Affixing the Mirror-Beam™
Housing to the Mirror Assembly:
The following procedure requires that the mirror
assembly be no colder than 60°F (18°C).
1.
Thoroughly clean the plastic mirror assembly and
the inside surface of the Mirror-Beam housing
using a 50/50 mixture of isopropyl alcohol (do not
use rubbing alcohol) and water. Dry completely.
2.
Locate the two, 6” strips of double-sided adhesive
tape included.
3.
Position one 6” strip on the top of the mirror
assembly. When properly positioned, the top
piece will be centered between the inboard and
outboard ends of the mirror assembly and the
leading edge of the tape will be set back
approximately 1/4” from the rear (mirror side)
edge of the assembly. After the tape is positioned,
it is important to apply pressure to the protective
backing so that the tape adheres to the surface.
4.
Cut the remaining 6” length of tape in half. Using the procedure outlined in the previous step, adhere one 3” length of tape to the
outside end and the other 3” length to the bottom of the mirror assembly (Fig. 5).
5.
Fold the protective backing strips on the top, bottom and outside tape strips so that 1/2” to 3/4” of backing is extended over the rear
edge of the plastic mirror assembly. Trim and remove the exposed tape. Remove the protective backing from the tape strip on the
“outside” of the mirror.
6.
Mount the Mirror-Beam housing onto the mirror assembly as shown.
The housing must fully engage the mirror assembly.
Press
the housing firmly onto the exposed tape on the “outside” of the mirror.
7.
The remaining protective backing strips must now be removed. To accomplish this, the housing must not be in contact with the
backing strips. Starting with the top strip, and using a small, flat blade screwdriver (or similar tool) gently pry the housing about 1/4”
away from the mirror assembly. Carefully pull the protective strip “tab” created in step 6, and gently remove it completely from the
tape strip. Do not allow the strip to tear while being removed. Repeat for the tape strip on the bottom of the assembly.
8.
Apply pressure to the Mirror-Beam assembly at the tape locations. Maintain pressure for a minimum of 20 minutes to allow the tape
to properly setup. This can be accomplished by wrapping the Mirror-Beam/mirror assembly tightly with adhesive tape. See important
adhesion information at the end of this manual.
9.
Locate the factory-drilled hole in the Mirror-Beam housing. Using a 1/8” drill bit and the Mirror-Beam housing as a template, drill a
hole into the mirror housing. Locate the #8 x 1/2” sheet metal screw (included) and secure the Mirror-Beam housing to the mirror
housing.
Reassembling the Mirror-Beam:
1.
Reinstall the mirror assembly to the vehicle door using the factory hardware.
2.
Reconnect the mirror assembly to its main power harness. Route the Mirror-Beam harness through the door, along the same path as
the vehicle’s main power harness and finally to the strobe power supply. For LED lightheads, refer to the diagrams on the following
page. Cut the non-insulated wire off the strobe harness. Insert the PIN terminals into the provided connector (see “Routing the wire
harness). Insert plug into power supply and confirm proper lighthead operation.
WARNING! The tape adhesive used in this procedure is fully bonded after 72 hours @ 70°F (21°C). During this
period, do not expose the Mirror-Beam to any un-necessary force, such as the high-pressure water
from a car wash.
WARNING! The strobe light power supply is a high voltage device. Do not remove the strobe tubes or dismantle
the strobe lightheads while the unit is in operation. Wait 10 minutes after turning off power before
starting any work or troubleshooting on the system.
The outer surfaces of this product may be
cleaned with mild soap and water. Use of
any other chemicals may void product
warranty. Do not use a pressure washer.
