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.

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 lifting up the hood and disconnecting the following sections surrounding the front of the vehicle:     2.) Take the bottom left headlight section and disconnect the trans clear round plate. Take a White 15cm Bit Light and thread the connector end of the cable through the right hole and out the bottom of the yellow brick. Thread the cable all the way through, then carefully bend the Bit Light so that it sits flat against the front hole. Secure the light in place by reconnecting the trans clear round plate over the top.   Reconnect this section back to the front left side of the car ensuring the cable is slipped inside and behind as shown below.     3.) Repeat the previous step to install another White 15cm Bit Light to the bottom right headlight, then reconnect this section to the front right side of the car.     4.) Place the car on it’s back, then disconnect the front right wheel. Take the Bit Light cable on this side and thread it through the following hole in the dark grey technic brick. Pull the cable out all the way out from the other side of the brick.   Repeat this step for the left side, then connect both Bit Light cables to the middle ports on the 8-Port Expansion Board.   Disconnect the following angled yellow tile.     5.) Take the Flat Battery Pack and insert 2x new CR2032 Batteries to it. Thread the battery pack cable through the following space behind the front passenger seat that leads underneath the vehicle. Pull the cable all the way out, then connect the cable to the far left port on the 8-Port Expansion board. Place the Battery Pack behind the front seats. Important Note: 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.   Turn the battery pack ON to test the front headlights 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 two sections we disconnected earlier and disassemble them, then reconnect the bottom yellow plate to each side of the vehicle.   Reconnect the front panel section     7.) Disassemble the two headlight sections as shown below, then take a White 15cm Bit Light and place it in the following position over one of the light grey plates. Secure the Bit Light in place by reconnecting the trans clear dish over the top. Fold the cable down underneath ensuring it is laid in between the gap, then reinsert the black bar.   The Bit Light should be positioned underneath the centre of the headlight and the cable should be facing the bottom as per below image.   Repeat this step to install another White 15cm Bit Light to the other headlight section     8.) Take the right headlight section and thread the cable behind before reconnecting it to the vehicle. Ensure the cable is laid in between studs on the left of it, then push in the exterior panel. Reconnect the two pieces as shown below.   Repeat this step for the left headlight on the other side.     9.) Reconnect the following remaining pieces to the front of the car.     10.) Thread the cables from both headlights through the same holes we threaded the bottom headlight cables through (behind the front wheels). Connect both cables to the next available ports on the 8-Port Expansion Board.   Reconnect both wheels, then turn ON the Battery Pack to test the headlights 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.     11.) Take a 15cm Connecting Cable and connect it to the right port on the 8-Port Expansion Board.  Bring the cable toward the right side and thread it through the following space underneath the vehicle which leads to the area behind the driver seat. Pull the cable all the way out, then connect it to the IN port on the NC Push Board.      12.) Remove the roof of the car by disconnecting the front of it via the clips, then disconnecting the back of it as shown below. Remove the driver seat as well as the following pieces underneath.   Take the remaining White 15cm Bit Light and connect the cable to the OUT port on the NC Push Board. Remove the protective backing on the NC Push Board, then using the adhesive underneath, stick the board to the floor of the vehicle near the edge of the door opening as shown below. Ensure the push trigger is facing out.     13.) Lay the two cables down in between studs toward the back seat, then reconnect the black 1×4 L plate down over the top. Disconnect the two black 1×2 tiles with clips from the bottom of the driver seat, then reconnect these to the floor as shown below.   Pull the Bit Light end of the cable up and slip it in between the black angled brick and the trans clear window piece. Fold the Bit Light over and lay it in between studs, ensuring the LED is facing down, then reconnect the back sides of the roof section. The Bit Light should be slightly sticking out about 1-2 CM to shine down on the front seat.   Reconnect the roof at the front clips, then reconnect the driver seat. Turn the battery pack ON to test the internal Bit Light is working OK and the NC push Board works when pushing the trigger. The internal light should deactivate when the door is closed (NC Trigger is pushed in) and reactivate when the door is open (NC Trigger is released).   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.) Place the vehicle onto it’s back so we can access underneath. Take out the remaining 15cm Connecting Cable and connect it to a spare port on the 8-Port Expansion Board.

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!

