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.

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!

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.) Seperate the two buildings, then remove the top two levels of the blue building as we will install lights to this side first. Disconnect the lamp post as well as the following piece behind the flower bed.

Using your LEGO removal tool, disconnect the following tiles and pieces.

Take out the Light My Bricks Lamp Post and connect it to the base plate (without the 2×2 plate underneath it). Lay the cable down towards the building ensuring it’s laid in between studs as shown below, then reconnect the brown 2×4 plate with flower connected, along with the light grey tiles and blue flower.

2.) Turn the set around, and disconnect the two side flowers. Take out a Pink 30cm Bit Light and with the LED facing up, place it in the following position in between the brown studs. Reconnect the purple flower piece.

Take a Blue 30cm Bit Light and with the LED facing up, place it in the following position in between the brown studs. With the cable laying down in between studs, reconnect the following white bricks over the top

Take the remaining Pink 30cm Bit Light and with the LED facing up, place it down in the following position in between the brown studs on the left. Reconnect the blue flower, then ensuring both cables from the Pink Bit Lights are laid in between studs, reconnect the dark grey bricks to secure them in place.

3.) Turn the set around to the front again and reconnect the following bricks and pieces.

Take out the 12-Port Expansion Board and connect the three Bit Lights and the Lamp Post cable to it. Remove the ladder from it’s storage position.

Take the USB Power Cable and thread the connector end of the cable through the technic brick hole on the outside of the building on the right side. Pull the cable in from the inside of the building, then connect it to the far right port on the expansion board. Connect the USB connection end to your USB Power Bank or wall adaptor (sold separately) and turn it ON to test the lamp post and garden lights are working OK.

4.) Neaten up the cables from the lights by grouping them together and twisting and folding them into a neat bunch. Reconnect the ladder.

Take out the 50cm Connecting Cable and connect it to a spare port on the expansion board, then thread it through the technic brick hole that leads to the outside of the building (left side). Pull the cable all the way out from the outside. This cable will be used to connect up to the left building (book shop).

If you are connecting both sides of the building together, thread the cable through the black technic pin, then reconnect the pin to the bottom of the building.

5.) We will now light up the first floor starting with the two door lamps. First disconnect the long tile from above the front door, then remove the front door section. Slightly lift up the wall sections above each door lamp to allow us to remove the lamp sections as per below:

Disassemble each door lamp as shown below, then take out a White 30cm Bit Light and with the cable facing the back of the lamp base, place it over the top of the stud. Secure the Bit Light in place by reconnecting the trans clear brick over the top. Repeat this step to install another White 30cm Bit Light to the other door lamp.

Reconnect the right lamp ensuring you first thread the cable behind and lay it down in between studs. Push down the wall section above, then do the same to reconnect the left lamp. Reconnect the front door section

6.) Turn this section around so we can access the inside of the front wall. Take the Bit Light cable from the right door lamp and pull it directly up. Lay the cable around the studs above, then secure it down by reconnecting the long white tile.

Turn this section around to the front and disconnect the following two tiles from the left side. Bring both the door lamp cables across and over the left wall, laying them in between the front two studs. Secure them down by reconnecting the two tiles.

Place this section onto it’s right side, then slightly disconnect the white 1×12 plate from underneath. Pull both cables down the left side of the building and then slip them underneath and in between studs. Secure them in place by reconnecting the white 1×12 plate.

Use tape to secure the two cables to the outside wall.

7.) We will now light up the fire place inside the first floor. Disconnect the following tiles, plates, and bricks surrounding the fire place, then disconnect the fire place section as shown below:

Disconnect the grey bricks from underneath the fire place, then disconnect the trans orange flame piece.

8.) Take a White 15cm Bit Light and seperate the two wires near the LED as shown below. With LED facing forward, place it over the black clip on the right side. Each separated wire should be laid over the left side of this clip. Secure the Bit Light in place by reconnecting the trans orange flame piece.

