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 christmas tree on the side of the Gingerbread House. First disconnect the star followed by the four panel sections around the tree.
  Disconnect the bottom sections from the front of the star as shown below, then reconnect the 1×2 plate with open studs.
    2.) Take a Flashing White 15cm Bit Light and place it in between the two open studs, in the centre of the star. Secure the Bit Light in place by reconnecting the trans yellow triangular pieces over the top.
  Thread the other end of the Bit Light cable through the gap at the bottom of the star, then pull the cable all the way out from behind. Reconnect the star to the tree.
    3.) We will now light up the tree panels starting with the two that have the two trans yellow round plates on them. Take one panel and disconnect the bottom triangular plate from underneath, then disconnect the trans yellow round plate from the top.
  Take a Flashing White 15cm Bit Light and with the cable facing away from you, place it directly over the green stud as shown below. Secure the Bit Light in place by reconnecting the trans yellow round plate over the top.
  Disconnect the following few pieces from the bottom of the panel, then take another Flashing White 15cm Bit Light and with the cable facing the right, place it over the green stud. Secure the Bit Light in place by reconnecting the trans yellow round plate, followed by the other pieces we disconnected earlier.
    4.) Fold the cable from the left underneath the plate as shown below, then take the cable from the right and bring it under the plate and lay it in between the studs of the plate that connects underneath this section. Reconnect the sections ensuring the cables are laid in between studs.
    5.) Follow the previous steps to install another 2x Flashing White 15cm Bit Lights to the other tree panel with two trans yellow round plates.
    6.) Take one of the panels and fold the two bit light cables down so they are facing the bottom. Tuck the top cable down underneath in the side of the plate, then reconnect the panel to the front of the tree.
  Turn the tree around and bring the cable from the star down and lay it in between the studs before reconnecting the other panel over it. Ensure the top cable from the panel is also laid underneath the plate on the side.
    7.) Take the other two tree panels and disconnect sections from one of them to install another Flashing White 15cm Bit Light to it.
  Fold the Bit Light cable underneath the plate and lay it in between studs of the plate that it connects on top of, then securely reconnect the plates together.
    8.) Repeat the previous step to install another Flashing White 15cm Bit Light to the remaining tree panel.
  Fold each cable down toward the bottom of each panel, then reconnect each panel to the tree ensuring you connect the plates over the Bit Light cables from the other panels underneath.
    9.) Turn the tree around so that we are facing the back, then connect all seven bit light cables to an 8-Port Expansion Board. Take the AA Battery Pack and insert 3x NEW batteries to it. Connect the battery pack cable to the expansion board, then turn it ON to test all the flashing lights installed to the tree 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.     10.) Disconnect the Battery Pack and all seven lights from the expansion board. From the back of the tree, twist all the cables around each other all the way to the ends so it forms one larger cable.
  Reconnect the all the lights to the expansion board, then neatly bunch up the cables toward the end so they all come together. Position the components behind the tree, then connect a 30cm Connecting Cable to the remaining port. We will use this cable to connect to the rest of the Gingerbread House lights later on.
    11.) We will now install lights to the Gingerbread House. We will need to disconnect quite a few sections from the top. First turn the set around to the back and disconnect the two roof sections as shown below:
  Continue to remove roof and chimney sections as per below:
    12.) Turn the set around to the front, then disconnect the following sections on top of the fire place to allow us to remove the LEGO light brick section.
  Remove the window wall section, followed by the front roof, then continue to remove sections from the top of the fire place.
    13.) Use your LEGO Removal Tool to create a gap between the white and brown plates above the front door, then disconnect the two lamps at the front.
  Disconnect the black round plate from one of the lamps, then take a White 15cm Bit Light and place it directly over the stud of the black round plate. Secure the Bit Light in place by reconnecting the lamp over the top, ensuring the cable is facing the back of the lamp.
  Wind the cable around the lamp post, then bring the lamp towards the house and thread the cable through the gap we created earlier, pulling the cable out from the inside until we can reconnect the lamp to the front.
    14.) Repeat previous step to install another White 15cm Bit Light to the other lamp, then thread the cable through the gap and reconnect it to the front of the house.
  Ensure both cables are laid in between the brown studs, then close up the gap by securely reconnecting the top section.
  Turn the set around and connect the two Bit Light cables we just installed to a 6-Port Expansion Board. Take the AA Battery Pack and connect it to a spare port on the expansion board, then turn it ON to test the two front lamps 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.     15.) We will now light up both front and inside sections of the fireplace. First disconnect the AA Battery Pack from the expansion board, then disconnect the chair followed by the fire section from the inside fireplace, by the black 2×4 plate as shown below:
  Turn the set around, then disconnect the fire section from the front of the firepalce by the black 2×4 plate.
