Here's the other thing worth thinking about.

In my case, I/we believe the issue behind what's going on in my setup is because the receivers are too far apart from CM. Here's a huge problem

I just measured (the same setup that gave me grief and BEFORE I flip the heads as per above) a few distances worth mentioning

1) Middle of car to middle of each receiving bubble in the standard ALP head: 12.5"
2) Middle of receiving bubble in standard head to middle of headlight: 12.5"

This means my receiver is currently "perfectly" positioned to receive a hit for CM and the headlight assembly.

By moving the receivers closer together, my concern (logically) is that if I get hit on the headlight then I'm toast, but if I get hit at CM then I'll be fine.
