Default Q about Hella Micros. The cutoff inside the light covers the BOTTOM part of the light when oriented

correctly, this is the exact opposite of what logic would suggest. The directions say the word "hella" on the front of the lenses should be upright. W/ it upright, the cutoff inside the light will eliminate the LOWER portion of the light. Isn't the idea of foglights the opposite of that? Don't I want the cutoff at the top?

Anyone else install these and know what I am eluding to?

It's a projector, so the light pattern is flipped.

Default I had a feeling that might be the case. Thanks for confirming Kris!

The kit was discounted and came w/out wiring harnesses etc so I thought maybe it was defective set or something.
