Did it along time ago, I used Hella sharp tone, similar upgrade that folk do on their scubies.
Reason why I chose the sharp tone is the low amperage means I could just make a small loom up and plug into the OE horn plug, didn’t need to add relays to get complicated. Everything else I looked at requires a relay for the increase in current.
Access can be obtained be the top panel, just flexing enough to get your arm in without taking the bumper off.

Hi I've just purchased a pair of Hella sharp tones the same as yours.
but I can't see what type of connectors you have used at the end of loom. 
I've took old horn off and it looks like it's pin connectors are needed unless the oem  plug pulls apart,
Hope you understand  what I'm on about .
Regards
Don

Spade connectors fit the receptacle on the car and heat shrink.
a small loom is add to connect the two together also with spade terminals

You must have snapped off the upper panel to get full access to take those photos of your newly installed horn. Am I right?