    16.) Take one of the fire sections and disconnect and discard the trans orange round plate from the front. Take a White 15cm Bit Light and ensuring the cable is facing the right side, place it over the black stud underneath where the trans orange stud was. Secure the Bit Light in place by connecting a provided LEGO Trans Orange Round Plate 1×1 over the top.
  Disconnect and disassemble the flame section behind, then install another White 15cm Bit Light ensuring the cable is this time laid toward the left side.
  Using a pair of scissors, snip the tip at the bottom of the flame piece off to allow us to then reconnect the flame section to the trans orange stud as shown below:
  Group the two Bit Light cables together, then thread both cables up the chimney in the inside of the set. Pull them out from the top, then reconnect the black 2×4 plate.
    17.) Repeat the previous step to install another 2x White 15cm Bit Lights to the fire place section on the front side. Discard the trans orange round plate with open stud that came with the set and replace it with another provided LEGO Trans Orange Round Plate 1×1.
  Turn the set around to the front, then group the two Bit Light Cables from the fire section and thread them up the chimney, pulling them both out from above. Reconnect the fire place via the black 2×4 plate.
    18.) Connect all four Bit Light cables from the fireplace to a new 6-Port Expansion Board, then take a 5cm Connecting Cable and connect it to a spare port. Connect the other end of the 5cm Cable to one of the OUT ports on a Flicker Effects Board. Take the AA Battery Pack and connect it to the IN port on the Flicker Effects Board, then turn the power ON to test the fireplace 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.   Disconnect the AA Battery Pack from the flicker effects board, then reconnect the chair back to the inside of the house. Hide the cables from the fireplace by using your LEGO removal tool to push down and cables from each side of the fireplace down into each corner.
    19.) Use the LEGO Removal Tool to create gaps just above the bottom floor, underneath the white plates, then disconnect the entire top floor as shown below.
  Disconnect the two candles above the fireplace, then disconnect the brown 1×6 plate above to allow us to remove the following wall sections.
    20.) Take one of the candles and disconnect the flame piece, then take a White 15cm Micro Bit Light and slightly bend the LED down so that we can place it inside the candle as shown below. With the LED inside the hole of the candle, reconnect the flame piece to secure the light in place, then reconnect the candle on top of the fire place ensuring the cable is laid behind.
  Repeat this step to install another White 15cm Micro Bit Light to the other candle.
    21.) Ensure the Micro Bit Light cables are laid in between studs of the brown plate behind, then reconnect the wall sections over the top. Connect the lights to a Micro 4-Port Expansion Board, then take a 5cm Connecting Cable and connect it to the larger port on the expansion board. Connect the other end of the connecting cable to a different OUT port on the Flicker Effects Board.
  Take a 15cm Connecting Cable and connect it to the IN port on the Flicker Effects Board, then bring the other end of the cable across the right and connect it to a spare port on the 6-Port Expansion Board we connected the front lamps lights to.
    22.) Take a new 15cm Connecting Cable and connect it to the end port on the 6-Port Expansion Board, then take 2x Adhesive Squares and stick them to the back of the Expansion Board. Stick the expansion board to the inside of the building in the following position against the right wall as shown below. Ensure the 15cm cable we just connected is closest to the back of the house.
  Pull up the cables from the front lamps to ensure they don’t sag down, then disconnect the dark grey 1×1 brick behind them and lay the cables in between studs before reconnect the brick over the top.
  Bring the 15cm Connecting Cable over the bricks and toward the bottom of the set, then connect it to a new 6-Port Expansion Board. Take the AA Battery Pack and connect it to another spare port on the expansion board, then turn it ON to test the candle lights are working and flickering OK.
    23.) Group all the components from the flickering lights together and twist and wind them into a neat bunch.
  Lay the 15cm Connecting Cable that it connected between the flicker effects board and 6-port expansion board in between the following studs, then reconnect the dark brown wall section we removed earlier, over the top.
  Tuck all the components neatly inside the chimney, then reconnect the brown 1×6 plate to the top of the wall section.
  Reconnect the following brown plates above the fire place, as well as other sections we removed earlier, surrounding the chimney, then turn the set around to the front and reconnect the LEGO light brick section followed by bricks above.
    24.) We will now install a light in the front kitchen area. Carefully turn the set upside down so we can see underneath this area, then take a White 15cm Bit Light and with the cable facing toward you, place the LED (facing up) in the following position. Secure the light in place by connecting a provided Trans Clear Plate w Rounded Bottom 2×2 over the top. The Bit Light should be comfortably sitting in the middle of the trans clear plate.
  With the set turn back upright, bring the Bit Light cable out and connect it to a spare port on the 6-Port Expansion Board mounted to the wall. Turn the Battery Pack ON to test the light is working OK.
  Note: If you experience any issues with the lights not working and suspect an issue with a component, please try a different port on the expansion board to verify where the fault lies (with the light or expansion board). To correct any issues with expansion board ports, please view the section addressing expansion board issues on our online troubleshooting guide.     25.) Pull the excess cable from the White 15cm Bit Light up to ensure it is not dangling down and visible .
