Important things to note:

Laying cables in between and underneath bricks

Cables can fit in between and underneath LEGO® bricks, plates, and tiles providing they are laid correctly between the LEGO® studs. Do NOT forcefully join LEGO® together around cables; instead ensure they are laying comfortably in between each stud.

CAUTION: Forcing LEGO® to connect over a cable can result in damaging the cable and light.

Connecting cable connectors to Expansion Boards

Take extra care when inserting connectors to ports of Expansion Boards. Connectors can be inserted only one way. With the expansion board facing up, look for the soldered “=” symbol on the left side of the port. The connector side with the wires exposed should be facing toward the soldered “=” symbol as you insert into the port. If a plug won’t fit easily into a port connector, do not force it.

Incorrectly inserting the connector can can result in bent pins inside the port or possible overheating of the expansion board when connected.  

Connecting cable connectors to Strip Lights

Take extra care when inserting connectors to ports on the Strip Lights. Connectors can be inserted only one way. With the Strip Light facing up, ensure the side of the connector with the wires exposed is facing down. If a plug won’t fit easily into a port connector, don’t force it. Doing so will damage the plug and the connector.

Connecting Micro Cable connectors to Micro Expansion Board Ports

Take extra care when inserting the micro connectors to micro ports of Micro Expansion Boards. Connecting Micro Bit Lights to Micro Expansion Boards is similar to connecting lights and cables to Strip Lights. With the expansion board facing up, ensure the side of the connector with the wires exposed is facing down. If a plug won’t fit easily into a port connector, do not force it. Use your fingernail to push the plastic part of the connector to the micro port.  

Installing Bit Lights under LEGO® bricks and plates.

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

 

OK, Let’s Begin!

  1.) We will start with lighting the bottom section of the Lander. First disconnect the upper shuttle, then remove the bottom section from the base and turn it onto it’s side. Disconnect the Jet section as per below:   Take the Jet section and slightly disconnect the part above by pulling it up, then push the technic pin out slightly by approx. 5mm.     2.) Take the Blue 30cm Bit Light and loop the cable as shown below: Place the loop of the cable around the technic bar’s head, then pull the other end of the cable so that the cable tightens the loop securely around the technic bar. Push the bar back in to secure the cable in between.   Thread the other end of the cable through the following space of the frame above, then pull the cable all the way out from the other side.   Push the section above back down, then push the cable down into the corner of the inside of the Jet section. Fold down the cable on the outside.     3.) Thread the Bit Light cable through the technic plate hole underneath the lower section of the Lander, pull the cable all the way out from above, then reconnect the Jet section.   Connect the Blue Bit Light to one of the OUT ports on a Flicker Effects Board. Take a 5cm Connecting Cable and connect it to the IN port on the Flicker Effects Board, then connect the other end of the cable to a 6-Port Expansion Board.     4.)  Turn the Lander around to the back and disconnect the following section in the middle. Pull the two grey plates out to allow us to disconnect the dark grey plate behind.   Take a Flat Battery Pack and insert 2x new CR2032 batteries to it. Thread the battery pack cable through the following space that leads inside the Lander and pull it out from the inside, then connect it to the 6-Port Expansion Board.   Turn the Battery Pack ON to test the blue jet light is working OK and flickering!   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.     5.) Place the Battery Pack on top of the lander, then pull the cable inside until there is approx. 5cm of cable left between the battery pack and left corner of the middle section. Reconnect the dark grey plate and push in the two light grey plates to secure the battery pack cable.   Reconnect the black wall section, then take 2x Adhesive Squares and stick them to the back of the Battery Pack. Mount the battery pack to the outside of the Lander in the below position (mount to the flat surface of the black plates):   Secure the battery pack cable in between pieces as shown below:     6.) Turn the bottom section of the Lander around to the front, then onto it’s back side so we can access underneath. Take a Cool White 30cm Bit Light, and with the cable facing down, place the Bit Light underneath the Lander inside the hole underneath the black 2×3 plate, as per below. Secure the Bit Light in place by connecting a provided Trans Clear Plate w Rounded Bottom 2×2 over the top.   Thread the other end of the Bit Light up the following hole of the technic plate, then pull the cable all the way out from the other side.   Using this same method, install another Cool White 30cm Bit Light to the right side, securing it in place by connecting another Trans Clear Plate w Rounded Bottom 2×2 over the top. Thread the Bit Light cable through a different hole as shown below:   Push both cables down behind the edge of the black 2×3 plate to prevent them from dangling later on.     7.) Take another Cool White 30cm Bit Light and with the cable facing up, place it over the lower hole underneath the black 2×3 plate on the bottom left, as per below. Secure the Bit Light in place by connecting another provided Trans Clear Plate w Rounded Bottom 2×2 over the top. Thread the cable all the way through the same hole we threaded the first Cool White Bit Light through.   Repeat this process to install another Cool White 30cm Bit Light to the bottom right side, securing it in place by connecting another Trans Clear Plate w Rounded Bottom 2×2 over the top. Thread the Bit Light cable all the way through the same hole we did for the second Cool White Bit Light we installed in previous step.   Push both cables down behind the edge of the black 2×3 plate to prevent them from dangling later on.     8.) Turn the Lander back over, then connect all four Bit Light cables to the 6-Port Expansion Board. Turn the Flat Battery Pack located on the back ON to test the lights are all working OK, then place the Lander back onto the base plate.   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.     9.) Neaten up cabling by grouping all the cables together, then folding and twisting them around each other into a neat bunch as shown below:   Take the four cables from the Cool White Bit Lights and pull them up and twist them around each other. This will help prevent them from dangling down underneath.   Neatly tuck the bunched up cables into the spaces on the side, then tuck the expansion board and flicker effects board into the far sides as shown below:     Ensure there are not dangling cables visible from underneath.     10.) We will now install lights to the upper shuttle of the Lander. First disconnect the side sections, then disconnect the Jet piece from underneath as shown below:   Take a Orange 30cm Bit Light and thread the connector side of the cable through the centre hole underneath of the Jet piece. Pull the cable out from the top of the piece, then carefully bend the Bit Light onto a 90 degree angle so that the LED is facing the same way as the cable.   Place the LED in the centre of the 4 studs, then reconnect the Jet piece underneath the upper section of the Lander. Ensure the other end of the cable is facing down and in between the two studs of the Jet section. Take the remaining Trans Clear Plate w Rounded Bottom 2×2 and connect it over the Bit Light as shown below. The trans clear piece will help distribute the light underneath the shuttle.     11.) Turn this middle section around to the other side, then disconnect the section with the two grey tiles running horizontally. Pull the Bit Light cable up and lay them in between studs before reconnecting the section with the grey tiles over it.   Connect the Orange Bit Light to one of the OUT ports on a new Flicker Effects Board. Take a 5cm Connecting Cable and connect it to the IN port on the Flicker Effects Board, then connect the other end of the cable to a new 6-Port Expansion Board.   Take another Flat Battery Pack and insert 2x new CR2032 batteries to it. Connect the battery pack cable to the 6-Port Expansion Board, then turn the battery pack ON to test the Jet light is on 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.   Neaten up excess cabling by folding and twisting the Orange Bit Light Cable and 5cm Connecting Cable around each other into a neat bunch, then turn the middle section around again.     12.)  Take the right section of the upper shuttle and place it onto it’s back. Disconnect the sections from underneath as shown below:     13.) Take a Cool White 30cm Bit Light and with the cable facing the left, place it underneath the the following piece. Secure the Bit Light in place by connecting a provided Trans Clear Round Plate 1×1 over the top (Connecting the stud side of the plate inside the piece above)   Disconnect the grey pieces from the black technic clip, then reconnect them ensuring you feed the cable underneath and out the front as shown below:   Disconnect the black technic clip from the grey clip, then reconnect it ensuring the cable is fed through and out underneath as shown below:   Disconnect the following pieces from the front:     14.) Follow the previous step to Install another Cool White 30cm Bit Light to the left side, securing it in place with another provided Trans Clear Round Plate 1×1. Disconnect and Reconnect the arm sections in order to feed and secure the cables through the gaps.     15.) Lay both cables toward the middle then up before reconnecting the following 1×4 brick over the top of the cables ensuring both cables are in between studs. Tuck the middle section of the cables up the inside of the shuttle as per below:   Reconnect the sections underneath as well as the two tiles on the top.     16.) Bring this right section closer to the middle section, then connect the two Bit Light cables to the 6-Port Expansion Board in the middle section. Turn the Battery Pack ON to test the two 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.   Take the Flat Battery Pack and tuck it inside the cabin so that it comes through to the other side, then twist and fold the cables from the Orange and Cool White Bit Lights together into a neat bunch. Reconnect the right section to the middle section via the two side clips.     17.) Take the left side of the upper shuttle and disconnect the bottom sections as shown below:   With the front of this section facing up, take a Cool White 30cm Bit Light and following the same method used to install lights to the right section (step 13), install it to the right side of this section. Use a provided Trans Clear Round Plate 1×1 to secure the Bit Light in place.     18.) Continue following step 13 to disconnect the arm sections to feed and secure the cable through the clips toward the middle.   Lay the cable underneath this section in between studs, before reconnecting the lower right section. Bring the the cable out toward the front of this section.     19.) Repeat the previous two steps to install the remaining Cool White 30cm Bit Light to the left side, securing it in place with the remaining provided Trans Clear Round Plate 1×1.   Lay the cable underneath this section in between studs before reconnecting the lower left section over the top.     20.) With the front of this section still facing toward you, flip this section upside down (so the yellow control handles are facing you). Lay both cables in between studs in each corner before reconnecting the middle lower section.   Take the two Bit Light cables and connect them to the remaining ports on the 6-Port Expansion Board inside the middle compartment. Turn the Flat Battery Pack ON to test all lights in the upper shuttle 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.     21.) Open the doors of the left side section, then group the two bit light cables together and twist and fold them into a neat bunch. Place the bunch of cable inside the cabin, before reconnecting the left section via the clips on each side.   Place the battery pack inside the cabin ensuring the cable is neatly placed underneath and the battery pack switch is facing out.     22.)

