Uhhhh.....
Worst. Install. Ever lol
The heads need to have a completely clear view of the road ahead (not blocked and need to be sticking out slightly for off axis shots) and be level vertically, horizontal and aim straight down the road with no toe in/out.
I would suggest looking at the install thread for pictures on how everyone else has placed the heads.

That is one of the worst installs I have seen. You will not have any protection with that install.

i had the heads set back on audi q5 in the grill and they tested ok, suggest testing first before moving them, they are better than what people think, they have a clear view of the road, off axis testing needed

You'll get a warning alert most likely, but that's only a notice you are about to be pulled over.
You have almost 100 % blockage of the IR output from the Sensor diode b/c of where it is placed behind the grill lattice work. - The Police will eat you alive with this install !

Thanks guys. I downloaded the picture Tom gave me and was originally the way the install was planned; however, during the reading of the instructions and everything this is what the came up with for "stealth
install". My concern was off axis shots with this set up. They are going to move the heads forward and flush with the grill inserts. Working on a photo...They are placed in the locations Tom suggested...left, middle, right inserts... just need to be flushed outside of the grill
What kind of vehicle is this?
Do the three sensors need to be flush with the front of the grille inserts or flush with the grill trim to be most effective?