Ensure the cable is laid underneath and toward the back, then reconnect the grey bricks underneath. Reconnect the fireplace section to the room, then reconnect all the surrounding sections we removed earlier.

9.) Disconnect the following two tiles, then take out a Wireless Connector end with the flat tile. With the cable facing the outside of the building, connect it to the following position.

Reconnect the white tile with studs to the left of it. If you have a spare white 1×1 tile, you can connect it to the remaining stud, otherwise, simply leave it as is.

Place the first floor onto it’s left side, then disconnect the white 1×10 plate from underneath. Pull both cables down the outside of the wall and lay them underneath toward the inside. Ensuring the cables are laid in between studs, reconnect the 1×10 plate to secure them both into place.

Use tape to secure both cables down the outside of the wall.

10.) Take out the Flicker Effects Board (FFX) and connect the other end of the White 15cm Bit Light from fireplace to one of the OUT ports. Take a 5cm Connecting Cable and connect one end of it to the IN port on the effects board.

Bring the first floor section over the ground floor and connect the two Bit Lights from the two door lamps to the 12-Port Expansion Board underneath.

Connect the Wireless Connector and the other end of the 5cm Connecting Cable from the flicker effects board to the 12-port Expansion Board.

Ensuring all cables are tucked inside, securely reconnect the first floor above the ground floor. Turn ON the Power to test all the lights and effects to the first floor are working OK. The fireplace light should be flickering to give a realistic fire flickering effect.

11.) Take the top floor of this building and disconnect the following pieces from the roof to allow us to install lighting to the top windows.

Take a White 15cm Bit Light and ensuring the LED is facing down, place it down just in front of the top of the left window frame. Push down the cable into the corner behind, then reconnect the white window roof section. If you look from underneath, you should see the LED peaking out to shine down on the window.

Repeat this step to install another White 15cm Bit Light to the top of the right window frame

Connect both Bit Lights to a 6-Port Expansion Board.

12.) Place the top floor onto it’s back so we can access underneath of it. Disconnect the following white 1×4 plate on the right side.

Take out a Wireless Connector end with the plate side (studded) and fold the cable over and lay it in between the studs. With the cable facing the inside of the building, connect it underneath the top floor in the following position.

Take out a Warm White Strip Light and using it’s adhesive backing, stick it to the base of a provided LEGO Plate 1×6. Connect the Wireless connector plug to the right port on the Strip Light. Take a 30cm Connecting Cable and connect one end to the left port on the Strip Light.

Connect the Strip Light underneath the top floor in the below position. Ensure the 30cm cable is facing the right side as shown below.

Bring the 30cm Connecting Cable across to the left side and over the wireless connector cable. Disconnect the white 1×6 plate from the left side and pull the 30cm cable up the wall. Reconnect the 1×6 plate ensuring the cable is laid in between studs.

Tuck in any excess cable from the wireless connector to prevent it from dangling down.

13.) Turn the top floor back over and pull the 30cm Connecting Cable up the left side of the building. Connect it to a spare port on the 6-Port Expansion Board above.

Take a 5cm Connecting Cable and connect one end to the 6-port Expansion Board. Connect the other end of the cable to a new Warm White Strip Light.

Turn the top floor around so we are facing the front, then bring the Strip Light over the top and thread it down the following space that leads into the inside.

Take the top floor and securely place it over the rest of the building. Ensure that both wireless connector contacts are aligned and touching each other. Turn ON the power to test the lights to the top floor are working OK. The lights will deactivate when the top floor is removed. It will activate when the top floor is reconnected as long as the wireless connector contacts are aligned.

14.) Disconnect the top floor from the rest of the building, then from the back side of the floor, locate the Strip Light we threaded down the roof of the top level. Pull it down and using it’s adhesive backing, stick the Strip Light to the ceiling in the following position.

Disconnect the following pieces from the right and pull the 30cm Connecting Cable all the way up. Lay the cable toward the inside and in between studs before reconnecting the two dark grey 1×4 plates we removed earlier.

