Question about HID bulb

Just wanted to know, what happens to the light output if you put in an HID upside down?

Here's my sitatuation, my ebay accord fogs cracked. With the recent downpour in rain, they got filled with water and the chrome housing got destroyed in one. I had an extra fog laying around, but this means i know have two left side fogs. So what I did was flip one fog upside down on one side to fit the bezel. Being that its going to be upside down, how will this effect the light output?

You may have your light pointing really upward and blind someone if you flip it upside down.

Since when were hids directional? (Just curious) I've used both D2S and D2R, and neither of them had a L or R designation. Now if you mean you installed the housing upside down, then please just remove the housing, as your light will be thrown up instead of down, whch means all you'll accomplish is blinding on-coming drivers...