  Disconnect the following brown 1×1 brick at the top, then bring the 15cm Connecting Cable over the left arched brick and lay it in  between studs as shown below. Ensure there is just enough cable length from the top and the expansion board, then reconnect the brick over the top. Pull any excess of the 15cm cable from the inside up so that it doesn’t dangle down.
    26.) Take the entire top floor over the bottom floor and place it onto it’s side, then take another White 15cm Bit Light and connect it to the remaining port on the 6-Port Expansion Board mounted to the wall. With the cable facing the right, place the LED underneath the top floor in the following position. Secure it in place by connecting another provided Trans Clear Plate w Rounded Bottom 2×2 over the top.
  Loop the cable around to the left, then secure underneath the top floor by tucking it into the sides of the white plates. Reconnect the top floor then check underneath and ensure all cables from the Bit Light are tucked up, then turn the battery pack ON to test the lights are working OK.
    27.) Take a 30cm Connecting Cable and connect it to a spare port on the 6-Port Expansion Board at the bottom of the set, then bring the other end of the cable across to the left side.
  Lift up the roof panel section on the left, then disconnect the following pieces from the 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 post office truck. Disconnect the following sections surrounding the front and back of the truck as shown below:
  Disconnect the two headlight sections and disassemble one of them as shown below
    2.) Take a White 15cm Micro Bit Light and with the cable facing the same way as the tap, place the LED inside the plate underneath. Ensuring the LED is facing the correct way up, secure the Bit Light in place by reconnecting the trans clear round plate.
  Reconnect the tap piece to the dark grey plate with clip ensuring you secure the cable underneath the clip as shown below, then reconnect this headlight to the front of the truck.
  Repeat this process to install another White 15cm Micro Bit Light to the other headlight, before reconnecting it to the front of the truck.
    3.) Lay both cables in between studs leading to the back of the truck, then secure them in place by reconnecting all the pieces we removed earlier over the top.
  Connect the Bit Lights to the Micro 4-Port Expansion Board. Take the Flat Battery Pack and insert 2x NEW CR2032 Batteries inside. Connect the Battery Pack cable to the larger port on the expansion board, then turn it ON to test if the headlights are working OK. IMPORTANT NOTE: Flat and Round Battery Packs (CR2032) have been removed as of June 2022 due to child safety regulations.  To test the lights, connect the 50cm Connecting Cable to a spare Expansion Board. Take the AA Battery Pack and with new batteries inserted, connect it to the expansion board. Turn the battery pack ON to test if all is working ok.  Once tested, disconnect the Expansion Board and AA Battery Pack and set them aside.
  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.) Turn the truck over so we can access underneath of it, then disconnect the 4×6 plate.
  Stick 2x Adhesive Squares onto the back of the Flat Battery Pack, then stick it it underneath the truck with the switch facing the back.
  Disconnect the rear wheel section and lay the battery pack cable underneath, before reconnecting it over the top, securing the cable.
    5.) We will now install the rear lights to the truck. First disconnect this section and disconnect the trans red round plates.
  Take another White 15cm Micro Bit Light and place the LED facing up over the top of one of the grey studs. Secure the Bit Light in place by reconnecting one of the trans red round plates over the top, then repeat this step to install another White 15cm Micro Bit Light to the other rear light.
    6.) Tuck the bit light cables underneath this section, then before we reconnect this to the back of the truck, lay the battery pack cable in between studs as shown below:
  Connect the two Bit Lights to the Micro 4-Port Expansion Board, then turn the battery pack ON to test the rear lights are working OK.
    7.) Neaten up the cables by twisting and folding them together into a neat bunch. Place the components directly in front of the light grey back piece before reconnecting the main carriage section.
  Test all lights are working OK.
    8.) We will now install lights to the gazebo. First lift up the four roof sections, then disconnect the 2x trans red round plates from the front.
  Take a Flashing White 15cm Bit Light and with the cable facing the outside, place it over the left stud. Secure it in place by reconnecting the trans red round plate over the top.
  Thread the bit light cable through the space in the centre of the roof. Turn the section around to the back and pull the cable all the way out.
    9.) Repeat the previous step to install another Flashing White 15cm Bit Light to the right side and pulling it out from the back side.
  Connect both cables to a 6-Port Expansion Board,  then turn the set back around to the front and push close the centre roof panel.
    10.)  Turn the set around to the back again and using the same method as we did for the front lights, install another 2x Flashing White 15cm Bit Lights to the back except this time, ensure the cables are facing the middle .
  Connect both lights to the 6-Port Expansion Board, then take the AA Battery Pack and insert 3x NEW AA Batteries to it. Connect the battery pack cable to the expansion board, then turn it ON to test the flashing 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.     11.) We will now install another flashing light to the star. First disconnect all the lights from the expansion board, then completely disconnect the gazebo roof. Disconnect the star and disassemble this section as shown below.

