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.) We will first install the LED light bars inside the lightsaber blade. Disconnect the lightsaber from Yoda, then carefully detach the left side section as show below:

Disassemble the lightsaber, then disconnect half of the trans green round bricks to allow us to fully remove the white technic axle bar.

2.) Organise the lightsaber blade into two equally long sections, then take out an LED Light Bar 12cm. Thread the top of the bar through the bottom half of the blade (through the technic hole). Thread the bar all the way through, then pull it out from the top. Continue to thread the entire bar through the bottom of the top half of the blade as shown below. Bring the bottom half of the blade up and reconnect it to the top half.

Take the second LED Light Bar 12cm and thread the top of the bar all the way through the bottom of the blade until it meets the bottom of the first led light bar. The cable from the first light bar should be kept inside one of the four grooves from the Technic axle.

Note: The two LED Light Bars have been designed to allow you to cut them to size, in case you have a slightly shorter lightsaber blade due to display reasons (less trans bright green bricks in the blade). If you find the LED Bars are too long, simply cut them to size at the top end of the bar (not the cable end). Ensure that you cut the bar in between the LEDs and the cut is above the circuit board resister. It is completely safe to cut the board.

The bottom of the second LED Bar should end just before the base of the last trans bright green round brick.

3.) Group the ends of the two light bar cables together and thread them through the top of the three 2×2 round plates. Pull the cables all the way out from underneath the plates, then reconnect them to the bottom of the blade.

Ensure the two cables are laid together inside one of the axle hole grooves, then take the provided LEGO Bar 3L (any colour) and connect it to the axle hole. The provided LEGO bar will be used to hold the blade to the handle section. The cables should be secured neatly inside the axle groove as shown below:

Ensure the two cables are laid through the gap of the bottom of the light grey 2×2 round plate, then reconnect this entire section to the handle section via the provided LEGO bar. Ensure the cables are laid out the opposite side of the lightsaber button, then reconnect the upper part of the handle.

4.) Connect the two LED light bar cables to a 6-Port Expansion Board. Take a 5cm Connecting Cable and connect it to the end port on the expansion board, then connect the other end of the cable to one of the OUT ports on the Pulse Effects Board (PFX).

Take a 15cm Connecting Cable and connect it to the IN port on the Pulse Effects Board, then connect the other end of the cable to a new 6-Port Expansion Board.

Take a USB Power Cable and connect it to the end port on the 6-port Expansion Board from previous step, then connect the USB connection end to your USB Power Bank or wall adaptor (sold separately). Turn it ON to test the LED light bars in the blade are working OK. Take this time to configure your desired pulse effect by choosing from one of the three settings via the switch. Fast Pulse, Medium Pulse, Slow Pulse.

Bring the Yoda left side section we disconnected at the start, then disconnect the following light grey 2×12 plate from the inside of it.

6.) Reconnect the lightsaber to Yoda’s hand ensuring the cables are laid behind. Bring the two cables down the inside of the left section and lay them inside as shown below. Reconnect the 2×12 plate with the cables laid underneath.

Fold the two cables into a neat bunch as shown below, then tuck it inside the following space, along with the 6-port expansion board and pulse effects board.

Carefully reconnect the entire left side section ensuring the cables are neatly laid out underneath.

7.) Take the RGB Control Board and connect a 5cm Connecting Cable to the IN port (+5V). Connect the other end of the connecting cable to a spare port on the 6-port expansion board near Yoda’s feet. Ensure the IR sensor from the RGB control board is facing up.

Take the Yoda display stand and turn it around, then take the following provided Black LEGO pieces:

Black Plate 1×6
Black Plate 1×2 modified w Handle on End
Black Tile 1×1 w Clip

Connect the above pieces to the back of the Yoda display stand as shown below:

8.) Take an RGB Strip Light and connect an RGB Connecting Cable 15cm to one of the ports, then take another RGB Connecting Cable 15cm and connect it to the Strip Light’s other port. Using it’s adhesive backing, stick the Strip Light to the bottom of the black 1×6 plate we connected to the back of the display stand. Position the plate and strip light so that it is facing upward (to shine up onto Yoda)

9.) Take the below provided pieces and follow the images to assemble brackets for a right and left spotlight.

