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.
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!
Instructions for installing this kit
1.) We will start installing lights to the front indicators. First remove these 2 sections and disassemble pieces as per below:
2.) Take a White 30cm Bit Light and then place it over the right stud of one of the black 1×2 plates. Ensure the cable for the light is facing down and then secure the light in place by reconnecting one of the triangular trans orange plates over the top.
Repeat this step to install another White 30cm Bit Light to this section, securing the light in place by reconnecting the triangular trans clear plate. Then repeat this for the next section to install another 2x White 30cm Bit Lights
3.) Reconnect both sections back to the vehicle ensuring the bit light cables are facing down.
Starting with the left side of the vehicle, bring the cables together and then loop them around the light pole and then thread them around the inside section as per below
4.) Connect the Bit Light that is installed under the trans orange plate to the 6-Port Expansion Board. To determine which cable is for the correct light, take the AA Battery pack and insert 3x AA batteries to it and then connect it to a spare port on the expansion board. Turn the battery pack on and verify you are connecting the correct light. e.g. if the trans clear plate lights up instead of the trans orange plate, then disconnect and connect the other cable.
Once you have verified that you have connected the correct light to the expansion board, disconnect the battery pack and leave the other bit light cable aside.
5.) Turn the vehicle around to the right side and then loop the cables from this side around the light pole and around the inner section as we did for the left side.
We now need to feed the cables through the middle over to the expansion board on the left side. Thread the cables back through the inner section and then pull them out from the other side as per below.
Once again, connect the correct Bit Light cable (the light underneath the trans orange plate) to the next port on the expansion board. Connect up the battery pack again to verify you have connected the correct light.
Disconnect the battery pack from the expansion board
6.) Take a 8-port Expansion Board and connect the other 2 Bit Light cables to the first available ports.
Thread both expansion boards and cables back through the inner section and then pull them out from the other side of the vehicle and then set aside.
7.) Disconnect the following section towards the back of the vehicle to give us access to the inside.
Thread both expansion boards one at a time through the inside of the vehicle and then out through the section where we removed pieces in the previous step.
8.) We will now install lights to the top headlights. First disconnect the 2 sections and then disassemble pieces as per below
Take 2x White 30cm Bit Lights and then place them together directly over the studs on the yellow 1×2 plate ensuring cables are facing down. While holding both lights over studs below, secure them in place by reconnecting the trans clear 1×2 plate over the top.
Repeat this process to install another 2x White 30cm Bit Lights to the other headlight section.
Reconnect both sections back to the front of the vehicle ensuring the cables are facing down.
9.) Pull the following section out slightly and then thread the cables on the left up through the spacing we just created. Pull the cables across the top and toward the back of the vehicle.
Pull out the back section slightly out as per below and then thread the cables down through the spacing we just created
Repeat this process for the cables on the right side
10.) Take the right 2 cables and then pull them underneath towards the left then loop them around the top left frame and then thread the cables down through in between pieces. Pull the cables down from the inside toward the left.
Thread all 4 cables from the top headlights into the next available ports on the 8-port expansion board below.
Test the headlights and trans clear indicators on the front by connecting the Battery Pack to a spare port on the 8-port expansion and verify they are working OK.
11.) Remove the AA battery pack and connect a 5cm Connecting Cable to the 8-port expansion board. Connect the other end of the 5cm cable to another 8-Port Expansion board.
Lift up the panel on the right (volvo sign) and then bring the 2x 8-port expansion boards over to this section, leaving the 6-port expansion board on the left.
12.) We will now light up the emergency light on the top of the vehicle. First remove this LEGO piece and then take a White 30cm Bit Light and then bend the cable up in a 90 degree angle.
Place the Bit Light inside where we removed the trans orange LEGO piece and then reconnect this piece over the top to secure in place. Ensure the cable is facing the back of the vehicle.
Thread the other end of the cable down in between pieces as per below.
13.) Take the Multi-Effects Board and then connect the Bit Light for the emergency light on the roof to one of the output ports (side with 2 ports). Then take another 5cm Connecting Cable and connect to the other output port. Connect the other side of the 5cm cable to a spare port on the 6-port expansion board below.
Setup the effects board to ‘emergency effect’ by connecting the AA battery pack to the output port of the effects board (side with only one port) and then adjusting the settings by flicking the switch to the middle and then adjusting the speed by turning the wheel.
Both the trans orange lights of the front indicators as well as the emergency light on the top of the vehicle should be flashing in sequence.
14.) Remove the AA battery pack and then replace with another 5cm Connecting Cable. Connect the other side of the cable to the remaining port on the first 8-port expansion board we used.
15.) We will now install lights to the back of the vehicle (on the top). First remove the 2 outer trans clear LEGO pieces as shown below.
