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 result in bent pins inside the port or possible overheating of the component when connected.
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.
Instructions for installing this kit
The Big Bang Theory set can have a variety of configurations depending on how you choose to seat your characters and other movable items. There should be little or no impact as you install the LED lighting kit, but make adjustments as necessary. Your set does not have to be configured the same as our set to enjoy the effects of this LED lighting kit.
Remove the light from the left hand side of the back wall.
Remove the light from the right hand side of the front wall. The steps below show details for one light. Follow the steps for both lights.
Disconnect the transparent yellow cone piece from the black tap piece.
Grab a WhiteBit Light and feed the plug end through the large end of the transparent yellow cone piece.
Pull the wires all the way through until the LED is inside the transparent yellow cone piece.
Bend the wire so that it comes out the the transparent yellow cone piece at a right angle. Line up the black tap piece to insert back into the transparent yellow cone piece. Have the large round end facing the same way as the wire coming out of the transparent yellow cone piece. In the photos, you can see that they are both facing right.
Very slowly, join the transparent yellow cone piece and the black tap piece back together. It is a tight fit and doing this slowly will prevent damage to the wires.
Put the lights aside for now.
Remove the green lantern from the bookshelf behind the couch.
Remove the green tap piece from the top of the lantern and the transparent green round plate from the front of the lantern.
Grab a WhiteBit Light and feed the plug end through the square opening of the green headlight piece. Get it to exit the green headlight piece through the round opening. Sometimes we need to bend the wires slightly near the plug end of the wire to get it to feed through.
As you continue to pull the LED wire through, try to arrange it so that the yellow LED component is mostly facing outwards from the brick. If it is facing inwards, you may not get the best lighting effect for this piece.
Replace the transparent green round plate on the front of the lantern. With the wires running towards the back and away from the transparent green round plate, replace the green tap piece on top of the lantern. Do this slowly as there are wires running between these two pieces.
Put the green lantern aside for now.
Remove the plasma ball from the bookshelf behind the couch.
Remove the transparent clear top piece and the black 1 x 1 round plate.
Put the black 1 x 1 round plate aside as we won’t be using it in this model anymore.
Grab a White Bit Light and feed the plug end through the top of the black 1 x 1 round brick.
Pull the wires through until the LED component is sitting face up on top of the black 1 x 1 round brick. Replace the transparent clear top piece.
Put the plasma ball aside for now.
Remove the lava lamp from the bookshelf on the right hand side of the door.
Disconnect the transparent red cone piece from the black round plate.
Grab a WhiteBit Light and rest the LED component end inside the transparent red cone piece.
Very slowly, join the transparent red cone piece and the black round plate back together. It is a tight fit and doing this slowly will prevent damage to the wires.
Put the lava lamp aside for now.
Remove the coffee table with the lamp on it.
Remove the lampshade and the lamp stem from the table.
Grab a WhiteBit Light and feed the LED component end up through the bottom of the round 2 x 2 brick under the table.
Run enough wire through so that you can rest the LED inside the lampshade with the yellow LED component facing the top of the lampshade.
Very slowly, join the stem of the lamp shade and the lamp back together. It is a tight fit and doing this slowly will prevent damage to the wires.
Replace the lamp back on the table. Pull the wires back through the table leaving a little bit of slack between the lampshade and the table.
Place the coffee table back into your desired position in the living room. Keep the wires from the bottom of the coffee table running towards the back wall.
Open the cupboard door, wrap your finger inside the door frame and slowly lift so that the door assembly comes away from the floor. I have my thumb pressed into the floor for what I find to be a more controlled separation.
The gap only needs to be large enough to fit the plug end of the WhiteBit Light wire through. Expect other bricks to separate as can be easily seen when you look at the back of the model.
Run the plug end of the WhiteBit Light from the base of the coffee table underneath the door and the plate underneath the door.
Run the wires flat along the floor (for neatness) and make sure that the wire under the door is running in the middle of two studs. Push the door and loose bricks back down.
Turn the model around again and remove all the tiles from the top of the back wall.
Grab the top two rows of bricks from the left and wiggle and lift them up. Don’t worry if you don’t get them all (like me!). We are mainly concerned with the second row of bricks behind the light and the bookshelf items we removed earlier.
Grab one of the wall lights and refit it to the back wall, running the wires over the back of the wall.
Grab the green lantern and replace it on the bookshelf, running the wires over the back of the wall.
Grab the plasma ball and replace it on the bookshelf, running the wires over the back of the wall.
Remove the 1 x 8 tan brick from the top row of bricks on the right hand side of the door. Remove the 1 x 3 tan brick from the second row of bricks behind the blue man statue.
Grab the lava lamp and replace it on the bookshelf, running the wires over the back of the wall.
Make sure the lava lamp wires are running in between brick studs and replace the 1 x 3 tan brick to the second row of bricks behind the blue man statue. Replace the 1 x 8 tan brick to the top row of bricks on the right hand side of the door.
Find the top two rows of bricks that you removed from the left side of the model. Detach the 1 x 3 tan brick from the second row of bricks.
Make sure the wires from the wall light is running in between brick studs and then replace the 1 x 3 tan brick.
Find what’s left of the top two rows of bricks that you removed from the left side of the model. Detach the 1 x 8 tan brick from the second row of bricks. Make sure the wires from the green lantern and the plasma ball are running in between brick studs and then replace the 1 x 8 tan brick.
This will leave you with two 1 x 8 tan bricks from the bricks you removed from the left side of the model.
Replace the 1 x 8 tan bricks to the top row of bricks on the rear wall.
Bring your attention to the front right of the model where the other wall light was located.
Pinch the second row of bricks down on the outer wall column and left them up.
The brick across the walkway and top tiles will probably come off as well. This is ok.
Grab the remaining wall light and refit it to the front wall, running the wires over the back of the wall as seen in the picture.
Replace the top of the outer wall column and any other pieces that came off when you removed it.
Remove the 1 x 4 and 1 x 8 tan tiles that run from the front to the back of the model.
Grab the wire from the wall light and wrap it around the two studs on top of the wall as seen in the picture.
Replace the 1 x 4 tan tile.
Continue to wrap the wires around each pair of studs as you run it towards the back of the model. Replace the 1 x 8 tan tile.
Replace the tiles along the back wall.
The last tile will have the wire from the front lamp running under the end of it.
When you turn your model around, it will look something like the picture above.
Grab the 8 Port Expansion Board and plug the bit lights into it.
Grab your battery pack and connect it to an available slot on the 8 Port Expansion Board.
Congratulations! You’re done. Turn it on and enjoy the show!
Optional: Tidying up the rear of the model.
The wires can be easily hidden from view at the back of the model. But if yours is visible from the side, you may want to tidy things up back there.
Below are some images of what I did with spare Lego pieces from my collection. Feel free to follow something similar or if you have a better idea, please share it with us!
Guess what? One of our customers did come up with a better idea and shared it with us! He made a section underneath the model with a cavity to hold the battery pack and wires. Here’s what my version looks like made with mostly spare parts.
The base structure is 28 x 16 studs, which is the same as the model. The sides are 2 bricks and 2 plates tall, which is the minimum height to hold the AA battery pack.
You’ll notice a gap in the base of the structure. This is so the On/Off switch is accessible when the battery pack is enclosed.
The battery pack is a fraction too wide to fit comfortably in an enclosed space that is 6 studs wide. So, down the left hand side of the battery, I have a row of plates to stop the battery pack moving sideways.
Place the Big Bang model on top of the base level. Put the 8 port expansion board, battery and as much wire as you can underneath. Spend some time feeding the wires through so that there is little excess wire left. Remember to feed them in between the brick studs and carefully join the Big Bang base to the bottom section.
I found that the battery was still a bit loose so I removed a piece of the bottom section and ran another row of plates along the top side next to the battery (on the left in the photo). Now there are a row of plates along the bottom and along the top of the left side of the battery.

OK, Let’s Begin!
Instructions for installing this kit
1.) Let’s start by removing the roof of the car.
2.) We will be installing lights to the headlights first. To do this, remove the following pieces from the front of the car.
Continue to remove the following pieces which make up the windscreen, side windows, and grey triangular tiles from the sides of the car.
