Angry Heated Grips Problem

A quick search on this came up empty, so I hope it isn't old news. I just installed the Triumph heated grips on my 955 Tiger and the picture of the conector blocks in the directions was a mirror image! That's right, backwards!
The relationship of the conector blocks/tunnels to each other, and the wire colors to the respective tunnels are all O.K. so if you slow Waaayyyy down you can reason your way through it. It's darn near impossible to get the wires back out if you get them wrong (I did it with a Dentist's pick).

Hey Harv, how are you liking your Tiger? I've found Gerbing's heated gloves to be even better than heated grips when it's really cold.

Heated grips

I've got both (Gerbing's and heated grips). I doubt if I'd need both with the Triumph handguards. I'm an OF, and don't handle cold well.
I've been cold and I've been warm. Warm is better.
