How do I install Rainbow Strobes...

For use in headlights using P43t base (H-4) style headlight bulbs

The Rainbow Strobe is a dichroic filter that is made to fit over the bulb in headlights using the P43t base and H-4 halogen bulbs. It gives a soft, halo-like, colorful aura around the bulb in the headlight housing. IT DOES NOT BLOCK ANY OF THE LIGHT OUTPUT FROM THE FRONT OF THE HEADLIGHT!! All light lumens are still projected on the road ahead.

RAINBOW STROBE UNIT INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
--BE SURE HEADLIGHT IS OFF AND COOL--

1. Remove wiring socket and dust boot, (if any), from rear of headlamp

2. Carefully remove the bulb by releasing spring retaining clip (not shown)

and note the orientation of the bulb's side tabs to the socket

NEVER TOUCH THE QUARTZ (GLASS) PORTION OF THE BULB WITH BARE HANDS--
OIL FROM FINGERTIPS WILL CAUSE EARLY BULB FAILURE

3. Insert the Rainbow Strobe into the bulb socket at rear of headlight housing, orienting the three tabs (like the bulbs tabs) to align with the notches in the socket

4. Replace the headlight bulb behind the Rainbow Strobe, and fasten the spring retaining clip

NOTE: The spring clip may require a bit more pressure to compensate for the extra metal thickness of the Rainbow Strobe unit.

5. Reinstall the dust boot and attach the wiring socket