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 the headlights and the front indicator lights. To start, disconnect and disassemble the following sections as shown below:
  Take a White 30cm Large Bit Light and place it in the centre of the black round plate. Secure the Large Bit Light in place by reconnecting the trans clear dish over the top.
  Pull down the following section, then thread the connector end of the Bit Light cable underneath the middle of this section. Pull the cable all the way up from the top, then reconnect the headlight ensuring the cable of the light is facing the bottom of the headlight.
    2.) Thread the Large Bit Light cable down the light grey technic brick hole on the right side. Turn the Harley around to the left side and pull the cable all the way out as shown below:
  Thread the cable behind the following bar, then connect the Bit Light to a 6-Port Expansion Board. Take your USB Power Cable and connect it to the end port on the 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.

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.

    30.) We now need to clean up excess cables and prevent them from being too obvious from the outside looking in. First disconnect the TV and reconnect it over the top of the cables to secure them down then turn the third level around to the back for better access.
  Group all the cables on the left (except for the White 15cm Bit Light cable) and fold/twist them around each other to form a neat bunch. Neatly tuck the bunched up cables and expansion board down next to the TV, then connect the White 15cm Bit Light to a spare port on the expansion board.
    31.) Disconnect the bed, then take out a new 30cm Connecting Cable and connect it to a spare port on the 8-port Expansion Board.
  Neatly lay the 30cm connecting cable down along the floor toward the left corner, then up the wall. Neatly bunch up the white 15cm bit light cable before reconnecting the bed over the two cables to secure them in place.
  Pull the cable up along the right side of the wall then secure it underneath the light grey 1×4 tile on the top.
    32.) Bring the entire third level above the building then take the spare end of the 30cm Connecting Cable from the second level underneath and connect it to the Strip Light underneath the 3rd level. Securely reconnect the third level on top, then turn ON the USB Power Bank to test all the lights we installed so far 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.     33.) Take the entire roof section and turn it onto it’s back so we can access underneath. Take out the remaining 2x White Strip Lights and stick them to the provided 2x LEGO Plates 1×6.
  Connect the two strip lights together using a 15cm Connecting Cable, then take a new 15cm Connecting Cable and connect it to one of the strip light’s spare port.     34.) Mount the two strip lights underneath the roof section in the below positions, ensuring the spare end of the 15cm Connecting Cable is closest to the door way that leads to the rooftop.
  Open the doors and thread the other end of the 15cm Connecting Cable up to the rooftop. Flip the roof section back over and pull the cable up. Secure the cable by closing the doors, then connect the cable to the 6-port Expansion Board
    35.) Disconnect the following piece from the left corner of the roof, then take a White 15cm Bit Light and with the LED facing down, place it over the centre of the brown piece. Secure it in place by reconnecting the light grey piece over the top, then pull the bit light cable back so the LED is just peaking out the top of the roof piece.
  Connect the Bit Light to the 6-port Expansion Board.     36.) Remove the following section from the front corner of the roof. Take out another White 15cm Bit Light and with the LED facing down, place it over the centre of the brown piece underneath.  Secure it in place by reconnecting the light grey piece over the top, then pull the bit light cable back so the LED is just peaking out the top of the roof piece.
  Connect the Bit Light to the 6-port Expansion Board.     37.) Remove the following section from the right corner of the roof. Take out the remaining White 30cm Bit Light and with the LED facing down, place it over the centre of the brown piece underneath.  Secure it in place by reconnecting the light grey piece over the top, then pull the bit light cable back so the LED is just peaking out the top of the roof piece.
  Connect the Bit Light to the 6-port Expansion Board.     38.) Group the three bit light cables together and twist/fold them around each other to form a neat bunch.
  Take 2x Adhesive Squares and stick them on the back of the 6-Port Expansion Board. Mount the expansion board to the inside of the left corner of the roof, then secure the bunch of cables by tucking them in underneath it.
    39.) Take the rooftop section over the rest of the building and locate the spare end of the 30cm Connecting Cable from underneath. Connect the cable to the strip light underneath the rooftop section.
  Securely reconnect the rooftop, then turn ON the USB Power Bank to confirm that all the lights installed are working OK.

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.

Installing Bit Lights under LEGO® bricks and plates.

When installing Bit Lights under LEGO® pieces, ensure they are placed the correct way up (Yellow LED component exposed). You can either place them directly on top of LEGO® studs or in between.

OK, Let’s Begin!

1.) The first thing we will light will be the ticket booth. Start by carefully disconnecting this section and then remove the front ‘Ticket’ sign and disconnect the four trans round tiles from it.

Disconnect the following side sections on the left and right of the Ticket sign and then disconnect the trans round tiles from each side.

2.) Take a Flashing White 15cm Bit Light and place it directly over the far left stud on the left side section. Secure it in place by connecting a provided LEGO Trans Yellow Round Plate 1×1 over the top.

Reconnect this side section back to the top of the ticket booth ensuring the cable is laid toward the centre as per below.

Take another Flashing White 15cm Bit Light and install it to the right side section, securing it in place with a provided LEGO Trans Green Round Plate 1×1.

Reconnect the right section to the top of the ticket booth ensuring the cable is laid toward the centre as per below (toward the left)

To make it easier to install the rest of the lights to the ticket booth, disconnect the roof.

3.) Take another Flashing White 15cm Bit Light and place it over the far left stud of the Ticket sign with the cable facing down. Secure it in place using a provided LEGO Trans Green Round Plate 1×1

Install another Flashing White 15cm Bit Light to the next stud along, securing it in place using a provided LEGO Trans Yellow Round Plate 1×1.

Install another 2x Flashing White 15cm Bit Lights to the next two studs, securing them using another provided Trans Green and Trans Yellow Round Plates 1×1.

4.) Fold the four cables underneath the Ticket sign and then hold the cables in place at the top of the back of the sign. This will allow us to reconnect the sign to the roof ensuring the cables are laid in between studs.

The two centre cables should be laid together in between studs.

Group all the cables together and then twist them around each other all the way to the top to form one larger cable

5.) Take an 8-Port Expansion Board and then connect all six cables to it

Test the flashing lights we have installed by taking the AA Battery Pack and inserting 3x AA Batteries to it. Connect the battery pack cable to a spare port on the expansion board and then turn it ON to verify the flashing lights are working OK

 

If you’re using the USB Power Cable, connect this to the board this instead of the battery pack, and connect the other end to a USB Power Bank or wall adaptor (sold separately) and turn it ON to test the front lights are working OK.

 

Disconnect the battery pack /usb cable from the expansion board and then reconnect the roof to the ticket booth.

Take a 30cm Connecting Cable and connect one end to a spare port on the 8-port expansion board and then connect the other end to a 6-Port Expansion Board

6.) Reconnect the ticket booth back to the roller coaster base, then disconnect the two dark blue tiles on the right of the roof.

Lay the thick cable in between white studs as shown below before reconnecting the dark blue tiles over the top.

Reconnect the roller coaster track and then ensure all cables are pushed down and laying as flat as possible to prevent the roller coaster carriage wheels from getting stuck as it passes.

 

 

7.) Take 2x Adhesive Squares and stick them on the base side of the 8-port Expansion Board. Bring the cable over to the right and then mount the 8-port expansion board on the back of the front Roller Coaster pillar as per below.

Ensure the 30cm Connecting cable is at the lowest point and then hide the cable behind the bin.