  1.) We will start by installing lights to the left section of the stadium. First disconnect all the main sections, then take the left section and disconnect the roof via the railing clips towards the inside.     2.) Disconnect the top section of seats, then take out the USB Power Cable and thread the connector end of the cable through the left space. Pull the cable in through the inside where the seats were connect to and connect it to a White Strip Light.   Take a 15cm Connecting Cable and connect it to the strip light’s right port, then using it’s adhesive backing, stick the Strip Light underneath the top seat section in the following position. Ensure the 15cm cable is on the left side, with the clips on the bottom as shown below.   Reconnect this section to the stadium ensuring the 15cm connecting cable is laid out the left side.     3.) Connect the other end of the 15cm cable to a new White Strip Light. Take a 30cm Connecting Cable and connect it to the strip light’s right port.   Take the roof section and turn it over so we can access underneath. Using the adhesive backing, stick the Strip Light underneath the roof towards the front as shown below.   Secure the 15cm cable underneath the white tile on the left side, then reconnect the roof to the stadium.     4.) Bring the 30cm cable across to the right side, then secure it underneath the following plate of curved bricks. Loop the cable around the following stud underneath, then reconnect the plate of curved bricks.   Reconnect the railings on the top of the roof, then secure the USB Cable underneath the following tile on the outside.   Connect the USB cable to your USB Power Bank or wall adaptor (sold separately) to test the strip lights installed to this section are working OK.     5.) Bring the 30cm Connecting Cable towards the back and secure it underneath the curved brick on the very end. Reconnect this section to the field plate section.     6.) Take the middle section and turn it around to the outside. Disconnect the two white pillar sections from each side by disconnecting them via the technic pins.     7.) Turn this section around to the inside, then slightly lift up the entire roof to allow us to disconnect the following sections from the middle section of seats.     8.)

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.   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.) 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.   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.     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.

