Reasons to upgrade:

1) Safety: As mentioned earlier, aftermarket horns can be substantially louder thus they catch others' attention easier. Some times a tad bit extra attention is all it takes to avoid accidents.

2) Acoustics: One's potion can be another's poison. Person A may find a specific frequency soothing but this same frequency can be ear-wrecking to Person B. Thus listen up before purchasing whenever possible.

3) Uniqueness: Today's factory horns all sound alike, i.e. dull, just spice up your horns' tone if you want to stand out from the bunch. This also translates into extra safety while being unique & different.

4) Asthetics: Look carefully through the opening of the front grille & you shall see the black factory horns in there. Why make them so subtle & bashful is beyond us. Swap them with a red pair & your ride instantly looks like it has a bloody nose. Install LED lighting & the blue/chrome ones now even glow. Horns can dress up your ride very prominently.

About the makers:

Bosch horns and fanfares are made from high quality materials, and can be relied on to deliver an unfailingly pure warning tone even under the toughest conditions.

Our extensive range is suitable for all applications from urban commuting, to louder systems for emergency vehicles and motorway driving. Whichever type you choose, you can be sure of Bosch's quality of build and the reliability you expect of a vital warning system.