Take the 6-port expansion board which is connected to the other end of the 30cm connecting cable and then push it through underneath the stairs behind the roller coaster platform

 

 

8.) We will now install lights underneath the front tracks. First disconnect the following double track section as per below then take out a Multi Colour Light String.

Thread the connector side of the light string underneath the platform through the left side. Pull it out from the left side behind the plat form and then connect it to a spare port on the 6–port expansion board we threaded through in the previous step.

 

Slightly disconnect the three front pillars at the bottom white round 2×2 brick as shown below:

 

9.) Lay the wire in between the 4th and 5th LED along the light string underneath the first pillar. Lay the wire in between studs, then secure it in place by pushing the pillar of white round bricks down over the top.

 

Continue to lay the light string underneath the next pillar of white round bricks in between the 5th and 6th LED on the light string. Secure the light string by pushing down the pillar over the top.

 

Slightly disconnect the next white pillar of white bricks, then lay the light string down underneath in between bricks. Lay the light string up towards the white pillar behind, then secure it by reconnecting the white pillar of round bricks.

 

Neatly lay the cable down toward the side of the light grey bricks as shown below:

 

 

10.) Pull the 6-port expansion board out from underneath behind the platform and then connect another Multi Colour Light String to the next port along.

 

 

Push all the components back underneath the platform until you can just see the second LED on the Light String

 

 

Disconnect the light grey tile along the back and lay the wire in between the 2nd and 3rd LED underneath in between studs. Reconnect the tile over the top

 

Lay the multi colour light string down underneath the first pillar in between the 4th and 5th LED, following the same method as we did for the first multi colour light string.

 

Continue to lay the light string underneath the next pillar, then again underneath the next pillar in between the 9th and 10th LED.

 

 

Bend the end of the light string down toward the front, then neaten up the two multi colour light strings by pushing the wires down along the side of the grey bricks as shown below.

 

 

Reconnect the tracks we removed earlier.

 

 

 

 

11.) We will now install a flashing light to the roller coaster control on the platform. First disconnect this section and then remove the trans red round tile.

Take a Flashing Red 30cm Bit Light and then with the cable facing behind, place it over the white stud. Secure it in place by connecting a provided LEGO Trans Red Round Plate 1×1 over the top. Pull the cable around to the left side and then hide the cable underneath the lever.

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.



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 removing the front sections of the train as per below in order for us to install the front lights.
    2.) Remove the trans clear plate and then take a White 15cm Bit Light and place it directly over the stud of the black piece. Reconnect the trans clear plate over the top to secure it in place.
  Disassemble pieces of the light section that sits above.
  Take another White 15cm Bit Light and thread the connector side through the hole of the black dish piece. Thread the cable all the way through until the LED is right up against the hole as per below.
  Reconnect pieces which make up this front light
    3.) Reconnect both light sections back to the front of the train starting with the top light and ensure both cables are facing down.
    4.) Take a 6-port Expansion Board and connect the two lights to the ports.
Take the 2x Multi Colour Light Strings and connect these to the next available ports on the expansion board
  Take a 30cm Connecting Cable and connect one end to the next available port on the expansion board.
  Take the Light My Bricks Power Functions Cable or Light My Bricks Powered Up Cable and connect the connector end to the remaining port on the expansion board
    5.) Reconnect the front wheels of the train ensuring the cables for the two front lights are neatly laid in between as per below
  Using 2x Adhesive Squares, stick the expansion board underneath the train in the below position. Neaten all the cables and secure them underneath the back wheels section.
  Thread the Power functions cable (LEGO connector side) up through the inside of the train before mounting the expansion board.
  Connect the power functions cable to power pack and turn the power ON test that all lights connected are working OK.
  *If you are using the Light My Bricks Powered Up cable (LEGO power functions 2.0), read the below two options on connecting to the Powered Up battery box. Option 1 – If you’re using the hand controller to control the train motor, Leave the train motor cable connected to port A and connect the Light My Bricks Powered Up cable to port B. This will allow you to turn the lights on if the train is stationary. Press the “+” or “-” button on the controller (on the B side) to test the lights are turning ON and working OK.   Option 2- If you’re using the smartphone app to control the train motor, pull out the train motor cable from the battery box 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. Launch the Powered Up App on your smart phone and ensure the battery box is paired to the phone. Press the “+” or “- button on the 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.     6.) Take the next carriage and then remove the top section as well as the inside section as per below.
    7.) Pull the 30cm connecting cable all the way across from the front carriage and neatly lay it in between studs before reconnecting the top section over the top. Try not to leave too much cable slack between the first and second carriage as we need as much cable length as possible in order to reach to the remaining carriages.
  Hook the second carriage up and then connect the Power Functions Cable onto the power pack and then neaten cables by tucking them into the inside of the front carriage.
  Feed the two Multi Colour Light Strings through and behind the white and gold LEGO pieces on each side of the carriage. Tuck the ends of the light strings into the first carriage.
    8.) Take the third carriage and then remove the loose pieces from the front before removing the Christmas tree section.
  Turn the carriage over and then remove the technic bar from underneath.
  The Christmas tree will be unable to spin with this light kit installed therefore, we need to remove and discard the cog piece from the technic bar to prevent the tree from turning.
    9.) Disconnect the top and sides of the Christmas tree then disassemble pieces as per below
  Take a Flashing White 15cm Bit Light and thread the connector side through the top of the green dish.