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 lights to the Disney Train

  1.) Disconnect the train carriages, then take the first carriage and disconnect sections from the top and front of the vehicle.   Place the train onto it’s right side and disconnect the front wheel section, then disconnect the gold round plate from each side.     2.) Take one of the gold plates and thread the connector end of a White 15cm Bit Light through the front of it. Thread it all the way through, then carefully bend the Bit Light so that it sits flat against the edge of the plate. Secure the LED in place by connecting a provided LEGO Trans Clear Round Plate 1×1 over the top.   Repeat this step to install another White 15cm Bit Light to the other gold plate, securing it in place with another provided Trans Clear Round Plate 1×1.     3.) Reconnect each plate to the front wheel section, ensuring the cables are facing toward the inside, then cross both cables over each other and secure them underneath the following dark grey arched plate. Ensure the cables are neatly laid in between studs underneath.     4.) Take the top front section of the train and disconnect the following two plates. Take a Warm White 30cm Large Bit Light and with the cable facing down, place it in the following position on the front section. Secure the Bit Light in place by reconnecting the trans yellow 2×2 plate. Bring the cable down underneath, then reconnect the red 1×2 tile.   Reconnect this section to the front of the train, then push down the large bit light cable and lay it down in between studs. Reconnect the two outer sections as shown below.     5.) Place the train onto it’s right side, then bend the large bit light cable into a hook shape. Thread the cable over the following technic axle, then pull it all the way out from the other side. Connect the cable to a 6-Port Expansion Board.   Reconnect the front wheel section to the train, then connect the two bit light cables from the front to the 6-Port Expansion Board.     6.) Take the second carriage and disconnect the motor cable from the LEGO powered up battery box. Remove the battery box from the carriage, then take out the Light My Bricks Powered Up Cable and connect it to the battery box. Connect the other end of the cable to the 6-Port Expansion Board. Turn ON the battery box and ensure that it is paired to your remote control or smartphone app. Press the “+” button on the controller (on the A side) or “+” on the Smartphone App to test the lights are turning ON and working OK.   Important Note: If using the smartphone App to control the lights and motor, the lights will only turn on when the train is in “accelerate or reverse mode )+ or -)”. The lights will automatically turn off when the motor is turned off or when “STOP” on the controller/app is pressed.    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.     7.) From the back of the train, lift up the roof, then take a White 15cm Bit Light, and with the cable facing down, place it in the following position underneath the roof. Secure the Bit Light in place by connecting a provided Trans Clear Plate w Rounded Bottom 2×2 over the top.   Thread the Bit Light cable down and out the side of the train. Turn the train over onto it’s right side and pull the cable all the way out from the bottom. Bend the cable into a hook shape and thread it down the space of the black brick with handle. Pull the cable all the way out from underneath as shown below.   Thread the cable through the following technic brick hole and pull it all the way out from the middle. Connect the Bit Light cable to the 6-Port Expansion Board.     8.) Turn the train back over, then disconnect the large black dish from the inside. Lay the cable down in between studs, then reconnect the large dish over the top. Close the roof, then use your controller or remote app to accelerate to test the internal light is working OK.     9.) Eliminate excess cable from the large bit light by twisting and folding it into a neat bunch. Tuck the bunched up cables inside the space underneath the train.   Take a 30cm Connecting Cable and connect it to the 6-Port Expansion Board, then disconnect the following grey 2×4 plate at the back of the carriage. Lay both connecting cable and powered up cable in the middle facing the back, then reconnect the grey 2×4 plate over the top. Ensure both cables are laid in between studs underneath.   Stick 2x Adhesive Squares to the back of the 6-Port Expansion Board, then mount the board underneath the train, inside in the following position. Tuck all the cables into the space underneath the train.     10.) Return the train to it’s upright position, then reconnect the Battery Box to the second carriage. Option 1 – If you’re using the hand controller to control the train motor, pull out the train motor cable and connect it to the socket B. This will allow you to turn the lights on if the train is stationary. Option 2- If you’re using the smartphone app to control the train motor, pull out the train motor cable and connect it to the spare socket on the Light My Bricks Compatible Powered Up Cable. If you connect the motor cable to socket B on the battery box, it will cause potential issues with being able to run the motor.   Option 1   Option 2     Bring the 30cm Connecting Cable over behind the second carriage, then tuck in the motor cable and as much of the powered up cable as possible, inside the second carriage. Neatly place the socket of the powered up cable on the front of the second carriage as shown below.     11.) We will now install some multicoloured flashing lights to the third carriage. First seperate this carriage and turn it onto it’s right side so we can access underneath. Take out a new 6-Port Expansion Board and connect a 50cm Connecting Cable to it’s far right port. Place the expansion board underneath the front wheel section.   