headlight aim (side to side?) LED bulbs
 
i installed led head LED headlight bulbs (awesome output) I aimed the up and down but lights seams to be aimed to much to the middle and would like to adjust them a little so the output is spread apart a little more then what it is, so is there a way to adjust the side to side?

I just bought LEDs for my high beams and the lamp is index-able. I installed them with the LED chips on the top and bottom, and this made the light pattern a spot that wasn't aimed correctly. I turned the lamp so that the chips are on the sides now, the tip of the lamp perfectly vertical. Now the pattern is normal and normally aimed.

Could this be your issue?

MikeGyver, i just pulled my headlight and bench tested turning the bulb in the housing and the best pattern is the led on each side (the way the bulb installed originally) i cant find any horizontal adjustment on the truck or back of the headlight

the light output is way better then stock halogen i can finally see whats in front of me just i'd like the pattern to be a little more spread out but still pleased with the upgrade

Show pics of the lights I would like to see the output ive thought about LEDs for awhile HIDs can be a pain.

This is the only pic I have on hand, it was when I first installed them and my son wanted to see what they looked like. I'll take some later tonight for you

I have them installed now for about a week probably over 100 miles of night driving no one has flashed me or any thing, the lights is more controlled then HID's and i love the instant on