4.) Remove the front section with the grill and number plate attached, followed by the 2 Lego 2×4 plates with light pieces attached.
5.) Remove the 2 grey round pieces as well as the transparent round pieces connected to them.
Take 1 standard Bit Light (non flashing) and place it on top of the stud of the grey round plate ensuring the LED component part is facing the correct way up. Secure the LED in place by connecting the transparent Lego plate over the top.
Install the remaining LEDs to all front headlights (2 on each side) using the above process so that we have a total of 4 standard Bit lights installed. Reconnect the light pieces back to the 2 Lego 2×4 plates ensuring that the cables from the LEDs are facing upward and then reconnect the plates back to the front of the car.
Reconnect the front middle section with the grill and number plate attached.
6.) Before reconnecting the white Lego pieces which make up the front bonnet, ensure that the cables from the LEDs are laid in between the studs of the Lego plates underneath as per below example images.
7.) Hide 2 cables from the lights on the left side of the car (looking from the front) up the left side by laying them in between the white studs and then reconnecting the grey triangular plates over the top of them.
8.) Before we hide the 2 cables from the right we will first install an LED to the blue light at the right side window. To do this, remove this section at the grey stud with clip.
Take another standard Bit Light (non flashing) and install it with the LED component part facing down (as it wont connect with it facing up). Secure this into place by connecting another transparent blue plate (which we have provided) over the top.
Ensure the LED component part is facing down or inward
Reconnect this section back to the side of the car ensuring the cable from the LED is on the inside facing the car.
9.) Take the cable from the LED we just installed and the 2 cables from the front right lights and hide them in between studs up the right side of the car by reconnecting the grey triangular plates over the top of them.
10.) We will now install 2 LEDs to the tail lights. Turn the car to the back and remove the back window and white back section of the car. The back section should remove in one piece.
Remove the transparent red cone pieces from each side of the car. Take a standard Bit light(non flashing) and place it over the top of the red stud on the side of the car ensuring the LED component part is facing the correct way up. Secure the LED in place by reconnecting the transparent red piece over the top of it. Ensure the cable from the LED is facing toward the middle so that we can hide it behind the back piece we removed earlier.
Repeat this step for the tail light on the other side using another standard Bit Light. Reconnect the back piece with the ghostbusters logo on it and ensure the cables from the LEDs are hidden behind.
11.) It’s time to neaten up all the cabling from the LEDs we have installed so far. Take the 5 cables from the front lights and twist/wind them around each other starting from the base working your way up. They should all come together neatly.
Repeat this step for the cables from the tail lights, twisting/winding them around each other. We should now have 2 groups of cables.
12.) Connect the cables from the tail lights into one of the 12-port expansion boards (expansion board#1) by first winding them around the board before connecting them into the first 2 available ports. We are winding them around the board so that we don’t have too much excess cabling to have to hide later on.
13.) Take the battery pack and insert the 2x CR2032 batteries. Connect the battery pack cable into the next available port on the expansion board.
14.) Connect the cables from the front lights into the next available ports of the expansion board then tuck the cabling underneath the expansion board in the back seat section of the car.
Reconnect the back window.
We can now take the time to test the lights we have installed so far by simply turning the battery pack switch to “ON” and verifying all is OK!
Reconnect the side windows.
15.) We will now install lights to the roof of the car. The roof is made up of 3 white base plates, front, middle and back. Start by removing the back section, followed by the grey 2×6 plate with blue light pieces connected to it.
Remove the following pieces from the 2×6 plate and then connect one of the provided grey 1×2 Lego plates on each side as per below.
16.) Take 1 flashing Bit light and place it on top of the grey stud closest to the outside of the plate ensuring the LED component part is facing the correct way up. Secure this in place by connecting one of the provided transparent blue 1×2 plates over the top. Repeat this for the light on the other side ensuring the LED is installed to the stud closest to the outside and the LED component is facing the correct way up.
Reconnect the transparent blue triangular plates we removed earlier on top of the additional plates we just installed.
17.) We will now install flasing LEDs to the blue spot lights at the front. Remove the grey plates with clips from the pole and then disconnect the round blue pieces from them.
Note: This may be a little tricky and you may need to use the Lego removal tool for the blue pieces.
Locate 2 of the provided grey plates with clips as we will be replacing the original ones with these. Take another 2 flashing Bit Lights and install them by placing them over the studs and connecting the blue transparent round pieces over the top.
Reconnect these 2 plates to the pole and then reconnect them to the rest of the roof section.
It is important to ensure that the cabling for the 4 lights are facing down and behind the pole.
18.) Reconnect the 2×6 plate to the rest of the roof, without the white plate underneath. Then remove the red light with white stud underneath so we can install another flashing Bit Light to it.
Take another flashing Bit light and install it to this section ensuring that the LED is laid over the white stud and secured down by reconnecting the red piece over the top.
Reconnect this section to the roof of the car ensuring the cable from the LED is threaded behind the black pole and down the middle in between the grey and white plates.
19.) Take all the cables and lay them down the middle of the middle white plate before reconnecting the back white plate underneath.
Secure the 2 white base plates of the roof by connecting the provided white 1×6 plates on each side as per below. We will not be reconnecting the original 2 round black pieces so you can discard these.
20.) Take the 5 cables from the back lights and twist/wind them around each other (like we did for the front and tail lights) so they all come together neatly.
21.) Turn the roof around to the front and remove the following sections:
– the front roof section
– the white 4×4 plate with the clear light piece attached
– the grey pole with red and grey light pieces attached.
22.) Take the white 4×4 plate with pieces attached and disassemble the pieces as we will be replacing the 2 grey pieces.
Note: This may be a little tricky and you may need to use the Lego removal tool for the red and grey round pieces.
Take one of the provided grey Lego pieces with clip and place 1 standard Bit Light (non flashing) on top of the stud. Secure the LED in place by connecting the transparent red round piece over the top ensuring that the LED component part is facing the correct way up.
Ensure the cable from the LED is facing the same way the clip underneath is facing
Reconnect the round grey Lego piece to another provided Lego piece with clip then re-attach the 2 pieces back to the pole before then reconnecting this back to the roof. Ensure that the cable from the red LED is hidden behind the pole.
23.) Take another standard Bit Light and place it in the middle of the white 4×4 plate (in between the studs). Reconnect the clear round Lego light pieces over the top to secure the LED in place. Reconnect this section back to the roof of the car ensuring the cable from the LED is facing forward.
24.) Take the front section of the roof and remove the white roof plate from underneath, then remove the transparent blue triangular pieces, followed by the grey pole with attached light pieces.
Connect the 2 provided 2×2 grey Lego plates in the following positions.
Install 2 flashing Bit lights to this section by placing them over the top of studs on each side (furthest away) and connecting the provided 2×2 transparent blue plates over the top, same way as we did for the back flashing lights. Ensure the cables from the 2 LEDs are facing toward the front, then reconnect the triangular pieces over the top.
25.) Take the front grey pole with attached lights and disassemble all the pieces as we will be replacing the grey pieces with new pieces (with different clips).
Note: This may be a little tricky and you may need to use the Lego removal tool for the blue round pieces.
Install the final 2 flashing Bit Lights to this section by placing them over the studs of the provided grey pieces (with clips) and connecting the transparent blue pieces over the top. Ensure the cables are facing the same way as the clips, then reconnect this section back to the roof.
26.) Reconnect the grey 2×6 plate back to the white roof piece ensuring all cables are facing toward the back and hidden behind the grey pole as per below. Reconnect the front roof section to the middle roof section. You may find that this may not connect securely. This is OK as we will be securing the roof sections with extra Lego pieces in the next step.
27.) Take the 2 provided Lego 1×6 white pieces and connect them underneath the roof securing the front and middle roof sections together.
27.) Turn the roof on its side to allow you to then group all the cables from the front roof LEDs. Twist/wind them around each other, same way we did for the rest of the light cables.
28.) Take the 2 groups of cables from the roof lights and loop them around so that we do not have too much excess cabling. Use some tape to tape the cables together to prevent them from unwinding.
29.) Take another expansion board (expansion board#2) and connect the first group of 6 lights from the front section of the roof to the first available ports on the expansion board.
Connect the other group of lights from the back section of the roof to the next available ports on the expansion board#2.
