What are you clocking for vertical fog light led bulbs at?

I have the fahren termitor 20k 120 watt led and clocked them at 9 and 3 o'clock. I feel like Mitch of the beam is coming out to the sides. If I clock it at 12 and 6 would I get a more centered farther fog light beam?

All led bulbs should be aimed so the actual leds face 3 and 9. Fog lights are not designed to send light far. The are designed to light up a wide beam relatively close so you can see the road in front of you when the weather is bad. If you aim the leds at 12 and 6 you will not get the proper throw and run the risk of scattered light blinding oncoming traffic.

I treated my fog lights the same as my headlights, 3 and 9...turned out well so I left them like that. I am using the Auxito led bulbs, amazing!

Cheers.

Is this 3 & 9 O'Clock relative to the driver seat or facing the truck?

It doesn't make a difference, left and right they face not up and down.
Heres a link to someone testing out each clock.

Ha, every time I've read about headlight clocking I've been thinking 30°, not 3 o-clock.
Yes 3 & 6 are left n right, regardless of how your looking at it.

Thanks for the clarification.

Does that hold true for Headlights also? High & Low beams.

It always from the drivers seat,that also applies to either left hand or right hand drive vehicles.That's the industry standard.

How do you clock the bulb? Do you have to file out segments on the plastic twist lock?
