    help with installation

    Hey guys, I am new to this whole thread thing. I am looking for some feedback on the perfect placement of 3 ALP sensors on a Toyota tundra. I was advised 3 should be enough to cover the entire front however, not so sure it really covers the entire thing. I can't install between the grille as shown in the pic because it's part of the hood. I am thinking about installing them in a little crevice below the hood. My worry is not having coverage on the headlights since they will be installed lower. Any input would be helpful. Thanks :frusty:

    I would NOT put them in the bottom of the bumper, There good but not that good LoL, You would need to put them in the upper portion.... if that is NOT an option then i would suggest putting in the lower and get tested right away to be sure.
    But i really dont think there going to cover you down there

    if the grill is part of the hood...can you run the wires down along the (underside of) hood, down the hinges to the firewall. So opening and closing the hood is an option.

    I'd be afraid that impact of closing the hood would adversely affect the heads (placement going out of whack overtime)..

    I suppose that if you close the hood gently, it shouldn't matter..
