Important things to note:

Laying cables in between and underneath bricks

Cables can fit in between and underneath LEGO® bricks, plates, and tiles providing they are laid correctly between the LEGO® studs. Do NOT forcefully join LEGO® together around cables; instead ensure they are laying comfortably in between each stud.

CAUTION: Forcing LEGO® to connect over a cable can result in damaging the cable and light.

Connecting cable connectors to Expansion Boards

Take extra care when inserting connectors to ports of Expansion Boards. Connectors can be inserted only one way. With the expansion board facing up, look for the soldered “=” symbol on the left side of the port. The connector side with the wires exposed should be facing toward the soldered “=” symbol as you insert into the port. If a plug won’t fit easily into a port connector, do not force it.

Incorrectly inserting the connector can can result in bent pins inside the port or possible overheating of the expansion board when connected.

Connecting cable connectors to Strip Lights

Take extra care when inserting connectors to ports on the Strip Lights. Connectors can be inserted only one way. With the Strip Light facing up, ensure the side of the connector with the wires exposed is facing down. If a plug won’t fit easily into a port connector, don’t force it. Doing so will damage the plug and the connector.

Important things to note:

Laying cables in between and underneath bricks

Cables can fit in between and underneath LEGO® bricks, plates, and tiles providing they are laid correctly between the LEGO® studs. Do NOT forcefully join LEGO® together around cables; instead ensure they are laying comfortably in between each stud.

CAUTION: Forcing LEGO® to connect over a cable can result in damaging the cable and light.

Connecting cable connectors to Expansion Boards

Take extra care when inserting connectors to ports of Expansion Boards. Connectors can be inserted only one way. With the expansion board facing up, look for the soldered “=” symbol on the left side of the port. The connector side with the wires exposed should be facing toward the soldered “=” symbol as you insert into the port. If a plug won’t fit easily into a port connector, do not force it.

Incorrectly inserting the connector can can result in bent pins inside the port or possible overheating of the expansion board when connected.

Connecting cable connectors to Strip Lights

Take extra care when inserting connectors to ports on the Strip Lights. Connectors can be inserted only one way. With the Strip Light facing up, ensure the side of the connector with the wires exposed is facing down. If a plug won’t fit easily into a port connector, don’t force it. Doing so will damage the plug and the connector.

Installing Bit Lights under LEGO® bricks and plates.

When installing Bit Lights under LEGO® pieces, ensure they are placed the correct way up (Yellow LED component exposed). You can either place them directly on top of LEGO® studs or in between.


OK, Let’s Begin!

1.) First remove the base of the top floor as per below images.

2.) We will first install lights to those attached to the front mast and along the middle. Remove the front light section and then disassemble pieces as per below:

3.) Install a White 30cm Bit Light by threading the connector side through the base of the trans yellow brick (larger hole). Thread the cable all the way through until the Bit Light is sitting inside the brick.

Thread the cable through the base of the black lamp shade piece as well as the gold round plate with hole before connecting pieces together.

Reconnect the black hook piece by carefully pushing down through the top of the lamp shade piece. NOTE: You will notice that this particular piece will not push all the way down. Do not force push it all the way.

It should look similar to the below example.

Lastly, reconnect the remaining piece which sits underneath the lamp before reconnecting back to the front mast.

4.) Next, we will install lights to the lanterns along the middle line. Disconnect the one closest to the front lamp we just installed and then remove the gold piece underneath.

Take another White 30cm Bit Light and then place the bit light directly over the top of the gold piece we removed. Secure the light in place by reconnecting the trans red piece over the top as per below.

5.) Take the cable from the bit light and then pull it up and then across the top and lay in between the black clip.

Reconnect this section back to the middle line ensuring the cable is facing forward.

The cable should be laid in between the clip handles.

6.) Twist the cables from the two lights we just installed around each other so they come together forming one cable.

Take the cable and then wind the cable around the mast and then pull the cable toward the right to then thread underneath the chain leading to the bottom deck.