2x Black Plate 1×6
2x Black Plate 1×2 modified w Handle on End
2x Black Tile 1×1 w Clip
2x Black Dish Inverted 3×3

10.) Take other end of the RGB Connecting Cable 15cm from the right side of the display stand and connect it to a new RGB Strip Light. Using the strip light’s adhesive backing, stick it onto the back of the 1×6 plate from the right spot light. Position the spot light on the right side of Yoda and tilt it upward so that it will shine up onto the right side.

Take the other end of the RGB Connecting Cable 15cm from the left side of the display stand and connect it to the remaining RGB Strip Light. Take remaining RGB Connecting Cable 15cm and connect it to the strip light’s other port. Using the strip light’s adhesive backing, stick it onto the back of the 1×6 plate from the left spot light.

Locate the spare end of the RGB 15cm Cable from previous step and connect it to one of the OUT ports on the RGB control Board located near Yoda’s feet. Position the spot light on the left side of Yoda and tilt it upward so that it will shine up onto the left side.

11.) Disconnect the minifig Yoda as well as it’s lightsaber. Connect the Light My Bricks Lightsaber Green to Yoda, then tuck the cable in between Yoda’s legs. Reconnect it to the display stand.

Neatly position the display stand in front of Yoda (so that the strip light attached behind will shine up onto Yoda), then neaten up the RGB control board and expansion board behind. Ensure the IR sensor on the control board is accessible to enable a clear line of sight signal for the remote control.

12.) Connect up your power source and turn everything ON. By default, the RGB Strip Lights are deactivated and need to be turned on via the RGB Remote Control. You can choose from 13 different colours and 5 different effects.

This finally completes installation of the Light My Bricks Star Wars Yoda 75255 Light Kit.

The following page is the instructions for Part 2 of the Light My Bricks LEGO Star Wars UCS Imperial Star Destroyer (75252) LED light kit.

Click here for Part 1 of the instructions

If you run into any issues, please refer to the online troubleshooting guide.

To ensure a trouble-free installation of your light kit, please read and follow each step carefully. These instructions can be downloaded in PDF format here

Please note: This page lists instructions for the LED light kit only. If you are wishing to purchase the Light My Bricks LEGO Star Wars UCS Imperial Star Destroyer (75252) LED light kit , please click here to view the product page

OK, Let’s begin Part 2!

47.) We will now install lights to the back jets. First disconnect the three larger jet sections, then follow the images below to disassemble one of them.

48.) Take a Cool White 30cm Large Bit Light and with the LED facing up, place it in the centre of the bottom of the rigid 2×2 round brick. Secure the Bit Light in place by reconnecting the trans light blue dishes over the top. You should be able to clearly see the LED peaking through the centre of the dishes.

Flip this section over and fold the cable down against the outside of the rigid brick, then thread the connector end of the cable through the inside of the Jet pieces, pulling the cable all the way out from the other side.

Reconnect the round technic pieces back on top, ensuring the yellow technic pin is connecting to the rigid brick on the inside of the jet. Push down the yellow technic pin so that the dark grey brick is flat and can easily reconnect to the back of the ship later.

Thread the jet light cable through the space just underneath where the left jet reconnects to, then from the inside of the ship, pull the cable all the way out. Securely reconnect the Jet to the back of the ship.

Connect the Large Bit Light to a new 6-Port Expansion Board.

48.) Follow the previous step to install another Cool White 30cm Large Bit Light to the middle Jet section.

Thread the Bit Light cable through the gap on the top right of where the middle Jet reconnects to. Pull the cable all the way out from the inside of the ship, then securely reconnect the middle Jet to the back of the ship.

From the back of the ship, thread the cable through the following space that leads to the inside, then from the the inside (turn the ship around to the right side), pull the cable all the way out. Locate the same 6-Port Expansion Board we connected the other Jet light to and pull it over to this side, then connect the bit light cable to it.