30.) Take the 5cmconnecting cable from the kit and connect it to the last available port on expansion board#2.
Connect the other end of the 5cm cable to a spare port on expansion board#1.
31.) Tuck all the cables down below and then re-position the battery pack so that the switch is facing toward the back. Place the battery pack over the top of all the components and then reconnect the roof section.
This now completes installation of the LED lighting kit.
To turn the lights on, simply lift up the roof section (from the back) and turn the battery pack switch to “ON”.
Your Lego Ghostbusters Ecto 1 has now come “alive”!

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 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.

Instructions for installing this kit
Start with the front of the Millennium Falcon facing you and remove the cone pieces around the cockpit.
Remove the front right section by holding it and pulling it to the right, away from the centre of the Millennium Falcon. This section is attached with technic pins so give it a wiggle if it isn’t coming off easily.
Remove the front left section by holding it and pulling it to the left, away from the centre of the Millennium Falcon. This section is attached with technic pins so give it a wiggle if it isn’t coming off easily.
We are going to install a White Bit Light in the front of each of the sections we just removed. Below are the steps for the right hand side section. Repeat these steps for the left hand side.
From the back, gently pry the dark grey wedge plate up and off the section. Let the round plate with the hole in it and the red 1 x 2 tile come away with it. Put these pieces to the side.
Working down the right side, remove the light grey wedge plate. Allow the round plate with the hole in it to come away with it. Put these pieces to the side as well.
Still working down the right hand side, remove the remaining light grey wedge plate. Let the 1 x 2 grille plate come away with it. Pop these pieces to the side with the others.
There is a 1 x 2 dark grey grille brick that is now accessible. Remove it.
Remove the front 1 x 2 modified plate with the transparent red piece attached to it. Remove the transparent red piece.
It’s time to put this transparent red piece aside and replace it with a Lego Trans Red 1 x 1 Round Plate.
Grab one of the White Bit Lights and rest it over the stud on the 1 x 2 modified plate. Position it so that the wire comes down from the middle similar to that in the picture above. Gently place the Lego Trans Red 1 x 1 Round Plate over the White Bit Light.
Pick up the plug end of the White Bit Light and feed it through the hole in the 1 x 1 modified brick with headlight (that had the 1 x 2 brick with grille behind it).
As you pull the wire through and the modified 1 x 2 plate with the White Bit Light gets closer to the 1 x 1 headlight bricks, keep the wire on the underside of the 1 x 2 modified plate with the White Bit Light on it. Gently put the 1 x 2 modified plate back in position.
Feed the plug end of the White Bit Light underneath the 1 x 2 dark grey plate. There is a technic brick under there with a hole in it that the plug fits through.
Remove the 2 x 3 tan plate and run the wire across the point where the 1 x 2 black brick and the 1 x 2 dark grey brick corners touch.
Replace the 2 x 3 tan plate and run the wire straight out along the side of the 2 x 2 dark grey plate that sits on the black brick.
Replace the dark grey wedge plate with the round plate with the hole in it and the red 1 x 2 tile.
Replace the light grey wedge plate with the round piece with the hole in it.
Replace the 1 x 2 dark grey grille brick with the horizontal grille lines facing towards the wire.
Replace the last light grey wedge with 1 x 2 grille plate on it.
Repeat the above for the left section.
Find the Lego Trans Clear 1 x 1 Round Plates and have them ready. Grab a Blue Bit Light and position it on top of the stud as seen in the photo above. Keep the wires facing roughly towards the back.
Gently place the Lego Trans Clear 1 x 1 Round Plate over the Blue Bit Light.
Grab the other Blue Bit Light and position is over the stud as seen in the picture. Keep the wires pointing out to the right and gently place the Lego Trans Clear 1 x 1 Round Plate over the Blue Bit Light.
Run the wire from the Blue Bit Light on the left around the back of Rey (or whoever you have in the pilot seat!) so both wires are running out to the right of the cockpit.
Pick up the left hand side front section. Make sure the wire runs out the back and then down. Reattach the front section.
Reattach the right hand side section, also keeping the wire running out the back and then down.
Replace the cone pieces around the cockpit.
Flip the Millennium Falcon up and let it rest on it’s end so you can access the bottom of the ship.
There are three wires on the left hand side of the ship. Grab the plug end of one of them and feed it through the hole in side of the long light grey technic brick.
Repeat the process for the other two wires and pull them through so that there is still a little slack in the wire before it goes through the technic hole (it doesn’t need to be pulled tight).
There is one wire on the right hand side of the ship. Grab the plug end and feed it through the hole in side of the long light grey technic brick.
Remove the 1 x 12 light grey plate that runs horizontally across the ship, just under where your wires are fed through the holes in the technic brick. Spread the wires out and run them downwards. Hold the 1 x 12 grey plate so that there is a gap between it and the brick in the middle that the wires will run in between. Make sure the wires run in between the studs of the 1 x 12 grey plate. Lock the 1 x 12 light grey plate back into position.
Grab the 12 Port Expansion Board and connect the plug ends of the four Bit Lights. The 12 Port Expansion Board can rest in the cavity under the ship near where it is or it can hang freely. Just remember that it is there so we don’t damage as we work on other parts of the ship.
Place the Millennium Falcon back on its feet in front of you where you can easily access the gun turret on top of the ship.
Remove the gun turret from the turntable piece on top of the Millennium Falcon.
Remove the cone pieces with the technic pin pieces in them from the bracket piece.
Grab the four Lego Light Grey 1 x 1 Round Bricks.
The Lego Light Grey 1 x 1 Round Bricks are going have a Flashing White Bit Light inside each of them and then be placed on the bracket piece where the cone pieces were.
When fitting the Flashing White Bit Lights, make sure the yellow LED element is facing inside the round brick so when it is turned on, the light will shine out the smaller end of the round brick. Place a Flashing White Bit Light just inside the larger end of the Lego Light Grey 1 x 1 Round Brick. Bend the wires similar to that shown in the picture above to make fitting easier. Fix the Lego Light Grey 1 x 1 Round Brick to the bracket piece where a cone piece was.
Try to run the wires towards the middle of the bracket piece. We want to run them together along the top of the gun turret.
Attach the remaining Lego Light Grey 1 x 1 Round Bricks with Flashing White Bit Lights inside them.
Find the Lego Light Grey 1 x 2 Technic Brick and feed the plug end of the cables through the hole in the centre of the brick.
Pull the wires through and then attach the Lego Light Grey 1 x 2 Technic Brick to the piece immediately behind the hinge piece that has bracket piece attached to it.
Find the second (any colour) Lego 1 x 2 Technic Brick and feed the plug ends of the wires through the hole in the centre of it.
What you have now may look something like the picture above.
Reattach the gun turret to the turntable piece on top of the Millennium Falcon.
Lift the large round Lego piece (hatch) under the gun turret to reveal the gunner’s compartment. Attach the second (any colour) Lego 1 x 2 Technic Brick to the 2 x 6 light grey plate on the underside of the hatch.
Lower the wires in to the gunner’s compartment and close the top hatch.
Flip the Millennium Falcon on to it’s side so that you can access the bottom of the ship. Remove the large round Lego piece (hatch) that the bottom gun turret is mounted to.
Pull the Flashing White Bit Light wires through the bottom of the gunner’s compartment. There is a square 6 x 8 technic piece surrounding the bottom of the gunner’s compartment. Feed the Flashing White Bit Light wires through the available centre hole in the side of this piece that faces towards the front of the ship. This will feed them into the cavity where the 12 Port Expansion Board is.
Plug the Flashing White Bit Light wires into the 12 Port Expansion Board. Leave the gun turret hatch removed for now as we will be working in this area again soon.
Stand the Millennium Falcon upright again. Grab the Lego Trans Red Lightsaber Bars and fit them to the Lego Light Grey 1 x 1 Round Bricks. You don’t need to push them all the way in. Remember, there is a Flashing White Bit Light in each one, so push them in gently.
GREAT! Your plain grey guns are now light up laser cannons!
You are ready to move on to the rest of the kit……….
Turn the Millennium Falcon around so that the back section is facing you.
Remove the blue bricks with the dark grey round plates on top of them at either end of the long transparent light blue hose.