Take a White 30cm Bit Light and then thread the connector side through the left hole. Thread the cable all the way through until the Bit Light is on the very edge and then pull the other end of the cable out through where we lifted up the panel (with the volvo sign).
Secure the Bit Light in place by connecting one of the provided LEGO trans-orange round plates over the top. You may need to bend the Bit Light slightly so that it sits flat against the edge of the hole.
Repeat this process to install another White 30cm Bit Light to the right side except this time you will need to thread the cable down across to the left side.
Secure the light in place by using another provided LEGO trans orange round plate.
Take the 2 cables from the Bit Lights we just installed and then pull them across the side to connect them to spare ports on the 6-port expansion board.
16.) We will now install lights to the remaining lights on the top. Disconnect the trans clear round plates and then thread another 2x White 30cm Bit Lights through these holes. Thread them all the way through (the same way we did for the other 2 lights) and then secure them in place by reconnecting the trans clear round plates.
Take the 2 cables from the Bit Lights we just installed and then connect them to the first few ports on the second 8-port Expansion Board.
Eliminate excess cable by winding the cables around the expansion board 3-4 times. Just ensure you do not cover the spare ports while doing so.
17.) We will now light up the break lights. First remove the L shaped piece above each break light, followed by the trans red 1×2 plate.
Take 2x White 30cm Bit Lights and then hold them together with cables facing up and place them over the 2 yellow studs. Secure the lights in place by reconnecting the trans red 1×2 plate over the top of them.
Bring the 2 cables over in between the blue pieces and then reconnect the L shaped piece over the top.
Pull the cable down from in between this section
To eliminate excess cable, thread the cable up and then back around 3–4 times
Once you have eliminated as much slack as possible, thread the cables up and behind the back left panel before connecting them to the next available ports on the second 8-port Expansion Board.
18.) Take another 2x White 30cm Bit Lights and install them to the right break lights using the same method as we did previously.
Eliminate excess cable by looping the cables around this section 2 times before threading them through the middle and out through the other side.
19.) Connect the 2 cables to the next available ports on the 8-port expansion board then connect the AA battery pack to the remaining port.
Turn on and verify all lights (front and back) are working OK.
20.) Neatly place all the cables and expansion boards inside the vehicle, followed by the AA battery pack toward the back. Ensure the battery pack switch is accessible.
Reconnect the panel we removed in step 7.
Ensure all components are neatly hidden before closing the back left panel.
This finally completes installation of the Volvo L350F Wheel Loader Light Kit. To turn on, simply lift up the back left panel to access the battery switch.

OK, Let’s Begin!
Instructions for installing this kit
1.) All of the lights will be installed to the top of the Carousel. In order to get inside, follow the below images to remove the sections of roof off the carousel:
2.) The first lights we will install will be the 2x Multi-Colour Changing Light Strings. Take one of the light strings and then thread the top of it through the side of one of the the black technic bricks (through the second hole closest to the front).
Continue threading the light string all around the carousel through the holes (second hole closest to the front) of the black technic bricks until you get about half way around.
After threading the first Light String about half way, secure it in place by bending the tip up and then threading back around through the next hole of the black technic brick.
You may have a fair bit of excess light string on the opposite side (connector side). To secure this section in place, pull the end of the light string the opposite way and then thread the light string around and through the 3rd and 4th holes along the black technic brick as per below.
3.) Take a 12-Port Expansion board and connect the light string to the first available port.
4.) Take the second Multi Colour Changing Light String and then thread the top through the same hole we started the first Light String except in the opposite direction.
Continue threading this light string right around the carousel (using the same method we used for the first light string) until you reach the end of the first light string.
Thread the other end of the second light string through the following hole and then pull all the way through and connect to the next available port on the 12-port Expansion Board.
5.) We will now secure the 12-port Expansion Board. Take 2x Adhesive squares and stick them to the back of the expansion board and then mount it to the following position on top of the Carousel.
6.) Take this time to test to ensure the two light strings we have installed so far are working ok when winding the carousel around. Take the AA Battery Pack or USB Cable 30cm and connect it to any of the ports on the expansion board. Turn on the Battery Pack (or Connect the USB Cable to your USB Power Bank). Wind the carousel around and around and ensure the Light Strings are not getting caught with the different animal’s poles.

Once all 6 Strip Lights are installed, test that all lights are working OK by connecting back your Battery Pack (or USB cable) to a spare port on the expansion board and turn ‘ON’.
10.) We will now connect lights all around the top of the carousel starting with the first section closest to the 12-port expansion board. First remove the following sections from the top and bottom as per below:
11.) Disconnect the trans yellow LEGO pieces and then take 4x White 15cm Bit Lights and install them by placing them directly over the LEGO studs and then reconnecting the trans yellow LEGO pieces over the top of them to secure them in place. Ensure the cable for each bit light is facing toward the back of the LEGO piece the way you would be reconnecting them.