Using 2x Adhesive Squares, mount the expansion board underneath the carriage toward the front as shown below     12.) Disconnect the rear wheel section, then disconnect the red plate on top and lay the 50cm cable down in between studs. Secure the cable by reconnecting the red plate over the top.   Reconnect the rear wheel section underneath the carriage and test to ensure there is enough cable slack for the front and rear wheels to turn.   Secure the cable underneath the carriage using a provided LEGO Plate 1×2. Test each wheel section by turning it left and right to ensure there is enough cable slack. If there isn’t enough, then disconnect the rear wheel section and re-lay the cable underneath the red plate.     13.) Take out the Multi Colour Light String and connect it to the 6-Port Expansion Board. Flip the carriage back over and turn it to the front. Disconnect the red 2×4 tile and lay the Multi Colour Light String Cable up in between studs, then reconnect the 2×4 tile.   Bend the tip of the light string into a hook and thread it through the side of the carriage as shown below. Pull the light string all the way out from the centre, then pull it up the top left corner.     14.) Turn the carriage around so we are facing the left side. Lift up the left roof section and disconnect the blue arched plates from the left side. Bring the cable up and lay it over the top of the window toward the middle of the carriage. Ensuring the cable is laid in between studs, reconnect the blue arched plates.   Remove the middle roof section and lift up the right roof panel. Bring the Light string across the middle section and disconnect the 1×2 plate with ridge on the left. Lay the rubber part of the light string toward the back of the left roof, then ensure the light string is laid in between studs underneath where we disconnected the 1×2 plate. Reconnect the plate over the top of the light string.     15.) Lay the light string around the studs on top of the middle section. Ensure that the two light string LEDs are positioned as shown below, then secure the light string underneath the 1×2 plate with ridge on the right.   Disconnect the white arched plates on the far right side, then bring the light string over to the back of the carriage and disconnect the red 1×2 plate with ridge on the right side. Position the light string as shown below ensuring there are 3 LEDs positioned in this back section, then loop the light string around the bottom red stud. Secure the light string in place by reconnecting the red 1×2 plate with ridge over the top, then reconnect the white arched plates.     16.) Bring the light string back toward the front of the carriage, then disconnect the white 1×1 plate from the top of the post. Wind the light string around the top of the pole as shown below. Ensuring the light string is looped around the top side of the stud, secure it down by reconnecting the white 1×1 plate followed by the middle roof section.     Ensure the top of the light string is positioned as shown below and slightly bent up so that it isn’t seen from the sides of the carriages. Close down the front roof panel     17.) Bring the carriage close to the second carriage, then turn it onto it’s right side so we can access underneath. Locate the other end of the 30cm Connecting Cable brought over from the front of the train and connect it to the 6-port Expansion Board underneath.     Turn the carriage back upright then turn the entire train around to the right side and secure the 30cm cable underneath the Disney Railroad sign.   Use your controller or remote app to press ‘accelerate’ to test the multi coloured lights are working OK.     18.) We will now light up the last carriage. Remove this section from the back, then disconnect the entire roof section as shown below.   Remove the following bricks and tiles from the top and sides, then disconnect the two lamps.     19.) Disconnect the gold round plate from the bottom of each lamp, then take a White 15cm Bit Light and thread the connector side of the cable through the top of one of the gold plates. Thread the cable all the way through, then carefully bend the LED so that it sits flat against the top of the gold plate. Secure the Bit Light in place by reconnecting the top section of the lamp over the top ensuring the cable is facing the back.     Bring the bit light cable up and then thread it down the hole of the gold handle. Pull the cable all the way out from the bottom   Reconnect the lamp to the left side of the carriage ensuring the cable is facing the inside, then bring the cable up and reconnect the angled brick we removed earlier over the top.     20.) Repeat previous step to install another White 15cm Bit Light to the other lamp, then reconnect it to the other side of the carriage. Secure it down by reconnecting the other red angled brick.   Reconnect the green tile to each side of the carriage.     21.) Bring the carriage over and connect it to the third carriage, then disconnect the red 2×6 plate from the front of the last carriage. Take the 50cm cable from the front over and lay it over toward the inside of the last carriage. Ensuring the cable is laid in between studs, reconnect the red 2×6 plate.   Push the cable down into the bottom corner of the last carriage as shown below.     22.) Bring the cable toward the back of the carriage, and secure it down underneath the following brown angled tiles on the top. Ensure you carefully lay the cable around the studs as shown below.   Connect the 50cm cable to a new 6-Port Expansion Board, along with the other two bit light cables from the lamps. Use your controller or remote app to press ‘accelerate’ to test the internal 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).