Remove the 1 x 6 light grey tile and the bricks attached to the tile (they should all come off together) from the three sections above where the hose was.
Grab two Strip Lights and a 5cm Connecting Cable.
Connect the two Strip Lights using the 5cm Connecting Cable.
Peel the backing off the Strip Lights and in the middle of the joins of each section that had the 1 x 6 tiles (and joined bricks) prepare to stick the Strip Lights on. With the middle of the Strip Light in the centre of the join of each section, there will be enough of the sticky part on the back of the Strip Light to stick to two studs on both sections. Push them against the studs so they stick. They just need to be held here for now as the hose will also keep them in place permanently.
Both light strips stuck on should resemble the picture above.
Grab the 30cm Extension Cable and plug it in to the plug on the right hand side of the Strip Light on the right. Run the cable to the right and then down in between the next section.
Replace the two blue bricks attached to either end of the transparent light blue hose. The hose will need to sit a little further down the technic pin because it now needs to go over the Strip Lights.
Replace the 1 x 6 light grey tile with the bricks attached to the three sections above where the hose is.
Get all the items together from the photo above; three Lego Light Grey 1 x 6 Plates, four Lego Light Grey 1 x 1 Plates, three Strip Lights and two 5cm Connecting Cables.
Put one of the Lego Light Grey 1 x 1 Plates on each end of two of the Lego Light Grey 1 x 6 Plates.
Peel the adhesive backing off the Strip Lights and stick them to the back of each of the Lego Light Grey 1 x 6 Plates.
Put the Lego Light Grey 1 x 6 Plates that does not have Lego Light Grey 1 x 1 Plates attached to it in the middle of the other two. Connect the three Strip Lights together with the two 5cm Connecting Cables.
Open up the Millennium Falcon and give yourself clear access to where Han Solo sits (when he’s not in the cockpit!).
Get the Strip Lights ready. We are going to mount the centre one first.
Directly above the console where Han Solo sits, there is a ledge that the Lego Light Grey 1 x 6 Plate can attach to.
Follow the round edge of the dark grey round corner plate around to the right. Attach the Lego Light Grey 1 x 1 Plate (that is attached to the Lego Light Grey 1 x 6 Plate) to the corner of the dark grey round corner plate.
The Lego Light Grey 1 x 1 Plate on other end of the Lego Light Grey 1 x 6 Plate will attach to the corner of another dark grey round corner plate.
From where Han is sitting, follow the round edge of the dark grey round corner plate around to the left. Attach the Lego Light Grey 1 x 1 Plate (that is attached to the Lego Light Grey 1 x 6 Plate) to the corner of the dark grey round corner plate.
The Lego Light Grey 1 x 1 Plate on other end of the Lego Light Grey 1 x 6 Plate will attach to the corner of another dark grey round corner plate.
Grab the 15cm connecting cable. We are going to use it to connect the Strip Lights to the 12 Port Expansion Board. With the ship facing away from you, locate the Strip Light on the left hand side. The available port on the Strip Light will be sitting above a wrench mounted on the wall.
In the floor beneath the Strip Light is the hidden storage compartment. Lift the compartment hatch and pull it out of the clips that it is attached to.
Connect the 15cm Connecting Cable to the Strip Light. Run the 15cm Connecting Cable around the back of the wrench clipped to the wall. Run the cable down and inside the hidden compartment. Run the cable down the right hand side of the clip on the right.
Reattach the compartment hatch. Place the available plug of the 15cm Connecting Cable inside the compartment with any excess cable that now runs below the hatch hinge. Close the hatch.
Close up the Millennium Falcon and stand it on its end so that you can access the bottom of the ship.
On the right hand side of the ship is the bottom panel of the hidden storage compartment. Push the red technic pins with stop bushes out.
Pull the hidden compartment down an off the plates it is attached to. The 15cm Connecting Cable should now be hanging freely down.
Remove the 2 x 6 white modified plate.
Run the plug end of the 15cm Connecting Cable through the side of the technic brick so that it comes out above the blue 1 x 4 plate.
Pull the cable through and grab the white 2 x 6 modified plate. Reattach the white 2 x 6 modified plate making sure that the 15cm Connecting Cable runs in between the studs of the white 2 x 6 modified plate that are going to be locked in to place.
Run the plug end of the 15cm Connecting Cable up through the same hole in the technic brick that the Flashing Bit Lights are running through.
Connect the 15cm Connecting Cable to the 12 Port Expansion Board.
Replace the hidden compartment and push the red technic pins with stop bushes back in.
Look to the bottom left of the ship. The 30cm Connecting Cable should be visible down there. There is a 6 x 6 plate above the bottom left landing gear. Remove the 6 x 6 plate.
Feed the 30cm Connecting Cable through the side of the technic brick. The cable runs underneath where the 6 x 6 plate was.
Run 30cm Connecting Cable up through the left most available hole in the side of the square 6 x 8 technic piece that surrounds the bottom of the gunner’s compartment.
Continue to feed the 30cm Connecting Cable up through the left most available hole in the top side of the square 6 x 8 technic piece that surrounds the bottom of the gunner’s compartment. Plug the 30cm Connecting Cable into the 12 Port Expansion Board.
Replace the 6 x 6 plate above the bottom left landing gear.
Replace the hatch and bottom guns.
Grab the Lego 6 x 8 Plate or 8 x 8 Plate. We are going to put it over the top of the 12 Port Expansion Board and excess wire to ensure they stay up and out of the way. Slide the 12 Port Expansion Board inside the cavity where it should roughly be already. If vertical, the 12 Port Expansion Board will fit perfectly inside the cavity. Gather the excess wires together and then pin them under your finger. Fix the 6 x 8 Plate or 8 x 8 Plate over the top.
Stand the ship upright again with the front facing away from you. Open up the roof sections so you can access the interior of the back of the ship. Locate the available Strip Light port that runs along the right hand side of the ship.
Grab the Standard Battery Pack and put three AA batteries in it. Slide the Standard Battery Pack in underneath the Strip Light you located. Make sure the On / Off switch is facing up and the wires are pointing towards the back of the ship.
The last thing to do is plug the Standard Battery Pack plug into the Strip Light.
CONGRATULATIONS! You have finished. Turn the Standard Battery Pack on and enjoy the lights!

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.
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
This model has 6 lights on the front and three lights on the back. As we install the lights, we are going to run the wires to a central point underneath the vehicle. This is where we will connect them up as seen in the picture below.
Start by taking the roof off and opening the bonnet.
Hold on to the bonnet and pull it up to remove it. Sometimes the side pieces will come out as well and other times they won’t. If they don’t, remove them manually and attach them to the sides of the bonnet.
Above the front grille, there is a 1 x 8 light grey tile and two 1 x 4 green tiles behind it. Remove the 1 x 4 tiles and the piece they are sitting on.
Remove the transparent clear dish pieces from both front fog lights.
Grab a White Bit Light and hold it in the bottom section of the light grey dish piece that is still on the car. hold it near the middle with the wires coming away from the centre of the car.
Replace the transparent clear dish pieces.
Remove the headlights by placing your thumb on the headlight and lifting it upwards, also removing the plate and tile on top of it.
Remove the indicator and the bricks attached to it (if you pull the green brick behind the indicator forward, a few pieces should all come out together).
Remove the unusual looking grey piece from the place next to where the indicator was.
Look for the space underneath a black plate and above the green plate that is now visible. Feed the plug end of the fog lights through this gap.
Pull the wire through and then replace the unusual looking grey piece.
The transparent orange indicator lights that came with this model do not fit our lights underneath them. Get the transparent orange 1 x 1 round plates to use for the indicators.
Pick up the indicator pieces the you removed earlier. Remove the transparent orange indicator plate.
Grab a White Bit Light and hold it in place above the stud that is now exposed because the transparent orange piece was removed. Gently place a transparent orange 1 x 1 round plate over the White bit light.
Feed the plug end of the White bit light through the unusual looking grey piece and pull it through as you return the indicator pieces to their position.
Fit the indicator pieces back in their position.
Replace the headlight and the plate and tile on top of it.
Remove the transparent clear dish pieces from both head lights.
Grab a White bit light and hold it in the centre of the of the light grey shield piece that is still on the car. Hold it so that the wires coming vertically down.