12.) Reconnect the pieces (with bit lights installed) back to the top of the Carousel ensuring the cable is facing behind.
For the bottom bit lights, thread each cable up the space behind and then pull up from the top.
Connect all 4 cables to the next available ports on the 12-port Expansion board.
13.) We will now move onto connecting lights to the next section to the left. Disconnect top and bottom pieces and then repeat steps 11 and 12 to install another 4x White 15cm Bit Lights.
Ensure you thread the bottom cables up to the top and then connect all 4 cables into the next available ports on the 12-port expansion board keeping the far left port free.
Test that all lights are working OK by connecting back your Battery Pack (or USB cable) to a spare port on the expansion board.
14.) Take a 15cm Connecting Cable and then connect it to the far left port on the 12 port expansion board. Connect the other end of the cable to another 12 Port Expansion board then mount the expansion board to the following position using 2x adhesive squares.

Mount striplight#6 underneath the roof of this section in the following position and then securely reconnect everything.
This finally completes installation of the Light My Bricks LEGO Market Street Lighting Kit. Now, turn on your light kit and ENJOY!
The individual components used in Light My Bricks light kits are very small and as a result, can easily damage if not handled appropriately. It is very important that the user guides section “Important things to note” is carefully read and followed as doing so will prevent faults and damages to Light My Bricks components.
Most of you who are reading this may have already run into an issue where the lights you’ve installed simply won’t work and you’re trying to figure out why.
First, let’s take you through some of the most common causes:
Check your Batteries
Ensure that use new batteries and that they are inserted the correct way into the battery pack. Check that the ‘+’ side of the battery is facing the ‘+’ side of the battery pack, the ‘-’ side of the battery is facing the ‘-’ side of the battery pack.
For Round Battery Packs, ensure both CR2032 batteries are facing ‘-’ side down.
Ensure there are no obvious breakage in any of the wires or components
Light My Bricks components are very small, if not tiny, and can therefore easily damage when not handled appropriately. Be careful when you remove and unpack components out of the packaging to ensure you do not forcefully pull the wires as this can damage the tiny wires soldered onto the LED. If it’s broken, it will not work.
Expansion board fault
One of the most common problems customers face when installing Light My Bricks lighting kits is with a ‘suspected’ faulty expansion board. Connectors can only be inserted to the expansion board one way, with the exposed wires facing the ‘=’ symbol. Forcefully inserting the incorrect way will damage the pins inside each of the ports on the expansion board. Not only will a light connected to the damage port not work, but if the pins inside the port are bent to a point they are touching each other, it can result in overheating of the wires connected.
If you suspect you have a faulty expansion board then try the following steps to easily fix and resolve this issue:
If you look carefully inside each of the ports, they each contain 2 small pins which are straight. You will be able to identify the faulty port as the port with a bent pin(s).
To fix the faulty port, you will require a sharp object such as a pin, needle or a pair of tweezers which can be used to straighten the bent pin inside the faulty port. Simply use the object to bend the pin back in line. Once the pin is straight, your expansion board should now function correctly.

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 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.
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.
WARNING: Incorrectly inserting the connector can result in bent pins inside the port or possible overheating of the expansion board when connected.
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!
Instructions for installing this kit
1.) We will first install lights to the 2 jets at the back of the helicarrier. First remove the following sections from above then turn around to the back to remove the jet sections.
2.) Take one of the back jet sections and then disassemble and remove the following LEGO pieces.
Take the left plate of trans-orange plates and remove them, then take a White 30cm Bit Light and place it directly over the following stud as per below:
Ensure the cable is facing toward the top left, then secure the Bit Light in place by reconnecting one of the trans-orange plates over the top.
Install another 2x White 30cm Bit Lights to the below studs, following the same method we just used.
To install a Bit Light to the trans orange plate that connects to the “hole”, take another White 30cm Bit Light and then bend it up on a 90 degree angle and the place it inside the “hole” as per below:
Reconnect the trans-orange plate over the top (upside down) ensuring the cable is facing the same way as the below image.
Take all the cables from the Bit Lights we just installed and then twist/wind them together so they form one large cable.
Thread the cables all the way through from the outside toward the back (via the space behind) and then reconnect one of the LEGO sections we removed earlier.
We can now reconnect in place the dark grey plate with bit lights installed.
Follow this same method to install another 4x White 30cm Bit Lights to the dark grey plate on the right side of this section.
Reconnect pieces we removed earlier.
Take the 2 groups of cables and then pull them behind and twist/wind them together.
This completes installation of lights to one of the back jet sections. Now, using the same method, install another 8x White 30cm Bit Lights to the next back jet section.
3.) Remove the following LEGO road plates and other sections from the top of the helicarrier.