OK, Let’s Begin!

 

Installing lights to the Disney Train Station

1.) We will first install lights to the train station starting with all the lamps at the front. First disconnect the station sign, then using your LEGO Removal Tool, create a gap just above the grey plates with front studs.     Disconnect the lamps on either side of the front door, then disassemble them as per below.     2.) Take a White 15cm Bit Light and with the cable facing the handle, place it directly over the black stud. Secure the Bit Light in place by reconnecting the trans clear minifig head over the top. Thread the cable down the space of the handle and pull it all the way out from underneath.   Repeat this step to install another White 15cm Bit Light to the other lamp.     3.) Reconnect both lamps to the front of the station, then thread thread both of the lamp cables through the gap we created earlier. Turn the set around to the back and pull the Bit Light cables all the way out. Ensure the cables are laid in between studs of the bottom of the gap as shown in the last image example.   Connect both of the Bit Light cables to a 12-Port Expansion Board. Take a USB Power Cable and connect it to the left port on the expansion board. Connect the USB Connector side to a USB Power Bank or wall adaptor (sold separately) and turn it ON to test the front 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.     4.) Disconnect the lamp on the right side of the station via the black technic pin. Turn the set around and disconnect the top floor of the left side by pushing your finger up underneath the tan plate.   Turn the set back around to the front and using your LEGO Removal Tool, create a gap in between the light grey plates just above where we disconnected the lamp.   Take a White 30cm Bit Light and carefully bend the LED up as shown below. With the cable facing the back, hook the LED inside the lamp. Bring the the technic pin slightly out, then bring the Bit Light cable up and wind it around the lamp post. Push the technic pin back in toward the front and pull the cable inside the technic pin slot. Turn the technic pin to the left or right to secure the cable in place.     5.) Thread the Bit Light cable through the gap we created, then reconnect the lamp to the front.

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!

