Default When installing new d2s bulbs, does orientation matter? I've read the filament should be on the
bottom.

True? Or does it not matter?

Thanks,

I think it does matter. Seems like everyone who put them in with it up had little projection.

Default It shouldn't. They are non-directional. I guess better safe then sorry, so put them
in the way you've been told...

Default I've just read several posts on here about people putting new bulbs in and having little light
then come to find out it was because the bulb was in upside down.

Default Not disagreeing with you, I guess I put mine both in right side up by sheer luck. I'm
just trying to figure out why a non-directional bulb would need to be orientated a certain way. <Shrugs>

Default ask Casa *S4* King. he's the HID expert. I just know that several people on
this forum have been able to install them upside down. I'm not sure how, but they did.
