I read that the leds need to be side to side in the housing

Any LED headlight bulbs placed in the stock housing that I've read about indicate that the LED chips should face directly right and left, or at the 3 and 9 o'clock positions. And they should face directly that way. Any variation will cause an incorrect pattern.
The Beamtech instructions for my bulbs indicate that for the correct orientation. Well over a year with them and no problems except they needed to be adjusted slightly downward so as not to blind others.

Waiting on my new Fanless Beamtechs. Is your truck stock or lifted?

This weekend I was going to mark the beam pattern from my stock lights on garage doors to have a baseline or do I assume the LED's will need to be adjusted lower due to a higher output?

Stock wheels but I went with 325/65R18, up from the stock 275/65 tires. So tire height went from 32.1 to 34.6. No lift, no level.
As far as the lights, it's hard to tell where they were aimed from the factory. I lowered mine all the way down back in March because I was towing a trailer from the NY/Canada border to Florida for vacation and it pointed the nose slightly upward. The lights were perfect with the trailer but now point too far downward for me with the trailer unhooked. I used the instructions in the owner's manual to adjust them.

I use v.4's. Once dialed-in they provide great low-beam brightness and distance without being flashed. High beams are amazing. I rate the v.4's equal or better for brightness and distance compared to OEM LED's on my F150.

I confirmed with SuperNova the mounting of the LED's should point to the 3 and 9 position

Also wondered if anyone noticed blooming with the front camera engaged and the truck less than 5 feet from a light colored wall? Thought it was the LED's so I put the factory bulbs back - still saw the blooming.


Drawing for reference



Blooming / reflection
