Upgrading with more Horns! The factory single note horn in my Chevy Silverado just wasn't cutting it. So we upgraded to 4 more aftermarket OEM style horns to make the truck sound better and make it louder for other road users :)
I wanted to keep things simple so I grabbed 2 sets of FIAMM aftermarket horns which is the same brand for factory. There are 2 sets in each corner of the bumper and the factory horn was relocated to the center of the vehicle.

They all have 2 horns for 99-06 (and 07 classic). For 99-02 it is behind the drivers headlight, and passenger side it is behind the bumper under the blinker but easily accessible. For 03-06 they are a bit more cramped and harder to get to but in the same locations.

You stand corrected. I believe all 99'-2007 classic Silverados have two horns with the exception that the base LS pick-ups have one single note horn. But the same applies to the GMT800 SUVS. All of those have two horns in the exact same location.

Sounds good! All my trucks have had two horns, hi and low note. Since yours is like the LS model they may have skimped out on that. I used a relay and signal wire from the factory horn and added the early 90's style buick, cadillac train horns; 6 horns total. I tucked then away nicely, but two are down low facing down. It has been 7 years now driven through the monsoon rains in Phoenix and Albuquerque as well as flooded roads, and they still work. I guess as long as the water flows straight out it does not hurt them.

Hi Anthony, please list the two models you used. I want to upgrade mine like yours. I am not sure what to add. I want LOUD!! PIAA, HELLA or FIAMM, WOLO, or all four brands. You have an excellent set up! No tank to rust, No hoses to fail, No air solenoids to fail, No compressor to go bad. Your set up is definitely cost effective. The most I can see needing to add is a huge relay like in emergency services vehicles. I know I have a 75 AMP & a 150 AMP 12V continuous duty relays that I used on ham radios. I could trigger the relay with the factory OEM relay out wire.

I also thought GM put ONE horn in my 04 Tahoe, since that is the one I could get to from below behind the front right turn signal housing and that was what I was hearing: One horn. Turns out there's another one behind the front left turn signal housing, but you can't get to it from below because it is covered by the windshield washer reservoir and it's bracket from below/behind, which in turn is under the battery and and battery deck. You can see it if you take out the left headlight housing and the turn signal housing. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/iLZhjcaVqae7fXk.html

The horn on the driver side of my truck is located higher up behind the clearance light panel. I simply remove the pins of the headlamp unit then unsnap the clearance light unit so I can see it. Barely can reach a hand in with a 10mm wrench to loosen the bolt holding it. The horn on the passenger side it found by simply looking up from under the truck just behind the right light units.