Use your LEGO removal tool to remove the 4×4 plate cream coloured. Lay the cable down in between studs underneath before reconnecting the plate back over the top.

7.) We will now install lights to the second and third lanterns along the middle line. Remove these two sections and then disconnect the gold pieces from the bottom of them.

Following the same method we used for the first lantern, install another 2x White 30cm Bit Lights to these two lanterns.

Take the cable from the bit light and then pull it up and then across the top and lay in between the black clip for both lanterns.

8.) Reconnect both lanterns back to the middle line ensuring both cables are facing the back.

The cable should be laid in between the clip handles.

9.) Twist the two cables together to form one larger cable and then follow the below images to wind the cable around the mast and then pull toward the inside of the bottom deck.

Secure this cable by laying it underneath the table with the mug on it ensuring the cable is laid neatly in between studs underneath.

10.) We will now install lights to the lanterns on the sides of the boat (2 each side). First remove the first section at the base of it’s pole and then locate one of the provided Trans Red Round Plates.

Take a White 30cm Bit Light and place it directly over the top of the trans red round plate. Secure the light in pace by connecting this piece up inside the trans red lantern piece ensuring the cable is facing toward the pole as per below.

Wind the cable around the pole and then reconnect this section to the side of the boat.

Repeat this process to install a light to the other lantern using another White 30cm Bit Light and provided Trans Red Round Plate.

11.) Lay the cable from this lantern we just installed underneath the brown LEGO tile pieces ensuring the cable is laid in between studs underneath as per below

12.) Turn the ship around to install lights to the other 2 lanterns on the other side using another 2x White 30cm Bit Lights and 2x Provided Trans Red Round Plates.

Lay the cable for the left lantern underneath the two brown LEGO tile pieces as per below:

13.) Secure the cables for the other two lanterns underneath the black 1×8 tile by first disconnecting, laying the cable in between studs, and then reconnecting it (over the studs closest to the wall as per below)

14.) Take a 12-port Expansion Board and then connect all eight lights to the available ports.

Take this time to test all lights are working ok by taking the the AA Battery Pack and inserting 3x AA batteries into it. Take the battery pack cable and connect it to one of the available ports on the expansion board. Turn the switch ON and verify that all lights are working OK.

Once you have verified that all lights are working OK, remove the battery pack cable and then proceed to the next step.

15.) Take a 30cm Connecting Cable and connect it to a spare port on the 12-port expansion board.

Tuck the expansion board and cables down underneath the lower deck and then pull the 30cm connecting cable out and then secure underneath the brown tile pieces (same ones we used to secure the lantern cable)

16.) Ensure all cables are well tucked in before reconnecting the section we removed at the very start.

Ensure you do not force this plate to reconnect as it may damage the bit light cables.

17.) Remove the top level of the ship as per below:

We will now thread and hide the 30cm cable through to the upper level. First remove the following tiles as well as the ladder.

Pull the cable up and then lay it across the top of the upper level in between studs. Reconnect the ladder piece over the top, followed by the tiles we removed earlier.

18.) We will now install a light to the lantern on the front of the upper level. Disconnect this section and then remove the gold piece from underneath the lantern.

19.) Take a White 30cm Bit Light and then place it over the top of the gold piece. Reconnect the lantern piece over the top securing it in place.

Wind the cable around the top of the pole and then pull it toward the back.

Remove the steering wheel section and then reconnect to it the lantern piece we just installed a light to.

Lay the cable underneath and towards the inside of the upper deck before reconnecting this section.

20.) Turn the upper level toward the back so that we can install lights to the lanterns on the back of the boat.

Remove one of the back lanterns at the following section and then install another White 30cm Bit Light using a provided Trans Red Round Plate (same method as we used for lanterns on the side)

21.) Reconnect this lantern section back to the ship and then remove the black rounded tile. Use the LEGO removal tool to create a gap so that we can thread the cable inside.

Close up the gap and then reconnect pieces we removed earlier.