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.) First disconnect the front wall panels as well as the fire sections from the right side of the entrance.   Next, take out the following provided LEGO pieces shown below:
  • 2x Black Tile 1×1 with Clip 
  • 2x Black 1×1 Modified Plate Rounded with Handle 
  • 2x Black Round Plate 1×1 with open stud
    2.) Take one of the black round plates with open stud and thread the connector end of a Green 30cm Bit Light through the bottom of the black plate. Thread it all the way through, then slightly bend the Bit Light on a 90 degree angle so that it can sit flat against the bottom of the black round plate as per below:   Connect this piece to one of the Black 1×1 Modified Plate Rounded with Handle pieces, then thread the connector side of the cable through the space just above the handle. Pull the cable all the way out from the other side, then attach the plate with clip at the bottom.     3.) Attach the assembled spot light facing up, to the bottom of the set in the following position(facing diagonally up left), then disconnect the the plant from the left. Repeat the previous step to assemble another spot light and install another Green 30cm Bit Light.   Connect the assembled spot light to the following position, facing the wall. Bring the cable behind and to the right side   Disconnect the following brown piece and lay the cable from the left spot light along the wall in between studs, then reconnect the piece over the top.   Disconnect the following two sections, then lay the cable from the left spot light along the wall in between studs. Reconnect the first section, then lay the cable from the right spot light underneath the leaves, then around the right corner stud before reconnecting the flower section over the top.     4.) Bring both the cables around the corner to the back side of the set, then connect them to an 8-Port Expansion Board. Take out the USB Power Cable and connect it to expansion board. Connect the other end to a USB Power Bank or wall adaptor (sold separately) and turn it ON to test the green 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.     5.) We will now install another Green light to the Mud room at the top of the back side. Take a Green 30cm Bit Light and stick it to an Adhesive Square. Lift up the middle side flap and thread the Bit Light through to stick it to the front of the top inside this section as shown below.   Disconnect the following angled tile toward the back, then lay the cable in between studs before reconnecting the angled tile over the top. This will help secure the cable.   Bring the other end of the cable out, then bring it around the front and down towards the bottom to connect to the 8-Port Expansion Board underneath. Turn the USB Power Bank ON to test the light is working OK.     6.) We will now light up the restaurant room underneath. Take out a White 30cm Bit Light and stick it to another Adhesive Square.

