    I'm confused. You say the city light is aligned with the bottom adjuster, but aren't city lights supposed to be at the top of the light? That's how they are with Stock Euro ellipsoids anyway. The lights aren't mounted upside down are they?

      City lights can be in the middle, bottom, top...etc. I think they look better the closer they are to the middle so they illuminate the entire housing instead of just the edge like euro ellipsoids.

        On these Cibie's they are at the bottom.

        Boy, it would be frustrating to have done this entire project only to find out they were mounted upside down! They have locator tabs that make them somewhat idiot-resistant, plus the logo/lettering on them helps determine top from bottom.
