Repositioning Horns on an Lexus IS200

However, it's very easy to reposition them. There are several holes on the inside of the crash bar that you can simply screw the horns into, you can see two in this picture :

Remove the grille (this makes it easier, although some members have successfully moved their horns with the grille still in place), then the horns can be easily unbolted from their existing positions.

09-05-2016, 08:53 AM #2What you will need are two bolts and two washers. I used some that I found in my collection of bits and pieces, I *think* they are M6 bolts, and as you can see they are not very deep. The washers are M6 washers.

The end result is a lot cleaner and pleasing, to my eye at least :

09-05-2016, 08:54 AM #3The OEM bolts used seem just slightly too big to fit into the holes on the crash bar, hence the new bolts being required. Fix the horns onto the crash bar with the new bolts, using whichever holes seem easiest for positioning given the wires etc. You will need to bend the horns slightly away from the crash bar so that the horns themselves aren't touching (only the bracket). If you don't do this, the horns will make a horrible/faintly amusing noise.