Replace the transparent clear dish piece.
There is a small gap above the indicator where you can run the plug end of the headlight wire through the unusual looking grey piece.
Run the wire through.
Now you should have 6 wires hanging out of the engine bay going all over the place!
We are going to feed the wires through to the interior of the car. We are going to feed the three pairs of wires from lights on the right down the right hand side of the engine and into an existing gap in the “firewall”.
Look for the wire near the floor in the front of the car’s interior and pull it through when you can see it.
The left hand side looks a little different because the steering wheel is there. Look for the metallic silver technic piece that is part of the steering wheel assembly and feed the wires passed it.
Once all the wires are pulled through, you should see that they all fit comfortably within the engine bay running down either side of the engine.
Replace the front piece with the two green 1 x 4 tiles on top then put the bonnet back on.
Now we want to run the wires to the underside of the car. We will do this by feeding them through the gaps on either side of the gear stick.
Remove the gear stick and feed the wires on the left hand side through the gap in the floor.
Pull them through the underside of the car.
Remove the steering wheel and feed the wires on the right hand side of the car through the gap on the right hand side of the gear stick.
Replace the gear stick and the steering wheel.
OK, let’s turn the vehicle around so that the back is facing you.
Open the boot and remove the contents (if you kept the picnic gear in the boot).
Now is the time to substitute the two 1 x 1 transparent red plates with the 1 x 2 transparent red plate.
Remove the plate or plates that are representing the break light on the back of the car.
Grab a White bit light and feed the plug end up behind the bumper bar. The bumper bar has some flex and is easily bent out a bit to fit the plug through.
Hold the LED end of the White bit light in the centre of the two studs on the piece that the brake light came off. The White bit light will not sit flush and will be in a slight angle.
When you replace the transparent red brake light piece, it will only close over about half of the stud leaving an obvious gap if you look closely. Carefully replace the transparent red piece brake light piece.
Let the wire from the brake light run out the back of the boot. Remove the transparent orange 1 x 1 plates that represent indicator pieces from the back of the car.
For each indicator, grab a White bit light and hold it in the centre of the stud that the transparent orange plate was removed from. The gently replace the transparent orange brick over the White bit light.
Now you will have three sets of White bit light wires hanging out the back of the car.
Lift up the grey floor of the boot (the bit that covers the spare wheel) until you have enough of it to hold on to. Twist it and pull it out.
Take the spare wheel out.
Looking inside the boot and under the back seat, you will see some white clip pieces holding a couple of red hinge pieces. Immediately behind that is a hole where you might see some light come through if you lift the car a bit. Feed the White bit light wires through the hole and look for them on the underside of the car.
Grab the Coin Cell Battery Pack and feed the plug end of the wires through the same gap.
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.
If using the USB Power Cable you will be unable to hide the power source. Instead, you will need to run the USB Power Cable out from the back, or from underneath the car directly from the 12-Port Expansion Board.
Let the Flat Battery Pack rest in the boot. Close the boot and rest the car on its side so you can access the bottom of the car.
Grab the 12 Port Expansion Board and connect each of the nine wires and the battery pack to the board.
Grab the two 1/2L Technic pins, get them now and working from the bottom of the 1:9 Expansion Board place the short end up through the holes on either side of the 1:9 Expansion Board.
Now fix the 12 Port Expansion Board to the black technic brick running along the side of the exposed centre section underneath the car.
Gather the wires together and work them until they are contained within the exposed centre section underneath the car, between the two black technic bricks. Have your 6 x 10 plate ready.
With the wires contained as seen above, the 6 x 10 plate will cover the exposed centre section and keep the wires inside.
Turn the car upright again and have the back of the car facing you. Open the boot to reveal the battery pack.
Holding the Coin Cell Battery Pack up and out of the way, replace the spare wheel. If you want to keep things as neat as possible, pull the wires from the lights back towards you a little bit so there is a good bit of slack. Place the spare wheel down on top of the wires from the lights.
Still holding the Coin Cell Battery Pack up and out of the way, refit the floor section of the boot.
Flick the switch on the Coin Cell Battery Pack and light her up!
The picnic basket, blanket and drink can all still fit in the boot!
Just pop the roof back on and you are done……enjoy!

Instructions for installing this kit
The first thing we need to do is take R2’s head off. I know, it sounds brutal but he can’t feel it anyway, right??
If you gently hold his head and lift upward, it should easily come off.
Look at the front of R2’s head, look for two trans-clear 1×1 plates and remove them.
Grab two of the bit lights and angle the end so that the light is perpendicular to the wire.
Feed the connector end of each bit light into the square hole left by removing the 1×1 trans-clear plates.
Once they are thread all the way through, the LED will sitting inside the square hole facing towards the front.
Let the plug ends of wires rest where they will……we will get to those later.
Replace the two 1×1 trans-clear plates.
Remove the 1×1 round trans-red plate from the front of R2’s head.
Grab one of the bit lights and angle the end so that the light is perpendicular to the wire.
Feed the connector end of the bit light into the round hole in the blue brick left by removing the 1×1 round trans-red plate.
Once the wire has been fed all the way through, the bit light will sit on the outside of the round hole in the blue brick.
Replace the 1×1 round trans-red plate.
Now remove R2’s projector piece by holding it and pulling it forward and out.
The projector piece came out of a 1×1 brick with a blue technic pin in it. The 1×1 brick can move from side to side a bit leaving a gap on the left hand side of the brick between it and the rest of R2’s head.
It is in this gap that we want to run the wires for the last bit light. The plug won’t fit through this gap, so we need to pry some pieces apart to feed the plug through. If you lift from where the 1×1 panel is, you should get some natural separation of layers as seen below:
Pry the pieces apart until there is enough room to thread the plug end of the remaining bit light through.
Push a few inches of the wire through and let the wire rest next to the grey brick with the blue technic pin in it.
Press the pieces back together. The wire will be able to freely move in the gap.
The projector piece we removed is actually two pieces. Pull those pieces apart.
We are going to place the bit light inside the larger round piece making sure that the LED faces away from the hole we will put it in to. Gently bend the wires until it resembles the image below:
Place the bit light into the round space on the larger round piece just far enough so that the LED itself is inside the piece.
Gently replace the technic rod into the hole where the LED is. It will be a tight fit so you need to do it slowly to prevent damage.
Now you can return the projector piece to its place. Feed the wire back in through gap as you return the projector to its place.
With the projector piece back in place, we have all four LEDs where we want them and four wires hanging out from the inside of R2’s head.
Grab the 6 Port Expansion Board fit each of the plug ends of the bit lights into the board.
Now get the battery pack
Turn R2 around and sit the battery pack horizontally inside his body with the switch on the high side and facing back towards you.
Turn R2 back around and connect the plug from the battery pack to the 6 port expansion board.
You’ll see that there is an excess of wire from the bit lights to the 1:4 expansion adaptor. You can gather these up in whatever way you choose. One way is to wrap the wires around the centre pieces in R2 as seen below:
Caution: Do not rotate R2’s head after you put it back on. This may pull on the wires and damage them.
Carefully put R2’s head back on his body making sure that wires and connectors are clear of the outsider sides of the head.
Congratulations! You’re done!
To turn on, gently lift R2’s head until you can access the on / off switch.
Flick the switch, pop his head back on, turn him around and enjoy!

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
We will start by installing the two blue bit lights under the pyramid at the front of the model and run the wires from these lights towards the back and then inside the building. Then we will connect the two lights to the 6 port expansion board inside the building. From there, we will fix the strip lights to a high position inside the building. We will connect the strip lights together and connect them to the 6 port expansion board. From here, it’s just a matter of hooking up a battery pack and putting the model back together!
Remove the centre piece from the top of the pyramid and the four sides of the pyramid. When I do this, the rods and the plate at the base of the walls come out also. This is preferred as it will give you the room required to work inside.
Remove the 1 x 2 tiles and the transparent round bricks left from under the pyramid structure.
What you should see now is a 6 x 6 area of dark grey bricks where the pyramid was as seen in the picture below.
Now we need to remove three of the “water” pieces on the left hand side of the model.
Remove the two 1 x 2 plates and the sloped tiles fixed to them. You want the highest one from the left hand side and the lowest one from the right hand side.
