FAQs
Are bulbs included with the TR430_Pair?
No, bulbs are not included with the AB Tools Rubbolite TR430_Pair and must be purchased separately. Please ensure you use compatible 12v bulbs.
Can these lamps be mounted vertically?
Yes, these lamps are designed for versatile mounting and can be fitted either horizontally or vertically.
What type of bulbs do these lamps use?
These lamps use standard 12-volt automotive bulbs. Specific bulb types (e.g., bayonet fitting) will depend on the function (indicator, stop/tail, fog).
How do I replace a broken lens?
The lenses are designed to be separate. Carefully detach the damaged lens and replace it with a compatible Rubbolite lens. Ensure the new lens is properly seated to maintain weather resistance.
Are these lamps suitable for 24-volt systems?
These lamps are designed for 12-volt systems. Using them on a 24-volt system without appropriate resistors or modifications will likely cause premature bulb failure and damage the lamp.
What is the primary advantage of separate lenses?
The main advantage is ease of maintenance and cost-effectiveness. If one light function's lens is damaged, you only need to replace that specific lens rather than the entire lamp unit.
Troubleshooting
One or more light functions not working
Check the bulb is correctly seated and functional. Verify wiring connections to the corresponding function (indicator, stop/tail, fog) and ensure a good ground connection. Inspect for any loose or damaged wires.
Flickering lights
This often indicates a poor electrical connection. Check all wiring connections, including the ground wire, for corrosion or looseness. Ensure the bulb is firmly seated in its holder.
Water ingress into the lamp
Ensure lenses are securely fitted and that the housing seals are intact. If water ingress is detected, carefully disassemble the lamp, dry thoroughly, and check for any cracks in the lenses or housing. Replace damaged parts.
