How to Align Your LED Bulbs During Install

After installing your new LED headlight bulbs, have you observed that the beam pattern is dreadfully bad? Today, I will show you how to change the best-selling brand of light bulbs. I will also discuss the significance of having a suitable beam pattern. Alright, let's get to work.

Note: The US Department of Transportation (DOT) regulates lamps, reflective devices, and related equipment in the United States. Although these LED lights can replace the original halogen light bulb, using them on cars registered for on-street use is illegal. This kind of alteration is only permitted in jurisdictions outside of the United States, where it is allowed or in fog lighting applications or off-road applications.

First, let's look at a halogen lightbulb. As you can see, this bulb has a wire-wound filament inside and can emit light in all directions. One thing that stands out about all of these LED bulbs is that they only have two sides with LED chips. Thus, it is best to position the LED chips between nine and three o'clock whenever possible.

As you move horizontally, you may observe that the reflectors inside on the low beam—which is directly here—are increasingly common. It will create a horrible beam pattern if you put the bulb up and down since the light will shine off the chrome interior rather than all of those reflectors. That's why it's so crucial. I'll now demonstrate how to change these LED headlight bulbs. Now, let's begin with the SV4. The SV4 comes with an Allen key straight out of the box, and the bulb itself has an Allen screw. You need to relax it. The collar can then be twisted to the desired location.

It is similar to the Diode Dynamics SL1. A Phillips head screwdriver is required in place of the Allen key. However, the procedure is the same. After locating the hole, you remove the collar and release the screw. But remember to tighten it down again. The Xenon Depot lightbulb operates similarly. A little different is the GTR Lighting CSP small bulb. The Allen key will still be used, but this time, you will be adjusting the bulb rather than the collar.

It is fully lockable in all directions. To date, the Morimoto 2Stroke 2.0 has been my personal favorite. There is no need for tools. A pair of bare hands will suffice. You proceed to attach the bulb immediately after, and everything else is pressure-fitted. You merely need to turn the lightbulb till it is in the best position, which is at nine and three o'clock. Here, you can see that the Morimoto 2Stroke bulb is placed correctly.

I'd want to demonstrate now what it will appear like if it is implemented incorrectly. Even if the beam pattern is not too bad, it will still not be functional. When it looks up and down, let's show you what it will look like. This beam pattern is dreadful, as you can see, and it's a typical way to install an LED headlight bulb, which is something you don't want to do.

Then, let's return this to the proper nine and three configuration. An appropriate beam pattern should resemble this. You're going for just this: a condensed beam pattern that looks pretty good. The LED headlight bulb replacement is now clear to you. I am so grateful that you are watching.
