If you already own the Velossa Tech GEN 4 Fiesta ST BIG MOUTH, skip to slide 7 to see install and wiring instructions.
Bumper Removal
For installation of the BIG MOUTH, you will need to remove the bumper. For
best instruction, use YouTube videos to guide you on bumper removal.
Stock Shroud Trimming
It is best to cut a hole in the stock radiator shroud. Use the following
images for your cut. It doesn’t need to be perfect, just ensure the big mouth
isn’t binding against the shroud too much.
Cut a slight hump here

Install the LIT BIG MOUTH Flare
SKIP THIS SLIDE IF YOU PURCHASED A FULL LIT KIT
Attach the supplied cable clip to your BIG MOUTH as shown. Fasten the cable
and provide enough slack to not strain the cable.
LED power cable must exit the driver side of the flare once installed!
If you purchased a LIT flare-only and already have a Gen 4 BIG MOUTH. Remove old flare and install the LIT flare with the 4 screws as shown.
BIG MOUTH Installation
There is a rubber trim piece here, you can keep it or remove it. If you keep
it, it ill be a tight fit and might require some dish soap as lubricant in
this area.
Keep everything loose, slide the intake into the stock port after it has been
lubricated. You may apply light pressure to slide it into the stock gasket.
BIG MOUTH Installation
This next part will require some patience. Grab the M6 lock nut and have the
M6 bolt handy. Line the M6 nut up with the indicated hole by forcing it up
against the inner wall of the radiator shroud and pushing up. Once aligned,
thread the screw into the nut by hand (only a few turns).
Use caution not to drop the nut, it is best to place a towel or buffer object
below your hand.
BIG MOUTH Installation
Use a 10mm box wrench to keep the nut from rotating while tightening. Try to
maintain the position shown for easiest install.
LED power wires ill exit from here.
BIG MOUTH Installation
Tighten using a 5mm Allen key while keeping the box wrench in the same
position. Be careful not to tighten too much. Snug is fine.
Hand tight is acceptable (snug), do not overtorque.

Fuse
There is an extra black wire in your kit, you can use it to ground the switch
gold terminal if preferred, however not mandatory.
Wire Management
Begin by making bundles of wire as shown. Both bundles are going to plug into
the switch using the crimped terminals. See next slides.
Leave about a foot of wire from each bundle.
Wire Management
Use a zip tie and loop it through the Bluetooth controller at the top as
shown, tie it to the thick OEM wire harness.
Wire Management
The two bundles of power wire will be zip tied separately first. Then, they
will be zip tied to the controller around the thick OEM wire harness. If you
find it hard to secure the zip tie, go through the bundles with the zip tie
instead of over them. See picture.
There are a total of 4 zip ties in this picture, 1 for each separate bundle
packet and 2 zip ties to fasten the controller and bundles together around the
OEM thick harness.
Wire Management
Use the wire schematic on slide 13 to assemble the switch.
Wire Management
You may ground everything to this OEM bolt. You may optionally ground the
switch with the small black wire included in the kit, although not mandatory
(grounding the switch allows the small LED to light up on the switch when it
is on).
Use the wire schematic on slide 13 to assemble the switch.
Wire Management
Plug in the LED power cable into one of the four ports on the controller, the
other three ports can be used for other Diode Dynamics products.
Zip tie here.
Wire Management
Supply power to the controller by unscrewing this OEM nut on the battery
terminal and fastening the supplied power cable.
Wire Management
You can tuck the switch into this gap as shown; or mount it elsewhere.
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!