Stick the Bit Light to the the front of the top section inside this room as shown below.   Disconnect the following tile, then bring the cable down and lay it across toward the front of the set in between studs, before reconnecting the tile over the top. This will help secure the cable.   Bring the other end of the cable out, then bring it down underneath the bottom side flap, to connect to the 8-Port Expansion Board underneath. Turn the USB Power Bank 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.     7.) We will now light up the underground bunker at the bottom floor. First, we want to create a gap just above the room (above the green plate). To create this gap, gently push your finger up the roof plate of this room to slightly disconnect this section on the top left side as shown below.   Take a White 15cm Bit Light and thread it through this gap. Carefully place the entire set onto it’s front side so we can neatly position the Bit Light in the centre underneath the roof plate as shown below. Ensuring the Bit Light is facing down, secure it in place by connecting a provided Trans Clear Plate w Rounded Bottom 2×2 over it.   Bring the set back to it’s upright position and push down the section above the bunker room to close up the gap we created earlier. Bring the Bit Light cable down and connect it to the 8-Port Expansion Board underneath, then turn ON the USB Power Bank to test the light is working OK.     8.) Take the 2x White Strip Lights and connect them together using a 5cm Connecting Cable. Take a 50cm Connecting Cable and connect one end it to the left strip light. Take a 30cm Connecting Cable and connect one end to the right strip light.   Carefully place the entire set back over onto it’s front, then using their adhesive backings, stick the two strip lights underneath the following section as shown below: Do your best to stick them as closely as possible next to one another.     9.) Carefully bring the set back to it’s upright position, then take the 50cm connecting cable from the left side and thread it all the way up the top left corner behind the gears. Thread the cable back down in between the wall and the black bar and pull it out over the top of the light grey plate as show below:   Completely disconnect the smaller technic bar, then disconnect just the bottom section of the longer technic bar. Bring the cable over to the left, then reconnect both technic bars, securing the cable in place.   Bring the cable down and then across toward the front, then tuck it in underneath the top side flap.   Bring the cable down toward the bottom and connect it to the 8-Port Expansion Board. Lift up the bottom side flap and bring the connecting cable underneath it. Turn the USB Power Bank ON to test the strip 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.     10.) Disconnect the USB Power Cable from the expansion board, then neaten up all the cables (Except the two spot light cables) by grouping them altogether, then folding and twisting them around each other to form a neat bunch.   Pull the two spot light cables out the back side, then twist and fold them around each other into a neat bunch. Twist the two bunched up cables together into one larger bunch.     11.) Turn the set around to the front side as we will now light up the fire sections on the right. Take the bottom wall plate as well as the fire section. Disconnect and disassemble to trans orange flame pieces as shown below:   Take a White 30cm Bit Light and with the cable facing the back and in between studs, place it over the front right stud of the grey brick section as shown below. Secure the Bit Light in place by reconnecting one of the trans orange round plates over the top.   Repeat this step to install another 3x White 30cm Bit Lights to this section ensuring all cables are facing the back and laid in between studs as shown below:     12.) Take the four trans orange flame pieces and carefully snip off the tips using a pair of scissors.   Reconnect the flames pieces to the trans orange round plates over the bit lights before reconnecting this section back to the wall. Ensure the cables are laid out toward the left side.   Turn the wall section around and disconnect the large dark grey plate on the right side. Bring the three cables together and lay them across to the left, then reconnect the dark grey plate ensuring the cables are laid in between the studs of the dark grey plate. Also ensure the cables are side by side rather than on top of each other underneath the plate.     13.) Reconnect this bottom wall section, then bring the cables out toward the back, underneath the bottom side flap.  Connect the four cables to a 6-Port Expansion Board.   Take a 5cm Connecting Cable and connect it to the 6-Port Expansion Board. Connect the other end of the cable to one of the OUT ports on a Flicker Effects Board.   Take another 5cm Connecting Cable and connect it to the IN port on the Flicker Effects Board. Connect the other end of the cable to the 8-Port Expansion Board from previous steps.   Reconnect the USB power Cable to the remaining port on the 8-Port Expansion Board. Turn your USB Power Bank ON to test the fire section from the front wall 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.   Neaten up the cables from the bottom fire section by grouping them together and folding and twisting around each other into a neat bunch     14.) We will now light the torches on the middle wall section. First disassemble the pieces from the flame section, then using the same method used to install lights to the bottom fire section, install 4x White 15cm Bit Lights to this middle fire section.     15.) Reconnect the fire section to the middle wall section ensuring the cables are laid behind to the right side. Reconnect the middle wall section to the gate, then bring the cables to the right side underneath the middle side flap. The four cables should fit nicely into the gaps of the bottom of the wall plate.   Connect the four cables to a new 6-Port Expansion Board. Take a 15cm Connecting Cable and connect it to the 6-Port Expansion Board. Bring the other end of the cable down to the bottom to connect to a different OUT port on the Flicker Effects Board. Turn ON the USB Power Bank to test the fire torches in the middle wall section 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.   Neaten up the cables from the middle fire section by grouping them together and folding and twisting around each other into a neat bunch. Take 2x Adhesive Squares and stick them to the back of the expansion board. Mount the expansion board to the dark grey wall plate on the side, then ensure the four cables are neatly laid and tucked into the space behind the wall plate.     16.) Take the top wall section along with the fire torch section on the very top, then disassemble the flame pieces. Install another 4x White 15cm Bit Lights to this section (same way we did for previous fire sections).   Reconnect the fire section to the top wall panel ensuring the cables are this time, laid behind toward the left.     17.) Before we reconnect the wall section, take the fire section on the very top of the gate and disconnect the flame sections as per below:   Take a White 15cm Bit Light and with the cable facing behind, place it in between studs in the following position. Secure the Bit Light in place by reconnecting one of the flame pieces directly over the top, then repeat this step to install another White 15cm Bit Light to the other flame.   Reconnect the plate with flame pieces to the top of the gate, then tuck both of the cables underneath. Bring the cables underneath the side flap section to the back as shown below:     18.) Take the top wall section and fold the cables behind and across the left section. Ensure the cables are laid in the following space underneath the wall plate before reconnecting this section to the front of the set.   Bring the cables to the back, underneath the top flap section, then connect them along with the two bit light cables from the top to a new 8-Port Expansion Board.   Take a 30cm Connecting Cable and connect it to a spare port on the 8-port expansion board. Bring the other end of the cable all the way down and connect it to the remaining OUT port on the Flicker Effects Board. Turn ON the USB Power Bank to test the top fire torches are all working and flickering OK.       19.) Now that we have completed installation of all the lights on the right side of the gate, take the time to neaten up cables and components. Starting with the bottom section, neatly tuck in all the components and cables (leaving the USB cable out). Ensure the bottom side flap can completely close.   Moving up to the middle section, neatly tuck the 30cm Connecting Cable into the side section.   Lift up the top side flap and group the cables together into a neat bunch by twisting and folding them around each other. Stick 2x Adhesive Squares to the back of the 8-Port Expansion Board. Mount the expansion board to the following position on the side of the set, then securely reconnect the top side flap.   Reconnect the remaining two tiles at the very top. The back of the set should look like below, without any cables visible.      20.) Turn the set to the back, then take the other end of the 30cm Connecting Cable from the White strip Light on the right side and thread it all the way up the top right corner. Thread the cable back down and then pull it out from the front in between the wall and black technic bar. Pull the cable all the way out as shown below.   Disconnect the smaller technic bar as well as the bottom part of the larger technic bar. Pull the cable across to the right as per below, then reconnect the technic bars to secure the cable in place.   Bring the 30cm Connecting Cable down and connect it to the first available port on a new 8-Port Expansion Board. Take a 15cm Connecting Cable and connect it to the end port on that expansion board, then connect the other end of the 15cm cable to another 8-Port Expansion Board.     21.) Turn the set around to the front side, then disconnect the wall sections as well as all the fire torch sections.     Repeat step 2 to install another 2x Green 30cm Bit Lights to another two assembled LEGO spot lights using the provided LEGO pieces.     22.) Disconnect the following two plants from the left side of the set, then connect one of the spot lights in the below position (facing diagonally up to the left):   Bring the cable behind and to the left side before reconnecting the two plants we disconnected earlier.   Disconnect the following plant section and flower pieces behind it, then lay the cable in between studs against the wall before reconnecting the flower pieces over it.     23.) Disconnect the following plant at the brown plate, then connect the second spot light to the top of it ensuring the it is angled to the right as shown below. Tuck the cable underneath the leaves toward the back right.

