6.
Fold the protective backing strips on the top, bottom and
outboard tape strips so that 1/2” to 3/4” of backing is
extended over the edge of the mirror assembly (or the mold
seam, in the case of the bottom tape). Trim and remove the
exposed tape.
7.
Mount the MirrorBeam housing onto the mirror assembly.
The housing must fully engage the mirror assembly!
8.
Remove the protective backing strips. To accomplish this, the
housing can not be in contact with the backing strips. Starting
with the outboard strip, and using a small, flat blade
screwdriver (or similar tool) gently pry the housing 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.
9.
Repeat for the tape strips on the top and bottom of the
assembly.
10. Apply pressure to the MirrorBeam 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 MirrorBeam/mirror assembly tightly with
adhesive tape. See important adhesion information at the
end of this manual.
11. Locate the factory-drilled hole in the MirrorBeam housing.
Using a 1/8” drill bit and the MirrorBeam housing as a
template, drill a hole into the mirror housing. Locate the #8 x
1/2” sheet metal screw (included) and secure the MirrorBeam
housing to the mirror housing.
Re-assembling the Mirrorbeam:
1.
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 and connect
to power (See wiring diagrams on next page).
•
FOR LED, connect to a sw12VDC power source.
Install a 3 Amp fuse (customer supplied) within 2 wire
feet of this source.
•
FOR STROBE, cut the non-insulated wire off the strobe
harness. Insert the PIN-type terminals into the provided
connector. Insert plug into power supply and confirm
proper operation.
2.
Using the original hardware, remount the mirror onto the
vehicle.
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
MirrorBeam to any un-necessary force,
such as a high-pressure car wash.
WARNING! The strobe power supply is a high voltage
device. Do not touch or remove the strobe
tube assembly while in operation. Wait at
least 10 minutes after disconnecting power
before starting work on the power supply or
system.