22.) Repeat previous step to install another White 30cm Bit Light to the other back lantern using another Trans Red Round Plate.

22.) Reconnect the lantern section and then remove the black round tile piece. Use the LEGO removal tool to create another gap to allow you to thread the cable inside.

Close up the gap and then reconnect pieces we removed earlier.

23.) Take a White Strip Light and connect a 15cm Connecting Cable to the left port.

Using the adhesive backing, stick the strip light underneath the roof of the upper deck in the following position. The Strip Light should be placed in the middle between the two front roof flaps.

24.) Take all the cables from the upper level and then thread them down the bars which lead to the lower level. Lift the whole section up and then pull the cables down from underneath.

25.) Take a 6-port Expansion Board and then connect all four cables to the available ports.

26.) Take 2x White Strip Lights and then stick them (using their adhesive backing) onto the base of the 2x provided LEGO 1×6 Plates.

Take a 15cm Connecting Cable and then connect them in between the strip lights.

Take a 5cm Connecting Cable and connect it to one of the strip light ports and then connect the other end into the 6-port expansion board.

27.) Connect both strip lights underneath the upper level section in the below positions. Ensure the strip light with the spare port is closest to the back of the ship.

Hide the 15cm cable underneath the grey 2×8 plate as per below.

28.) Use the provided double sided adhesive squares to mount the expansion board to the following position.

29.) Pull all the excess cables down and twist them together before tucking them inside underneath the grey 2×8 plate.

30.) Bring the entire upper level over the ship and then locate the other end of the 30cm connecting cable from below and connect it to the spare port on the 6-port expansion board.

31.) Before reconnecting the upper level, take the AA Battery Pack and place it behind. Connect the battery pack cable into the strip light towards the back.

You can now securely reconnect the upper level.

For easy mobility, the battery pack can be fitted nicely in the back in between the upper and lower levels. Just ensure you fold down the telescope before doing so.

This finally completes installation of the Destiny’s Bounty Lighting Kit. Now turn the battery pack on and ENJOY!

8.) Turn the X-Wing around and repeat steps 1–5 to install another Flashing White 30cm Bit Light, White Strip Light, and 15cm Connecting Cable to the upper wing on the other side of the space ship.

9.) Thread the other end of the 15cm Connecting cable up through the following spacing which leads to the other side. Pull the cable up from the other side.

Remove the following pieces around the top of the X-Wing and then pull the cable over and lay in between studs. Reconnect pieces over the top.

10.) Connect the cable from this side into a spare port on the expansion board.

11.) Remove the following sections of the cockpit to allow us to then remove the joystick section. Disassemble pieces as per below.

12.) Take a White 30cm Bit Light and place it directly over the stud of black plate. Secure the Bit Light in place by connecting the provided LEGO Trans Blue 1×1 Plate over the top.

Reconnect this plate (this time with the trans blue plate facing up) back to the joystick and then reconnect back to the cockpit.

13.) Remove the following sections (including R2D2) to allow us to pull the Bit Light cable toward the back.

Carefully lay the cable in between studs and then reconnect pieces we removed over the top.

Reconnect remaining sections of the cockpit

14.) Take the Bit Light cable from the cockpit and then connect it to the next available port on the 6-port expansion board.

Take this time to test the lights we have installed so far. To do so, take the AA Battery Pack and insert 3x AA batteries into it. Take the battery pack cable and connect it to the expansion board. Turn the battery pack ‘on’ and verify all is working OK.

If you’re using the USB Power Cable, connect this to the board this instead of the battery pack, and connect the other end to a USB Power Bank or wall adaptor (sold separately) and turn it ON to test the lights are working OK.

 

Once you have confirmed all is working OK, disconnect the battery pack /usb cable from the expansion board and move on to the next step.

15.) Turn the X-Wing over so that you can access underneath and then remove the following sections.

16.) Turn the X-Wing back over and then take a new 15cm Connecting Cable and connect it to a spare port on the 6-port expansion board.

