Beamtech H13 setup?

My lights came in today, I see they include a Allen wrench, what is the proper installation of these bulbs? I would like to install them one time.

Do they only install one way? Does the flat part sit top/bottom? Or left/right? Can someone take a picture of them installed?

theres a bunch of threads with how to install these. They should be fine right out of the box. If I remember right, they need to be straight north and south.

Only go one way. The lights should be at 9 and 3. I didn't have to use the Allen on mine.

I had to use the allen wrench on one bulb out of 4. But upon reflection after the install it may have been installer error.
But as stated, point the chips exactly to the 3 and 9 o'clock positions. The photo below is not Beamtech brand, but it's the same orientation.

yeah, that’s what I meant about north and south, you guys said it better. The chips are at 9 and 3.

And when you remove the factory bulbs, make sure the o-ring seal comes out also.

One of mine out of the box needed to be adjusted to match the 9 and 3 positioning of the LEDs.

They fit snug for sure.