Disconnect the black 2×4 plate and lay the 30cm cable across and in between studs. Reconnect the black 2×4 plate, followed by the larger dark grey plate 2×16 plate.

15.) Turn the set around to the front and lay the window light cables down in between studs as shown below, before reconnecting sections over the top.

Tuck the expansion board inside the following space, then lay the remaining excess cables out in between studs. Ensure there are no dangling cables and no components can be seen from the inside the room.

Reconnect all the surrounding sections of the roof.

16.) Securely reconnect the top floor to the rest of the building ensuring both wireless connector contacts are correctly aligned and touching

Turn ON the power to test all the lights to this building are working OK.

17.) We will now move onto lighting the brown building (Book Shop). Remove all the upper floors and disconnect the tree.

Disconnect the following tiles on the top of the ground floor, then disconnect the entire upper wall section above the arches, followed by the lamp and brick section behind it.

18.) Disassemble the lamp as shown below, then take a White 30cm Bit Light and thread the connector end of the cable through the bottom of the trans yellow round brick (large hole) and out the smaller hole. Thread the cable all the way through, then carefully bend the LED so that it faces directly down before pushing it all the way inside the brick.

Thread the cable through the bottom of the black cage and out the back, then reconnect the trans yellow brick inside. Ensure the cable is not visible from the front of the lamp.

Reconnect it to the brick section behind, then lay the cable underneath this section and toward the left. Reconnect the lamp to the building ensuring the cable is brought up behind as shown below.

19.) Take the upper wall section we removed earlier and place it onto it’s back so we can access underneath of it. Take a Green 30cm Bit Light and stick the back of the LED to a provided Adhesive Square. Stick the Bit Light underneath the right arch ensuring the cable is facing the left. Tuck the cable in between the white and brown brick as shown below.

Repeat this step to install another Green 30cm Bit Light, sticking it underneath the left arch using another provided Adhesive Square.

Reconnect this wall section to the front of the building. Ensure the cable from the right arch is laid in between the white brick and front wall as shown below.

Reconnect the 1×2 bricks on each side. If you look closely at the front of the green windows, you should see the Green Bit Light installed to shine down onto the trans green bricks.

20.) Disconnect the stair case floor section from the back of the room, then locate the end of the 50cm Connecting Cable from the blue building and thread it through outside of the orange building (technic brick hole). Pull the cable in from the inside of the building underneath the stairs, then thread it up behind the stairs in the corner of the room. Bring the cable over the stairs and connect it to a new 6-Port Expansion Board.

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!

Lighting up the Truck

1.) The first thing we will do is light up the truck. First take this vehicle and remove the following pieces from the front, then disassemble as per below:

2.) Take a White 15cm Bit Light and thread the connector side of the cable through the front of the light grey technic pin. Thread it all the way through, then carefully bend the Bit Light on a 90 degree angle so that it is sitting flat against the edge of the pin. Take a provided Trans Clear Round Plate 1×1 and connect it over the top.

Repeat this step to install another White 15cm Bit Light to the other technic pin, securing it in place using another provided Trans Clear Round Plate 1×1.

3.) Remove the following sections from the front of the truck,then thread one of the Bit Light cables through the front of the below piece allowing you to reconnect the left headlight.

Disconnect the wheel, then reconnect the left headlight section ensuring the cable is passed through over the wheel axis, before reconnecting the wheel over the top.

4.) Repeat previous step to reconnect the right headlight to the truck then reconnect the remaining sections we removed earlier.

5.) Turn the truck around and disconnect the back section as well as rear right wheel, then thread the cable from the right headlight up the space in front of the rear right wheel (which leads to the back of the truck). Ensure the cable is pulled up inside the black side rail as per below images.

Repeat this process to thread the cable from the left headlight up the space in front of the left rear wheel.

