Install the LIT BIG MOUTH Flare

SKIP THIS SLIDE IF YOU PURCHASED A FULL LIT KIT
If you already own a BIG MOUTH and want to swap flares to upgrade to a lit kit, use the following instruction. There are 4 allen key screws that attach the flare to the body, as shown behind the green circles. Remove the screws and install the LIT Flare.

Template

• Use the supplied template as shown, place it snugly up against the surface so that you can mark the holes with a sharpie or sharp edge.
• You will need to drill these holes out from the rubber shroud. Use a 1/8” drill bit.
  Seat the BIG MOUTH into the cowl opening, make sure you feel the click as the big mouth slots snap into place. Begin drilling the holes through the shroud into the BIG MOUTH plastic brackets using the template holes.

BIG MOUTH Installation Procedure

• Use the button head Phillips screws to screw the 5 self tapping screws into the brackets as shown. Do not overtorque, hand tight is enough.
• Clean this surface with a cloth and stick the wire tie down as shown, on the underside of the radiator shroud, near the first gap.
• Route the LED power cable (from the controller) from the engine bay side, through this hole in the radiator support.
• Plug the LED cable into the power controller as shown. Add another wire tie down, clean the surface first.
• Use the double-sided tape from the controller package, clean surface and mount as shown.

Wiring Harness

Wiring Harness Schematic

BIG MOUTH Installation Procedure

• Plug the grey power connector into the controller as shown, route the wires under the seal trim as shown.
• Using the wiring diagram on slide 15, connect all power and ground wires and bundle any excess wires as shown. The switch is only to be used to turn off the controller for long term storage.
• Tuck the wire bundles and switch in the battery compartment. Use the + and – terminals to power and ground the controller and switch (ground only).

Fine Tune

• You can make an adjustment to the BIG MOUTH to ensure it is level. Place bumper on the car, do not fasten yet, inspect visually for alignment and level.
• If you need more adjustment, go back and drill bigger holes in the rubber shroud to give you some play room, then tighten as needed.

Phone App

Download the Diode Dynamics app and connect via Bluetooth. How to connect to the app:

1. After installing the app from the app store, open the app on your device.
2. Cycle the power to the Bluetooth controller by unplugging it and plugging it back in or flick the power switch and wait a few seconds, then turn it back on.
3. Wait for the app to detect the controller, it will pop up on the app screen as a Bluetooth controller. If necessary, cycle the power once more to refresh the controller.
4. Once the controller shows up on the app, click it and connect. You have 30 seconds to select the controller once it shows up on the app. After 30 second you will need to refresh again to detect the controller again.
5. Note that if you mounted your controller behind a lot of metal components, this may degrade the signal and range.

Finalize

Re-install the bumper the same way it was removed and ENJOY!
