If you already own the Velossa Tech Veloster Turbo BIG MOUTH, skip to slide XX to see install and wiring instructions.
Stock Components Removal
It is best to google “how to remove bumper” for your particular trim, after the bumper is removed, you will see the following.
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.
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
Remove the OEM bolt located here. Keep the metal tab in place, the bolt will be replaced with the M6 bolt found in the kit.
Fasten the M6 bolt with washer through this mounting point on the BIG MOUTH, the mounting point goes OVER the OEM bracket.
Use the passenger side mounting hole on the BIG MOUTH to mark the hole for drilling through the sheet metal. Ensure the drill bit is centered in the hole, ensure the drill bit does not walk (start with a small bit for a pilot hole). Final hole should be ¼” or 5/16” (a bigger hole will allow for level adjustability of the BIG MOUTH if required).
Install the second bolt from the back side of the sheet metal, there is an opening and clearance for the Allen key. Fasten with washer and nut on both sides, do not over-torque, hand tight is acceptable.
Big Mouth Wiring
Begin by snaking the LED wire that is clipped to the side of the BIG MOUTH, as
shown. Snake it through behind the headlight, there is a gap.
Mount the controller on top of this black box. Use the supplied double-sided
tape. Clean the surface with a clean cloth prior, and press firmly in place as
shown.
Plug in the LED cable into one of the four ports, it does not matter which
one. The other three ports can accept any Diode Dynamics lighting strip for
underglow or underhood lighting (sold separately).
Wiring Harness
Wiring Harness Schematic
Use the wiring diagram and zip ties to wire the system up as shown. Ground the two black wires as shown. Plug in the grey main power connector and install the blade connectors to the main power switch.
Trimming
Use this trimming template to trim the OEM bumper cover. Place the template
as shown, measure 4 inches from this edge and line up the line with the corner
in the shroud. You can use tape to hold it down for marking.
If a new template is needed, print this sheet on standard paper and cut it out. Ensure the printer settings DO NOT scale the sheet as this will affect the accuracy of the template dimensions.
After marking around the template, cut the cover using a cut-off wheel or
router bit.
The second shroud is shown below, after cutting from the top side of the bumper cover, you should see cut marks on the shroud. Remove the shroud and continue cutting it.
Trim bosses that interfere with the BIG MOUTH.
After trimming the cover/shroud, fasten the shroud back underneath the bumper cover. The bumper cover should seat back properly with no serious binding, if not, go back and continue to trim ribs/bosses until the BIG MOUTH and cover are not binding. Trim liberally to ensure no stress on the BIG MOUTH.
Final trimming should look like this. Remove ribs, bumps and bosses.
Before fastening the bumper back on the car permanently, inspect the levelness
of the BIG MOUTH, use the oversized hole that was drilled as an adjustment
method.
Final Assembly Review
Review the install and make sure nothing is binding or causing any preload on
any parts, once fitment is confirmed, ensure that screws are tight and that
your hood can close properly.
Phone App
Download the Diode Dynamics app and connect via Bluetooth.
How to connect to the app:
- After installing the app from the app store, open the app on your device.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Note that if you mounted your controller behind a lot of metal components, this may degrade the signal and range.
