Default Horn Replacement

Does anyone know where and how to replace the horns on the New Beetle?? I have a 2002 1.8t and my horns, probably the low tone is blown and sounds really bad. I blew it a couple of years ago and have never bothered to fix it. Thanks for any and all info/advice.

It's in the driver's side front fender. Pretty much right behind the fender liner.

Yep, if you lay on the ground in front of the car and reach up right in front of the drivers tire the 2 horns are there. They are mounted on an angle piece of steel that is bolted on. It's really easy. Going for the meep meep horns?

I've always hated the NB horn and have decided to go retro. From this post I get the impression that NB's have two horns (haven't looked at my Bentley yet). I assume then that each horn has it's own power connection. Would I be over the top if I installed two retro horns?