We want to make a path to run our wires from inside the pyramid towards the left and right side of the model. Remove the bottom most 6 tiles on the right hand side of the model. I have started with the two immediately next to the plate and slope tile we removed.
Remove the remaining four tiles so that you can see the studs from the plates underneath going all the way to the edge of the model.
We want to do the same sort of thing on the left hand side but higher up where the gap is from the 1 x 2 plate and slope plate we removed earlier. Looking from there to the left, we want to remove the 2 x 4 plate, the 1 x 2 plate, the 1 x 2 tile and the remaining four 2 x 2 tiles.
Your model should now look like the picture above. You’ll see that I have also removed the 1 x 8 plate from the left edge of the model. Go ahead and remove all three from both sides of the model (6 in total).
OK……let’s put some lights in! These two bit lights will end up sitting reasonably flat and facing upwards. Run the bit light in from the right had side with the wire in the middle of the studs we have exposed now that the plates are removed. Bend a slight a curve into the wire at the globe end so it looks something like the picture below. Follow the path of the wire between the studs as best as you can.
When you press you finger on the wire close to the LED end, the LED should rest somewhere near the middle of the four studs in the lower left hand corner. It doesn’t need to be perfect, but if you can get close to this, things will be easier later on.
Now we are going to put the 1 x 2 plate and sloped tile back and secure the wire under it. Position the wire in the centre of the two studs that the plate goes on top of and hold it in place with your finger.
Put the 1 x 2 plate and sloped tile back in place.
If your LED and wire look like the picture below, then you have done well and we are ready to move on.
We are going to follow roughly the same method for the LED that comes in from the left hand side. Run the wire in, remembering to curve the end near the LED and we want it to sit roughly in the middle of the top four studs in the top right hand corner.
Centre the wire where it comes out of the pyramid section and hold it in place with your finger. Put the 1 x 2 plate and sloped tile back in place securing the wire underneath it.
Back to the right hand side. Gently pull the wire on the right hand side so that it comes straight out and stays in the middle of the studs. You only need to apply enough pressure to keep it straight.
Replace the six tiles concealing the wire in the middle.
Now back to the left hand side! Gently pull the wire on the left hand side so that it comes straight out and stays in the middle of the studs. You only need to apply enough pressure to keep it straight.
Replace the tiles and plates concealing the wires between the studs.
Now we are going to run the wires towards the back of the model and feed them in to the building. I’m going to detail one side of the building but you exactly the same thing for each side.
Gently pull the wire along the edge of the model (on top of the exposed black studs) until it runs straight towards the back.
When the 1 x 8 tile (shown above) is replaced, it will pull the wire down and back towards the front. Allow the wire to do this. We want the wire to rest in between the studs and plates next to them. Gently place the 1 x 8 black tile back where it came from.
Notice that the wire nearest the plate you just put on sits nice and low next to the studs? That is ideal for the next section as well. Gently place the second 1 x 8 tile back where it belongs.
Repeat the steps above for the other side of the model.
Now we are going to feed the wires inside the building and connect them up. We need to work from the back of the model to do this so turn it around.
We need to remove all three roof sections. Looking down on the model, I place my index and middle finger across the brown plates with the lip on them. With my thumb positioned at the back applying gentle downward pressure, I lift from the front like I’m peeling the roof off. Do this slowly and don’t be concerned about what pieces come off with the roof and what ones stay attached to the building.
Repeat the above steps for the roof section on the left hand side.
Now remove the centre roof section. I like to pry the back section away from the large left and right panels at the back. Give it a bit of a jiggle if you need to and lift up. The front of this model is not particularly secure so it should come away quite easily.
Time to feed the bit light wires into the sides of the building. I’m going to detail one side of the building but you exactly the same thing for each side.
There are a couple of options here. the quickest and simplest method is to feed the wire in behind the pillar, behind the window piece and through to the back.
You’ll notice that this method does leave some wire clearly visible. If this doesn’t bother you, then this is the way to go!
Alternatively, there is a 1 x 4 tan brick and a 1 x 1 tan brick near the bottom of the wall. We are going to feed the wire in between these two bricks. Gently lift the wall away from the base. If you have a brick separator, it might come in handy for this bit. I have found that the 1 x 1 brick tends to stay in place while the 1 x 4 brick comes away with the rest of the wall.
Feed the end of the wire into the gap between the bricks and gently pull it through to from the other side of the wall. Let the wall rest back in place but do not push it down and lock it in to position just yet.
We need to fit the last 1 x 8 tile now. Similarly to the first one, when we put this tile back on, the wire may get pulled back and down. We want to allow this to easily happen. Lift the building wall again and gently replace the 1 x 8 tile.
From the inside of the wall, gently pull the wire so that it lies against the side of the 1 x 1 tan brick. Move the wall back into place and let it rest in position.
If your wires are in between the tan bricks, secure the wall back into place.
Repeat these steps for the other side of the model.
Grab the 6 port expansion board.
Connect both of the plug ends of the Blue bit light wires to this expansion board.
With both wires connected and the two remaining rear panels removed, your model should resemble the picture below.
Find your 15cm connecting cable and connect it to the 6 port expansion board.
Find your two strip lights and attach them to 1 x 6 plates as seen in the “IMPORTANT Things to Note” section at the beginning of this guide. (1 x 6 plates are not included but can be purchased separately if you don’t already have your own)
With your remaining 5cm connecting cable, connect the two LED Strip Lights.
Now you can connect one of the LED strip lights to the 15cm connecting cable.
Connect the battery pack to the 6 port expansion board.
Grab the centrepiece from the building and put it in front of you where you can work with it.
Attach the 1 x 6 plates with the strip lights attached exactly as shown in the picture.
Ok…..let’s put her back together! If you want to conceal the battery pack inside the model, now is the time to position it inside the building. Sit the battery pack inside the building making sure the switch is facing you and rest the centrepiece in place (don’t secure it just yet).
If you have any connecting cable sticking out, move it around so that it stays inside the building.
Replace the rear panels remembering that they partly sit underneath the centrepiece.
Push the battery pack towards the centre of the model where it won’t obstruct the light coming out the front sides.
Push the centrepiece down to secure it and the side panels. Then attach each side roof.
Turn the model around so we can finish the front.
Replace the trans-clear round bricks that came from the centre of the pyramid.
The wires from the lights should run naturally close to the round bricks. Gently replace two of the 1 x 2 grey tiles which will hold the wires in place.
With both tiles in place the LEDs should be facing up and in approx. the centre of the four studs in each corner. Place the other two 1 x 2 plates around the round bricks.
Replace the three “water” pieces back on the left hand side of the pyramid.
Replace the 4 sides of the pyramid and the centrepiece.
Congratulations — you’re finished! Now you can switch it on and enjoy!
NOTES ON BATTERY PACKS:
If you choose to conceal the battery pack within the model, you will need to access it by removing the rear left panel to switch it on and off again.
Another option is to leave the battery pack outside of the model. The bricks may not close neatly around battery pack wires depending on their placement. If you don’t like how this looks, you may choose to remove a 1 x 1 brick and run the wire through the hole.
If you have the standard battery pack as seen in the photo and choose to conceal it within the model, you may notice that one side of the building appears darker (because of the size of the battery pack).
If you centre the battery pack inside the model, this will reduce the darkening effect greatly.
Here is the instruction document for the Lego Kwik-E-Mart LED lighting kit. Please read and follow the steps carefully to ensure this lighting kit is installed properly.
Extra LEGO Pieces for mounting Strip Lights, CCTV and Billboard Lights
4x Lego Plate 1×6
2x Lego Transparent Red 1×1 round plate
2x Lego Black Tile, Modified 1 x 1 with Clip
2x Lego Technic Pin with Friction Ridges Lengthwise WITH Center Slots
2x Lego Weapon Spear Gun with Squared Trigger and Thick Spear Base
2x Lego Technic Black 1×1 brick with hole
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 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 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.
WARNING: Incorrectly inserting the connector can result in bent pins inside the port or possible overheating of the expansion board when connected.
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
Lighting the Police Car:
1.) Start by removing the following Lego pieces which make up the roof and windscreen, followed by the black Lego plates and tiles from the front bonnet.
