ULB9S Mounting
Front Windshield Adhesive Mount
1. The hood can be installed such that the
cord can exit either side.
Route the cord through the appropriate
slot and slide the hood onto the back of
the light until the hooks on the hood
“latch” onto the light.
2. If desired, install the rubber gasket along the edge of the hood
to help reduce vibration against the window, as well as to
allow for minor adjustments to the curvature of the window.
3. Hold the light up to your windshield to test fit the best location for the light, typically high
on the windshield touching the headliner.
4. Clean and dry windshield. (clean with alcohol if necessary)
DO NOT MOUNT ON DEFROSTER LINES!!
5. Remove the tape liner from both brackets on the light.
6. Place light in the chosen location pressing firmly on the brackets ensuring maximum
contact and adhesion.
7. With the brackets in place and secure, loosen both nuts only enough to slide the light
snugly against the windshield and then retighten.
CAUTION: Take extreme caution not to over tighten the nuts!!! Over
tightening of the nuts can strip the holes and result in a faulty mount.
Because it takes about 72 hours or 3 days for the adhesive to reach full
bonding potential, check the light often during this period to ensure the
tape maintains full contact with the bracket and glass.
Light Replacement
If you need to replace your light for any reason,
you can leave the brackets affixed to the
window and remove the light from them.
1. Loosen both nuts only enough to slide the light
out of the slots in the brackets. The brackets
will remain attached to the windshield.
2. Install new light by sliding it back into place in the
bracket slots.
Note - insure square head of carriage bolt is within bracket slot.
3. Tighten both nuts. Note - Do not over tighten nuts as doing so may cause
the carriage bolt head to spin in the hood.
Bracket Removal
Over time the bracket adhesive bond becomes stronger. If the procedure below doesn't
work it may be necessary to use alcohol or WD40 to soften the adhesive in combination with
the steps below.
1. Remove the light head as described under Light Replacement.
2. Using razor blade scraper, carefully scrape the adhesive tape off the window gently
prying the bracket away from the window until it is removed.

ULB9S Optional Hood Reflective Label Installation
(ULB9S Mounting CONT’D)
Optional Reflective Hood Label Installation
Practice installing label BEFORE removing backing.
1. Align the notch in the label with the center of the
hood taking care that the front edge of the label lines
up with the front edge of the hood.
2. Hold one half of the label
2. Hold one half of the label
firmly in place with the
firmly in place with the
backing still affixed.
backing still affixed.
3. Slowly start to peel the backing off of the other
half of the label from the center out.
4. Gradually peel the backing off of the rest of
that half of the label carefully rolling it into
place along the hood.
5. Using your finger or other cylindrical object, carefully "roll" the
label through the corner ensuring that no air bubbles form. If your
hood has bolt heads inside, smooth the label or cut it as needed.
6. Repeat the process to affix the other half of the label to the hood.
Flush Window Adhesive Mount
1. Snap one pivot bracket onto each side of the light.
2. Select a location for your light and hold the light up to the
window adjusting the pivots such that the light is approximately
level.
DO NOT MOUNT ON DEFROSTER LINES!!
3. Thoroughly clean and dry the window.
4. Remove the backing from the double sticky tape on the
light and place the light in the chosen location pressing
VERY LIGHTLY on just the brackets. Check the light from
the front and back to verify placement. If placed correctly,
press firmly on the brackets ensuring maximum contact and adhesion.
Note - if a placement mistake is made, quickly remove light by levering
off the brackets with a flat blade screwdriver.
Because it takes about 72 hours or 3 days for the adhesive to reach full
bonding potential, check the light often during this period to ensure the
tape maintains full contact with the bracket and glass.

(Bracket Mounting CONT’D)
ULB9 Bracket Mounting
1. Decide which side you want the cord to exit
the light and determine which way you will
need to mount the ULB9-BKT to your light.
2. Attach Part A of the mounting bracket, facing
the direction you have selected, to the light by
using two of the Philips head screws.
CAUTION: Take extreme caution not to over tighten the screws!!! Over
tightening of the screws can strip the holes and result in a faulty mount.
3. Use two Philips head screws,
two flat washers,
and two tooth washers
to attach Part B of the
mounting bracket to
Part A.
4. If you are mounting the light directly to the rear deck, dash,
or other suitable surface, you may use appropriate
fasteners (not supplied) to attach the bracket to your
mounting surface and skip to step 9.
5. If you are utilizing the suction cup mount, attach the suction
cups to the mounting bracket. Then mount the light in the
desired location and skip to step 9.
CAUTION: Take extreme caution not to over tighten the suction
cups!!! Over tightening of the screws can strip the holes or
puncture the inside of the cup resulting in a faulty mount.

6. If you are using the Mirror Mounting Clamp to mount your light to your rear
view mirror, it is the sole responsibility of the installer to ensure that the
rear view mirror mount can support the light you are installing.
7. Place the clamp around the mirror stem.
8. Attach the clamp to the bracket with the washer, nut and
bolt, securing your light to the rear view mirror.
9. Once the light is secured, route your cord such that it does not interfere with the vision of
the driver or the operation of the steering wheel, gear shifter, and/or any airbags.