Reconnect one of the back jets and then loop the cable behind and then thread back up into the gap underneath which leads back into the inside of the helicarrier.
Connect all the cables to a 12-port Expansion Board
Take a 5cm connecting cable and then connect this to a spare port on the expansion board.
Repeat this step to reconnect the other back jet to the helicarrier, then connect the cables to another 12-port Expansion Board as well as another 5cm connecting cable.
4.) Connect the two 12-port expansion boards (with the other end of each 5cm cable) to the each “output” port on the Multi-Effects Board (side with 2 ports). Take another 5cm connecting cable and then connect it to a 6-port Expansion Board. Connect the other end of this 5cm connecting cable to the “input” port on the Multi Effects Board.
We can now test the lights we have installed with the chosen effect to ensure all is working ok. To do this, take the AA Battery pack and insert 3x AA batteries to it. Connect the battery pack cable to a spare port on the expansion board and then turn on and check that all lights on the back jets are working. Flick the switch on the effects board to far right for the ‘flicker’ effect (or choose your desired effect). You can adjust the speed of the effect by turning the wheel on the effects board.
Once you are happy with the speed of the effect, disconnect the battery pack and then move onto the next step.
5.) We will now install lights to light up the 2 back propeller sections. First take a 15cm connecting cable and connect it to the 6-port expansion board we connected earlier. Thread the other end of the cable through the following hole on the back left, which leads to the inside of back left propeller. Pull the cable up from underneath the inside of the propeller.
Disconnect the propeller section by pulling it out and then downward to remove it from underneath.
6.) Take a Blue Strip Light and then connect the 15cm cable we pulled through to the right port. Take another Blue Strip Light and 15cm connecting cable and connect them to the first Blue Strip Light as per below.
Using the adhesive backing for each strip light, stick them to the sides on the inside of this section.
To eliminate excess cable from showing, remove the octagon ring and then secure the cables underneath the following plates (disconnect plate, lay cable between stud, reconnect plate).
Reconnect the octagon ring and then reconnect the propeller.
We will now install another 2 blue lights to the back right propeller section. Take another 15cm connecting cable and connect to the 6-port expansion board, then thread other end through one of the holes which leads inside to the right propeller.
Remove the propeller.
Take 2x Blue Strip Lights and connect them together using another 15cm connecting cable. Connect the 15cm cable we threaded through to one of the Blue Strip Lights and then stick them to the sides on the inside in the following position.
Eliminate excess cable by connecting under LEGO plates and then reconnect propeller.
Connect the battery pack to the 6-port expansion and check that the propeller lights are working OK.
7.) Remove another LEGO road plate and then take another 15cm connecting cable and connect it to the 6-port expansion board. This cable will be used to connect this sections of lights to the front half of the helicarrier.
8.) We will now mount the AA Battery pack in a fixed position. First locate the following provided LEGO pieces: 6×6 Plate and 2×2 Brick. (colours may vary)
Connect the 2×2 brick to the following position inside the back of the helicarrier.
Take 4x adhesive squares and stick them to the following studs on the 6×6 plate, then connect the plate to the 2×2 brick as per below.
Place the AA Battery Pack on top of the 6×6 plate and secure down ensuring it is well mounted to the plate underneath.
Thread the battery pack cable back inside and then pull up from the inside and then connect it to the 6-port expansion board.
9.) Reconnect back the right LEGO road plate we removed earlier, followed by surrounding LEGO sections.
Connect another 15cm connecting cable to the 6-port expansion board then reconnect the left LEGO road plate ensuring both 15cm cables are still accessible.
10.) Take another 2x 6-port Expansion Boards and connect each of the 15cm cables we pulled through to one expansion board.
Remove the LEGO Road section with the SHIELD logo on it.
11.) We will now install lights to the front left propeller section. First remove the propeller and then take a 15cm connecting cable and connect it to one of the 6-port expansion boards below.
Thread the other end of this cable through one of the holes that leads to the inside of the left propeller section. Pull the cable up from the inside.
Take 2x Blue Strip Lights and connect them together using another 15cm connecting cable. Connect the other end of the 15cm cable from the inside to one of the Blue Strip Lights before sticking both strip lights to the sides of the inside of this section.
Eliminate excess cable by laying them underneath LEGO pieces then reconnect the propeller.
12.) We will now install another 2 blue lights to the front left propeller section. Turn the helicarrier over for easier access, then remove the propeller.
Connect another 15cm connecting cable to the same expansion board as in the previous step.
Follow previous steps to install another 2x Blue Strip Lights (and another 15cm connecting cable) to the front left propeller section.
Once all the propeller lights have been installed, turn on the battery pack to verify all is working OK.
13.) We will now install lights for the front part of the helicarrier. First take another 15cm connecting cable and connect it to the same expansion board used in the previous step.