  1.) We will first install lights to the Ice rink. Disconnect the following sections surrounding the snow pile on the right side as shown below:   Take a Blue 30cm Bit Light and bend the LED up at approximately 1cm from the end. With the LED facing the Ice rink, place the cable in between the white studs, then secure it in place by reconnecting the white angled brick as shown below:     2.) Reconnect the surrounding pieces, then turn this section around to the side and bring the cable towards the back. Disconnect the light post section and lay the cable in between studs underneath it. Reconnect the light post to secure the cable in place.   Turn the set around to the back and connect the Blue Bit Light into a large port on a Micro 4-Port Expansion Board. Take the AA Battery Pack and insert 3x NEW AA Batteries to it. Connect the Battery Pack cable to the other large port on the Micro Expansion Board, then turn ON the power to test the blue 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 flashing lights to the lights hanging over the ice rink. Disconnect the two light sections on the right, then disassemble them as shown below.   Take a Flashing White 30cm Micro Bit Light and place the LED inside one of the white plates with clips. Secure the Bit Light in place by reconnecting the trans green round plate over the top. Warning – Do not forcefully connect the LEGO plate back inside the white plate. Because of the size of the micro LED, the plate will not fully connect inside. Forcing the plate to fully reconnect may cause the wire to break.     Repeat this step to install another Flashing White 30cm Micro Bit Light to the other light section.     4.) Reconnect the red light to the overhead string, ensuring the trans red plate is facing down. Bring the cable across and over the flag, then reconnect the green light ensuring the cable from the red light is laid inside the white clip of the green light.   Bring both cables over the flag, then disconnect the pole and wind both cables around it three times. Secure the two cables underneath the white 2×2 plate underneath the pole as shown below. Ensure the two cables are laid in between studs underneath and towards the back of this section.   Turn the set around to the back and connect both Micro Bit Light cables to the Micro Expansion Board (smaller ports). Turn the AA Battery Pack ON to test the flashing lights are working OK.     5.) We will now install the other two flashing lights above the rink. Disconnect the two light sections on the left side, then following the same process used in previous steps, install another 2x Flashing White 30cm Micro Bit Lights to these lights.     6.) Reconnect the green light first, ensuring the trans green plate is facing down, then bring the cable over the flag. Reconnect the red light ensuring the cable from the green light is clipped inside the white clip of the red light. Bring both cables over the flag.   Wind both cables around the pole twice, then secure the cables underneath the white plate on the bottom of the pole. Ensure the cables are laid together in between studs underneath and that they are facing toward the back of this section.     7.) Turn the set around to the back and disconnect the white 2×4 plate underneath the larger tree on the right. Lay the two cables down in between studs as shown below, then reconnect the white plate as well as the larger tree.   Connect the two Micro Bit Lights to the remaining ports on the Micro Expansion Board. Turn ON the Battery Pack to test the flashing lights are all working OK.     8.) Disconnect the AA Battery Pack from the expansion board, then disconnect the bench as well as the white 2×4 plate to the right of it. Lay the cables from the Blue Bit Light and the two Flashing Micro Bit Lights toward the centre of this section in between studs. Reconnect the 2×4 plate over the top followed by the bench.   Secure the cables underneath the smaller tree, then twist the cables around each other a few times just behind the smaller tree. Take 2x Adhesive Squares and stick them to the back of the expansion board, then stick the expansion board on the back of the white plates behind the bench.   Continue to twist and fold up the cables into a neat bunch, then tuck any remaining cable underneath the plates.   Take a 30cm Connecting Cable and connect it to the larger port on the Micro Expansion Board. Leave the other end of the cable disconnected for now as this will be used to connect to an expansion board on the back of the bakery later on.     9.) We will now install lights to the bakery. First disconnect the sections just above the windows, then turn the set around and remove the roof and chimney sections as shown below.   Follow the below images to continue to disconnect sections from the top half of the bakery.   Turn the set around to the front and disconnect the following sections surrounding the front window.     10.) Take the front lamp section and disassemble it as shown below, then take a White 15cm Bit Light and thread the connector end of the cable through the bottom of the trans yellow cone piece. Thread the cable all the way through then, with the LED facing the front, reconnect the black post piece and re-clip it back to the orange brick. Reconnect the black round plate to the top.   Bring the cable down behind the black post, then underneath the brown brick before reconnecting it to the front of the Bakery. Ensuring the cable is laid in between studs, reconnect the red ‘L’ bricks over the top.     11.) Connect the White 15cm Bit Light to a White Strip Light, then take the AA Battery Pack and connect it to the Strip Light’s other port. Turn the Battery Pack ON to test the lamp and strip 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.   Disconnect the AA Battery Pack from the Strip Light, then reconnect all the sections we removed earlier surrounding the front window.     12.) We will now install a light to the lamp post. First disconnect and disassemble to lamp post as shown below:   Take a White 30cm Bit Light and place it in the centre of the black round plate. Secure the Bit Light in place by reconnecting the trans yellow brick with black dish over the top. Thread the Bit Light cable through the top of the sign section via the top open stud on the black brick. Pull the cable all the way out from the bottom, then reconnect the lamp. Ensure the cable is tucked into the gap underneath the black stud.     13.) Continue to thread the cable through all the black round bricks as well as the black cone brick at the bottom, then reconnect everything together (without the black bar). Reconnect the lamp post to the front of the set, then lay the cable behind it, in between studs. Reposition the tree in the middle of the plate to cover up the wire.   Turn the set around, then connect the Bit Light cable from the lamp post to an 8-Port Expansion Board. Take the AA Battery Pack and connect it to the expansion board, then turn ON the battery pack to test the lamp post 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.     14.) Take a 30cm Connecting Cable and connect it to the 8-Port Expansion Board, then connect the other end of the cable to the other port on the White Strip Light from previous step.   Using it’s adhesive backing, stick the right side of the Strip Light underneath the red bricks on the right. The Strip Light is currently only partially sticking to this section as we will stick the other side of the strip light at a later stage.   Secure the White 15cm Bit Light cable underneath the left roof pieces ensuring you first pull the cable up to prevent it from being seen from the outside. Lay the 30cm Connecting Cable across the top of the bottom floor in between studs as shown below.     15.) We will now install flickering lights to the bakery oven. Follow the below images to disconnect sections of the oven to allow us to disconnect the trans orange round plates.   Take a White 15cm Micro Bit Light and with the cable facing the back corner, place the LED over the top left black stud. Secure the Micro Bit Light in place by reconnecting one of the trans orange round plates over the top. Repeat this to install another White 15cm Micro Bit Light to the right side.   