Change horn from inside frunk?

[TripleTrucker]

I can see the back of horns when I remove frunk liner. They look flush with a flat bracket holing them in. I'm curious if they are larger on other side behind bumper which won't allow me to pull them through that opening. Anyone play with this yet? Low tone is intermittently out. Cold weather seems to affect it.

Front bumper removal is almost as easy as front frunk (all layers included) removal, so if weather allows and you have suitable place why not approach outside?

Had frunk opened up to check power opener and saw the horns right there so not thinking about bumper removal yet

Also, looks like mounting hardware is in frunk so both may need to come out after all

removing the horn is not a simple job, i had to change my louvers out as the old ones broke and it was a bitch!

You have to remove the front bumper (easy 5 min task)
then you have to remove the damn radiator, this is a bitch because you have to drain the fluid and then refill once you put it all back together.
then you can access the louvers which is where the horns are held in place.

HOWEVER, if you have small hands it could be possible to get the horns out while only pulling the rad out of place a little and not actually removing it. only way to tell is to try, as but i don't remember how much wiggle room there was

My simple yet improper thought if they finally go out is to mount replacement horns inside where the backs of the current horns are located. Not correct, and a not as loud, but a whole lot easier!

Total Newbie when it comes to horn removal. Which side of the car are the horns located? If I remove the bullet nose on my 2014 MS 85, can I see the horns (and remove them)? Thanks in advance. How about from the frunk area, does removing the frunk liner give you access to remove, test, replace. Does anyone know the Amperage draw of the existing horns? Looking to replace them (if mine is broken) with a PIAA horn set.

Wasn't clear from posts which model was being fitted, reasonable question. Cut some slack