Thread the other end of this cable down through the spacing and then turn the X-Wing over to then pull the cable out from above.

17.) Take another 6-Port Expansion Board and then connect the other end of the 15cm connecting cable we pulled down into one of the available ports.

Turn the X-Wing back over again and then neaten up all the cables by tucking them as well as the expansion board in through the space. Reconnect R2D2 and the remaining sections we removed previously.

18.) We will now proceed to lighting the bottom cannons and wings on each side starting with the left section. Follow the same methods we used for the upper cannons to install another White Flashing 30cm Bit Light as well as provided Trans Red Saber Bar.

19.) Pull the cable back and then loop once around the cannon pole. Turn the X-Wing over and then secure the Bit Light cable in place by using a provided LEGO 1×2 plate to connect over it.

20.) Take a White Strip Light and then connect the bit light cable into one of the ports. Take a 15cm Connecting Cable and connect it to the other port on the Strip Light.

Stick the White Strip Light down in the following position underneath the bottom left wing using the adhesive backing.

21.) Take the other end of the 15cm cable from the strip light and then loop it under the White 2×12 LEGO plates. Pull it out from underneath and then connect it to the next available port on the 6-port expansion board.

22.) Repeat previous steps to install another Flashing White 30cm Bit Light, Trans Red Saber Bar, White Strip Light and 15cm Connecting Cable to the right cannon and wing.

If you find that you have excess cable from the bit lights, you can secure them down to prevent them from dangling by reconnecting LEGO tiles over them. Just ensure the cable is laid in between studs.

23.) Take the other end of the 15cm connecting cable from the strip light and then connect it to the next available port on the 6-port expansion board.

Reconnect the 2×12 LEGO plates we removed in step 15.

Take this time to test the lights we installed to the bottom wings and cannons by connecting the battery pack cable /usb cable into one of the spare ports on the expansion board. Turn the battery pack ‘on’ and verify all is working OK

24.) We will now move onto lighting the back jets. First disconnect the top left jet section and then open sections up to remove the trans pink pieces.

Take a White 30cm Bit Light and then thread the connector side through one of the spaces that allow for the cable to be threaded half way down the jet.

Remove the bottom barrel piece and pull the wheel piece down to allow you to thread the rest of the cable through one of the holes in the wheel piece.

Once the cable is thread through, push the wheel piece up and then thread the cable through one of the holes in the barrel piece.

Hold the Bit Light over the centre of the jet and then secure in place by reconnecting the trans pink pieces over the top.

Close the surrounding sections of the jet.

25.) Take the jet section and then thread the cable from the bottom of it through the space at the top of the wing. Pull the cable down from underneath the wing and then thread through the space which leads underneath at the open section.

Pull the cable all the way through and then reconnect the jet section back to the X-Wing.

26.) Repeat the previous two steps to install another White 30cm Bit Light to the upper right jet.

27.) Take another 6-Port Expansion Board and then connect a 5cm Connecting Cable to one of the outside ports.

Take the two Bit Lights from the upper jets and then connect them to available ports on the expansion board we have just used.

28.) Repeat the same process as we did for the upper jets to install another White 30cm Bit Light to the bottom left jet.

Take the cable from the jet and thread though the space which leads inside and then pull down from underneath at the open section.

Reconnect the Jet and then connect the Bit Light from this jet to the next port on the expansion board below (same expansion board as the one used to connect the upper two jets).

29.) Repeat this process again to install the last White 30cm Bit Light to the remaining lower jet and then connect the bit light into the expansion board.

30.) Take the Multi Effects Board and then connect the other end of the 5cm connecting cable (from the expansion board in previous steps) into one of the output ports (side with 2 ports).

In order to configure the effect you want, take the AA battery pack /usb cable and connect the cable into the input port of the effects board (side with one port)

Turn the battery pack on and then turn the switch on the effects board to the far left for the ‘flicker’ effect. Turn the wheel on the effects board to adjust the speed of the effect.

