This can't be right, right? Hopefully you can tell from the pictures, but the bulbs are slanted toward the center of the car.

I have the same model in my low beams and they've been great, but I know that in reflector housings, LED bulbs are supposed to be oriented so that the LEDs are facing directly left and right; horizontally.

Has anyone seen this before with their high beams? Will they be fine?

Edit: added pictures.

Is it possible to adjust the ring on the headlight housing? I looked at the ring on the bulb, but it's screws in at one spot and I'm not going to try to tap a new screwhole in the right location.

I figured Sealight just assembled these incorrectly, but wouldn't it be odd to get two bulbs both assembled wrong like this?

I guess I'll reach out to Sealight customer service tomorrow to see what they say.

most LEDs have adjustable rings for this exact reason, that screw is to adjust the base, undo it and you can easily turn the base around for your need and tighten the screw. 99% of LEDs are "universal" fitment so you need to adjust each bulb for specific car
Watch here how to do it

Hmm. I'll take them back out and see if I can reposition them. Thanks for the video.

I used Aukey 9005's, they have a tiny allen-head screw (even came with a tiny allen wrench) to clock them correctly.

Did you ever figure this out? I have the same bulbs, and I don’t know how to adjust them. I have the Sealight X2.
