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.
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.
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 Micro Cable connectors to Micro Expansion Board Ports
Take extra care when inserting the micro connectors to micro ports of Micro Expansion Boards. Connecting Micro Bit Lights to Micro Expansion Boards is similar to connecting lights and cables to Strip Lights. With the expansion board 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, do not force it. Use your fingernail to push the plastic part of the connector to the micro port.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.) The first section we will light up are the main characters on their “Stranger Things” platform. First, disconnect Mike, then disassemble his flash light. Take a White 15cm Bit Light and place it over the hilt’s stud. Secure it in place by reconnecting the trans clear round plate 1×1 over the top. Fold the Bit Light cable down toward the bottom of the hilt, then reconnect it to Mike’s hand ensuring the cable is also clipped inside. Reconnect Mike to the platform. 2.) Disconnect Lucas, then disassemble his flash light. Take a White 15cm Bit Light and with the cable facing the bottom of the flash light hilt, place it over the hilt’s stud. Since we can’t reconnect the trans clear tile over the bit light, discard this piece and connect a provided Trans clear Round Plate 1×1 over the top to secure the light in place. Wind the Bit Light cable behind the flash light, then reconnect it to Lucas’ hand ensuring the cable is also clipped inside. Reconnect Lucas to the platform. 3.) Turn the platform around, then connect the two Bit Light cables to a 6-Port Expansion Board. Take a Flat Battery Pack and insert 2x NEW CR2032 Batteries. Connect the battery pack cable to the expansion board and turn it ON to test the flashlights are working OK. Important Note: As of June 2022, Flat Battery Packs have been removed due to child safety regulations. Please read below to see an alternative power source (50cm Connecting Cable). Note: If you experience any issues with the lights not working and suspect an issue with a component, please try a different port on the expansion board to verify where the fault lies (with the light or expansion board). To correct any issues with expansion board ports, please view the section addressing expansion board issues on our online troubleshooting guide. 4.) Use 2x Adhesive Squares to mount the expansion board behind the bottom of the platform, then use another 2x Adhesive Squares to mount the flat battery pack (with cable facing the left) on the back of the Stranger Things board. Neaten up the excess cable by grouping them together and twisting/folding them around each other into a neat bunch. Secure the two cables down to the back of the platform, using sticky tape. This now completes installation for this section. If you wish to tether the power for the flash lights to the main light kit for the house rather than using batteries, connect the provided 50cm Connecting Cable to a spare port on the expansion board. You can connect the other end of the cable to the main circuit later on.![](http://guides.lightmybricks.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/IMG_2982-300x225.jpg)

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.) We will first install the left stage light. Start by disconnecting the curved plate above it, then remove the stage light via the technic 1×2 brick. Disassemble the stage light as shown below: Take a Warm White 30cm Large Bit Light and thread the connector end of the cable through the bottom of the light grey round plate. Thread it all the way through, then carefully bend the LED so that it sits flat against the edge of the hole. Flip the light grey round plate around and lay the cable in between studs. Reconnect it to the stage light section, ensuring the cable is facing the black technic 1×2 brick, then reconnect the trans clear 2×2 plate with rounded bottom over the top. 2.) Reconnect the stage light to the set but first, lay the Bit Light cable in between the two studs underneath the black technic brick. Reconnect the black curved plate on top. Turn the set around to the left side and connect the Bit Light to a 6-Port Expansion Board. Take the AA Battery Pack and insert 3x NEW AA Batteries to it. Connect the battery pack cable to the 6-Port Expansion Board, then turn it ON to test the stage light is working OK. Note: If you experience any issues with the lights not working and suspect an issue with a component, please try a different port on the expansion board to verify where the fault lies (with the light or expansion board). To correct any issues with expansion board ports, please view the section addressing expansion board issues on our online troubleshooting guide. 