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 start by installing lights to the Flying Ford. First remove the vehicle from the tree and disconnect the following sections from the top and front, then disconnect the headlight sections as per below.     2.) Disconnect the trans yellow round plates, then take a White 15cm Bit Light and thread the connector end through the front of one of the light blue bricks. Pull the cable all the way out from the other side, then carefully bend the Bit Light on a 90 degree angle so that it sits flat against the front side of the brick. Secure the Bit Light in place by reconnecting the trans yellow round plate over the top.   Repeat this step to install another White 15cm Bit Light to the other headlight, then reconnect both sections to the front of the flying ford.     3.) Lay both cables up the sides of the car in between studs before reconnecting sections we removed earlier.   Take the Micro Battery Pack (or 8-Port Expansion Board w/ 50cm Connecting Cable, if your Light Kit did not come with a Battery Pack) and remove the clear protection tag which sits in between the metal contact and batteries.  Connect the two headlight cables to the ports, then switch the battery pack ON to test the headlights are working OK. Important Note: The Micro Battery Pack to power the car has been removed as of June 2022 due to child safety regulations. Please use the 50cm Connecting Cable and 8-Port Expansion Board in place of the Battery Pack to tether off the expansion board at step 34.   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 vehicle around to the rear side and disconnect the following sections and pieces surrounding the back, then disconnect the tail light sections as shown below:     5.) Disassemble the left tail light section, then take a White 15cm Bit Light and with the cable facing down, place it over the front side of the dark grey stud. Secure it in place by reconnecting the trans red round plate over the top.   Fold the cable underneath this section toward the right side before reconnecting it to the grey 1×2 plate.   Repeat this step to install another White 15cm Bit Light to the right tail light except this time, fold the cable down underneath it toward the left side as shown below:     6.) Reconnect both tail light sections to the back of the vehicle, then reconnect the two ‘L’ shaped tiles ensuring the cables are laid up toward the centre of the car in between studs.   Lay each cable across toward the centre as shown below, then secure them down by reconnecting the right angled light grey pieces over the top.   Reconnect some of the pieces we removed earlier, then connect the two tail lights to the Micro Battery Pack ports. Turn ON the battery pack to test the tail 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).

Follow the same method used in step 14 to install another 2x White 15cm Bit Lights to the lamps, then set both of them aside for now.     30.) We will now install micro bit lights to the candle in the bedroom and in the potion classroom. First disconnect the two candles and remove the flame pieces from each of them as per below:   Following the same method used to install the candle light in the professor’s office in step 11, Install a White 15cm Micro Bit Light to each candle.   Reconnect the candle to the bedroom and the other, to the classroom ensuring the cables are facing behind.     31.) Take the bedroom candle light cable and thread it down the following space, then pull it up from the middles space. Connect the micro bit light to a new Micro 4-Port Expansion Board.   Take the candle light cable from the classroom and thread it up above to connect to the Micro 4-Port Expansion Board. Secure the cable underneath Seamus’s chair by disconnecting the chair, laying the cable in between studs and reconnecting the chair over it.     32.) Take a 5cm Connecting Cable and connect it to the Micro Expansion Board’s larger port.   Take the 5cm Connecting Cable from the IN port on the Flicker Effects Board and thread it up the middle space in the classroom to connect the 6-Port Expansion Board.   Take the other end of the 5cm Connecting Cable from the Micro 4-Port Expansion Board and connect it to another OUT port on the Flicker Effects Board   Turn ON the AA Battery Pack to test that all three candles (office, bedroom, and classroom) are all working OK. The candle lights should be flickering like real candle flames.   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 one of the wall lamp sections from step 29, and thread it’s bit light cable down through the top left space, then pull it all the way up from the middle section. Reconnect the wall lamp ensuring the bit light cable is laid in between studs underneath.   Repeat this step to reconnect the wall lamp to the right side except this time, thread the cable down through the top right space.   34.) This step applies to Light Kits purchased from June 2022 onwards that have the Micro Battery Pack removed due to child safety regulations. Take the other end of the 50cm Connecting Cable from the car and connect it to a spare port on the 8-Port Expansion Board.   35.) Hide the other 50cm connecting cable and micro bit light cable behind the potion shelf on the left.   Neaten up all the cabling on top of the potion classroom by twisting and folding them around each other into 2 neat bunches. One for the bit lights cables and the other for the connecting cables. Ensure the 50cm Connecting Cable from the car is left out and laid across LEGO studs to the right of the building. Take the Micro 4-Port Expansion Board and stick it to the top of the back wall using 2x Adhesive Squares.    Place the flicker effects board flat down on top of the expansion boards, then place the bunched-up cables over the top. Lay any excess cable to the left and right in between studs. Reconnect all the pieces and sections we removed earlier over the top of the components. Note – that some of the components may still be visible if you look from underneath.     Turn the AA Battery Pack ON to test all the 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).

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!

