Question ¿¿?? Leading / Trailing coil Question ??¿¿

Ok I need to know about the rx7 coils Leading/Trailing.
The one closest to the headlights is the Leading or the Trailing ? The one closest to the steering wheel is Leading or Trailing ? Also for the Leading or Trailing lets say the coil looks like this --> [1/2] would 1 go to the left plug or the right plug ect. That is basicly what I need to know is if they were switched up wrong. Because on one coil 1 is going to the right plug and on the other coil 1 is going to the left plug.

leading is up front
numbers on the coil covers (T1, T2, etc..) dictate plug position...
just match these numbers to the numbers on the rotor housings, front housing being 1

the one right next to the battery is the leading and the one near your strut tower is the trailing....lLeading 1 to the left,......Leading 2 to the right, as lon as it is not 1 to the left bottom and on to any top......remember leading, lower.....trailing top.....

leading coil is near the head light, traling near the brake boster. L1 goes to the lower plug on the front rotor,L2 lower plug on the back rotor.T1&T2 are the same but the upper plug. Front rotor is the one closest to the fan. I checked it on my own s5 n/a so feel free to correct me if i'm wrong but my car runs just fine.

Ok I now know that Leading is the bottom and Trailing is the top. I need to know where the L1 and T1 are positioned on the engine looking from the drivers side.

T1 is on top of front rotor housing
L1 is on bottom
T2 is on top of aft rotor housing
L2 on bottom
I can't make it much easier than that...
