I managed to fit two Fiamm air horns in the place of the original - from https://www.qashqaiforums.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=29&t=630&p=43974#p43974:
(2015 Nissan Qashqai Tekna DIG-T 1.2 sold 15/6/18) ~ 2018 Suzuki Ignis SZ5 - 2018 Yamaha MT-07 ~ (2024 Volvo EX30 ordered)
Did the slim twin horn type PIAA with wires from existing connector (used the connector on the horn and not on the wiring to the horn) by soldering two wires off to each of the new horns. Used a small bracket to mount the two horns and avoided them blocking the radiator. Fairly straightforward.

I upgraded my horn to the dual PIAA slim horns.
Here's a before and after of the horns.

Were there 2 original horns as standard? One is adjacent to radiators. Where is the 2nd one placed?irononreverse wrote: ↑Sun Mar 08, 2020 3:22 pm I upgraded my horn to the dual PIAA slim horns.

I think it's just one horn originally. Sounds like only one.calnorth wrote: ↑Mon Mar 09, 2020 8:33 amWere there 2 original horns as standard? One is adjacent to radiators. Where is the 2nd one placed?irononreverse wrote: ↑Sun Mar 08, 2020 3:22 pm I upgraded my horn to the dual PIAA slim horns.

My 2017 1.6 NConnect had two as standard, and the second appears to be low down on the engine compartment firewall. Obscured by the under engine cover. Also, I had difficulty with placing two PIAA horns in the space the original occupied near the radiators top. So I have one PIAA in place at the moment.irononreverse wrote: ↑Mon Mar 09, 2020 9:53 amI think it's just one horn originally.

I bought a 75mm bracket from b&q. Drilled the end holes bigger and mounted them vertically from the original bracket.calnorth wrote: ↑Mon Mar 09, 2020 10:27 amMy 2017 1.6 NConnect had two as standard, and the second appears to be low down on the engine compartment firewall.

Like that. Can't remember if I mounted the top one to the original hole or the lower bracket hole as well.