  1.) We will first install lights to the cockpit. Start by disconnecting the roof section on each side, then disconnect the following middle sections as shown below:   Disassemble the middle section as shown below, then take the red and trans dark clear pieces.     2.) Take 2x Cool White 30cm Bit Lights and with the cables facing the right side, place both of them over the studs of the red plate. Secure them in place by reconnecting the trans dark clear plates over the top. The 2 LEDs should fit nicely inside the studs of the trans dark clear plates.   Reconnect the following section on top, then flip it over and push the cables down into the corner before reconnecting it to the two white arch bricks. Lay the two cables down the middle in between studs before reconnecting the right section over the top of the cables.   Flip this section over and ensure both cables are tucked in between white bricks, then flip it back over and reconnect the middle section on top.     3.) Take a new Cool White 30cm Bit Light and using an Adhesive Square, stick it underneath the middle section in the below position with cable facing the back.   Slip the Bit Light Cable in between the two centre arched bricks, then lay it out toward the back before reconnecting the grey 2×3 plate over the top of the cables. Ensure the cable is laid in between studs.     4.) Connect the cables from the three bit lights we have just installed to a 6-Port Expansion Board. Take your USB Power Cable and connect it to the expansion board. Connect the USB end to a USB Power Bank (sold separately) and turn it ON to test the 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.   Disconnect the USB Power Cable from the expansion board, then reconnect the middle section back to the front of the ship. Neaten up the wiring and eliminate excess cable from the Bit Lights by grouping them together and twisting/folding them together into a neat bunch as shown below. Place the expansion board in to the middle section behind.     5.) Remove cabin roof as well upper cannon section, then take a 15cm Connecting Cable and connect it to the 6-Port Expansion Board.   Bring the other end of the 15cm Connecting Cable toward the back, then slip it in between the middle and side sections as shown below.   Disconnect the following white square plate and lay the cable in between studs underneath, before reconnecting the square plate over the top.     6.) Open the lower compartment, then bring the cable out the side to connect to the first port on a 12-Port Expansion Board   Reconnect the USB Power Cable to the last port on the 12-Port Expansion Board and connect up the USB Power Bank to test the cockpit 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.   Reconnect the middle section behind the cockpit, as well as the two front side sections.   7.) Take a 5cm Connecting Cable and connect it to the 12-Port Expansion Board, connect the other end of the cable to the IN (+5V) port on the Gun Effects Board (G3FX V1).   Place the Tantive IV onto it’s side to allow us to disconnect the lower cannon section, then disassemble this section as shown below:     8.) Take a Red 30cm Bit Light and thread the connector end of the cable all the way through the top of one of the grey cone pieces. Carefully bend the Bit Light so that the LED sits flat against the top of the cone piece, then reconnect grey bar at the bottom before reconnecting it back to the cannon base. Ensure the cable is facing toward the middle.   Repeat this step to install another Red 30cm Bit Light to the other cannon.     9.) Turn the cannon section over to the top side and bring both cables down toward the back before reconnecting it back to the white round brick.   Thread the two cables through the lower compartment of the ship before reconnecting the lower cannons underneath. Flip the ship back over and connect the two bit light cables to OUT ports 3 and 4 of the Gun Effects Board.   The Gun Effects Board has 3 different gun effects, which can be configured via the 3-way switch. The effect used in the product video example is the Cannon (blaster) effect which can be set by flicking the switch to the far right. Turn your USB Power Bank ON and choose your desired effect. Watch the lower cannons fire away. Alternatively, you can set your desired gun effect via flicking to any of the other switch settings.   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.) We will now install the upper cannon lights. Take the upper cannon section and disconnect the top as shown below, then disconnect the two cone pieces.   Using the same method used for the lower cannons, install another 2x Red 30cm Bit Lights to the upper cannons.     11.) Take the bottom section of the upper cannons and disconnect the back   Turn the cannons over and bring both cables down the middle before reconnecting back to the bottom section. Ensuring both cables are laid down the middle and in between studs, reconnect the back section.     12.) Reconnect the upper cannon section to the top of the ship, then lay the two bit light cables down behind to connect to OUT ports 1 and 2 on the Gun Effects Board. Turn the USB Power Bank ON to test both upper and lower cannons 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.   Neaten up excess cables from the Red Bit Lights by grouping them together and twisting/folding them into a neat bunch as shown below:     13.) We will now install lights to the inside of the cabin area. First disconnect the corner table, then disconnect the black plate with bar from underneath. Take a Cool White 30cm Bit Light and with the cable facing the back, stick it underneath the table in the following position using an Adhesive Square. Reconnect the black plate with bar over the top of the cable, then turn the table over and reconnect it to the cabin area.   Turn the Tantive over to the other side and open up the lower compartment. Thread the other end of the Bit Light cable through the following hole of the white technic brick underneath. Thread the cable all the way through to the other side, then turn the Tantive back around and pull the cable all the way out. Connect the Bit Light to the next port on the 12-Port Expansion Board. Turn ON the USB Power Bank to test the light under the table is working OK.   Note: If you experience any issues with the lights not working and suspect an issue with a component, please try a different port on the expansion board to verify where the fault lies (with the light or expansion board). To correct any issues with expansion board ports, please view the section addressing expansion board issues on our online troubleshooting guide.     14.) We will now install some lights to the top section of the cabin. First disconnect the wall section behind the upper cannons, then remove the plates above and underneath the two white angled bricks.   Take 2x Cool White 30cm Bit Lights and with the cables facing behind, place them over the studs of the angled white bricks. Secure them in place by connecting a provided Trans Clear Plate 1×2 over the top. Reconnect this section to the front of the cabin area and then run the cables down behind the wall. Pull out the corner wall section, then bring the cables underneath to connect them to the next available ports on the 12-Port Expansion Board. Turn the USB Power Bank ON to test the 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.     15.) Take the Negative side of the Wireless Power Connector (flat tile) and with the cable facing the front (same way as the Bit Light Cables) connect it over the trans clear plate. Run the cable down behind the wall, then underneath to connect it to the next port on the 12-Port Expansion Board.   Neaten up cabling running down the side by tucking them into the corner, then secure them to the wall using tape. Fold in the corner wall section to secure down all the cables.     16.) We will now install some flashing red lights to the back of the cabin floors.  In order to get to them, follow the below images to disconnect the following sections:   Disconnect the white 1×2 bricks with trans red round plate underneath them from each side. Disconnect the trans red round plates from underneath     17.) Take a Flashing Red 30cm Bit Light and with the cable facing toward the back, place it over the corner stud on the floor of the cabin. Secure the Bit Light in place by reconnecting one of the trans red round plates over the top. Repeat this step to install another Flashing Red 30cm Bit Light to the other side of the cabin floor.   Take the bit light cable from the left side (closest to you) and connect it to the 12-Port Expansion Board.   18.) Turn the Tantive IV over onto it’s left side (pull towards you) and take the bit light cable from the right side and thread it all the way through the following hole of the white technic brick underneath.   Turn the Tantive IV over onto it’s right side and pull the cable all the way out from underneath. Connect the bit light cable to the next available port on the 12-Port Expansion Board.   Turn the USB Power Bank ON to test the flashing red lights on the cabin floor 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.     19.) Take a 30cm Connecting Cable and connect it to the 12-Port Expansion Board. Pull the other end of the cable up in to the cabin, then thread it through the middle section behind, toward the back of the ship. Lay the cable in between studs as shown below before reconnecting one of the white 1×2 bricks over the top. Secure down the white plate on top to close up all gaps.   Reconnect all the sections to the cabin floor which we removed earlier.     20.) We will now neaten up all the messy cables underneath the cabin. Twist and fold the cables into two neat bunches and ensure the bunches are thin, as shown below   Disconnect the lower compartment section, then push the two bunches of cables on the right all the way into the technic brick holes as per below:   Lay the larger bunch of cables (left) from the cannon lights across the middle, toward the back, then place the Gun Effects Board flat up against underneath the cabin floor plate. Place the 12-Port Expansion Board upside down underneath the cabin floor plate (with flat side out). The expansion board should be sitting nicely in between the cabin floor plate and the grey clips. Reconnect the lower compartment section and fold it up to secure all the components and cables neatly inside.     21.)  