Take 2x White Strip Lights and then stick them onto provided LEGO plates 1×6. Connect the 2 Strip Lights together using a 5cm connecting cablestick the strip lights to LEGO plates using adhesive backing
Take the LEGO Road plate section (with logo on the top) and then turn over to allow us to mount the 2x White Strip Lights underneath in the following position. Before mounting strip lights, connect the other end of the 15cm cable from expansion board to one of the White Strip Lights.
Reconnect the Road Plate and then turn on the battery pack to verify these lights are working OK
14.) Locate the other 6-port expansion board (which we connected in step 10) and then take a 5cm connecting cable and connect it to a White Strip Light (after sticking onto provided LEGO 1×6 plate). Connect the other end of the 5cm cable to the 6-port expansion board we located.
Set these components aside for now as we will connect these later.
15.) We will now install lights to the control room section that is positioned on the top of the helicarrier. First remove the window section.
Take a White 30cm Bit Light and then mount it to the top of the inside of the window using an adhesive square. Reconnect the window with bit light installed and ensure the cable is laid behind. The Bit Light should be shining down.
Turn over to the other side and then secure the bit light cable by disconnecting and reconnecting plates over the top.
Ensure cable is laid in between studs
Remove the satellite dish section and then take a Flashing White 30cm Bit Light and place it directly over the stud underneath. Secure the bit light in place by reconnecting the satellite dish section over the top. Ensure the cable is also laid behind.
Turn over to the other side and then lay the cable behind pieces at the back.
16.) Take the entire upper road section and then turn over so we can access underneath.
Locate the White Strip Light and 6-port expansion board from step 14 and mount them (using 2x adhesive squares) to the following positions underneath.
Take the control room section and then place it on top of the helicarrier towards the right and connect both the Bit Light cables from the control room to the 6-port expansion board.
Securely reconnect the entire upper road section and then reconnect the control room on top ensuring you neatly lay the cables behind.
Ensure cables from the control room are neatly laid in between and underneath the upper road section
It’s now time to finally turn on the battery pack to allow us to neaten up cabling underneath the upper road section. Lay the cables towards the side as much as possible before reconnecting the remaining LEGO road plate to secure cables and prevent them from being obviously seen.
Well done! You have finally completed installation of the SHIELD Helicarrier Lighting Kit. Turn on and ENJOY!

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!
Instructions for installing this kit
1.) We will first install lights to clock tower. To start, disconnect the the top part of the tower from where the bottom of the clock is.
Disconnect the 3 sections of the tower as per below:
Remove clock border sections from all four sides of the tower and then remove the top section above the clock
Carefully remove clock sections from all four sides of the tower as per below.
Remove the light grey 2×6 technic plate from the centre.
2.) Take 2x White 15cm Bit Lights and then stick them to the following positions using 2x Adhesive Squares.
Take another 2x White 15cm Bit Lights and then stick them to adhesive squares before bending the cable up in a 90 degree angle as per below.
Stick both Bit Lights to the following positions (directly over black studs):
Take the top 2 Bit Light cables and then bring them together before looping the connector sides through the first hole of the light grey technic plate we removed earlier.
Repeat this step to install another 4x White 15cm Bit Lights to the opposite side of the tower.
After threading the top two Bit Light cables through the whole of the technic plate, reconnect the plate in place ensuring cables underneath are in between studs.
3.) Turn to the next side along and then install another 4x White 15cm Bit Lights to the top and bottom corners in the below positions. (You will notice on these sides of the tower that there is only one plate to stick the top 2 lights on. Ensure you are sticking the Bit Lights to the exact same position as shown below).
Follow this same method to install another 4x White 15cm Bit Lights to the remaining side of the tower.
4.) Take one of the clock sections and carefully reconnect it to the tower ensuring cables are neatly laid in between studs as you connect it. Ensure you first reconnect the clock section to the side you have just installed Bit Lights to.
Next, reconnect the clock section to the opposite side of the tower, ensuring you are keeping studs underneath free from cables.
Turn to the next side and then carefully reconnect the clock section.
4.) Before we reconnect the remaining clock section, take the 50cm Connecting Cable and thread one side through the first hole from the top of the light grey technic plate.
Pull the cable down all the way until you have about 10cm of cable slack between the top of the light grey plate and the connector before connecting it to a 6-Port Expansion Board.
Carefully disconnect the 1×6 tile from below and then thread the cable through one of the gaps. Pull the cable all the way down from underneath but ensure you still leave the 10cm of excess cable above.
Reconnect the 1×6 tile ensuring the cable is neatly laid in between studs and then carefully reconnect the remaining clock section.
5.) Take all the Bit Light cables and bring them together by twisting them around each other to form one larger cable.
Take the section we removed from above and then thread all cables as well as the expansion board through the bottom of it before securely reconnecting on top of the clock section.
