do a lil' wiring
+9th Gen Accord could I install 3 instead of 2, do you think they will sound good and louder
No you are not going to get 3 to work. Trust me the 2 are plenty loud!
Thank you
this is so much easier than a civic omg.
After watching this video, my 2015 accord dosen't have a mouse sounding horn but rather real sounding horn, I never upgraded it and it sound already what your upgrading to, weird.
Canadian Accords have the real horn sounds! USA decided to not.... :/
Will this work on a 2012 civic?
No, you can’t upgrade these
Do these also change the alarm lock beep?
yes
No. The alarm/lock beep is generated by some other device, not the horns.
22CobraKing what will change the alarm lock beep ?
I upgrade my horn but when I lock my door I still have the beep sound... Honda accord coupe 2014
Cesar Feliz You probably have a secon horn soley for the alarm beep.
That means yours is push button. Your beep comes from the back of the car.
watched this vid cause sadly I just discovered my Accord's horn. Honestly thought it was broken. My crv (a Civic based vehicle) has a better sounding horn. WTF Honda.
No before and after comparison?
In the first 21 seconds I did. Did you not watch that far in the video???
9th Gen Accord apologies... somehow it skipped it... thanks for the correction...
