    This video was a huge help! When I originally installed the LED bulbs in my projectors I did notice the light output and pattern seemed offset. But assumed that’s just how they are since it’s not HIDs. And then when I saw this video about LED bulbs oriented to 9 & 3. I went back to check my bulbs and sure enough they were unaligned. So I had to readjust them to 9 & 3 position. And now the light beams look just like your example of properly aligned bulbs. Thank you and God bless you Po! 🙏🏼

    I have had a few different LED bulbs that were clockable, wasn't too fond of most of them as the design would allow them to slip out of adjustment when being installed because of the mounting tabs sometimes not being in tolerance with the housing slots, and causing the locking collars to slip. As someone who test out various lights myself, I know about clocking, but for those who don't, you have made a very educational, informative video. Not everyone who makes a video on UA-cam knows what they are talking about.... thanks for helping people by being someone who does. 👏

    I tried using the 9&3 headlight setting on my Civic UFO, and while it did make the road brighter for me, I noticed that it could potentially glare into the eyes of any drivers coming towards me. So, I decided to switch to the 12&6 setting instead, as it seemed safer for everyone on the road. With the 12&6 setting, I could still see the road clearly, but without causing any inconvenience or danger to other drivers. Even my wife agreed that the 12&6 setting was the better choice for the safety of all road users, especially those coming towards us. But lastly for the down fog lights 9&3 are the best as you are not blocking any upcoming driver because your lights are mostly facing down when driving on streets

  • @HyperF1

    I’ve installed similar type of leds on a 2016 honda crv fog lights 9 to 3, but I still blind upcoming traffic that way! The fog lights are reflectors, is the 12 to 6 way should change that or what can I do to fix it?

    • @goPatChannel
      @goPatChannel  Рік тому +4

      Hi JC Rosario thank you for watching. IMHO LED's are not designed for reflector headlights and fog lights. Due to the LED's high intensity brightness, it produces unwanted glare. One way to reduce the glare is to tilt down the beam angle. Reflector fog lights are designed to project a scattered light. Installing high lumens bulb will definitely cause discomfort to the on coming traffic.

    • @jaxturner7288
      @jaxturner7288 10 місяців тому +1

      If the bulb number and color is the same then it doesn’t matter, it’s position on the vehicle will ultimately decide if it is functioning as a fog light or a high beam and the reflector it’s installed behind dictates the light pattern so you can ignore the “fog” label.
