#8 x ½” sheet metal screw
to attach Mirror Beam™ to
mirror assembly.
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.
Position the remaining 6” strip below the assembly as shown.
IMPORTANT:
The angle of the Mirror Beam™ housing is such that
attention is required to insure that the entire length of tape is in contact with the mounted Mirror Beam™ housing. Adjust the tape
location until this is achieved.
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 edge
of the plastic mirror assembly as shown in Figure 3. Trim and remove the exposed tape.
6.
Mount the Mirror Beam™ housing onto the mirror assembly as shown.
The housing must fully engage the mirror assembly.
7.
The 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 5, and gently remove it completely from the tape strip. Do not
allow the strip to tear while being removed.
8.
Repeat for the tape strip on the bottom of the assembly.
9.
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.
10. 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.
Re-assembling the Mirror Beam™:
1.
Re-install the mirror assembly to the vehicle door using the factory hardware.
2.
Re-connect the mirror assembly to it’s main power harness. Route the MirrorBeam harness through the door, along the same path
as the vehicle’s main power harness. Connect to a sw12VDC power source. Install a 3 Amp fuse (customer supplied) within
2 wire feet of this source
3.
Cut the non-insulated wire off the strobe harness. Insert the PIN terminals into the provided connector according to the tag included
with the cable. 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.
