It usually is facing downwards, the only projector I know of that requires the ground wire to be facing up is the RS6 Bixenon projector

Thanks for the reply. Yes...normally...the return wire is facing down. But I found this...for the H7 HID bulb...where is may face up or down in a projector housing.

^ If you are planning on installing a kit in your projectors then I suggest going with the one with return wire towards the bottom. Having it upwards would effect the output.