Secure the LED in place by reconnecting the trans blue round plate over the top followed by top plate we removed earlier ensuring the cable is laid in on the outside of the studs.
  Take another Flashing White 15cm Bit Light and place it directly over the bottom right stud. Secure it in place by reconnecting the trans red round plate over the top as per below
    11.) Take another Flashing White 15cm Bit Light and place it directly over the bottom stud on the next plate. Secure it in place by reconnecting the trans yellow round plate over the top.
    12.) Repeat this process to install another 3x Flashing White 15cm Bit Lights over the next 2 sides.
    13.) Reconnect each side back to the structure of the tree ensuring the cable from the top light is laid in between pieces as per below
    14.) Take all 7 cables and then twist them around each other at the base of the tree so that they all come together forming one larger cable.
    15.) Re-insert the technic bar we removed earlier underneath the carriage and then reconnect the tree on top of the carriage ensuring the cable is facing toward the back.
    16.) Turn the carriage over again and then slightly remove the left side of the wheel section. Locate the other end of the 30cm connecting cable from the front carriage and then pull it across and thread it through the middle of the carriage. Pull it all the way out from the other side and then reconnect the wheel section back to the carriage to secure the cable in place. Before doing so, ensure the cable is laid in between studs.
    17.) Take a 12-port Expansion Board and connect the 30cm connecting cable to the first port (from the right) then connect all the cables from the Christmas tree to the other spare ports.

Installing Bit Lights under LEGO® bricks and plates.

When installing Bit Lights under LEGO® pieces, ensure they are placed the correct way up (Yellow LED component exposed). You can either place them directly on top of LEGO® studs or in between.

OK, Let’s Begin!

Instructions for installing this kit

1.) In order for us to install lights to all of the lamp posts, we will need to remove several sections from the top of the base. This will also allow us to wire all the lighting and hide cables underneath. With the opera house positioned as per below, follow the images in order to remove sections.

Your opera house should look similar to below

2.) Turn your set around so that you are facing the front and then remove the 12x pictured lamp posts.

Disconnect the trans-clear round plates from all of the lamp posts

3.) Take a White 30cm Bit Light and place it directly over the top of one of the lamp posts. Secure the light in place by reconnecting a trans-clear round plate over the top.

Push the cable down so that it is facing directly down.

Repeat this step to install another 11x White 30cm Bit Lights to the remaining 11 lamp posts.

4.) Reconnect three of the wired lamp posts to the right side of the set. Ensure the cables are facing the outside as per below

5.) Starting with the top lamp posts, hide the lamp post cable underneath the following tile next to it. Ensure the cable is laid in between studs before reconnecting the tile over the top.

Remove the entire plate the lamp post is connected to and then bring the cable underneath before reconnecting the plate.

Repeat this step for the other 2 wired lamp posts.

6.) Reconnect the remaining 9 wired lamp posts to the set, ensuring the cables are facing toward the outside.

7.) Starting with the next 2 lamp posts on the right, loop them underneath the plates below. Note: for these 2, we do not need to lay the cable underneath the tiles on the outside before doing so. We do however require to remove extra plates in order to lay the cable all the way underneath to allow us to later connect them to an expansion board.

8.) To allow us to lay the remaining lamp post cables, remove the following sections.

9.) The cable for the next lamp post on the right also does not require to be laid underneath the tile in front. Simply lift the plate it is connected to and lay the cable underneath as per below

10.) For the next 2 lamp posts cables along, lay them underneath tiles before looping/laying them underneath the plates they are connected to.

11.) For the next 2 lamp post cables, simply lay them underneath plates.

12.) Lay the remaining 2 lamp post cables underneath tiles before laying them underneath the plates they are connected to.

26.) Continue to secure the cables for the next two lamp posts along the sides as well as the spot light cable by laying them underneath tiles and then laying them underneath the plates below.

Reconnect the spot light base (1×6 plate) as per below and then set the angle of the spot light so that it is pointing up toward the left (eventually at the opera house)

27.) Remove the following plate to allow us to then lay the cables for the remaining three lamp posts.

28.) Take the first six cables we laid on the left and then connect them to the 12-port expansion board we used in step 18.

Take another 30cm connecting cable and connect it to one of the remaining ports on the expansion board.

Connect the other end of the 30cm connecting cable to a 6-Port Expansion Board

29.) Take the remaining three lamp post cables on the right and connect them to the 6-port expansion board. Reconnect the grey plate we removed earlier.

Take this time to test all the lights we have installed so far and to ensure everything is properly connected. To do so, take the 30cm USB Cable and connect it to a spare port on the 6-port expansion board. Connect the other end to your USB power bank and ensure all lights are working OK.

Once you have verified all the lights are working OK, disconnect the USB cable and proceed to the next step.

30.) Tuck in the cables from the 6-port expansion board underneath and then reconnect sections above which we removed earlier.

31.) Turn the set around so we are facing the opposite side and then remove the eight lamp posts we are yet to install lights for. Disconnect the trans-clear round plates from them.

32.) Install the remaining 8x White 30cm Bit Lights to the lamp posts and then reconnect them to the set ensuring the cables are facing toward the outside.

33.) Lay the cables for the five lamp posts toward the right underneath the tiles directly in front of them.

Remove the following sections.

34.) First lay the lamp post cable on the right underneath the plate it is connected to, then lay the lamp post cable on the left underneath it’s plate before reconnecting it. Ensure you carefully lay the cables in between studs underneath.

35.) Remove the following tile in between the two lamp posts we just connected as this is where we will be installing another spot light.

Locate the following provided LEGO pieces and assemble them as below to make another spot light.

