Don't think changing your horn cable can change the sound of your horn.

Hi there Kelvin,  it has a weak "tweet" sound and it is not like normal car horn loudness.

you got to change the horns, go carrefour suntec city and pick up a set of blu horns, it's as good as the stebel if not better for $16.00. am using it right now, think it's a korean brand.

Hello CustomGolf,
Bought a pair of horn from Suntec carrefour, thanks again for your info.
May I know the location of the horn in our Latio and can we DIY to replace ourself?

Edwin, it's just behind the grills. pop open your bonnet and remove those clips on the top and you'll be able to access the horns.

Hi CustomGolf, managed to removed the small size clips and both grilles and replaced the pair of horn!
Please advice where can I get a pair of the larger size  round plastic clips.
Thanks again.
Edwin

There is a posting in the Aesthetic section for EPS clips, you might want to take a look, it's expensive though but I think they are re-usable, just don't throw away your originals.

Thanks. Went to TCM today and got the clips.
FYI, I replaced stock horn with a pair of Stebel horn. Now Real loud and obvious! Cheers.