Once you are happy with the effect for the jet lights, carefully disconnect the battery pack cable /usb cable and then move onto the next step.

31.) Take another 5cm Connecting Cable and connect it to the input port on the multi effects board. Connect the other end of the cable into the other 6-port expansion board (where we connected strip lights to)

32.) Tuck the 6-port expansion board (with the bit lights from jets), effects board, and cables into the centre space. Leave the 6-port expansion board (with effects board connected to) out.

Reconnect the 4×8 plate we removed earlier in step 15.

33.) Take the AA Battery Pack /usb cable and connect the cable into the 6-port expansion board we have left out.

Tuck in the expansion board in with the rest of the components, leaving out the battery pack cable /usb cable.

34.) Take the remaining section we removed earlier in step 15 and then disconnect and discard the section with the dark grey 2×6 plate.

Reconnect this remaining section back to cover up the space underneath the X-Wing.

35.) Carefully turn the X-Wing over and then place it back onto the stand with the battery pack placed behind.

This now completes installation of the Light My Bricks Lighting kit for the LEGO UCS Red Five X-Wing.

Repeat this step to install another White 15cm Bit Light to the lantern on the other side.


Reconnect both sections back to the front of the building.



16.) Take the cable from the right lantern and then pull the cable up to bend the cable upward. Lift up the right set of roof tiles and then thread the cable through the space which leads to the left side. Pull the cable out from the left side and then cover the roof back.






Take the left lantern cable and pull it upward. Thread the cable around the brown plate and then loop it back around itself to securely tie the cable.




Take a 6-port Expansion Board and connect both bit light cables to available ports.


17.) Take a White Strip Light and stick it to the base of another LEGO 1×6 plate. Connect a 5cm connecting cable to the left port of the strip light and then connect the other side of the cable to the expansion board.



Thread the strip light through the space inside of the roof and then mount it underneath to the following position.





Mount the expansion board to the inside of the roof using 2x adhesive squares.



18.) Locate one of the 50cm connecting cables from the bottom of the temple and then thread it through the back of the roof of the market.




Pull the cable through and then connect it to a spare port on the 6-port expansion board.



Reconnect both sides of the roof tiles and then reconnect the market base plate to the temple base plate.



Turn the battery pack on to test all the lights are working OK.


19.) We will now light up the cottage on the left of the Temple. Take this section, turn it to the back and remove the second floor.





Remove the two grey plates from the front of the cottage and then place it aside.




20.) Take a White 15cm Bit Light and stick it underneath these 2 plates using an adhesive square. Ensure you stick it in exactly the same position as per below and that the cable is facing toward the back.



With the cable facing behind, carefully reconnect the two plates to the front of the cottage.



The Bit Light should be visible if you look up from underneath.


21.) Take a White Strip Light and stick it to the base of a provided LEGO 1×6 Plate. Connect the Bit Light cable from the front of the cottage to the left port on the strip light. Set this aside for now.



22.) Take another White Strip Light and stick it to the base of another provided LEGO 1×6 plate. Take a 15cm connecting cable and connect it to the left port on the strip light.


Take the second floor of the cottage, turn it to the back and then lift up the left side of the roof.



With the cable facing behind, mount the strip light to the following position on the left side of the roof and then close the roof.



23.) Lift the second floor of the cottage over the base and then lift it up and mount the Strip Light from below underneath in the following position. To eliminate excess cable from the Bit Light, loop it around and secure it in between studs of the 1×6 Plate.


Take the 15cm connecting cable from the second floor and connect this to the right port on the strip light underneath.


You can secure the 15cm cable on the second floor by taping it to the wall.



24.) Locate the other end of the spare 50cm connecting cable from the base of the Temple and connect it to the port on the strip light on the second floor.



Turn the cottage around to the front and then connect the base plate of the cottage to the base plate of the Temple.




This finally completes installation of the Temple of Airjitsu Lighting Kit. Your LEGO set is now ready to come to life.

Turn the battery pack on, and ENJOY!
