Clearance light aiming

I've seen several helpful posts re: installing clearance lights. However, what I have not seen clearly, is how to orient the lights. Do all 5 lights point straight ahead, parallel to each other? Or, do they all point towards the curvature of the windshield. IE, do the outboard light point out towards the side a little, and as you get closer to the center of the roof, the lights straighten out. Does anyone have factory installed lights that can clarify this? I've seen them ionstalled both ways, but I obviously want to get this right the first time (there's no turning back once you've started drilling!).