Take 2x 5cm Connecting Cables and 2x 8-Port Expansion Boards and connect the the cables to end ports to join the expansion boards together.
Connect the other end of the 5cm cable to the 6-port expansion board on top of the clock and then connect all Bit Light Cables to available ports.
Now take the time to test all the lights we have installed so far. Take the AA Battery Pack and insert 3x AA Batteries into it. Connect the battery pack cable into the spare port on the expansion board and turn on to verify all 4 lights from each side of the tower are 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 front lights are working OK.
Once you have verified all is OK, disconnect the battery pack/usb cable and then reconnect to the border sections to each side.
6.) We will now install lights to the top sections. Take the middle section and then disconnect pieces as per below.
Take a White 15cm Bit Light and then place it in the very centre of the base. Secure it in place by reconnecting the trans-clear pieces directly over the top.
Reconnect remaining piece we removed earlier and then reconnect the roof.
NOTE: The side with the exposed cable will be facing toward the back.
7.) Take the section below and then turn over so we can access underneath of it.
Take the 2x Green Strip Lights and connect 2x 5cm Connecting Cables (one in between strip lights and another to the other side of a strip light). Use their adhesive backing to stick the green strip lights to the below positions underneath.
Ensure the strip lights are stuck in the exact position as shown above otherwise we will not be able to reconnect this section.
Push the 5cm cable in between strip lights inward so that it does not get caught and stick out when we reconnect this section.
8.) Take the top roof and then thread the Bit Light cable down below before reconnecting over the section we just installed strip lights to.
Pull the Bit Light cable down just enough to be able to then connect it into the strip light with the spare port.
Tuck the expansion boards from the top of the tower in as much as possible and then take the roof section and connect the 5cm cable from the green strip light into the remaining port on the expansion board.
Reconnect roof on top of the clock section and ensure all is secure.
You can now test what we have done so far by connecting the 50cm cable from the base of the clock to a spare expansion board and connect up the battery pack or usb cable again. Verify all is working OK.
If all is OK, reconnect this whole section back to the rest of the tower and ensure you leave the 50cm cable outside the back.
9.) Turn Big Ben over to the back and remove the roof.
You will require the LEGO removal tool to assist with this next step.
Follow below images to get in between sections to allow us to remove a few 1×1 Bricks from the back. This will allow us to thread cable inside the building.
Disclaimer: You will notice you will have another 3x trans-black bricks which are not pictured in this user guide. These will also need to be removed.
After successfully removing bricks you can reconnect all sections back together, without the bricks we were required to remove.
10.) We will now install lights to the lamp posts at the bottom. First remove all three lamp posts and disconnect the tops.
Take a White 30cm Bit Light and then place it directly over the lamp post piece. Secure it in place by reconnecting the top pieces directly over the Bit Light as shown below.
Repeat this step to install another 2x White 30cm Bit Lights to the remaining 2 lamp posts.
11.) Disconnect the following pieces from the bottom.
Connect the first lamp post and then lay the cable in between studs before reconnecting one of the light grey tiles over the top of it to secure it in place.
Continue to lay the cable down and securing it place by reconnecting more tiles.
Take a Black Plate 1×6 (which came in this light kit) and connect it to the following position. Take a Dark Bluish Grey Tile 1×1 and connect it to the next stud along.
Take the second lamp post and thread the connector side of it through the following space and then thread all along until it reaches the back. Pull it all the way through and then connect the lamp post on the black stud.
Ensure the cable for the lamp post is pushed down and then reconnect the light grey tile over the top.
Reconnect the next lot of dark grey tiles.
Take the cable from the first lamp post we connected and thread the cable through the last space and then out the back so that both cables are through.
Connect the remaining lamp post and then push down the cable to allow us to reconnect the remaining light grey tile.
12.) Take the remaining 6-Port Expansion Board and connect a 30cm Connecting Cable to it followed by the 3 Bit Light cables from the lamp posts.
Thread the expansion board and cables through the spacing we created when we removed the bricks from the corner of the building.
Take the 50cm cable from the tower and connect it to the expansion board we just threaded through. We will not have enough cable length to allow us to easily do this so we will need to disconnect top sections of the wall. Follow the below images to remove sections to allow us to connect the cable to the expansion board.
Pull the Bit Light cables in from the inside so that minimal cabling is left on the outside, then secure the Bit Light cables to the back of the wall using tape. Ensure you do not pull in the 30cm cable.
Reconnect sections we removed earlier (trans black bricks in the corner).
Hide the 50cm cable underneath tiles as shown below and then reconnect the roof.
13.) We will now install spot lights to light the outside of the building. Starting from the side where we already have a black 1×6 plate connected, locate the following LEGO pieces which came provided in this light kit and then assemble them together according to images below.