49.) Install another Cool White 30cm Large Bit Light to the right large Jet (using the same method used in previous steps), then thread the cable through the following gap just underneath where the right jet reconnects to. Pull the cable all the way out from the inside of the ship, then securely reconnect the right Jet to the back of the ship.

Connect the Bit Light cable to the same 6-port Expansion board as per previous steps, then connect a new 5cm Connecting Cable to a spare port. Connect the other end of the 5cm cable to one of the OUT ports on the Pulse Effects Board (PFX)

Take another 5cm Connecting Cable and connect it to the IN port on the Pulse Effects Board, then connect the other end of the cable to a spare port on the 12-Port Expansion Board on the right side of the ship.

Turn ON the power to test the large jet lights are working OK. They should also be pulsing via the effects board. We can configure the desired effect later on when we connect up the other jet lights.

51.) Take one of the jet sections and disassemble it as shown below, then take a Cool White 30cm Bit Light and thread the connector end of the cable through the top of the the trans light blue round brick. Pull the cable all the way out from the other side, then carefully bend the LED so that it sits flat against the top of the brick. Secure the Bit Light in place by connecting a provided Trans Light Blue Round Plate 1×1 over the top.

Carefully reconnect the black bar inside the round brick, then thread the connector end of the cable along with the black bar through the top of the jet section.

The cable should be laid inside space between the bar and corner axis.

Thread the connector end of the cable along with the black bar through the top of the two rigid 2×2 bricks, then securely reconnect everything together.

Ensure the cable is laid in the space in between black bar and axis.

52.) Bring this jet section close to the back of the ship and thread the bit light cable through the following space that leads to the inside of the ship. Pull the cable all the way out from the inside of the ship, then securely reconnect the jet section to the back as shown below.

From the inside of the ship, find the bit light cable and connect it to a new 6-Port Expansion Board.

53.) Using the same method we used to install the first smaller jet light, install another Cool White 30cm Bit Light to another Jet.

Thread the cable through the space just above the bottom jet at the back of the ship before securely reconnecting the jet. From the inside of the ship, pull the bit light cable out and connect it to the same 6-port expansion board we connected the first smaller jet light to.

Thread the 6-Port Expansion Board through the middle space into the right side of the ship. This will make it easier to locate the expansion board when we need to connect the other two smaller jets on the right side.

54.) Install another 2x Cool White 30cm Bit Lights to the two remaining smaller jets, then thread the cables through the following spaces before securely reconnecting them to the back of the ship. Pull each bit light cable out from the inside of the right side of the ship, then connect both bit lights to the 6-port Expansion board from previous step.

55.) Take a 5cm Connecting Cable and connect one end to a spare port on the 6-port expansion board we connected the smaller jet lights to. Connect the other end of the cable to the second OUT port on the Pulse Effects Board.

We can now configure the pulse effects board to your desired effect. This effects board has 3 different effects, which can be set using the 3-way switch on the board. Fast Pulse, Medium Pulse, Slow Pulse. Turn ON the power to test all the jet lights are working and configure your desired effect.

57.) Take the following middle section we removed earlier and remove the first half of this section. Disconnect the light grey slope tile at the front, then take a Cool White 30cm Bit Light and with the cable facing down, place it over the front stud. Secure the light in place by connecting a provided Trans Clear Slope 30 1x1x2/3 over the top, then reconnect the two halves together.

Reconnect this section to the top of the ship, ensuring the bit light cable is laid underneath but is still accessible for us to connect it up later on.

58.) Turn the ship around again to the right side, then take the back right panel and disconnect the three laser cannon sections from it as shown below.

Take one of the laser cannons and disassemble as per below.

59.) This next process will be very similar to the process used to install the lights to the previous laser cannons. Take a Green 15cm Micro Bit Light and carefully bend the LED so that it is facing longways up. Thread the Bit Light inside the hole of one of the cannon pieces, then fold the cable down the side of the canon. Ensuring the cable is laid directly on the side of the stud, reconnect the 1×1 round plate over the top. The cable should be secured in between the plates.

