Unpacking & Pre-installation
After unpacking the items, carefully inspect the contents for damage that may have occurred during transit. If
any item is damaged, please contact the carrier immediately.
To test the operation of the product before installation follow the directions given below:
RDL2SF , RDL1SF, RDL1SB - Self-contained L.E.D. lighting units can be tested by inserting the cigarette
plug-in of the power cord into an appropriate +12 Vdc socket.
If the vehicle has an electrical system other than +12 Vdc, contact your local representative or call the
Electronics Technical Assistance HOTLINE at (314)996-2800 for instructions.
Installation & Mounting
The Rear View Mirrow lights are designed to be mounted to the wind-
shield or rear window of your vehicle. The following instructions must
be followed to insure that the unit is mounted correctly. Attach the (1)
set of suction cups to (1) of the mounting bracket (see Fig. 1 for orien-
tation) with the #10 self tapping screws, do not overtighten the screws.
Next, fasten the bracket without suction cups with (2) #10-24 machine
screws, #10 lock washers and #10-24 nuts, but do not tighten the nuts
at this time. Mount the bracket assemblies to the rear of the RVM unit
with the (4)¼-20 carriage bolts and kep nuts, make sure one bolt
captures the tether cord between the bracket and the case as illus-
trated in Fig. 1. After the bracket assembly is fastened to the unit,
adjust the bracket without suction cups so that the unit will be level with the ground
when mounted to the windshield. Be certain that the vehicle is on level ground be-
fore adjusting the bracket. Also try to keep the unit as close to the windshield as
possible.This can be adjusted by sliding the bracket assembly up or back on the unit
before tightening it down. When the angle is set, tighten all screws and nuts. See
Fig. 1 for assembly illustration. Once the unit is mounted on the windshield, locate a
place to mount other end of the tether cord. Depending on where the unit is mounted,
the tether cord can be attached anywhere on the dash or to the roof of the vehicle,
as long as it is into sheet metal. Hold the free end of the tether cord in position and
verify that the LED unit cannot reach the passenger or driver. Then, attach the
tether cord to this section of sheet metal (not to plastic or rubber). Note: When
removing the unit from the windshield be sure to release the suction cups by lifting
the tabs on each suction cup. If the unit is pulled off the windshield, it could result in
stripping out the holes in the suction cups.
