You can see them if you look way down in behind the left side headlight...

Hi there! In case of replacing horns, do I just need to remove the left wheel arch cover to reach the horns? Thanks for help!

Removing the wheel arch cover would not be useful in my case. Mine's a 3.0 6cyl. It's tight but doable (minus a couple of knuckles). An 8cyl might be even tighter I don't know.

I think you can access them from underneath too - if you remove the front (plastic) under shield.