36.) Stick another Multi-Coloured Strip Light to the base of the 2×6 plate and then connect a 30cm Connecting Cable to the port.

Reconnect the spot light to the following position

Loop the 30cm connecting cable around the spot light and then pull toward the inside of the set as per below.

Disconnect the plate underneath again and then lay the spot light cable underneath before reconnecting the plate.

37.) Move on to the next lamp post toward the left and lay cable for the lamp post underneath the plate before reconnecting.

38.) Locate the other end of the 30cm Connecting Cable we connected to the very first 12-port Expansion board we used and then connect it to the last remaining 12-port Expansion Board.

Connect the three lamp cables we have secured down, as well as the spot light cable to the expansion board.

Take this time to test all the lights we have installed so far and to ensure everything is properly connected. To do so, take the 30cm USB Cable and connect it to a spare port on the 12-port expansion board. Connect the other end to your USB power bank and ensure all lights are working OK.

Once you have verified all the lights so far are working OK, disconnect the USB cable and proceed to the next step.

39.) We will now move onto connecting the rest of the lamp posts as well as the final spot light. In order to do so, we will need to remove sections to lay the cables underneath. Follow the below example images to remove sections.

40.) Take the 12-port Expansion Board closest to you and then bring it across to the left by threading underneath the following section.

41.) Locate the remaining provided LEGO pieces and then assemble them as per below to make up a spot light

Stick another Multi-Coloured Strip Light to the base of the 2×6 plate and then connect a 30cm connecting cable to the port.

42.) Connect the spot light to the following position facing the Opera House.

Loop the cable behind the spot light and then pull towards the inside. Thread the cable underneath the following section and then connect it to a spare port on the 12-port expansion board

Carefully reconnect the 6×8 plate we removed earlier. The cable should fit nicely between plates. Take caution and ensure you do not forcefully connect the plate and snap the cable.

43.) Start with the two lamp posts on the far left. Disconnect the plate and then lay cables underneath and ensure the cables underneath are laid in between studs before reconnecting the plate.

Connect the cables for these two lamp posts to the 12-port Expansion Board.

44.) Secure cable for the next two lamp posts along by first disconnecting the plate and then laying the cables underneath before reconnecting the plate. Ensure the two cables are neatly laid and coming out underneath.

Connect the two lamp post cables to the expansion board.

45.) Take the USB Cable and connect it to the expansion board. Lay the cable down with USB plug facing outside. This will be where the USB power Bank will sit.

Reconnect the remaining lamp post section ensuring you lay the cable underneath the plate. Ensure you also have plenty of length for the USB Cable.

Connect the remaining lamp post cable to the last port on the expansion board.

46.) Tuck all the cables and expansion board underneath sections as neatly as you can ensuring there no loose wires.

Before we start reconnecting all the sections we removed, take this time to test all the lights we have installed so far and to ensure everything is properly connected. Connect the USB Cable to your USB power bank and ensure all lights are working OK.

47.) We can now start reconnecting all the sections we removed earlier. Follow the below images to reconnect sections in order.

This finally completes installation of your LEGO Sydney Opera House Lighting Kit. You can now position your USB power Bank behind, connect the USB Power Bank, and ENJOY!

Package contents:

  • 50x White 15cm Bit Lights (48 required, includes 1-2 extra)
  • 6x White Strip Lights
  • 6x LEGO Plates 1×6
  • 2x Multi-Colour Changing Light Strings
  • 5x 12 Port Expansion Boards
  • 8x 5cm Connecting Cables
  • 2x 15cm Connecting Cables
  • 10x Adhesive Squares
  • 1x AA Battery Pack

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.

Installing Bit Lights under LEGO® bricks and plates.

When installing Bit Lights under LEGO® pieces, ensure they are placed the correct way up (Yellow LED component exposed). You can either place them directly on top of LEGO® studs or in between.

OK, Let’s Begin!

Instructions for installing this kit

1.) All of the lights will be installed to the top of the Carousel. In order to get inside, follow the below images to remove the sections of roof off the carousel:

2.) The first lights we will install will be the 2x Multi-Colour Changing Light Strings. Take one of the light strings and then thread the top of it through the side of one of the the black technic bricks (through the second hole closest to the front).

Continue threading the light string all around the carousel through the holes (second hole closest to the front) of the black technic bricks until you get about half way around.

After threading the first Light String about half way, secure it in place by bending the tip up and then threading back around through the next hole of the black technic brick.

You may have a fair bit of excess light string on the opposite side (connector side). To secure this section in place, pull the end of the light string the opposite way and then thread the light string around and through the 3rd and 4th holes along the black technic brick as per below.

3.) Take a 12-Port Expansion board and connect the light string to the first available port.

4.) Take the second Multi Colour Changing Light String and then thread the top through the same hole we started the first Light String except in the opposite direction.

Continue threading this light string right around the carousel (using the same method we used for the first light string) until you reach the end of the first light string.

Thread the other end of the second light string through the following hole and then pull all the way through and connect to the next available port on the 12-port Expansion Board.

5.) We will now secure the 12-port Expansion Board. Take 2x Adhesive squares and stick them to the back of the expansion board and then mount it to the following position on top of the Carousel.

6.) Take this time to test to ensure the two light strings we have installed so far are working ok when winding the carousel around. Take the AA Battery Pack or USB Cable 30cm and connect it to any of the ports on the expansion board. Turn on the Battery Pack (or Connect the USB Cable to your USB Power Bank). Wind the carousel around and around and ensure the Light Strings are not getting caught with the different animal’s poles.