6.) Take out the Micro Battery Pack and pull out and discard the clear tag to activate the batteries. Connect the two cables to the bottom ports (ensuring the battery switch side is facing up), then turn the battery pack ON to verify the headlights are working OK.

Important Note: Micro Battery Packs are no longer available as of June 2022 due to child safety regulations. Please use the 50cm Connecting Cable in place of the Battery Pack. The Connecting Cable will then tether to the 12-Port Expansion Board in the Corner Garage later on.

7.) Disconnect the two trans red tiles from the back panel, then take a White 15cm Bit Light and with the cable facing toward the centre, place it over the right stud as shown below. Secure the Bit Light in place by connecting a provided Trans Red Round Plate 1×1 over the top.

Repeat this process to install another White 15cm Bit Light to the left side, securing it in place using another provided Trans Red Round Plate 1×1. Reconnect this panel back to the truck ensuring both cables are laid in between studs underneath.

8.) Remove the rear left wheel then thread the left tail light cable up the space in front of the left wheel axis and pull it up from the top on the inside of the black bars (same way we did for the headlight cables).

Reconnect the wheel, then connect the cable to the next port along the micro battery pack.

Repeat this process to thread the right tail light cable up to the top and connect it to the next port on the Micro Battery Pack.

9.) Neaten up excess cables by grouping them all together and twisting/folding them around each other a few times. Tuck the bunched up cables underneath the battery pack then lower the hook section so that it secures the battery pack in place.

This completes installation of the lights for the Corner Garage Truck. Turn ON the battery pack to test the tail lights are working OK.

Lighting up the Corner Garage

1.) The Corner Garage lights are installed from the bottom up. First remove the second and third floors, then disconnect the gas station roof, gas pump, followed by the lamp post.

2.) Use your LEGO removal tool to disconnect the following tiles as well as the trolley from the building leading to the gas pump.

Remove the upper section of the gas pump then take out a Blue 30cm Bit Light and with the cable facing the back of the pump, place it in the centre, in between the white studs. Reconnect the upper section of the gas pump on top, ensuring the Bit Light is neatly secured in the middle.

Turn the Gas Pump around to the back and secure the bit light cable underneath the following light grey tile.

3.) Reconnect the following tile before reconnecting the Gas Pump section over the top, back onto the base plate.

Bring the front corner of the base plate over the edge of your table and bend it down slightly so that the dark green wall comes apart at the following section:

Feed the wire from the Blue Bit Light through the following space, then pull it all the way out from the inside of the wall.

4.) Neatly lay the cable in between the following studs, then reconnect the following tiles and pieces we disconnected earlier, starting with the grey tile with stud on top.

5.) Take a 12-Port Expansion Board and connect the Blue Bit Light to the first port on the left. Take your USB Power Cable and connect it to the far right port. Connect the other side to your USB Power Bank or USB to AA Battery Pack (each sold separately) and turn it on to test the blue light is working OK.

6.) Disconnect the following pieces in front of the garage door, then take out the provided LEGO Lamp Post with Bit Light installed.

Bring this side of the base plate over the edge of the table and slightly bend it down to create a gap underneath the right side of the garage door.

7.) Thread the Lamp Post cable through this gap and then pull it out from the inside of the garage before connecting the lamp post to the base plate.

Ensure the cable is neatly laid in between the following studs and is pulled all the way out from the inside of the garage before closing up the gap in between base plate and wall.

Connect the lamp post cable to the next port on the left of the 12-port Expansion Board, then turn on your USB Power Bank to test the lamp post light is working OK. Reconnect the tiles and pieces we disconnected earlier (discard the black 2×2 plate).

Pull the cable all the way up eliminating excess cable between the lamp post and building and then reconnect the bottom right corner of the building to the base plate. Ensuring the lamp post cable is laid in between studs, reconnect the tiles we removed earlier

3.) We will now install flashing lights to the jukebox. First disconnect the jukebox and then disassemble pieces as per below:

4.) Take a Flashing White 30cm Bit Light and then place it (with cable facing toward the back) directly over the top of the stud toward the front of the jukebox. Reconnect one the angled trans clear tiles over the top securing the Bit Light in place.