Remove the spare laser pieces from behind, then disconnect the white 1×4 tile from the back. Lay the other end of the 30cm Connecting Cable inside before reconnecting the white tile over the top. Replace the spare laser pieces.     22.) Take the cabin roof section and disconnect the following dishes before disconnecting each side as shown below:   Disconnect the following pieces from the left section, then take a Cool White 30cm Bit Light and with the cable facing back, place it over the following stud. Secure the Bit Light in place by connecting a provided Trans Clear Round Plate 1×1 over the top.   With the cable laid in between studs, reconnect the sections we removed earlier, then reconnect this left section to the middle.     23.) Take the right section and disconnect the following pieces. Ensuring the cable is facing down, install another Cool White 30cm Bit Light, securing it in place with another provided Trans Clear Round Plate 1×1. Reconnect sections we removed earlier, then reconnect the right section to the middle.     24.) Turn the cabin roof over and connect the two bit light cables to a new 6-Port Expansion Board.   Take the Positive side of the Wireless Power Connector (1×2 plate side) and fold the cable across the top of the plate, in between studs. Connect it to underneath the cabin roof in the below position (with the cable facing inside), then connect the cable to the 6-Port Expansion Board.   Test the wireless power connection by taking the Cabin Roof and connecting it directly on top of the cabin. Ensure the two wireless connectors connect with each other. Turn the USB Power Bank ON and the lights on the cabin roof should illuminate.   Troubleshooting: If the roof lights do not turn ON, check that the wireless power connector cables are correctly connected into the expansion board ports. Ensure both wireless connector positive and negative are in line with each other and that the wireless power connector cables are facing the same way.   Remove the cabin roof again and turn it over. Neaten up the cables by folding and twisting them around each other into a neat bunch. Lay the expansion board and bunched up cables along the middle just above the black plate. Fold the two side sections in, which will secure the cables and expansion board in place. Securely reconnect the cabin roof over the cabin.     25.) We will now install some lights to the side of the Tantive IV, first remove the following sections from each side by pulling them out as shown below.   Turn the ship onto it’s side so we can access underneath and disconnect the technic pin from the bottom of the black technic brick. Turn the ship over and completely remove the radar section by pulling it all the way out.   Continue to disconnect the following pieces on top of the ship.     26.) Take the two side sections we removed earlier and disconnect the front plate from each one.   Take a Cool White 30cm Bit Light and thread the connector end of the cable through the + hole on the front plate from the left section. Pull the cable all the way out from the other side until you can neatly place the Bit Light over the white stud in between the grey pieces. Secure the Bit Light in place by connecting a provided Trans Clear Round Plate 1×1 over the top.   Take the back section from behind and thread the Bit Light cable through top space. Thread the cable through this section and out the middle hole of the red technic brick. Pull the cable all the way out from underneath, then securely reconnect the front plate.   Repeat this step to install another Cool White 30cm Bit Light to the front plate for the right section, securing it in place using another provided Trans Clear Round Plate 1×1. Thread the cable through the top space and out the middle hole of the red technic brick underneath before reconnecting the front plate.     27.) Take the left section and thread the cable through the back of the middle section and underneath the red and yellow technic pieces. Pull the cable all the way out from the front side, then securely reconnect the left section to the side of the ship.   Repeat this step to reconnect the right side section.   Ensure both cables are neatly pulled over and laid in between studs.     28.) Connect the two Cool White Bit Lights as well as the 30cm Connecting Cable from the front side to a new 6-Port Expansion Board. Neaten up the cables by twisting and folding them around each other to form a neat bunch     Take a 5cm Connecting Cable and connect it to the 6-Port Expansion Board. Thread the other end of the cable toward the back, underneath the red and yellow technic bricks, then connect it to the IN port on the Multi Effects Board (side with one port).   Reconnect the white 1×4 tile to the front side of this section as well as the roof of the spare laser section.     29.) We will now install lights to the back jets starting with the bottom jets. Turn the Tantive IV over and disconnect the four jets from the bottom by disconnecting them at the technic pins.   Turn the jet sections over, then remove the barrel sections from each jet. Disassemble the left one as shown below:     30.) Take a White 30cm Bit Light and thread the connector side of the cable through the bottom of the grey round 2×2 plate. Pull the cable all the way out from the other side, then carefully bend the Bit Light on a 90 degree angle so that it sits flat against the edge of the middle hole. Secure the Bit Light in place by reconnecting the trans orange 2×2 rounded plate.   Reconnect the technic bar to the other side of the grey round 2×2 plate, then thread the Bit Light cable through one of the holes in the technic barrel. Pull the cable all the way out from the other side, then reconnect the technic bar ensuring the cable is facing the inside as shown below (toward the middle): Note – Because the LED is installed, it will prevent you from being able to completely push in the technic bar. Do not forcefully push the technic bar all the way in. Doing so will damage the Bit Light.      31.) Repeat previous step to install another 3x White 30cm Bit Lights to each of the remaining bottom jets.     32.) Secure the cable for the far left jet and the far right jet underneath the following sections in the middle.   Turn the Tantive IV back over and disconnect the four upper jet sections from the top of the ship.     33.) Turn the Tantive IV back over to the bottom side and reconnect the far right jet. Thread the Bit Light cable through the top of the following space toward the left of it, then pull the cable all the way out from underneath.   Take the middle jet to the left, and while ensuring the cable is laid up the middle toward the front, reconnect the jet. Thread the Bit Light cable through the same space we threaded the right jet light through, then pull the cable all the way out from underneath.     34.) Repeat the previous step to reconnect the remaining two bottom jets, while threading each of their Bit Light cables through the following space, and pulling them all the way out from underneath.     35.) Turn the Tantive IV back over to the top side and connect the four Bit Light cables from the bottom four jets to a 6-Port Expansion Board.   Take a 15cm Connecting Cable and connect it to the same 6-Port Expansion Board. Take the other end of the cable and thread it through the following space which leads into the middle area where we left the Multi Effects Board. Pull the cable out from the other side and connect it to one of the OUT ports on the Multi Effects Board.   Turn the USB Power Bank ON and configure the rear jets effect by flicking the switch on the Multi Effects Board to the far right for the “Flicker Effect”. Adjust the speed of the flicker by turning the speed wheel. Alternatively you can choose your desired effect by flicking the switch to either the “Pulse” or “Emergency” effect.   Note: If you experience any issues with the lights not working and suspect an issue with a component, please try a different port on the expansion board to verify where the fault lies (with the light or expansion board). To correct any issues with expansion board ports, please view the section addressing expansion board issues on our online troubleshooting guide.     36.) Neaten up the cables from the bottom four jets by folding and twisting them around each other into a neat bunch as shown below:   Use 2x Adhesive Squares to mount the 6-Port Expansion Board to back of the Tantive IV in the following position, then tuck the bunched up cables inside the following space.     37.) Remove the three middle jet sections, then disassemble them as per below:   Take a White 30cm Bit Light and thread the connector side of the cable through the bottom of the grey round 2×2 plate. Pull the cable all the way out from the other side, then carefully bend the Bit Light on a 90 degree angle so that it sits flat against the edge of the plate. Secure the Bit Light in place by reconnecting the trans orange 2×2 rounded plate.   Reconnect the black technic bar to the other side of the grey round 2×2 plate, then thread the Bit Light cable through one of the holes in the technic barrel. Pull the cable all the way out from the other side, then reconnect the technic bar.   Note – Because the LED is installed, it will prevent you from being able to completely push in the technic bar. Do not forcefully push the technic bar all the way in. Doing so will damage the Bit Light.      38.) Reconnect the barrel to the section behind, then bring the cable down and underneath the bottom before reconnecting the jet section to the middle row on the back of the Tantive IV. The cable should be pulled out from underneath and toward the front.   Repeat this step to install 2x White 30cm Bit Lights to the remaining two middle jet sections, then reconnect each one to the each side of the middle jet.     39.) Take the three Bit Light cables from the middle jets and thread them underneath the following technic pieces, pulling them all the way out from the other side. Connect the three cables to an 8-Port Expansion Board   Take the remaining 15cm Connecting Cable and connect it to the next port on the 8-Port Expansion Board. Thread the other end of the cable through the following space which leads into the area where the Multi Effects Board is. Pull the cable all the way out from the other side and connect it to the remaining OUT port on the Multi Effects Board.   Turn the USB Power Bank ON the test the middle jets 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).

