Hello,

I feel kind of stupid about this, but I just got this light, and I love it. Can anyone tell me how to install the glow in the dark tailswitch? There is no mention in the instructions on how to do this, and I can't find it on a search.

Thanks!

You have to remove the switch from the inside of the tailcap first. There is a threaded retaining ring with two small holes in it. You need to use snap-ring pliers (or a very fine-tip set of needle-nose pliers, or a very sturdy pair of pointed tweezers) to unscrew this ring. The switch will then fall out, and you can swap out the boot cover underneath. Then put the switch back in as you found it, and re-tighten the ring holding it all in place.

As I recall with this light, there's also a small metal cover over the the exposed part of the tailspring. Make sure you re-install that along with the switch as well. Basically, just be careful taking it all out, making sure you know the order to put everything back in the right place.
