Important things to note:
Laying cables in between and underneath bricks
Cables can fit in between and underneath LEGO® bricks, plates, and tiles providing they are laid correctly between the LEGO® studs. Do NOT forcefully join LEGO® together around cables; instead ensure they are laying comfortably in between each stud.
Connecting cable connectors to Expansion Boards
Take extra care when inserting connectors to ports of Expansion Boards. Connectors can be inserted only one way. With the expansion board facing up, look for the soldered “=” symbol on the left side of the port. The connector side with the wires exposed should be facing toward the soldered “=” symbol as you insert into the port. If a plug won’t fit easily into a port connector, do not force it.
Connecting cable connectors to Strip Lights
Take extra care when inserting connectors to ports on the Strip Lights. Connectors can be inserted only one way. With the Strip Light facing up, ensure the side of the connector with the wires exposed is facing down. If a plug won’t fit easily into a port connector, don’t force it. Doing so will damage the plug and the connector.
Connecting Micro Cable connectors to Micro Expansion Board Ports
Take extra care when inserting the micro connectors to micro ports of Micro Expansion Boards. Connecting Micro Bit Lights to Micro Expansion Boards is similar to connecting lights and cables to Strip Lights. With the expansion board facing up, ensure the side of the connector with the wires exposed is facing down. If a plug won’t fit easily into a port connector, do not force it. Use your fingernail to push the plastic part of the connector to the micro port.
Installing Bit Lights under LEGO® bricks and plates.
When installing Bit Lights under LEGO® pieces, ensure they are placed the correct way up (Yellow LED component exposed). You can either place them directly on top of LEGO® studs or in between.
OK, Let’s Begin!
1.) 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. Connect the USB Connector to a USB Power Bank or wall adaptor (sold separately) and turn it ON to test the headlight 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. Reconnect the plate above the headlight, then disconnect the USB Power Cable from the expansion board. Eliminate excess cable by folding and twisting the cable around itself a few times into a neat bunch. 3.) We will now install the front indicator lights. First disconnect both of these sections and disassemble them as shown below: Take one of the grey sections and place it onto it’s side with the handle on the bottom. Take a White 15cm Micro Bit Light and place the led inside the plate. Ensure the cable is facing down and the LED is facing the correct side up. Secure the Micro Bit Light in place by reconnecting the trans orange round plate. Thread the cable through the space in between the handle bar and plate, then pull the cable all the way out from behind. Repeat this step to install another White 15cm Micro Bit Light to the other indicator light.
4.) Reconnect the right indicator light, then thread the cable up the technic brick hole to the right of it. Pull the cable all the way out from the top then from the other side of the vehicle, wind the cable around the handle bar. Thread the cable down the following technic brick hole in the centre of the bike, then connect it to a Micro 4-Port Expansion Board.
Reconnect the left indicator light section, then thread the cable up the hole toward the left. Pull the cable all the way out, then from the left side of the bike, thread the cable around the handle bars as shown below to then connect to the Micro 4-Port Expansion Board.
5.) Connect the USB Power Cable and to the Expansion Board’s larger port and turn ON the USB Power Bank to test the indicator lights are working OK.
Disconnect the USB Power Cable from the Micro Expansion Board and connect a 5cm Connecting Cable to the large port instead. Connect the other end of the cable to a spare port on the 6-Port Expansion Board below.
6.) We will now install the rear indicator lights. Disconnect each indicator section and disassemble them as shown below:
Take a White 30cm Micro Bit Light and with the lego pin facing the same way as the connector side of the cable, place the LED inside the grey plate. Secure the Micro Bit Light in place by reconnecting the trans orange round plate over the top.
Repeat this step to install another White 30cm Micro Bit Light to the other rear light section.
7.) Follow the below images to disconnect sections surrounding the back of the Harley.
Reconnect the rear right indicator section, then from the right side of the vehicle, thread the cable up behind the grey technic piece. Pull the cable up, then disconnect the dark red section above. Bring the cable over to the other side and lay it in between studs before reconnecting the dark red section.
Reconnect the rear left light section, then from the left side of the vehicle, thread the cable up behind the grey technic piece. Disconnect the following plate above, then lay the cable toward the centre, in between studs. Reconnect the plate over the cable.
8.) Group the two rear light cables together, then thread them down the space at the front of the rear wheel. From the left side of the vehicle, pull the cables out the space just above the bike chain. Pull the cables all the way out.
Disconnect the following black section to the left of the cables, then disconnect the Harley Davidson fuel tank section.
9.) Take the two rear indicator light cables and connect them to the Micro Expansion Board at the front. Take the USB Power Cable and connect it to the 6-Port Expansion Board, then turn the power bank ON to test the rear indicator lights are working OK.