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.) Lift up the headlight covers and remove the two headlight sections as shown below.   Take the left headlight and disconnect the trans clear round plates then take a White 15cm Bit Light and with the cable facing down, place it over the top left stud as shown below, with the cable laid in between studs. Secure it in place by reconnecting one of the trans clear round plates over the top.     2.) Take another White 15cm Bit Light and using the same method as in previous step, install it to the top right stud.   Install another 2x White 15cm Bit Lights to the two bottom studs as shown below:     3.) Bring the four Bit Light cables together at the bottom of the headlight section, then twist/wind them around each other 2-3 times to secure the cables together. Ensure you hold the headlights in between your thumb and index finger when twisting the cables to prevent the trans round plates from popping off.     4.) Repeat the above steps to install 4x White 15cm Bit Lights to the right headlight section.     5.) Take the 12-Port Expansion Board and connect all the lights from the two headlight sections to it. Take your 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 8 lights from the headlights are working OK.   Note: If you experience any issues with the lights not working and suspect an issue with a component, please try a different port on the expansion board to verify where the fault lies (with the light or expansion board). To correct any issues with expansion board ports, please view the section addressing expansion board issues on our online troubleshooting guide.   Disconnect the lights and battery pack from the expansion board, then continue to twist wind the cables from each headlight around each other so that the four cables from each headlight become one larger cable.     6.) Take the left headlight section and feed the cables through the space behind it (over the black horizontal technic bar) before securely reconnecting the headlight in place.   Repeat this step to reconnect the right headlight section.     7.) Turn the car over and pull both groups of cables out. Connect the right group of cables to the 12-Port Expansion Board, then feed the expansion board underneath the following middle section. Pull the expansion board out from the other side, then reconnect the left group of cables to it.   Reconnect the AA Battery Pack to the expansion board and turn it ON to test the headlights are all 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.     8.) Disconnect the AA Battery Pack and take 2x 15cm Connecting Cables and connect each one to the 12-Port Expansion Board. Take one of the connecting cables and thread it through the same space where the expansion board is, then bring the cable down and thread it back out to the left side. Connect the connecting cable to a Red Strip Light.   Take a 30cm Connecting Cable and connect it to the other port on the Red Strip Light. Using the Strip Light’s adhesive backing, stick the Strip Light underneath the car in the following position.     9.) Take the other end of the 30cm Connecting Cable and thread it underneath the technic bars. Continue to thread it in between the wheel axis, pulling it out from the other side.   Thread the cable underneath the light grey technic bar, then bring it back over again and thread it through the technic bar hole towards the left. Ensure you tighten the cable as you pull it out from the other side.   Continue to loop the cable back around, threading it through the same hole as before. Ensure you tighten the cable each time you pull it out from the other side. Loop the cable back through a few more times to eliminate excess cable until you have about 4-5cm of cable left, then connect it to a new Red Strip Light.     10.) Take a 5cm Connecting Cable and connect it to the other side of the Red Strip Light, then using it’s adhesive backing, stick the strip light down vertically on the black technic bar in the below position. Connect the other end of the 5cm Connecting Cable to a new Red Strip Light, then connect a new 30cm Connecting Cable to the strip light’s other port.   Using it’s adhesive backing, stick the Red Strip Light vertically onto the black technic bar in the below position. Ensure the 5cm Connecting Cable in between is stretched out to prevent it from dangling down.     11.) Take the other end of the 30cm Connecting Cable and thread it through the hole on top of the technic grey bar, then pull it all the way from the other side out as shown below:   Bring the cable back over the technic bar and thread it through the same hole as before to secure the cable in place. Thread the cable underneath the following technic bars and pull the cable all the way out from from the middle area as shown below: Bring the cable toward the left, underneath the centre bars, then thread the cable through the technic bar hole as shown below. Pull the cable out from the bottom, then bring the cable back over the technic bar and thread it back through the same hole. Connect the cable to a new Red Strip Light.     12.) Take a 5cm Connecting Cable and connect it to the other end of the Red Strip Light from previous step, then using it’s adhesive backing, stick the strip light vertically to the  below position.   Connect the other end of the 5cm Connecting Cable to a new Red Strip Light. Take a new 15cm Connecting Cable and connect it to the strip light’s other port, then using it’s adhesive backing, stick the strip light vertically to the below position close to the rear wheel.       13.) Take the other end of the 15cm Connecting Cable from previous step and thread it underneath the grey technic piece, then pull it all the way out from the other side. Thread the cable down the space on the right of the wheel that leads to the inside of the trunk.   Flip the Porsche back around and open the trunk and locate the other end of the connecting cable. Pull the cable all the way up and connect it to an 8-Port Expansion Board.   Take the AA Battery Pack and connect the battery pack cable to the 8-Port Expansion Board, then place it inside the trunk. Turn it ON to test all the red strip 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.     14.) Close the trunk, then flip the car back over again and locate the other end of the second 15cm Connecting Cable we connected to the 12-Port Expansion Board (step. 8).   Thread the cable underneath the wheel axis, then through the hole of the grey technic piece as shown below:   Thread the cable down the following space which leads to the inside of the driver side. Open the driver door and pull the cable all the way out.   Flip the car back over and connect the other end of the cable to the IN port on the NC Push Board.     15.) We will now disconnect the roof at the following sections.   Follow the below images to disconnect technic pins in order for us to lift up the roof.     16.) Take a 30cm Connecting Cable and connect it to the OUT port on the NC Push Board. Using it’s adhesive backing, stick the NC Push Board to the following position of the driver doorway. We need to ensure that when we close the driver door, it will push in the trigger on the NC Push Board.   Lay the other end of the 30cm Connecting Cable across the right, then thread it up behind the driver’s seat and up in between the white horizontal bar. Pull the cable out from the top, then thread it through the following hole on the side of the roof as show below:   Connect the cable to a White Strip Light, then using it’s adhesive backing, stick the strip light underneath the roof in the following position:     17.) Push the roof back down, then reconnect everything back in place by pushing in the pins we pulled out earlier.   Turn ON the Battery Pack and test the NC Push Board function. When you open the driver door, the interior light should turn activate. When closing the door, the interior light should deactivate.   Troubleshooting step: If you’re interior light is not functioning correctly, check that the NC Push Board is correctly mounted so that the trigger is pushed when the door is closed. You may need to adjust the positioning of the Board.     18.) Flip the car back over with the rear of the car facing toward you. Take the remaining Red Strip Light and connect a 15cm Connecting Cable to it. Using it’s adhesive backing, stick the Strip Light horizontally underneath the car in the following position.   Thread the other end of the 15cm Connecting Cable down the space behind which leads to the inside of the trunk of the car.   Flip the Porsche back around, open the trunk. Locate the other end of the connecting cable, then pull it all the way out and connect it to the 8-port Expansion Board.   Turn the Battery Pack ON to test the rear Red Strip Light is working OK.   Note: If you experience any issues with the lights not working and suspect an issue with a component, please try a different port on the expansion board to verify where the fault lies (with the light or expansion board). To correct any issues with expansion board ports, please view the section addressing expansion board issues on our online troubleshooting guide.     19.) We will now install the tail lights. First disconnect each tail light section by pulling it out at the technic pin as shown below.   Take left tail light section and disassemble it as shown below   Take a White 15cm Bit Light and thread the connector end through the left hole on the black technic plate. Thread the cable all the way through until you have approx. 2cm from the Bit Light to the edge of the plate.   Ensuring the cable is placed to the side of the + hole, reconnect the light grey technic pin. Bring the Bit Light underneath the pin toward the left side as shown below:   Reconnect the trans red piece, then from the back of this section, push the Bit Light in so that it securely fits inside the trans red plate.     20.) Take another White 15cm Bit Light and thread the connector end through the right + hole on the black technic plate. Thread it all the way through leaving approx. 2cm from the Bit Light to the edge of the plate. With the cable on the left side of the + hole, reconnect the light grey technic pin with black section connected.   Bring the Bit Light underneath the light grey technic pin to the right side, then reconnect the trans red plate. From the back of this section, push the Bit Light in so that it securely fits inside the trans red plate.     21.) Install another 2x White 15cm Bit Lights to the right tail light section, using the same method used to install lights to the left tail light section.     22.) Take both tail light sections and connect all four bit light cables to the 8-Port Expansion Board inside the trunk of the car. Turn the Battery Pack ON to test the tail lights are all 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.     23.) Disconnect the tail lights, then twist the two cables from each tail light section around each other all the way to the ends to form one larger cable.   Take the left tail light section and thread the cable through the rear left side of the car before reconnecting the tail light section at the technic pin.   Pull the other end of the cable all the way up from the inside of the trunk and connect them to the 8-Port Expansion Board.   Repeat this step for the right tail light section.     24.)

