if you are looking at the drivers side, you have to bash in the wheel well at about the 9 o'clock position.... passanger side vice-versa right about the "3 o'clock" position...

I understood 9 o'clock position for the driver's side and 3 o'clock for the passenger's side (while standing behind the car looking towards the front)?