2.)Disconnect from each side of the car, the black 1 x 1 brick with the transparent yellow plate attached. Remove the yellow plate from the black brick and take 1x White 15cm Bit Light and using the connector end of the cable of the LED, thread this through the hole of the front of the black brick.
Pull the cable from the back of the black brick all the way until the LED component is flat up against the other side of the brick. Ensure that the LED component part is facing the correct way up, then secure this down by reconnecting the transparent yellow Lego plate over the top.
Repeat this step for the other head light of the car using another White 15cm Bit Light.
3.) Reconnect the 2 head lights back to the front of the car ensuring the cables for the lights are facing up.
4.) Next step is to remove the following Lego pieces from the car so that we can lay the cables from the headlights underneath and all the way to the back.
5.) Thread the 2 cables through the small holes behind the front seats, 1 cable through each hole.
Ensure the cables are laid on the side of each of the brown Lego studs
6.) Start securing the cables down by reconnecting back Lego plates and tiles over the top. Before doing so, ensure that the cables are laid in between studs exactly the same way as the below images.
7.) Reconnect the white bricks as per below ensuring that the cables are laid in between the black and white studs underneath.
We can now also reconnect the Lego pieces which make up the front of the dash board, side mirrors, and front windscreen.
8.) In order to hide the rest of the contents from this lighting kit in the back section of the car, we will be removing and discarding the following pieces.
First, turn the car around to the back and remove the back bumper with tail lights attached, followed by the boot cover.
9.) Continue to remove the following pieces from the back of the car.
10.) Turn the car over and remove the following pieces.
11.) Remove the 2 grey bricks with plates attached below, then separate these pieces and hang on to the 2 grey plates.
12.) Remove the following pieces from the rear wheels and then connect to the axle, the 2 grey pieces we kept in the previous step in the following position.
13.) We are now ready to install the 2 tail lights. Take the bumper with lights attached and remove the 2 transparent red plates.
Take another White 15cm Bit Light and place it in between the 2 grey studs. Secure this LED in place by reconnecting a transparent red plate over the top.
Repeat this step for the 2nd tail light using another White 15cm Bit Light then reconnect the bumper to the back section of the car.
14.) Secure the 2 cables from the tail lights to the inside of the boot by laying them in between studs underneath the black plate on each side.
15.) Take the 2 cables and then pull them together and twist them around so they both come together. Wind the cables around the axle of the rear wheels a few times until you have about 2–3 cm of excess cable left on each side.
Connect these 2 lights to first available ports on the 8-port expansion board
16.) Reconnect the rear wheels along with the back section of the car to the rest of the car using the 2 grey Lego pieces.
Flip the car over and then reconnect the 2 long black plates (which we removed earlier). This will then allow the back section of the car to be secured to the car.
17.) Take the 2 cables from the front lights and twist them around so they come together. Thread them down the space in between the axle and the grey Lego piece (4 grey studs).
Turn the car over and then pull the 2 cables up from underneath all the way and then then thread them down again over the axle. Repeat this process a few times (threading the cable around the axle) until there is only approx 3 cm left of the cable.
Plug the 2 cables into the next available ports on the expansion board.
18.) We will now install flashing lights to the siren lights on the roof of the car. Take the roof and remove the long white plates on each side.
Remove the transparent red Lego tile and then take one of the Flashing White 15cm Bit Lights and place it in between the 2 grey studs, then secure the LED in place by reconnecting the transparent red tile over the top.
Repeat this process using another Flashing White 15cm Bit Light for the blue light. Then reconnect the long white tiles on each side ensuring the cables are pulled down in between.
19.) Take the 2 cables from underneath the roof and twist them so that they come together. Wind them around so they form a neat loop of cables with a diameter of around 1.5cm. Use a bit of tape to hold them together, preventing them from untangling.
20.) Place the roof with lights installed on top of the car and then connect the 2 flashing bit light cables into the next available ports on the expansion board.
21.) Take the flat battery pack and insert 2x CR2032 batteries, then connect the battery pack cable to the spare port on the expansion board.
Place the battery pack in the following position ensuring that the on/off switch is facing the outside.
24.) Reconnect the pieces that surround the boot of the car to secure the battery pack.
25.) Reconnect the the side windows and back windscreen before reconnecting back the roof of the car. While doing so, ensure that the cables from the flashing lights are neatly kept in the back section underneath.
Installation of this Police Car lighting kit is now complete.
Lighting The Kwik E Mart
This Lego tool will be required as it will be used to remove the roof of the Kwik-E-Mart as well as other Lego pieces.
1.) We will install lights starting from the right sections (store room) of the Kwik-E-Mart. We will need to first remove the roof of the right section by using the Lego tool to remove the roof at the following sections.
2.) We will be installing the battery pack to the “store room”. Remove the following Lego bricks to allow enough space for the battery pack to go.
Take the battery pack and insert 3x AA batteries, then place it down the spacing in between the walls. Ensure the battery pack is inserted in the exact position per below, as the “on-off” switch will need to be accessible by opening the back door.
Reconnect the pieces we removed earlier.
3.) Take one 30cm connecting cable and connect it to the left port of an LED strip light (striplight#1). Connect the battery cable to the right port of this strip light.
Take the roof of this section and flip it over then connect/stick the strip light in the following position. Ensure that you loop the 30cm cable above and then underneath the strip light so that it is not visible from the inside of the store.
4.) We will now install a light to the fridge of this section. Remove the following pieces to allow us to get to it.
5.) Take 1 of the White 30cm Bit Lights and attach it to the bottom of the 2 x 6 Lego brick using one of the provided double sided adhesive squares. Stick it in the following position as pictured below. We will identify this light as fridge#1. Reconnect this brick with the cable facing upward.
6.) Secure the cable by pulling it over the blue 2 x 6 brick and then forming a loop, then pushing it back up and securing it underneath the yellow 1 x 3 brick and the blue 2 x 6 brick. While doing this ensure that the connector part is on the other side of the wall underneath the yellow 1 x 3 brick.
7.) Re-attach the roof as follows ensuring that the 30cm cable is pulled between the walls and out the same side as the cable from fridge#1.
8.) Use the Lego removal tool to remove the main roof section at the following sections. Carefully use the tool to lift the roof away from the yellow walls a little bit at a time to ensure the entire roof disconnects easily in one piece.
9.) We will continue to install lights to the next lot of fridges. Start by removing the following pieces.
10.) Take another White 30cm Bit Light (fridge#2) and attach it using another adhesive square in the following position. Reconnect this brick with cable facing up.
11.) Install another White 30cm Bit Light for fridge#3 using the same method as above and following these images.
12.) Before we install the 4th fridge light, we need to remove one of the red piece items off the top shelf to prevent the light from being blocked out. Remove the following pieces to get to it.
Remove the red Lego piece on the far left and then reconnect the shelf.
Reconnect the blue Lego pieces we removed while taking anotherWhite 30cm Bit Light and install it in the following position (fridge#4).
13.) Pull the 30cm cable and cable from fridge#1 across and secure them down by connecting back the yellow 2×3 brick over the top ensuring the cables are laid in between studs.
14.) We will now install a flashing light to the Video camera. Remove the video camera from its connector and place it down.
15.) Take 1 Flashing Red 30cm Bit Light and using the connector end of the cable, thread it through the hole at the top back of the camera. Pull it through from the bottom of the camera all the way until the LED component part is sitting flat against the top of the hole. Ensure that the LED component is facing the correct way up. Secure the LED in place by connecting one of the provided transparent red round Lego pieces. We will identify this as video#1.
Connect the video camera back to its original position then secure the video camera cable in place by connecting the blue1 x 2 Lego piece over the top.
Ensure cables are laid in between studs before connecting bricks over them.
15.) Take the cables from video#1, fridge#2,, 3 and 4 and connect them all to one of the 12-port expansion boards.
Group the 4 cables together and twist them around each other so that they all form one large cable.
Wind the cables around the board until you have about 8–10 cm of slack.
16.) Connect the 30 cm cable and cable from fridge#1 into the next available ports on the expansion board.
17.) Wind the rest of the cables around each the expansion board as much as possile and then squeeze the expansion board on top of the fridges in between the blue and yellow bricks. Ensure that the available ports are facing toward video#1. Then reconnect all the bricks surrounding the fridge.
