Changing Metal halide bulb

[bdesper311]

So having never had metal halides before I have never had to change them before. I still have the stock light in and it has been working for about 4 months, but I bought a new bulb about two months ago and have not gotten around to replacing the stock bulb. My question, does the nipple on the new bulb go face the water or away from the water. It is a DE 150W 14K phenix bulb if that matters. Prolly a stupid question but thanks anyways!