7.) Take a White Strip Light and then carefully peel off the adhesive backing to allow you to stick onto the base of a provided LEGO 1×6 Plate. Connect a 5cm Connecting Cable to the right port.

Connect the other end of the connecting cable to another White Strip Light (first stick onto LEGO 1×6 Plate).

Continue this process to connect 6x White Strip Lights (using total of five 5cm connecting cables)

Take one more 5cm connecting cable and connect it to the end of one of the White Strip Lights.

8.) Take all 6 Strip Lights over the top of the Carousel and then connect the other end of the 5cm connecting cable to the port on the expansion board second from the left.

Thread all of the strip lights down the spacing which leads below.

9.) Mount the first Strip Light to the top of the Carousel in the following position.

Mount the second strip light to the next section on the right to the following position.

Ensure you mount the strip lights to the exact same position as above

Continue to mount the next 4 strip lights around the top of the carousel ensuring you position them exactly as shown in the below images.

Once all 6 Strip Lights are installed, test that all lights are working OK by connecting back your Battery Pack (or USB cable) to a spare port on the expansion board and turn ‘ON’.

10.) We will now connect lights all around the top of the carousel starting with the first section closest to the 12-port expansion board. First remove the following sections from the top and bottom as per below:

11.) Disconnect the trans yellow LEGO pieces and then take 4x White 15cm Bit Lights and install them by placing them directly over the LEGO studs and then reconnecting the trans yellow LEGO pieces over the top of them to secure them in place. Ensure the cable for each bit light is facing toward the back of the LEGO piece the way you would be reconnecting them.

12.) Reconnect the pieces (with bit lights installed) back to the top of the Carousel ensuring the cable is facing behind.

For the bottom bit lights, thread each cable up the space behind and then pull up from the top.

Connect all 4 cables to the next available ports on the 12-port Expansion board.

13.) We will now move onto connecting lights to the next section to the left. Disconnect top and bottom pieces and then repeat steps 11 and 12 to install another 4x White 15cm Bit Lights.

Ensure you thread the bottom cables up to the top and then connect all 4 cables into the next available ports on the 12-port expansion board keeping the far left port free.

Test that all lights are working OK by connecting back your Battery Pack (or USB cable) to a spare port on the expansion board.

14.) Take a 15cm Connecting Cable and then connect it to the far left port on the 12 port expansion board. Connect the other end of the cable to another 12 Port Expansion board then mount the expansion board to the following position using 2x adhesive squares.

15.) We will now install lights to the next 2 sections to the left. Using the same method we used for the previous lights, install lights to the next 2 sections (8x White 15cm Bit Lights).

Remember to thread the bottom light cables up through to the top

Connect all 8 Bit Light cables to the first available ports on the 12-Port Expansion board (from right to left).

16.) Take a 5cm Connecting Cable and connect it to the far left port on the expansion board and then connect the other end to a new 12-port Expansion Board and then mount to the following position using another 2x adhesive squares.

17.) Move onto the next 2 sections and install another 8x White 15cm Bit Lights to these sections before reconnecting them to the top.

17.) Take the 2 lights from the right of the right section of lights and connect them to the remaining 2 ports on the 12-port expansion board to the right.

Connect the remaining 6 lights to the first few ports on the new 12-port expansion board we mounted in step 16.

Test that all lights are working OK by connecting back your Battery Pack (or USB cable) to a spare port on the expansion board.

18.) Move onto the next section of lights on the left and install another 4x White 15cm Bit Lights.

Remember to thread the bottom cables up through to the top.

Connect the 4 cables to the next ports along the 12-port expansion board.

19.) Take a 15cm Connecting Cable and then connect it to the remaining port on the 12 port expansion board. Connect the other end of the cable to a new 12 Port Expansion board then mount the expansion board to the following position using 2x adhesive squares.

20.) Take another 8x White 15cm Bit Lights to install lights to the next 2 sections to the left using the same method we used for previous lights.

Connect all 8 Bit Light cables to the first remaining ports on the new 12-port Expansion Board and then test that all lights are working OK by connecting back your Battery Pack (or USB cable) to a spare port on the expansion board.

21.) Take a 5cm Connecting Cable and then connect it to the far left port on the 12 port expansion board. Connect the other end of the cable to the last remaining 12 Port Expansion board then mount the expansion board to the following position using 2x adhesive squares.

22.) We will now install lights to the 3 remaining sections of the carousel roof. Take the remaining 12x White 15cm Bit Lights and install them to these sections using the same method as we did for previous lights.

First connect the 2 lights from the right section (top and bottom) to the remaining 2 ports on the 12-port expansion board towards the right.

Then connect the remaining 10x Bit Light cables to the last 12-port expansion board.

This completes the installation of lights to the top of the carousel. Yours should look like the below. Don’t be too concerned with the messy cabling as this will all be covered by the carousel roof top.

23.) Take the USB cable or AA Battery Pack and then connect it to the remaining port on the expansion board below. Position your Battery Pack/USB power Bank on top.

24.) Replace the yellow roof top pieces and white pole sections as per below.

Locate where the Battery Pack/USB power cable are and then lift up the flap. Connect up the power bank/AA Battery Pack and place inside before reconnecting the top centre flag piece and remaining white pole sections.

You can leave one of the white pole sections closest to the Battery Pack/USB power bank disconnected to allow for easy powering on/off.

This finally completes installation of the Light My Bricks LEGO Carousel Lighting Kit.

ENJOY!