18.) Take a 15cm cable and connect it into a spare port on the expansion board.
19.) We can test our current lighting circuit as you go by simply turning on the battery pack. This is a good idea as you want to ensure all is working before you connect back bricks into original positions. Let’s turn it on to see how it looks so far.
20.) We will now move onto lighting the front of the building’s roof section. Take the main section of the roof and turn it over. Take 1 LED strip light (striplight#2) and stick it to the following section on the left side under the roof. Sticking the strip light using it’s adhesive backing is recommended for this part rather than sticking to 1×6 lego plates. Then take another 30cm cable and connect it to the right port.
Take another strip light (striplight#3) and stick it to the following position on the right side of the roof (using the strip light’s adhesive backing). Then connect to the other end of the 30cm cable from striplight#2 into the left port.
Hide the 30cm cable underneath the grey Lego tiles in the spacing underneath the roof.
21.)We will now install the 2 billboard lights which point to the “Kwik-E-Mart” sign.
Locate the following Lego pieces which have been included in this set.
Connect the 1×1 plates with clips onto each of the spear gun pieces then using some scissors snip off the pointed end at the following position. YES, we will need to cut this piece in order for it to clip in securely to the roof.
23.) Take 2x White 30cm Bit Lights and stick the LED to self adhesive squares then stick the other ends of the LEDs to the 1×1 plates with clips.
24.) Connect the Lego technic pins into the 1×1 bricks with holes, then thread the other end of the one of the bit lights through the pin and out the other side of the 1×1 brick. Repeat this for the other technic pin and brick so that you have two billboard lights.
25.) Take the 2 billboard lights and connect them to the following positions under the roof.
Lift the main section so that underneath of the roof is facing us. Hide the cables from the billboard lights underneath the grey Lego plates by first removing them and then reconnecting them over the cables ensuring they are laid in between studs.
This now completes the roof lighting. We won’t connect these to 12-port expansion board as yet, as this will happen when we connect the roof back after the next section of lights are installed.
26.) Let’s move on to the next section of the building. Remove the following Lego bricks and then disconnect the long blue section which connects across the length of the wall.
27.) Take the long blue section and turn it over with the white brick facing toward the right. Take 1x Flashing White 30cm Bit Light and 1x Flashing Red 30cm Bit Light and stick it to the following positions using the provided self adhesive squares. It does not matter which one is on the left or right. We will identify these as flashgame#1 and flashgame#2.
Reconnect the long blue section back to its original position ensuring that the cables are facing the same way as pictured.
28.) Take the 2 cables from the flashgame#1 and 2 and pull them up towards the other end of the store. Take another 30cm cable and lay the cable along side the other 2 cables. Leave about 3cm of free cable sticking out the front. This will be used to connect to striplight#3 later.
Secure all 3 cables down by reconnecting all the blue and yellow Lego pieces we removed earlier. Ensure that the cables are laid neatly in between Lego studs.
29.) Connect the roof lights to the rest of the circuit by first placing the main roof section on top of the building and connecting the 15cm cable cable from 12-port expansion board to the left port on lightstrip#2. Then connect the 2 cables from the billboard lights into the expansion board.
Connect the 30cm cable from the right side of the building (which we left 3cm free) to the right port on striplight#3.
30.) Reconnect the main roof section back to the rest of the building ensuring that all cables are pushed behind their lights and over the front wall. This part is a little tricky and may take a few goes to ensure all cables are hidden behind and the roof is fully connected to the top of the walls. Be patient, you will get there.
31) Turn the building around. You will notice messy cables from the billboard lights hanging down from the other side.
We will hide these by first removing the grey Lego walls of the roof, laying the cables in between the black Lego studs below, and then reconnecting the grey walls over the top. Do this as much as required to ensure cables are neatly secured and out of the way.
Now let’s turn on the battery pack to test the lights we have just installed.
32.) Let’s install lights to the left back section. Remove the roof using the Lego removal tool the same way we removed the other roof sections.
33.) We will start with the 2nd video camera. Remove this section and install another Flashing Red 30cm Bit Light (video#2) the same we did for video#1. Secure this LED using another provided transparent red Lego piece. Then reconnect the video camera back to its original position. We will connect the other end of the cable later.
34.) We will now install lighting for the donut stand and hotdog display. First remove this whole section from the base of the shop.
35.) Detach the donut section (glass section) from the counter and then install a White 30cm Bit Light underneath the orange donut sign in the following position. Stick this LED using one of the provided adhesive squares.
Secure the cable by pulling it toward the right underneath the donut sign and in between the studs of the glass piece.
36.) Detach the hotdog display (at the cream Lego plates) from the counter and remove the grey 1 x 4 Lego piece from the top back.
Using another adhesive square, stick another White 30cm Bit Light to the bottom of this Lego piece in the following position.
Secure this by ensuring the cable is facing the exact way as per above and laying it underneath the grey plates in between the studs of the glass window piece underneath.
37.) Turn the counter over and remove the 2 orange Lego plates from the back of the counter.
38.) Reconnect the hotdog display and donut stand to the counter, pull the cables from the lights down in between studs and then reconnect the orange Lego plates over them to secure them down.
Reconnect this whole section back to the base of the shop
39.) We will be laying the cables from the hotdog and donut lights down and then underneath the 2 fridges behind. Start by removing the following pieces to then allow us to remove the fridge doors and shelves.
40.) Start with the hotdog light cable and pull it toward the back in between the studs of the grey base plate and then connect the shelves over the top ensuring that the cable is pulled up from behind it and then to the right.
Secure the shelves by reconnecting the cream and yellow Lego piece. Be careful and ensure that the cable still remains in between studs.
41.) Do the same for the donut light cable, ensuring that the cable is laid in between grey Lego studs.
Reconnect the fridge doors and blue Lego 2 x 6 piece and 1 x 2 piece. Take the left 2 x 6 piece and turn it on its side.
42.) Take another White 30cm Bit Light (fridge#5) and stick it using an adhesive square in the following position before reconnecting this piece back . Ensure that the cable is pointing toward the right as pictured below.
Reconnect another blue Lego brick ensuring the cables are laid underneath.
43.) Install another White 30cm Bit Light to the bottom the last blue 2 x 6 Lego brick in the following position before reconnecting the piece back.
Ensure all cables are pulled to the right underneath the blue Lego bricks.
44.) Take the cables from flashgame#1 and 2 as well as the 30cm cable and then pull them across to the other side. Lay them in between studs and then secure them down by reconnecting the blue Lego 2×3 brick over the top. Ensure that you pull this section all the way out so that you have enough cables when you open and close the section.
45.) Connect the 3 cables we just pulled over into another 12-port expansion board.
46.) Take the cables from the hotdog stand and donut light and then connect them into the next available ports.
47.) Take the cables from video#2 and fridge#5 and 6 and then twist them together so that they form one large cable.
Connect these 3 cables into the next available ports on the expansion board, them wind them around the expansion board to eliminate excess cable.
48.) Take the final 30cm connecting cable and then connect this into a spare port on the expansion board.
49.) Neatly place the expansion board and all cables into the corner space in between the fridges and wall ensure the 30cm cable is left out.
50.) Pull the 30cm cable back up to the other side and then secure this down by disconnecting the blue 2×3 brick and then reconnecting it over the top of all 4 cables. Ensure they are all neatly laid in between studs.
51.) Ensure the rest of the cables are neatly tucked in between the walls before reconnecting back the roof section.
52.) Take the centre roof piece and place it on its side so that we can access underneath of it. Take 4x Strip Lights and use the adhesive backing to stick them onto the provided LEGO 1×6 Plates. Install the 4 strip lights to the following positions and connect a 15cm cable between all of the strip lights (total of 3x 15cm cables required).
Secure the 15cm cables underneath the strip lights by looping them and laying them underneath. (If you aren’t using 1 x 6 bricks you will have to glue the strip lights over the cables with super glue)
53.) Finally, connect the centre roof section lights to the rest of the lighting circuit by taking the hanging 30cm cable and connecting it to the left port of the striplight in the top corner. Place the centre piece back to the top of the roof in its original position.
This finally completes the LED lighting circuit for your Lego Kwik-E-Mart.
Now turn on your kit, turn off the lights in your room, and Enjoy!