Plate 1×6, Black
Plate, Modified 1×2 with handle on End — Close Ends, Black
Tile, Modified 1×1 with Clip, Black
Take a White Strip Light and stick it to the base of the Lego plate using the adhesive backing. Since we will be installing a total of 6 Strip Lights to use as spotlights we will identify this particular one as striplight#1
Locate the spare end of the 30cm connecting cable from the corner of the building and thread it through the spacing at the back of the building and then out through the second space behind the lamp posts. Connect this cable to the right port of striplight#1.
Take a 15cm Connecting Cable and connect it to the left port of striplight#1 and then connect the base of the spot light to the black 1×6 plate.
Turn the building around to the front and then remove the following 1×2 LEGO tile and then replace with a black 1×6 plate as well as a dark grey 1×1 tile.
Take another Plate, Modified 1×2 with handle on End — Close Ends, Black and Tile, Modified 1×1 with Clip, Black and assemble them together to make another spot light.
Take another White Strip Light (striplight#2) and stick it onto another Black 1×6 Plate. Connect the other end of the 15cm connecting cable from striplight#1 the right port and then connect a new 15cm connecting cable to the left port. Connect the plate with striplight#2 to the spot light base.
Locate LEGO pieces to assemble another 2 spotlight bases and then connect them to the following positions as per below.
Take 2x White Strip Lights and stick them onto Lego 1×6 plates (striplight#3 & striplight#4). Connect the two together using a 5cm Connecting Cable and then connect a 15cm Connecting Cable to the right port of the striplight#4
Connect the 15cm connecting cable from striplight#2 to the right port of striplight#3 and then connect both plates to the spot light bases as per below.
Assemble another few spot light pieces and connect them to the following position.
Take another White Strip Light (striplight#5) and stick it onto a 1×6 plate. Connect another 15cm connecting cable to the left port of striplight#5 and then connect the other end of the 15cm cable from striplight#4 to the right port.
Connect the plate with striplight#5 onto the spot light base.
Turn over to the left side of the building and then connect a black 1×6 plate as well as spot light pieces to the following position.
Take the last White Strip Light (striplight#6) and then stick onto the remaining 1×6 plate. Connect the other end of the 15cm cable from striplight#5 to the right port and then connect the plate with striplight#6 to the spotlight base.
14.) Take the AA Battery Pack/ USB Cable and position against the back wall and connect the battery pack cable to the left port on striplight#6.
Finally, turn on the battery pack and ensure all spot lights are working. Adjust the angles of the spotlights to ensure they are all shining evenly onto the building.

OK, Let’s Begin!
Instructions for installing this kit
1.) We will start by installing lights to the 2 lamps at the front door. Start by disconnecting the top sections of the castle so we can work with just the base. Remove the following lamp sections as per below.
You will require a LEGO Removal Tool to assist you in removing LEGO sections and creating gaps where required.
2.) Use the LEGO Removal Tool to lift and create a gap at the following position on the right side of the front door.
Remove the following sections
3.) Take one of the lamp sections and disassemble as per below
Take a White 30cm Bit Light and thread the connector side through the top (smaller hole) of the pearl gold round plate. Thread all the way through until the LED component of the Bit Light is right up against the bottom of the plate.
Reconnect the pearl gold plate back to the rest of the lamp ensuring the LED Component is clearly visible, then reconnect the remaining LEGO pieces to the lamp.
Ensure the LED Component is clearly visible from the front of the lamp
Reconnect the lamp with bit light installed back to the castle and then remove the right door.
4.) Thread the other end of the cable through to the inside of the castle and then lay the cable neatly underneath the gap we created. Reconnect the door to secure the cable in place.
Reconnect pieces we removed earlier and then close the gap by pushing down pieces together.
5.) Repeat step 2 to remove pieces and create another gap to the left side of the door.
6.) Repeat steps 3 and 4 to install another White 30cm Bit Light to the lamp on the right, then reconnect sections and push down on bricks to close up the gap.
7.) Turn the castle around so that we can access the inside and then pull the cables right through from the doorway.
Remove the following tiles from the base of the second floor and then remove the 6×8 plate from the middle, followed by the 2×10 plate behind.
Thread the 2 cables from front door up this space we have created and then set aside.
8.) Use the LEGO removal tool to lift and remove the middle section as per below.
Take a Strip Light and connect a 15cm connecting cable on each port (total 2x connecting cables). Since we are using several strip lights in this lighting kit, we will identify this one as striplight#1
Peel off the adhesive backing paper and to allow us to stick it to the base of balcony as close as possible to the 1×6 plate
Pull the connecting cables over before reconnecting the 2×10 brown plate and middle section we removed earlier
9.) Remove the following sections of the base of the second floor and then thread the connecting cable from the left port on striplight#1 underneath the 6×8 plate (but over the beam below) through to the left side.
