I can recommend him, received my kit in only 4 days from Japan to Germany.

I bought the same kit a couple months ago from the same guy. I haven't had the chance to install them so I have no opinion on the sound but in terms of the seller, I too was surprised at how quickly I received my horns from Japan.

The kit is complete; it includes the "Y" connector with the correct OEM connectors as well as a grounding wire and even the nut/bolt for the second horn.

I wanted to get a horn that sounded just like my IS300. I am not sure if the Ebay one sounds exactly like it but that is what the guy advertises. Plus, it is all plug and play because it is Toyota OEM so it uses Toyota connectors.

Yeah but, that is just one horn. The info is misleading/confusing about that.

The Toyota premium horn kit (from eBay) contains two horns at two different frequencys to give the clasic horn sound. It also contains the wire "Y" harness and mounting hardwar for a Toyota. It is a better value IMO.
It's what I installed in my Yaris an it's great.

Anybody with pics of the premium horn kit installed? Trying to get a feel for placement as it sounds more and more like a good idea. Thanks (pics worth a 1000 words)

Just said the hell with it and got em. Need the pics now for ideas. Thanks

If you go to the ebay auction in the link there are pictures there.

Great choice.

Here's a DIY with pics. Scroll down the page.

You do not need to remove the bumper if you do it as described. I had plenty of room doing it that way.

You can get creative as to how to mount the horns. You can drill another hole as shown.
However, I just made a small bracket (out of metal I had on hand) which I mounted both horns on.
I then mounted the bracket (with the horns mounted on it using the existing hole. This way I did not have to cut any plastic, etc.

Thanks for the link and comments.

Well got mine from the Ebay dealer as advertised. Spent today removing bumper and steam cleaning. Dressed all the plastic parts, installed the horns and put it all back together. Kit came with the bolt etc to fit the empty threaded hole left of the stock mount. Great sound. Thanks to all in this thread for replies and links. I appreciate it.

I got that PIAA horn installed. its 2 horns, and you have to splice, or find a nifty way to connect them both.
