This is from a previous post I haven't looked to confirm "it sits under the driver side headlamp "

Thanks. It looks like I may not need to order a Horn Wiring Harness kit with relay because the manual is showing a Horn Relay fuse of 15 amps. I may be able to use the existing wiring. I just hope that the dual horn will fit where the original horn is.

There’s no DIY video on YouTube for Seltos yet. I’m hoping someone will do it soon.
There used to be a single unit horn that was like a train horn. Tried to order for my MGB but they were sold out. I'll see if I can dig it up in my browsing history.

I bought it from Amazon. I have not installed it yet. I’m still waiting for install instruction video for the Seltos on YouTube. These are compact horns I don’t know how they sound. Here’s the link:

I was sick of the pathetic PlaySkool toy horn in my Seltos SX, so I did some research and found a set of genuine Kia OEM dual horns on Ebay for $41. They came from Korea, so it took a couple-few weeks to get them. They are obviously high-quality OEM Kia horns and even came with the OEM pigtails to correctly mount and wire them. Had the car in to the dealer today for the transmission firmware update, and they swapped out the horns while it was in there. I never did ask where they're actually located, but I'm guessing in front of radiator somewhere. Net result is a ginormous improvement. Very nice two tone sound, like that of a Cadenza or K900. For $41 plus install cost, a good investment. This item # ought to get you to the ones I bought: 152781517944 Just enter that in the search box on Ebay.

Thanks ordered it..
Thanks ordered it..
Are you going to install it yourself? Please let me know where the horn is located. Thanks.
See my post from couple days ago. Bought OEM KIA dual horns and had dealer install during a service visit. They sound great. They charged me 1 hour for install- $70. Worth it to avoid the hassle of doing them myself.

Didn't know it was 2 horns to mount, so retuned them. Just want one loader horn in place of whimpy one. Still looking. and car in shop for jammbed sunroof. :(

You have to remove the front bumper to get to the horn. This random location is why all of the horns are failing. Just had mine replaced today.

They sent me 2 horns. I only wanted one and thought that would be fine, but apparently most are replacing the one horn with two. Still looking for something better in a single unit.. ?!?

@Donno - Can you take a few pics of how they are mounted? I just ordered the same kit (although it's $61 now) for my wife's Seltos. Like the fact that it's OEM + has the pigtails required.

I’ll see if I can get a photo. It’s kinda hidden up in there. But it sure does sound 10 times better!
This is great! I really hate the horns with the Seltos, sounds pathetic. I'm going to order them as well on Ebay. Great Info Guys! Thank you!
