Incorrect Install?

[RosL]

Is there a "WRONG" way to install a blinder head? Is one made to be on the driver side vs passenger side? Is it possible to mount them up side down? Just curious...

Probably depends on the Blinder unit. They do have receiving diodes in the heads and those diodes should probably be closer to the headlights for "most" installs. I can not remember off the top of my head how to determine on which side of the head they are located without looking at them with a camera or infrared filter. It's been posted on this site before though.

No luck finding it... Any other advice/insight from anyone?

If I remember correctly the receiver is on the side opposite that of which the wire goes into the head. The receivers should be placed outward closer to the headlights. To make sure they are not upside-down I just assumed that the stickers on the back should not be unside-down and were readable.

That's correct, only reason I remember is because I remember I mounted mine near the plate with the wires by the plate, receivers outside.

Wires to the inside, this will put the receivers to the outside. It makes a HUGE difference in performance. We found that out at our last testing session.

You already got a Blinder save? That didn't take long.
