What I don't understand, though, is how "left" becomes "right" when you open the hood, but the front doesn't become the rear. If the alternator moves to the left, shouldn't the headlights move to the rear?

The PO did not exactly do this but I think it is acceptable to say something is to the left or right of something as long as you say what position you are viewing from.
Even though you are supposed to decide right or left as if you are sitting in the Drivers Seat; ask a bunch of People which side of the Car their Battery is on.
I am going to guess 50% of the time People are going to reference that from a view Standing in Front of the Radiator (if the Radiator is in the Front) looking towards the rear of the Car.
I think it is because they see the Battery that way when the Open the Hood.