3.) We will now install lights to the wall lamps. First, disconnect the following dark green tiles from the top of the walls, then disconnect the following wall sections to allow us to disconnect the bricks with clips that are holding the lamps. Disassemble one of the wall lamp sections as shown below, then take a White 15cm Micro Bit Light and place the led inside one of the gold plates with shafts. Ensuring the LED is facing up, secure the Bit Light in place by reconnecting the gold plate with open stud. If you look carefully inside, the LED should be visible and in the middle of the hole. Reconnect the trans clear piece, then lay the cable in between the clip of the 1×1 brick it connects to before reconnecting the lamp to it. Reconnect the lamp to the wall ensuring you first lay the cable to the side of the stud it connects on top of. 4.) Repeat the previous step to install another White 15cm Micro Bit Light to the other lamp section before reconnecting it to the wall. 5.) Turn the set around and connect the two Micro Bit Lights to a Micro 4-Port Expansion Board. Take a 5cm Connecting Cable and connect it to one of the larger ports on the micro expansion board. Connect the other end of the cable to the 6-Port Expansion Board to the right of it, then turn ON the AA Battery Pack to test the wall lamps are working OK. 6.) Reconnect the wall sections we removed, then disconnect the “service” sign section at the black pole. Disassemble this section as shown below: Take a White 30cm Bit Light and thread the connector end of the cable through the bottom of the red round plate with open stud. Thread the cable all the way through, then reconnect the round plate to the brown plates ensuring the LED is facing diagonally down on the left side of the round red plate. We are positioning the LED this way, so that it will shine down onto Gunther’s section behind the cash register. 7.) Turn the sign section over so we can access underneath, then take another White 30cm Bit Light and with the cable facing away from you, place it in the centre of the front brown plate. Fold the cable down over the front of the brown plate, before reconnecting the “service” tile over the top. The LED is positioned in the centre so that it will shine directly down onto the cafe area. Bring the cable from the first Bit Light over the top of the sign toward the back, then reconnect the arrow tile over the top. Flip the sign over onto it’s front, then take the two cables and twist them around each other 2-3 times at the left side to lock them in place. Reconnect the sign back to the set. 8.) Bring the cables underneath the black pole, then secure them both underneath the dark green tile behind ensuring they are both laid in between studs underneath. Turn the set around so that we are facing the outside of the left wall, then bring the two cables down the top of the back wall, laying them in between the following studs. Secure the cables down by reconnecting the dark green tile. 9.) Connect both Bit Light cables to spare ports on the 6-Port Expansion Board, then turn ON the battery pack to test the Service sign lights are working OK. Note: If you experience any issues with the lights not working and suspect an issue with a component, please try a different port on the expansion board to verify where the fault lies (with the light or expansion board). To correct any issues with expansion board ports, please view the section addressing expansion board issues on our online troubleshooting guide. Before we reconnect all the dark green tiles, take the cable from the stage light and lay them around studs on the top of the wall. Secure them by reconnecting the dark green tiles over the top of the cable, one at a time. 10.) We will now install lights to the lamp in the corner. First disconnect the table with flowers, then disconnect the lamp from the corner and disassemble it as per below: Take a White 15cm Micro Bit Light and carefully bend the LED slightly up, then place it inside the bottom of one of the gold round plates with open stud. Secure the LED in place by reconnecting one of the flame pieces. The LED should be secured in between the flame piece and gold plate as shown below. Ensuring the cable is facing the back, reconnect this section to the front of the lamp post. 11.) Repeat previous step to install another White 15cm Micro Bit Light to another fire section, then reconnect it to the lamp post ensuring the cable is laid behind. Turn the lamp post over and install another 2x White 15cm Micro Bit Lights, then reconnect them to the lamp post ensuring the cables from the front two lights are laid in between the gaps on the curved gold brick underneath. 12.) We will need to remove sections of the wall in order for us to bring the lamp post light cables behind. Follow the below images to disconnect the following sections of the wall. Reconnect the lamp post and lay the cables over the wall, then turn the set around to the back. Lay the two left cables in between studs, then lay the other two cables in between the next studs along. Reconnect all the wall sections we removed earlier. 13.) Connect the four Micro Bit Lights to a new Micro 4-Port Expansion Board. Take a 15cm Connecting Cable and connect it to one of the larger ports on the expansion board, then bring the cable around to the right side and connect it to one of the OUT ports on a Flicker Effects Board. Take a 5cm Connecting Cable and connect it to the IN port on the Flicker Effects Board. Connect the other end of the cable to one of the larger ports on the other Micro 4-Port Expansion Board to the right. Turn ON the battery pack to test the lamp lights are working and flickering OK. Note: If you experience any issues with the lights not working and suspect an issue with a component, please try a different port on the expansion board to verify where the fault lies (with the light or expansion board). To correct any issues with expansion board ports, please view the section addressing expansion board issues on our online troubleshooting guide. 