Repeat this step to install another Flashing White 30cm Bit Light to the right side then reconnect surrounding pieces of the jukebox.

5.) Reconnect the jukebox to the inside of the diner and then remove the following sections which make up the bench in the corner, side tables and extra seats.

Lay the two cables from the jukebox down and around the bottom corners of the diner. Secure them in place by first reconnecting the bottom of the corner seat, followed by the table, then the remaining chairs.

6.) Take the 8-Port Expansion Board and then connect the two cables from the jukebox as well as the lamp post cable to the inside ports.

Pull the three cables up the corner of the diner and then use tape to secure them down.

Using 2x Adhesive Squares, mount the expansion board to the inside of the diner in the following position.

3.) To prevent cables from dangling down you can secure them underneath the top tiles by laying them in between studs.

4.) Take the USB Power Cable and then place it behind the Downtown Diner as per below. Bring the cable over the wall and then connect it to a spare port on the 8-port Expansion Board.

Secure the USB Power cable by laying it underneath the tile on the top.

5.) Take the other end of the 50cm Connecting Cable from the Car and then connect it to a spare port on the expansion board. Secure the cable in place by laying it underneath one of the tiles on the top of by building.

Turn ON the power and ensure the lights we have installed so far are working OK.

6.) We will now slightly modify the ‘Diner’ sign on top of the first floor so that it sits slightly back from original position. We need to create this little gap in order for us to install strip lights to shine on the sign. To start, first disconnect both sections of the sign.

Separate the letters ‘n’, ‘e’, and ‘r’ and then disconnect the light grey 1×1 plate from the section in between ‘e’ and ‘r’. Hold onto this 1×1 plate as we will bring this over and use this to connect to the section in between ‘D’ and ‘I’.

Disconnect the 2 sections in between letters ‘D’ and ‘I’ and then remove and discard the light grey 1×2 plate from the bottom of letter ‘D’. Take the light grey 1×1 plate we disconnected earlier and then connect it to the pink stud at the lower front of the ‘D’.

There were two sections that were in between ‘D’ and ‘I’. Discard the front section and then replace it with just the back section to connect ‘D’ and ‘I’ together.

Take the ‘R’ and then reconnect the section in between ‘R’ and ‘E’ to the bottom left of ‘R’(section we removed the 1×1 plate from).

Take the ‘E’ and then disconnect and discard the section connected to the bottom right then reconnect ‘E’ to the new section next to the ‘R’

Take the ’n’ and then remove the light grey 1×1 plate from the bottom right. Reconnect the ’n’ to the ‘E’.

Place the two sections of the ‘Diner’ sign together and it should now look like below:

You should also have the same excluded pieces shown underneath. Set this ‘Diner’ sign aside for now and proceed to the next step.

7.) Take 5x White Strip Lights and 5x 5cm Connecting Cables and connect all the strip lights together leaving one side of a 5cm connecting cable disconnected.

8.) First disconnect the following tile on the front right section of the Diner and then lift up the top section to create a gap underneath as per below:

9.) Insert the end of the 5cm connecting cable through this space and then pull the cable up from the inside of the Diner. Connect this cable to the 8-port expansion board inside.

10.) Pull the first Strip Light all the way out from the front of the Diner and then using it’s adhesive backing, stick it underneath the top section on the eave right above the front door.

Reconnect the top section and tile we removed in step 8.

11.) Using the adhesive backings, stick the next two strip lights in the following positions along the eaves of the roof .

12.) We will now need to thread the remaining two strip lights up the left corner of the roof. First disconnect the top white section followed by the round corner section as per below:

13.) Thread the two strip lights up through the space in the corner and then pull them all the way up from above.