Reconnect this section to the left cannon base, then reconnect it to the large plate ensuring the cable is laid underneath and in between the middle studs.

Install another Green 15cm Micro Bit Light to the right cannon, then reconnect it to the large plate ensuring the cable is laid underneath and in between studs.

Ensuring both micro bit light cables are laid in between studs, reconnect the angled plate behind the cannons, then reconnect the section to the right panel.

60.) Repeat the previous step to install lights to the two other cannon sections using 4x Green 15cm Micro Bit Lights. Reconnect each section to the right panel.

61.) Flip the entire right panel over, then connect the cables from the two outer cannons to a Micro 4-Port Expansion Board. Take the cables from the centre cannon and connect them to a different Micro 4-Port Expansion Board.

Take 2x 15cm Connecting Cables and each one to the two micro expansion boards’ large port.

Take 2x 30cm Connecting Cables and connect each one to the two micro expansion boards’ other large port.

Bring the entire panel up towards the ship and place the expansion boards and cables inside, then securely reconnect this panel using the technic ball joints. Reconnect the 2×4 tile and 2×2 rounded bottom plate to secure the front and back panels together.

62.) Bring the 4 connecting cables from the micro expansion boards inside the ship together and thread them underneath the middle section to the left side. Turn the ship over to the left side, then pull the four cables out.

Take the two 15cm connecting cables we pulled through from the other side and connect each one to a different OUT port (port 2 and 3) on the Gun Effects Board.

Turn the power ON to test all the cannons and blasters on the right side of the ship are working and firing in seperate sequences.

63.) We will now light up the cannons on the back left panel. First disconnect the three cannon sections, then repeat steps 58 to 59 to install 6x Green 15cm Micro Bit Lights to the three cannon sections

64.) Turn the panel around, then connect the bit light cables from the two outer cannons to a Micro 4-Port Expansion Board. Connect the bit light cables from the centre cannon to a new Micro 4-Port Expansion Board.

Bring the entire panel up and reconnect it to the top of the ship via the black technic ball joints, then secure the front and back panels by reconnecting the 2×4 tile and 2×2 rounded bottom stud.

Locate the other end of the two 30cm Connecting Cables we pulled through from the other side (step 62) and connect one to each of the micro expansion board’s large ports.

Turn ON the power to test all the cannon lights on each side are working OK and firing at different rates.

65.) Take a new 30cm Connecting Cable and connect it to the 12-Port Expansion Board on the left side of the ship toward the back. Bring the other end of the cable out toward the front, then secure it somewhere so that we can easily locate it later on.

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.) Start by disconnecting the following sections from the top of the ship.

Use your LEGO removal tool to disconnect the following pieces to allow us to remove the two panels that make up the entire left section of the ship.

Disconnect the Tantive via the trans clear clip

2.) We will now install seven lights along the side of the ship. Take a Cool White 30cm Bit Light and with the cable facing up, place it over the following stud near the front of the ship. Secure the Bit Light in place by connecting a provided Trans Clear Round Plate 1×1 over the top.

Bring the cable over towards the inside of the ship, then feed the cable underneath the following technic pieces.

3.) Take out another Cool White 30cm Bit Light and install it to the next stud down the side of the ship as shown below. Secure it in place with another provided Trans Clear Round Plate 1×1. Feed the cable underneath the technic pieces as we did for the previous bit light cable.

4.) Using the same method used in previous steps, install another 2x Cool White 30cm Bit Lights to the following studs along the side of the ship. Follow the images below to ensure you install the lights to the correct location. Secure them in place using 2x Trans Clear Round Plates 1×1. Once installed, lay the cables inside toward the first two Bit Light cables.

5.) Take a 12-Port Expansion Board and connect the four Bit Light Cables, then take a 50cm Connecting Cable connect it to another spare port on the 12-Port Expansion Board.

