Spectrum – Light Mirrors
Page 3 of 4
Step 7
| Remove OE mirrors from door.
*
Pro Tip:
If planning to run cable
for new light mirror through door, and if existing mirrors are power mirrors,
attach a string or wire to factory wire before feeding it through door and
leave string/wire inside door (one end on interior side, one end on exterior
side) after mirror is removed. Then when running new cable through door,
attach end of new cable to string and feed it through door by pulling
string/wire back through. *
Step 8
| Determine cable routing. Jeeps with factory heated, power
mirrors will have a third hole in outer door skin that new light mirror
cable will feed through. Jeeps with factory manual mirrors will either
need a third hole added, or to route cable elsewhere (possibly through
the cowl and firewall).
If routing cable through door, feed cable from mirror through Door
Mount Arm and down through Door Plate to match up with hole in
door.
*
Pro Tip:
It may be helpful to feed something (long zip tie or
guide wire) up through the Door Plate and Arm first, then attach end
of cable to guide object to help direct cable to correct route. * Seal
hole on backside of door plate where cable exits with silicone sealant
(to prevent water from entering door). If original mirrors are manual
and routing cable through door is desired, add an additional hole for
cable routing. Feed cable through door (see Pro Tip in Step 6) and
insert standoffs into door and attach using original M8 bolts (tighten
to 10 ft-lbs).
If routing cable through different location (other than through door), do
not feed cable through Door Mount arm. Insert standoffs into door
and attach using original M8 bolts (tighten to 10 ft-lbs).
Note
| Route wire avoiding sharp or abrasive edges and provide
enough slack for movement of mirror and door. Use grommets or
protective sheathing where needed. For best results it is
recommended to wire through a fused circuit accompanied by a relay.
White wire (+12v) = Lights power
Black wire = Ground
Step 9
| Adjust light mirror to preferred angle and then tighten adjustment
bolt to desired firmness.
Do not exceed 30 in/lb.
(Note: After assembly is
complete, it may be necessary to loosen the set screw in order to access the
ball pivot stiffness adjustment bolt to tighten or loosen it as needed. Be sure
to retorque set screw to 5.7 – 7.5 ft-lbs.
