Installed Leds, but seem to not be working correctly

I'm gonna move the wifes car and aim the truck at the wall. How do i tell if i am blinding others? I take it just go drive and see, or is their something I can look for up close?

Sure they do, all of the bulbs have a set screw that allows you to rotate the bulb freely from the base, that's why these LED's are different. Out of the box they may not line up (3 and 9 positions) but that's what the set screw is for

The h13s have the set screw, you are right. I posted a pic of the h10 though and you can this bulb does not rotate. Don't know how else to put it to you, it does not rotate.

I'll check again, but the other bulbs actually had a rotator adjustment to make sure they were installed right. I'll see if maybe their is something I'm missing here.

ALL of the bulbs have set screws. That photo if of an H10/9005 you posted...
The H13 have a similar adjuster. Some of the H13 have a set screw (like the H10 above) SOME you can just turn and they use a little ball bearing.

I figured it out, the thing is I was looking for the same black rotator adjustment that the h13s had. I appreciate all the help guys, I must say just during the day alone that these things look incredible. Just like an hid, maybe better. I'll report back when I see the light output at night.
Anyone comparing the 2 like I was, trust me. I can't speak for longevity, but they seem like the smarter choice.

Yes, they are much better than HID's. I hated the cut-off the HID's provided. I liked the spread and throw of halogen and the LED has the brightness of HID and the spread and throw of halogen. Its the best of both.
I am glad you figured it out. I did not need to re-aim my heads. My daughter got in her Grand Prix GT (we live in a small town) and we approached each other twice around the block and she said they were fine, not blinding at all.
