Thanks --- I'll take another look and get back to you

Hi, Thanks for the response --- The lamps are H9 and my model is a 2011 Edge LTD. It has the 'Projector' type headlight so my LED's have only one side.... The latest I have is that as this model has 'projector' headlights the LED should point downwards as when switching to HI beam, the internal shutter goes up and therefore exposes the whole projector reflective surfaces. So pointing the single LED downwards seem to be logical?

Hello All, I've replaced my headlamps with new LED ones and am totally unsure as to how to align the light with the reflectors. My lamps are the 'single' LED type as the Hi/Lo switching is done by a shutter up/down system. It seems that most of what I've read say that the alignment should be 3 O Clock and 9 O Clock but which side is 3 O Clock and which Side is 9 O Clock ? In other words, do the LEDs point towards the inside or outsde of the vehicle? so if anyone can helps I'd be very grateful. Thanks. Mike ( A Complete amatuer)

Thank you all for your responses , negative and positive. The pros and cons of LED systems are interesting (to a layman like myself) to say the least. Either way, for and against, I have what I have and to me, they are better that the originals. I should add that the ( PUTCO SILVER LUX PRO LED's --- Look them up on the PUTCO website) are 'custom made' and pretty darned expensive and not bought from a questionable source...... In fact, their construction is very similar to the NOVSIGHT that one of the other responders mentioned. You guys who live in well lit areas or towns don't have the super dark, deer laden roads that we do so bright lights are an absolute. So, with all your suggestions, I'm pretty sure I've got the alignments correct. Thanks again.....

Hi, PUTCO seems to think that the orientation does make a difference, maybe only a little difference. They do say that bulbs come clocked for typical operations. So any adjustment will be sort of a 'Fine Tuning' type of thing. I think in the absence of positive responses, I may well have to fiddle around and try both positions. If the LED did not have the 'mounting platform' and was exposed like a normal filament/glass lamp then I can see that alignment would not be a factor. But it's that darned mounting platform and any 'shadow effect' that bugs me. But I do value all opinions and I am open to suggestions. Thanks Mike

Hi All, - I am new and not a technician and I need some help. I have a 2011 EDGE LTD with 'Projector' Halogen headlamps. We've had it since new and I have never really been impressed with the brightness of the beams especially up here in Canada where the roads are very dark with poor road markings. Anyway, I have purchased a set of PUTCO SILVER LUX PRO LED's which after some fiddling, I have installed in the Edge. (See link below) ( They are much brighter but I am having some difficulty in 'CLOCKING' them. Putco customer service have been very good in helping out but I don't have a definitive answer as to whether the LED should point DOWN or UP for maximum effectiveness. The advice is basically to try both but this is very intricate. If you look at the link to the PUTCO site above you will see that the LED is mounted on a 'Platform' so there may be a degree of light blocking So, I am wondering if anyone out there has an opinion on this ? LED UP or LED DOWN ? --- Thanks for any assistance Mike So, I am wondering if anyone out there has an opinion on this ? LED UP or LED DOWN ? ---