14.) Take 2x Adhesive Squares and stick them on the back of the Micro 4-Port Expansion Board we connected the lamp post lights to. Stick the expansion board to the bottom of the wall in the following position, then bring the four cables together and secure them to the wall using tape. Lift the set up so we can access underneath, then secure the excess cables from the Micro Bit Lights underneath the following two black plates at the bottom of the set. Turn the set back around again and reconnect the table with flowers in front of the lamp post. 15.) Stick an Adhesive Square to the back of the Flicker Effects Board, and another 2x Adhesive Squares on the back of the other Micro 4-Port Expansion Board. Stick both boards inside the space at the bottom of the wall toward the right. Use your LEGO removal tool to push down the boards so they securely stick down to the studs. 16.) Turn the set around to the front entrance area and disconnect the roof section above the doors. Take a Warm White Strip Light and connect a 50cm Connecting Cable to the left port. Take a 5cm Connecting Cable and connect it to the Strip Light’s right port, then using it’s adhesive backing, stick the strip light underneath the roof section in the following position ensuring the 5cm cable is on the right side. 17.) Take another Warm White Strip Light and connect the other end of the 5cm Cable from previous step to it’s left port. Take a new 5cm Connecting Cable and connect it to the strip light’s right port. Flip the roof section over and reconnect it to the set. Bring the 5cm cable and strip light through to the inside of the building by slipping it in between the wall sections. Bring the other end of the 50cm Connecting Cable through to the inside by slipping it in between wall sections, then bring the cable across to the right, laying it in between the dark green and beige tiles. Bring the cable back outside, securing it in place by slipping it in between wall sections as shown below. 18.) Disconnect the following dark green tile to the right, then lay the cable in between studs before reconnecting the tile over the top. Continue to bring the cable around to the right side and lay it in between studs underneath the following dark green tiles. 19.) Turn the set around to the far right side and secure the 50cm connecting cable underneath the following dark green tile on the left, then connect the cable to the remaining port on the 6-Port Expansion Board. Turn ON the battery pack to test the two strip lights we have connected are working OK. Note: If you experience any issues with the lights not working and suspect an issue with a component, please try a different port on the expansion board to verify where the fault lies (with the light or expansion board). To correct any issues with expansion board ports, please view the section addressing expansion board issues on our online troubleshooting guide. Tuck the remaining two expansion boards inside the space at the bottom of the wall, then neaten up all the cables and secure them to the wall using tape. 20.) From the inside of the set, locate the Warm White Strip Light and using it’s adhesive backing, stick it underneath the two beige coloured tiles just above the front entrance. Because the tiles are thin, the strip light will only partially stick underneath them. Secure the 5cm Connecting cable from the left underneath the following square tile, then disconnect the two longer tiles above the entrance and hide the 50cm cable on the back side of the studs underneath. Reconnect the two tiles over the top. Bring the 5cm Connecting Cable on the right over to the front side of the wall, slipping it in between the wall sections. Turn the set around, then take the remaining Warm White Strip Light and connect the 5cm Connecting Cable we brought over to it’s right port. Leave the strip light as is for now as we will fix it underneath the roof section later. 21.) We will now install the remaining large bit light to the stage light on the right side of the set. First disconnect the black curved plate on top, then disconnect and disassemble the stage light section as per below Take a Warm White Large 30cm Bit Light and install it to this stage light following the same method we used to install the first stage light. Reconnect the stage light ensuring you first thread the cable through the stage light post and lay it in between studs underneath the technic brick. Reconnect the black curved plate on top. 22.) Turn the set around and connect the Large Bit Light to the Strip Light. Turn ON the battery pack to test all the lights are working OK. Using it’s adhesive backing, stick the strip light underneath the middle of the roof section as shown below. 23.) Wind up the large bit light cable 2-3 times at the stage light post so the cable locks and is prevented from dangling down, then fold the cable together and thread it through the back of the post. Pull the cable all the way out from the front side. Thread the cable back through the following space, pulling it all the way out from the back side of the post. Repeat this process again then tie a knot in the cable around the pole to secure everything in place. Fold and twist up the remaining excess cable, then tuck it inside the stage post. Finally, turn ON the Battery Pack to test all your lights are working OK. Note: If you experience any issues with the lights not working and suspect an issue with a component, please try a different port on the expansion board to verify where the fault lies (with the light or expansion board). To correct any issues with expansion board ports, please view the section addressing expansion board issues on our online troubleshooting guide.This finally completes installation of the Light My Bricks Friends Central Perk Light Kit.