Bring the other end of the 50cm connecting cable toward the back of the ship and feed it underneath the large red technic plate sections going across the centre. Pull the cable out from the other side and connect it to a new 12-Port Expansion Board.

6.) We will now install another three lights to the side of the ship to the following positions.

First disconnect the following pieces, then install a Cool White 30cm Bit Light to the following stud, securing it in place using a provided Trans Clear Round Plate 1×1. Once installed, reconnect the pieces we removed earlier.

Connect the Bit Light to the second 12-Port Expansion Board towards the back of the ship.

7.) Install another 2x Cool White 30cm Bit Lights to the following positions, securing them in place using 2x Trans Clear Round Plates 1×1. Ensure you following the below images to correctly lay the cables underneath pieces, then connect both lights to the 12-Port Expansion Board in previous step.

Secure the last Bit Light cable underneath the following 2×4 tile. Disconnect it, lay the cable in between studs, then reconnect the tile over the top.

8.) Take a new 50cm Connecting Cable and connect it to a spare port on the first 12-Port Expansion Board toward the front of the ship. Thread the other end of the cable down the space behind the docking bay that leads down underneath the ship.

From underneath of the ship, pull the cable down and connect it to a 2-Port Expansion Board. Take your USB Power Cable and connect it to the other port. Connect the USB Connector side to a USB Power Bank or wall adaptor (sold separately) and turn it ON to test all the lights installed to the left side of the ship are working OK.

Take out a Green 15cm Micro Bit Light and carefully bend the LED component so that the side is facing the top. This will allow the LED to fit easily inside the canon hole.

Take one of the cannon pieces and carefully thread the Micro Bit Light’s LED all the way inside the hole.

Bend the cable down the outside of the cannon, then lay the cable directly over the the top of the stud as shown below. Reconnect this cannon to the inside of the 2×2 round tile. The cable should be secured underneath the stud.

10.) Using the same method used in previous step, install another Green 15cm Micro Bit Lights to another cannon piece, then secure the cable underneath the stud and reconnect it to the 2×2 round plate.

Ensure both cables are laid in between the spaces of the plate, then reconnect the 2×2 rounded bottom plate.

11.) Turn this section around then install another 2x Green 15cm Micro Bit Lights to the cannons on this side. Secure the cables underneath studs of the cannon pieces, then reconnect both of them as shown below.

Lay both cables in between the spaces towards the back of the round 2×2 plate, then reconnect the hinge ball section followed by the 2×2 rounded bottom plate.

12.) Tuck the four cables underneath the base of the cannon, then twist the four cables around each other all the way to the ends to form one larger cable.

Reconnect the cannon section back to to the side of the ship, then bring the cables inside the ship and connect them to a Micro 4-Port Expansion Board.

13.) Take a 15cm Connecting Cable and connect it to one of the larger ports on the Micro 4-Port Expansion Board. Connect the other end of the cable to the OUT port 1 on the Gun Effects Board.

Take another 15cm Connecting Cable and connect it to the IN port (+5V) on the Gun Effects Board. Connect the other end of this 15cm cable to a spare port on the 12-Port Expansion Board toward the back of the ship.

Turn your power ON to test the lights installed so far and to configure the Gun Effects Board. You can choose between 3 different shooting effects via the 3 way switch on the effects board. 1. Canon – 2 Fires – each channel firing at random rate 2. Machine Gun – Multiple fires simulating a machine gun – each channel firing at random rate 3. Laser Canon – 3 fires – each channel firing at random rate.

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, expansion board, or effects board). To correct any issues with expansion board ports, please view the section addressing expansion board issues on our online troubleshooting guide. 14.) Take a 30cm Connecting Cable and connect it to the other large port on the Micro 4-Port Expansion Board. Connect the other end of the cable to a large port on a new Micro 4-Port Expansion Board, then feed this micro expansion board underneath the technic pieces in the middle to bring it through to the other side.

