Alpharex headlights bulb position

So my headlights don’t project very far. I called Alpharex and they said LEDs had to be positioned at 2 and 8. Is this right?
I know he works for the company, but just want to make sure he didn’t have a brain fart and meant 3 and 9. (Which I already did, but lights don’t shine far)

I have the pro-series.
Anyone else have this issue?

 

The Leds should face the curvature of the reflector.

 

sorry, don’t know what that means.

 

Ok those are projector housings. Are the bulbs that you are replacing halogens that are in the low beams?

 

I replaced halogens with LEDs.

I thought the chips of the flat surface were supposed to face 3 and 9 o’clock.

 

I’m having trouble getting the sequential blinkers to work. Any advice?

 

I had to call Alpharex for help. it was a year ago so I don’t remember what they told me, unfortunately

 

Yes, I found it impossible to get decent performance out of my Alpharex Pros with LED lamps installed - I tried three or four different designs, all high quality lamps, installed in various orientations. I finally ditched the LEDs and installed some high wattage Hella halogens.

 

In your opinion, are the halogens better for the pros?

 

Yes, that would be my opinion. From my perspective, LEDs in reflector housing are just a workaround and as with any workaround, your mileage will vary. The Pros were designed for halogens, so they naturally work better.

 

Don’t your headlights come with a projector?

 

Yes, sorry I mis-stated - Alpharex Pros are (halogen) projectors. Projectors designed for the design of halogen lamps. LEDs in halogen projectors are a workaround, just as LEDs in reflectors are a workaround.

Thanks for calling that out & getting it cleared up.