Take the following section and disconnect all the trans coloured pieces, then take 2x White 15cm Bit Lights and with the cables facing up, place the bit lights down in the following positions, in between studs. Secure the lights in place by reconnecting the trans coloured section over the top. Ensure both Bit Lights are secured directly in between studs as shown below: 3.) Take both cables and thread them through the space on the right, which leads to the inside of the castle. Pull the cables all the way out from the inside, then reconnect the lava section. Ensure both cables are neatly laid along the right of the following light grey stud. 4.) Take another White 15cm Bit Light and with the other end of the cable facing the right, place the bit light in between the two grey studs. Ensuring the cable is laid toward the right around the side closest to the front, secure the bit light in place by reconnecting the trans orange wall piece over the top. It is very important that the cable is laid on the side of the grey stud closest to the front. This will prevent the cable from snapping later on when the pieces are reconnected on top. Take the other end of the Bit Light cable and thread it through the space on the right, then pull it all the way out from the inside of the castle. Reconnect the two dark grey wall sections starting with the one on the right. Ensure the three cables are laid around the far left stud before reconnecting the left wall section over the top. 5.) Take your AA Battery Pack and insert 3x AA Batteries to it. Connect the battery pack cable to a 6-Port Expansion Board, then connect the three bit light cables to it. Turn the battery pack ON to test that all three lights are working OK. Note: If you experience any issues with the lights not working and suspect an issue with a component, please try a different port on the expansion board to verify where the fault lies (with the light or expansion board). To correct any issues with expansion board ports, please view the section addressing expansion board issues on our online troubleshooting guide. 6.) Take the following section we removed earlier and disconnect the light grey plate from underneath. Disconnect the trans orange section, then reconnect the light grey plate to the front of the castle. Take 2x White 15cm Bit Lights and with the cables facing the back, place them over the two trans orange round tiles. Ensuring both cables are laid in between the studs in the centre, reconnect the trans orange section over the top to secure them in place. Reconnect the section we removed the light grey plate from earlier, ensuring the cables are first laid in between studs. Continue to reconnect surrounding sections we removed in step 1. 7.) From the inside of the castle, connect the two bit light cables we just installed to the next ports along the 6-port expansion board, then turn ON the battery Pack to test all the lava lights are working OK. Note: If you experience any issues with the lights not working and suspect an issue with a component, please try a different port on the expansion board to verify where the fault lies (with the light or expansion board). To correct any issues with expansion board ports, please view the section addressing expansion board issues on our online troubleshooting guide. Disconnect the AA Battery Pack, then take a Multi Effects Board and connect a 5cm Connecting Cable to one of the OUT ports (side with 2 ports). Connect the other end of the 5cm cable to the 6-port expansion board, then connect your AA Battery Pack to the IN port on the multi-effects board (side with 1 port) 8.) We will now configure the Multi Effects Board. Turn ON the AA Battery Pack and configure your desired effect by simply flicking the switch and adjusting the speed wheel. To configure the effect used in the Light My Bricks example, set the switch to the far right for ‘pulse’ effect. Turn the wheel all the way to left for the slowest speed.![](http://guides.lightmybricks.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/IMG_7197-300x225.jpg)

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.
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.
