Default truck-lite LED headlights

Has anyone with the Truck-lite LED headlights ever flipped the lights upside down, so that the low beam is on the bottom rather then the top? I feel bad for blinding vehicles at night and was curious as to whether the light coverage for turning them upside down would be affected for night time driving.

That video is of the older gen Truck-Light head lights. The new ones are much better.

And to the OP, if you turn them upside down, your light pattern will suck. There is a good reason they have a top and a bottom. Just aim them and you will be golden.

I do have the aimed properly, i was just curious if it would affect the lighting. I still get high beamed all the time, and then when i flash mine to show them they're not on high people look at me stupid. I always pulled up to a car full of kids, and they turn around like retards and look into them and are instantly retina burned. I had a group of girls do that when i first got them and i could read on their lips they worded the sentence "holy shit those things are bright"

No. There is only correct way to install and aim these fine headlights.
I am shocked to think that anyone turn them upside down.

no, You can't turn them upside down.

The reason why they're build this way is that the low beam (top portion) has the LED pointing to the back of the light, in the reflector, which throw the light downward, vice versa for the high beam. There's nothing you can do.
