Default LED Headlight Orientation



What orientation do you guys have for the led bulbs? I don’t know what rotation I should put it at.

Are we talking about the low beam lights or high beam lights?

We are talking about the low beams. I don't care for the orientation on the high beams, since I won't be using them.

Some shops have equipment to spot the beams. I gave up on doing it myself as I was never happy and constantly looking for a better spotting.

Leds have an issue with shadow. They may give you more challenge than most.

I can agree with the shadow. But do you know how to fix the beam? I tried using the silver/gray **** between the low and high beams but it seems like it doesn’t work??

What do you mean it doesn't work? It works on mine.

I just don’t see the beam pattern moving.