Take a 15cm Connecting Cable and connect it to a spare port on the 12-Port Expansion Board on the back of the ship. Connect the other end of the cable to a new 12-Port Expansion Board, then feed the board underneath the technic pieces in the centre to bring it through to the other side.

15.) Carefully turn the ship around so we can install lights to the right side. First disconnect the 2×4 tile and 2×2 rounded bottom plate to allow us to disconnect the two top panel sections.

16.) We will now install seven lights to the right side of the ship. Use the same method used for the side lights on the left side to install the first 4x Cool White 30cm Bit Lights, securing them in place using the provided 4x Trans Clear Round Plates 1×1. Follow the below images carefully to modify certain sections and feed the cables underneath the middle to connect to the 12-port expansion board on the other side.

Turn ON the power to test the four lights installed to the right side 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, expansion board, or effects board). To correct any issues with expansion board ports, please view the section addressing expansion board issues on our online troubleshooting guide. 17.) Use the same method used in the previous step to install the remaining 3x Cool White 30cm Bit Lights to the right side, securing them in place using the provided 3x Trans Clear Round Plates 1×1. Follow the below images carefully to modify certain sections and connect the bit lights to the 12-port expansion board toward the back of the ship that we brought over from the left side (step 14).

Secure the last Bit Light cable underneath the following 2×4 tile, then turn ON the power to test all the lights installed to the right side are working OK.

Using the same method used to install the lights to the laser cannons on the left side of the ship, install 4x Green 15cm Micro Bit Lights to this laser cannon.

Tuck the four cables underneath the base of the cannon, then twist the four cables around each other all the way to the ends to form one larger cable.

19.) Reconnect the laser cannon section to the right side of the ship, then connect the Micro Bit Light cables to the spare Micro 4-Port Expansion Board that we brought over from the other side (Step 14.)

Turn the power ON to test the cannons on the right side of the ship are working OK. Because they are connected to the same channel as the cannons on the left side, they should be all firing together in sync.

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, expansion board, or effects board). To correct any issues with expansion board ports, please view the section addressing expansion board issues on our online troubleshooting guide. 20.) We will now light up the docking bay underneath the ship. First, we will need to disconnect the front bottom panel section on the right side. Disconnect the plate with handle from the very front of the ship, then disconnect the 2×2 rounded bottom plate securing the front and back panel together. Carefully disconnect the bottom panel via the technic rounded pins.

From the inside of the ship, locate and pull out the two orange technic pins that are securing the docking bay to the ship, then carefully remove the docking bay section by pulling it out from the bottom.

21.) Disconnect the Tie Fighter from the clip, then remove the grey mechanical piece and trans red round plate from it.

Take a Cool White 30cm Bit Light and bend the connector end of the cable into a hook as shown below. The hook will help us then thread the light through the Tie Fighter. Thread the connector side of the cable through the back of the Tie Fighter and out the bottom.

Before you completely pull the cable all the way out, carefully bend the Bit Light LED on a 90 degree angle so that it will face directly up and sit flat against the edge of the inside.

Reconnect the Trans Red round plate, then bring the cable up and secure it in between the right wing and centre brick as shown below:

Reconnect the mechanical clip piece, then reconnect the Tie Fighter to the docking bay. Caution – Do not forcefully push the mechanical clip piece all the way in or you may damage the Bit Light inside.

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 cockpit. Start by disconnecting the roof section on each side, then disconnect the following middle sections as shown below:

Disassemble the middle section as shown below, then take the red and trans dark clear pieces.

2.) Take 2x Cool White 30cm Bit Lights and with the cables facing the right side, place both of them over the studs of the red plate. Secure them in place by reconnecting the trans dark clear plates over the top. The 2 LEDs should fit nicely inside the studs of the trans dark clear plates.

Reconnect the following section on top, then flip it over and push the cables down into the corner before reconnecting it to the two white arch bricks. Lay the two cables down the middle in between studs before reconnecting the right section over the top of the cables.

Flip this section over and ensure both cables are tucked in between white bricks, then flip it back over and reconnect the middle section on top.