Carefully reconnect the round corner section ensuring the cable is laid on the right side as per below:

Reconnect the top white section.

14.) Turn the building around and then using the adhesive backings, stick the two strip lights to the following positions. These will be used to shine on the newly positioned ‘Diner’ sign.

15.) Reconnect the two sections of the Diner sign and then turn the power ON to test and confirm the lights we have installed so far are working OK.

16.) We will now install a light to the lamp post on the left corner of the second floor. First disconnect the rails on each side, followed by the lamp post.

Disconnect the trans clear minifigure head as well as the dish above.

17.) Take a White 30cm Bit Light and then thread the connector side through the bottom of the dish piece.

Place the other end of the Bit Light inside the bottom of the trans clear minifigure head and then from the top of the dish, pull the cable all the way up and then reconnect the two together. This should secure the bit light in place and look similar to below:

18.) Reconnect the dish to the lamp post and then reconnect the lamp post and rails back to the second floor.

We will leave this section for now as we will connect the lamp post cable to the top floor later.

19.) Take the entire second floor and the place it on it’s side as per below:

Take 2x White Strip Lights and then stick them to 2x provided LEGO Plates 1×6.

Take a 15cm Connecting Cable and connect the two strip lights together. Take another 15cm Connecting Cable and connect it to other end of one of the strip lights and then connect a 30cm Connecting Cable to the end of the other strip light.

20.) Mount the two Strip Lights underneath the second floor in the following positions. Ensure the strip light with the 30cm connecting cable is positioned on top and the strip light with 15cm connecting cable is positioned below. Also ensure the cables are facing the exact way as below.

Secure the 30cm Connecting cable by laying it underneath the 2×3 plate.

Secure the 15cm Connecting Cable that connects the two strip lights underneath the 2×6 plate. Securing these connecting cables will also prevent them from dangling down and being seen from the outside looking in.

21.) Thread the other end of the 30cm connecting cable through the space in between the base and first step of the staircase.

Pull the cable all the way up from above the second floor and then lay it across toward the inside of the building. Secure it in place by laying it under the 1×2 tile on the top of the second floor.

22.) Take the entire second floor above the first floor and then connect the other end of the 15cm connecting cable from the strip light underneath to a spare port on the expansion board below.

Securely connect the second floor in place and then turn the power ON to test all the lights we have installed so far are working OK.

23.) Take the entire third floor and then place it on it’s back so we can access underneath.

Take another 2x White Strip Lights and then stick them to another 2x LEGO Plates 1×6.

Connect the two strip lights together using a 15cm Connecting Cable and then connect another 30cm Connecting Cable to the end of one of the strip lights.

Mount the two strip lights underneath the 3rd floor in the below position ensuring the strip light with the 30cm connecting cable is positioned on the left.

Secure the 15cm connecting cable which conencts the two strip lights together underneath the 2×14 plate:

Take the 30cm Connecting cable and then secure it underneath the 2×6 plate at the bottom as per below:

24.) Turn the third floor over to the top side and then pull the other end of the 30cm connecting cable up from the back of the third floor. Thread the cable through the space in between the rail and then up the ladder. Secure the cable in place by laying underneath the 1×4 tile on the top of the floor.

25.) Take the entire third floor above the second floor and then locate the other end of the 30cm connecting cable from underneath (second floor). Connect this cable to the spare port on the right strip light underneath the third floor.

Securely connect the third floor to the second floor and then turn the power ON to confirm all the lights are working OK.

26.) Turn the building around to the back and then locate the Bit Light cable from the lamp post on the second floor.

Pull the cable across toward the building and then thread it through the top of the stair case.

Pull the cable up the the side of the building and then thread it through the top of the ladder. Pull the cable over the wall and then secure it underneath the 1×4 tile on the top of the third floor.

27.) We will now install a strip light to shine down to the top of the arc of the face of the building. Remove the two pieces which make up the arc.

Take a White Strip Light and then connect a 15cm Connecting cable to the left port.