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.) We will first light up the train station. First remove the train, then disconnect the bridge section and the following lamp sections by unclipping them from the wall. 2.) Disassemble the lamps as shown below, then take a White 30cm Bit Light and thread the connector end of the cable through the base (larger hole) of the trans yellow round brick. Thread it all the way in, then secure it in place by reconnecting the black clip on top. Ensure the LED on the bit light is facing the front of the brick. Repeat this process to install another White 30cm Bit Light to the other lamp. 3.) Carefully disconnect the upper part of the wall so that it creates a gap where the lamps were connected to. Thread each lamp cable all the way through this space, then reconnect the lamp to the clip. Ensure the cables are laid neatly in between the studs as shown below: Once the lamps are reconnected, carefully reconnect the upper wall section to close up the gap while ensuring the cables are laid neatly in between studs. 4.) Turn the station around to the back and fold down the cables against the wall so they run flat down the wall. Secure the cables underneath the following bricks. First disconnect each brick, bring the cable inside, then reconnect the brick while ensuring the cable is laid in between studs. This will also eliminate unwanted cable from behind the set. 5.) Take a 6-Port Expansion Board and connect the two bit light cables to it. Take your AA Battery Pack and insert 3x AA Batteries to it. Connect the battery pack to the expansion board and turn it ON to test the lights we have installed so far are working OK. USB Power Cable has replaced Flat & Round Battery Packs (CR2032) as of June 2022 due to child safety regulations. Please use the USB Power Cable in place of the Battery Pack. Note: If you experience any issues with the lights not working and suspect an issue with a component, please try a different port on the expansion board to verify where the fault lies (with the light or expansion board). To correct any issues with expansion board ports, please view the section addressing expansion board issues on our online troubleshooting guide. 6.) We will now light up the remaining wall lamp. First disconnect it then remove the black plate with clip from underneath. Take a White 15cm Bit Light and with the cable facing the clip, lay it over the stud. Secure it in place by reconnecting the lamp piece over the top. Thread the cable through the top of the black plate’s clip, then pull it all the way out from underneath as shown below: 7.) Carefully disconnect the upper section of the wall to create another gap, then thread the bit light cable through the gap in between studs. Reconnect the lamp back to the wall, then close up the gap ensuring the cable is neatly laid in between studs. Turn the set around to the back again and fold the cable down along the back of the wall. Turn the set onto it’s front so we can access underneath, then disconnect the long black brick. Connect the bit light cable to the next spare port on the 6-port Expansion Board below, then turn ON the battery pack to test the light is working OK. Note: If you experience any issues with the lights not working and suspect an issue with a component, please try a different port on the expansion board to verify where the fault lies (with the light or expansion board). To correct any issues with expansion board ports, please view the section addressing expansion board issues on our online troubleshooting guide. 8.) Take a 30cm Connecting Cable and connect it to a spare port on the expansion board, then reconnect the long black brick ensuring you first pull the 30cm cable all the way out, and pull the White 15cm Bit Light cable all the way inside. Also make sure each cable is laid in between studs before completely closing up the gaps. 9.) From the back of the set, take the other end of the 30cm Connecting Cable and thread it through the first gap on the bottom of the steps, then pull the cable all the way out from the front. From the front of the set, thread the cable back through the next gap up the steps and pull it all the way out from the back of the set. 10.) Partially disconnect the top section above the steps to create a gap, then bring the cable all the way up and thread it in between studs through this gap we created. Pull the cable all the way out from the other side, then close up the gap ensuring the cable is laid in between the studs. Thread the cable underneath to bring the cable around to the front side 11.) Take the bridge section we removed earlier and turn it onto it’s back so we can access underneath. Take a White 15cm Bit Light and a provided LEGO Trans Clear Plate 2×2 with rounded bottom. Use this LEGO piece to install the Bit Light underneath the front platform of the bridge by connecting it to the roof with Bit Light LED facing down the centre of the trans clear piece. Ensure the other end of the cable is facing the bridge. From the back of the bridge, partially disconnect the top section to create a gap above the dark grey brick. Bring the cable through this gap, then reconnect this section to close up the gap ensuring the cable is laid in between studs. Follow the below images to continue to thread the cable around sections to eliminate excess cable: 12.) Take a White Strip Light and using it’s adhesive backing, stick it to the base of a provided LEGO Plate 1×6. Take the other end of the White 15cm Bit Light from underneath the bridge and connect it to the Strip Light. Take the other end of the 30cm Connecting Cable from the other side of the station and connect it to the other side of the Strip Light. Mount the strip light underneath the bridge in the following position, then reconnect the bridge to the train station. Eliminate excess cabling from the White 15cm Bit Light by looping the cable underneath the strip light’s lego plate. Eliminate excess cabling from the 30cm Connecting cable by twisting the cable around itself a few times, then tucking it in to the space underneath the steps as shown below ensuring they are tucked in between studs. Follow the below images to continue to hide excess cables underneath and in between pieces. Finally, turn ON the battery pack to test all lights installed to the train station are working OK. 13.) We will now light up the Hogwarts express train. First, disconnect the middle and back carriages, then disconnect the following sections from the front of the train. 