Install another 2x White 15cm Micro Bit Lights to the bottom two studs, ensuring the cables are this time facing the bottom corners before reconnecting the trans orange round plates over the top. Pull the front two cables up before reconnecting the light grey ‘L’ plates.     16.) Take the upper oven section and disconnect the following sections from the bottom of it. Reconnect these two sections to the oven, then lay the two cables from each side, over the top of these sections, laying them in between studs.   Disconnect the following sections from the bottom of the oven section, then reconnect these pieces over the top of the cables.   Pull all four cables up, then thread them through underneath the space on the remaining oven section pieces. Reconnect the top of the oven, then pull the cables toward to back (front of the bakery).     17.) Take the second level section which sits above the left side of the bakery and disconnect the two bricks from underneath of it. Ensuring the four micro bit light cables are laid in between studs, reconnect the two light grey bricks over the top of them.   Lay the 30cm Connecting Cable in between the following studs (over the dark grey roof brick as well as in between studs below) before reconnecting the second level section over the top. Ensure the micro bit light cables are pulled up and are still accessible.   Take a new Micro 4-Port Expansion Board, and connect the four Micro Bit Lights to it. Slip the cables in between the bricks and leave the expansion board behind the brown crate for now, as we will connect this up later.   Ensure the cables are laid in between studs (30cm cable and white 15cm bit light cable), then reconnect the upper chimney section. Stick the left side of the White Strip Light underneath this section, then turn ON the Battery Pack to test the strip light is working and lighting up the bakery floor.     18.) Disconnect the crate from the second level, then take a 5cm Connecting Cable and connect it to the large port on the Micro Expansion Board. Connect the other end of the 5cm cable to one of the OUT ports on a Flicker Effects Board.   Take another 5cm Connecting Cable and connect it to the IN port on the Flicker Effects Board. Connect the other end of the 5cm connecting cable to the large port on a new Micro 4-Port Expansion Board.   Take a 15cm Connecting Cable and connect it to the other large port on the Micro Expansion Board we just connected, then bring the cable down the left side of the bakery and connect it to a spare port on the 8-Port Expansion Board at the bottom of the set. Turn the Battery Pack ON to test the oven 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.     19.) Disconnect the white tile on the left side of the bakery, then disconnect the left wall section. Turn the set around to the front, then reconnect the window section to the left side.   Remove all the light sections above both windows on the second floor, disconnecting them from the black plates with clips. Disconnect the red 1×4 plate behind them, then disconnect the trans coloured round plates from the white plates of the light sections as shown below.     20.) Take a Flashing White 15cm Micro Bit Light and place the LED inside the white plate with clip. Secure the Bit Light in place by reconnecting one of the trans red round plates. Remember – Do not forcefully connect the LEGO plate back inside the white plate. Because of the size of the micro LED, the plate will not fully connect inside. Forcing the plate to fully reconnect may cause the wire to break.   Lay the cable underneath the middle of the black plate, before reconnecting this section back to the top of the left window. Ensure the cable is laid in between studs underneath.   Install another Flashing White 15cm Micro Bit Light to the other light section, then reconnect it to the top of the left window.   Ensuring both cables are laid in between studs, reconnect the red 1×4 plate behind, then bring both cables across to the right side and secure them down underneath the following angled red brick.     21.) Repeat the previous step to install another 2x Flashing White 15cm Micro Bit Lights to the remaining light sections, then reconnect them above the right window. Ensuring the cables are laid in between studs, reconnect the red 1×4 plate behind.   Turn the set around to the back and connect all four flashing micro bit lights to the Micro 4-Port Expansion Board (one with nothing connected to it). Turn ON the Battery Pack to test the flashing lights above the windows are working OK.     22.) Neaten up all the excess cabling from the Flashing lights by twisting and folding them altogether into a neat bunch. Group all the components on the second floor together, then lay the 15cm Connecting Cable in between studs on the left side. Secure the cable down by reconnecting the white tile and the left wall section we removed earlier.     23.) We will now install a light to the bottom section of the bakery. Turn the set around to the side, and use your LEGO removal tool to create a gap just underneath the light grey plate above the side window.   Take a White 15cm Bit Light and turn it over so that the LED is facing down, then thread the Bit Light through the gap we just created. Position the LED in the centre underneath the second floor, then secure it in place by connecting a provided LEGO Trans Clear Plate w Rounded Bottom 2×2 over it.The LED should be facing down and positioned in the middle of the trans clear plate.   Close up the gap we created, ensuring the Bit Light cable is laid in between studs, then connect the Bit Light to a spare port on the 8-Port Expansion Board at the bottom of the set. Turn ON the Battery Pack to test the internal 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.     24.) Turn the set around to the front, then starting from the right side, reconnect the roof sections as well as the sections that connect on top of the windows.   Turn the set around and reconnect the top of the chimney, then reconnect the crate to the second floor ensuring the components are nicely tucked in and hidden behind it.     25.) The last light we need to install to the bakery is the one just above the front door. Take the remaining White 15cm Bit Light and stick it to an Adhesive Square. With the cable facing the right side, stick the Bit Light underneath the white plate above the door.   Bring the cable underneath the roof section and around to the back, then secure it underneath the white tile on the side of the building. Connect the Bit Light to a spare port on the 8-Port Expansion Board, then turn ON the AA Battery Pack to test the front door 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.     26.) Take 2x Adhesive Squares and stick them to the back of the 8-Port Expansion Board. Secure the expansion board to the back of the set in the following position, then neaten up the cables by twisting and folding them together into a neat bunch. Tuck the bunched up cables into the corner and secure them all down using tape.     27.) We will now install a light to the tree shop. First disconnect the roof from this section, then flip it over so we can access underneath. Take a White 30cm Bit Light and with the cable on the left side, place the LED underneath the roof in the middle. Secure the Bit Light in place by connecting the remaining provided Trans Clear Plate w Rounded Bottom 2×2 over the top.   Flip the roof section back over and reconnect it to the tree shop, then bring the cable down the side of the shop and secure it underneath the side bricks, with the cable facing out.     28.) Position the Ice Rink section on the left side of the Bakery. Take the other end of the 30cm Connecting Cable from this section and connect it to a spare port on the 8-Port Expansion Board.   Position the Tree Shop to the other side of the Bakery, then connect the bit light cable to the remaining spare port on the 8-Port Expansion Board. Turn the Battery Pack ON to test all the lights connected are working OK.    

This finally completes installation of the Light My Bricks Winter Village Bakery Light Kit.
