Are both of the horns the same pitch? I noticed they have different part numbers. Neither of mine worked. Where is a good place to buy them?

Usually car horns come in two different pitches. Makes 'em even more annoying.

There's nothing super Porsche-specific about horns, just the mounting and the connector, so without too much fuss you can use horns from just about any 12V car.

Ahh, horns are so passive agressive; you need to take it manualy (IMG:style_emoticons/default/finger.gif)

You can take the horns apart and clean them to make them work. There is also a pitch adjustment. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

For new horns go to your local VW shop. Ask for the high and low tone horns, 335Hz and 400Hz. Both horns make you VERY audible (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
