Need some suggestions for M27 head mounting

**yamaha1** · 04-25-2010, 04:53 PM

After a road side conversation with a county sheriff this weekend, which ended VERY well...luckily, I realized it was too much of a close call and finally pulled the trigger on a M27. The new Blinder will be arriving on Tuesday and I will be anxious to get it installed.

I know you all get a ton of these questions, but I would like some advise on the best possible mounting location for my car. Typically, I see everyone suggests the upper grill area, my concern is that the heads are going to be so close together that they will not effectively protect the headlights.

What do you guys think?
My car is black as opposed to the photo being silver, but it is the same year and model.

Yikes, that's a tough one. I don't see any ideal options on that car. Possibly your best bet with two heads would be in the upper part of the fog light cut-outs. That's dangerously low though, and I'd feel more comfortable with a third head in the middle of the upper grille.

Thanks for your input SS! I agree having a third head here would probably simplify things a bit and help with coverage to boot.

I eventually intend to add 2 more heads to this system, but right now the funds are just not available, if they were I most certainly would have went with the M47!

I did a little more investigating, and looking at the car found that the area marked in this photo would not be a difficult install as the steel bumper is just below this area. However it would require the bumper cover to be cut out to fit the heads and should provide better coverage of the headlights and front plate area (should one get installed...).

Thoughts?

Before you make the cut, you better be sure your gonna be happy with the results as your stuck with them. I personally will go 2 heads next to the fog lights and 1 head in the upper grill. You don't have wrap headlights so it makes it easier to protect that front end. Your install must be perfectly leveled and squared to the road to have a good chance of consistant JTG.