Repeat this process for the right section and cable from the right port on striplight#1.
10.) We will now install lights to the chandelier. First remove this entire section at the 2×2 plate and then disassemble pieces as per below:
Take out 8 of the provided trans orange round plates which came in this set.
11.) Take a White 30cm Bit Light and then bend the LED component on a 90 degree angle with the component face up. Place the bit light inside one of the white round pieces and then secure by connecting a trans orange plate directly over it.
Repeat the above process to install another 7x White 30 Bit Lights using provided trans orange round plates to secure.
12.) Connect each light section back to the wheel ensuring each cable is facing toward the centre of the wheel.
Group all the cables together and then twist/wind them around each other so that they all come together to form one large cable.
Reconnect this section back to the roof of the ground floor.
13.) Bring the cables of the chandelier toward the front of the castle and then thread the cables up the space which leads to the second level. Lay the cables in between studs of the first brown brick before reconnecting the middle 6×8 plate directly over the top as well as the brown tiles we removed earlier.
14.) Take a 12-Port Expansion Board and then connect all lights from the chandelier as well as the 2 front door lights we installed at the start into available ports of the expansion board.
This is now a good time to test the lights we have installed so far. To do this take the USB Power Cable and connect it to your USB Power Bank. Connect the other end of the USB Power Cable into a spare port on the expansion board and turn on to confirm all the lights are working OK.
15.) Let’s move onto lighting the rest of the ground floor. Take a Strip Light (striplight#2) and then stick it onto a provided 1×6 plate. Connect a 5cm connecting cable into one of the ports. Take this strip light and connect the loose 15cm cable hanging from the left side of the roof into the spare port and then mount to the roof in the below position. Ensure the 5cm connecting cable is facing the right.
16.) Take another Strip Light (striplight#3) and stick to a 1×6 plate. Connect a 30cm connecting cable to one of the ports on the strip light. Take this strip light and connect the loose 15cm cable hanging from the right side of the roof into the spare port and mount to the roof in the below position. Ensure the 30cm connecting cable is facing the right.
You can prevent the cable from hanging down by looping them behind the strip light like what I have done here
Thread the other end of the 30cm cable up behind the back wall which leads up to the level above. Pull up from underneath and then connect the cable into one of the spare ports on the 12-port expansion board.
Take this time to test our lights we have installed so far by connecting back the USB Power Cable to the expansion board and verifying all is OK.
17.) We will now install lights to the 2 fire torches. First remove them and then disassemble pieces as per below:
Locate the provided 2x torch bases with Bit Light installed and connect your original 2x trans orange flame pieces over the top.
Reconnect these 2 sections back to the poles and then back to the pillars ensuring the cables are behind.
18.) We now need to thread the cable for each torch underneath the pillars at the below position.
To do this, use your LEGO removal tool to lift and create a gap opening to allow you to thread the bit light cable through the middle in between studs. Once threaded through close up the gap by reconnecting down the pillars.
Repeat this process for the torch cable on the other side.
19.) Take out one of the Flicker Effects Boards and connect the torch cables into the any 2 output ports as shown below:
20.) Locate the 5cm cable from striplight#2 hanging from the roof and connect this into the input port on the flicker effects board. Use 2x provided Adhesive Squares to mount the effects board to the top of the wall in the below position.
21.)We now need to eliminate excess cables from the 2 torches. To do this, bring the cables up and lay them underneath the grey tiles on the roof of the ground floor. You will need to first disconnect tiles, lay the cables in between studs, then reconnect the tiles over the top of them as shown below.
Test all the lights and effects are working together by connecting the USB Power Cable to the expansion board above. Turn on and verify all is OK.
22.) We will now move onto installing lights to each of the towers on the first floor. Remove the roof off the far left tower from the round white base as per below. Take a White 30cm Bit Light and stick underneath the white round plate in the below position using an adhesive square.
Reconnect this roof section back to the tower ensuring the cable for the bit light is laid over the grey bricks underneath toward the right.
Remove the roof off the next tower along and install another White 30cm Bit Light underneath the white round base using an adhesive square. Reconnect roof with cable in between the white round plate and grey brick underneath facing toward the centre.
23.) Repeat previous steps to install another 2x White 30cm Bit Lights for the two towers on the right side using adhesive squares(one bit light each).
You can use tape to neaten up and secure the cables to the sides of the tower.
24.) We will now install a light to the clock on the front. First remove the sections on each side of the front of the tower as per below.
From the back of the castle, use the LEGO removal tool to lift this section off at the following position.
Remove the clock piece as well as following pieces from the front.
25.) Take a White 30cm Bit Light and thread the connector side through one of the holes of the grey holes behind. Thread all the way through until you have about 5cm cable left. Stick the bit light to the following position using an adhesive square.
