Led bulb positioning

[Muybig]

Question when you install a LED replacement bulb on the head lights how should the LED be positioned: horizontally or perpendicular to the ground. I ask this question because on my previous bike there was a position due to light deflector design.

Thanks

The instructions that came with my Cyclops LED bulbs say for best lighting the tab should be in the 7 o’clock position.

I’ve had LED’s for years on multiple motorcycles and through trial and error discovered they work best in the perpendicular position. Little difficult to see unless you expand the view.

Thank you both - looks like my original comments where not far off

NP- Looks to be a bit of adjustment you can do to get the high-low cut off just right ..see attached.

My Honda Goldwing uses the same H7 bulbs but Honda has a notch that the tab fits into so the bulb will only fit in that one position..

The c14 Concours is similar very limited adjustment options ..
bulb has to be vertical w but a few degrees of adjustment..but those few degrees are crucial to take the time to get just right for proper high low beam ..you want a crisp low beam cut off to not hinder approaching vehicle night vision.