14.) Take the following top section and disassemble it. Take a White 15cm Bit Light and with the cable facing the clip, place it over the gold stud. Secure it in place by connecting a provided Trans Clear Round Plate 1×1 over the top. Thread the other side of the cable through the gap behind, then pull it all the way out from underneath. Reconnect the gold clip to the black piece, then reconnect this section to the front of the train. Ensure the cable is laid in between the light grey studs before reconnecting the round Hogwarts Express dish piece over the top. 15.) Take the bottom section and disassemble it as per below. Take a White 15cm Bit Light and place it over the left stud as per below. Secure it in place by connecting a provided LEGO Trans Clear Round Plate 1×1 over the top. Repeat this process to install another White 15cm Bit Light to the other side, securing it in place with another provided LEGO Trans Clear Round Plate 1×1. Ensuring both cables are laid in between studs, reconnect the sections we removed earlier, then reconnect this bottom section back to the train. 16.) Turn the train over onto it’s side and disconnect the two sections underneath. Take the three Bit Light Cables and thread them through the following gap in the middle of the back section we removed earlier, then connect them to a new 6-Port Expansion Board. 17.) Reconnect the two sections back underneath the train, ensuring all cables are laid in between studs. Take a Round Battery Pack and insert 2x CR2032 Batteries to it. Connect the battery pack to the 6-port expansion board and turn it ON to test the lights on the front of the train are working OK. Note: If you experience any issues with the lights not working and suspect an issue with a component, please try a different port on the expansion board to verify where the fault lies (with the light or expansion board). To correct any issues with expansion board ports, please view the section addressing expansion board issues on our online troubleshooting guide. 18.) Disconnect the round battery pack and take 2x 15cm Connecting Cables and connect them to the 6-port expansion board. Using the LEGO removal tool, disconnect the following black piece from the back of the train, then pull one of the 15cm cables all the way out towards the back. Secure the cable by reconnecting the black piece over the top ensuring the cable is laid in between studs. Twist and fold excess cabling from underneath the train, then tuck them in neatly to prevent them from dangling down. Bring the other 15cm connecting cable toward the back and pull it up the left side of the train as shown below: 19.) Turn the train over and disconnect the following sections from the back. Bring the other end of the 15cm cable from the left side and lay it in between studs before reconnecting the red 1×3 plate.

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.
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.
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.) We will first install lights to the cannons on the front of the star fighter. First disconnect the following pieces surrounding the front, then disconnect the two cannon sections. Continue to remove sections which make up the windows and roof cannons. 2.) Disassemble the two cannons as per below, then discard the two grey bars and replace them with the provided 2x Trans Bright Green Lightsaber bars that come in this kit. Take a Green 30cm Bit Light and thread the connector end of the cable through the top of the technic piece on one of the cannon bases as shown below: Thread the cable all the way through and before pulling the Bit Light inside the technic piece, slightly bend the LED so that it is facing up. 3.) Insert one of the Trans Bright Green Bars inside, then reconnect the other cannon pieces. Repeat steps 2 and 3 to install another Green 30cm Bit Light to the other cannon section, then reconnect both to the front of the starfighter. 4.) Disconnect the following tiles along the top of the starfighter, then disconnect all the angled bricks along the left side as shown below. Lift up the white top and bottom flap piece on the back of this cockpit section: Take the cable from the left cannon and thread it toward the end of the cockpit, in between the gaps underneath the pieces we removed earlier, then slip it in between the light grey round 2×2 plate and side of the ship. Pull the cable underneath and then secure it in place by closing the top and bottom flap pieces. 5.) Repeat previous step to secure the cable along the right side of the starfighter. 6.) Take the Multi Effects Board and connect both bit light cables from the cannons to the OUT ports (side with 2 ports). Take the AA Battery Pack and insert 3x AA Batteries to it. Connect the battery pack cable to the IN port (side with 1 port). Turn ON the battery pack to test the cannon lights are working OK, then adjust the settings on the Multi Effects Board for the “firing” effect. Set the switch to the middle setting and turn the speed wheel all the way to the left for the slowest speed. 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 and configure the lights and effects Your cannons should be firing away like the below example video:
