Location of high note horn?

Not a very exciting question I know, but can anyone tell me where the high note horn is & the best way to access it? I know it's somewhere around the driver's side headlight, but rather than just start tearing off crap looking for it, I was hoping someone who had actually seen the damned thing can tell me how to get to it. Under “Horn, Install/remove” all the shop manual has is an outline of the car with black dots in front of the radiator and behind the aforementioned headlight. Jeesh! I almost got nailed in a parking lot the other day by a nitwit in a SUV, despite LAYING ON the stock horn, the guy didn't see me until it was almost too late, so I got a somewhat louder set of aftermarket horns. I had assumed the horn in front of the radiator was the only one on the car (the tiny little "beep beep"sure sounds like it), but nope.

TIA

I'm also trying to find it... almost got run over by an escalade since it took him a full 3 seconds to hear the horn.

It's located below the driver's side headlight, disconnect the low note in front of the radiator & toot the horn with the keyfob & you'll be able to locate the sound. Can't reasonably get to it (you may be able to access it from below through the behind the bumper chin panel on that side, but those goddam cheapass plastic "fasteners" Mitsu has decided to use are so freeking hard to remove without breaking them, I gave up on this approach. I disconnected the low note in front of the radiator & installed the 2 aftermarket horns, connecting them to the lead that had gone to the radiator horn & leaving the OEM high note connected. The 3 horns sound together w/o blowing the fuse, so I think this is OK & much louder than the OEM "beep beep". I mounted the new horns on the short brackets they came with under the inboard upper headlight assy screw on each side, where they're well protected yet can be heard clearly.

Hell I need to do this mod. I was directly behind some space cadet chick at a stoplight. She wasn't talking on a cell phone or anything, just staring straight ahead at a green arrow and not moving. I laid on my horn the entire time after I realized she wasn't giong to move. She never went...some people i swear...