Important things to note:

Laying cables in between and underneath bricks

Cables can fit in between and underneath LEGO® bricks, plates, and tiles providing they are laid correctly between the LEGO® studs. Do NOT forcefully join LEGO® together around cables; instead ensure they are laying comfortably in between each stud.

CAUTION: Forcing LEGO® to connect over a cable can result in damaging the cable and light.

Connecting cable connectors to Expansion Boards

Take extra care when inserting connectors to ports of Expansion Boards. Connectors can be inserted only one way. With the expansion board facing up, look for the soldered “=” symbol on the left side of the port. The connector side with the wires exposed should be facing toward the soldered “=” symbol as you insert into the port. If a plug won’t fit easily into a port connector, do not force it.

Incorrectly inserting the connector can can result in bent pins inside the port or possible overheating of the expansion board when connected.

Connecting cable connectors to Strip Lights

Take extra care when inserting connectors to ports on the Strip Lights. Connectors can be inserted only one way. With the Strip Light facing up, ensure the side of the connector with the wires exposed is facing down. If a plug won’t fit easily into a port connector, don’t force it. Doing so will damage the plug and the connector.

Connecting micro cable connectors to Micro Expansion Board Ports

Take extra care when inserting the micro connectors to micro ports of Micro Expansion Boards. Connecting Micro Bit Lights to Micro Expansion Boards is similar to connecting lights and cables to Strip Lights. With the expansion board facing up, ensure the side of the connector with the wires exposed is facing down. If a plug won’t fit easily into a port connector, do not force it. Use your fingernail to push the plastic part of the connector to the micro port.

Installing Bit Lights under LEGO® bricks and plates.

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

 

OK, Let’s Begin!

  1.) We will start by lighting up the front entrance. First disconnect the cherry bombs on either side as well as the two light sections surrounding the entrance.     2.) Take the left light section and disconnect the following pieces as well as trans clear round plates:   Take a White 15cm Bit Light and with the cable facing down, place it over the far left stud on this section. Secure the Bit Light in place by reconnecting one of the trans clear round plates over the top.     3.) Repeat previous step to install another 5x White 15cm Bit Lights to this section as shown below:     Fold the cables down at the edge of the yellow plates, then reconnect the pieces we removed earlier. Folding the cables down will prevent them from snapping when you reconnect pieces over the top. Ensure the cables underneath plates are laid in between studs.     4.) Take a 12-Port Expansion Board and connect all six cables to it. Take a USB Power Cable and connect it to the expansion board, then connect the other end of it to your USB Power Bank (sold separately). Turn the power bank ON to test all 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.   Disconnect the USB Power Cable from the expansion board, then turn the light section over and bring all six cables together and twist/wind them around each other closest to the top. Continue to twist/wind the cables all the way to the end so they come together to form a larger neat cable.     5.) Take 3x 30cm Connecting Cables and connect one end of each of them to the 12-port Expansion Board.   Take a Flicker Effects Board and connect a 5cm Connecting Cable to the IN port. Connect the other end of the cable to the 12-port expansion board.     6.) Take the other of the last 30cm Connecting Cable connected to the 12-port expansion board and thread it through the left side of the entrance space. Pull it out from the other side and pull it all the way up behind the left “boxing glove”. Secure the cable underneath the bottom of the “Joker” sign by looping it around the frame a few times. Reconnect the left light section of the entrance using the clip on top as shown below:     Thread the other two 30cm Connecting Cables all the way through the entrance, then hide the expansion board and effects board toward the inside left.     7.) Repeat steps 2- 3 to install another 6x White 15cm Bit Lights to the right entrance light section.     8.) Take an 8-Port Expansion Board and connect all six bit light cables to it. Take your USB Power Cable and connect it to the expansion board, then connect the other end to your USB Power Bank to test the lights on this side are working OK.   Note: If you experience any issues with the lights not working and suspect an issue with a component, please try a different port on the expansion board to verify where the fault lies (with the light 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 USB Power Cable from the expansion board, then turn the light section over and bring all six cables together and twist/wind them around each other closest to the top. Continue to twist/wind the cables all the way to the end so they come together to form a larger neat cable.     9.) Take a new 30cm Connecting Cable and connect it to the 8-port expansion board. Thread the other end of the cable through the entrance before reconnecting this right side section to the front of the building.   Turn the Joker Manor around to the back side and pull the other end of the 30cm Connecting Cable out and feed it toward the left underneath the roller coaster track. Connect the cable to a new 12-Port Expansion Board then connect the USB power Cable (connected to the USB Power Bank) to the expansion board.     10.) To make the installation of the lights to the back easier, disconnect the following roller coaster track sections.     11.) Pull out the other end of one of the 30cm Connecting Cables from the left entrance light section (12-port expansion board) and thread it through the space on the right over the fire place. Pull the cable all the way out then thread it behind the piano and white bust as shown below:   Take a 6-Port Expansion Board and connect the other end of the 30cm Connecting Cable to it.     12.) Take the other end of the other 30cm Connecting Cable from the left entrance light section (12-port expansion board) and pull it out and thread it over right side of the ceiling technic pieces (grey gears) directly above.  Pull the cable all the way out over the technic pieces as shown below.   Thread the cable through over the technic pieces (grey gears) on the left side as shown below. Pull the cable down all the way out over the left side behind the first yellow mirror. Take caution when threading the cable over the technic gears. Ensure the cable is laid out of the way of the gear teeth as we don’t want the cable getting caught when we operate the boxing gloves function.   Connect the 30cm Connecting Cable to the 8-port Expansion Board nearby, then tuck the expansion board behind the mirror to the left.   Turn your USB Power Bank ON to test all the lights at the front entrance 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.     13.) We will now light up the cherry bombs on either side of the front entrance. First take the left bomb and disassemble the top spark pieces as shown below:   Take a White 30cm Bit Light and thread the connector end of the cable through the top of one of the trans orange round plates with open stud. Thread it all the way through, then carefully bend the LED so that it sits flat against the edge of the stud.   Reconnect a trans orange round plate with open stud on top, then connect the remaining trans orange round plate with open stud to the bottom. Reconnect the sausage piece to the bottom, then reconnect the branch piece to the top.   Reconnect this spark section to the bomb ensuring the cable is facing away from the spark (toward the right of the bomb) then twist the cable to the left around the sausage piece. Remove the following pieces on the back of the bomb, then lay the cable all the way down before reconnecting the pieces over the top of the cable.     14.) Repeat the previous step to install White 30cm Bit Light to the right cherry bomb.   Reconnect this spark section to the bomb ensuring the cable is facing away from the spark (toward the left of the bomb) then twist the cable to the right around the sausage piece. Remove the following pieces on the back of the bomb, then lay the cable all the way down before reconnecting the pieces over the top of the cable.     15.) Take both cherry bombs and thread their Bit Light cable all the way through the side of the entrance underneath the light sections before reconnecting the bombs to the set.   Turn the set around to the back, then pull both cables from the cherry bombs all the way out. Connect each cable to the OUT ports on the Flicker Effects Board.   Turn your USB Power Bank ON to test the bomb spark lights are 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, expansion board, or effects board). To correct any issues with expansion board ports, please view the section addressing expansion board issues on our online troubleshooting guide.   Disconnect the USB Power Cable and Power Bank from the expansion board at the back as we will require these to test lights we are about to install to the front of the building.     16.) We will now light up the Joker Sign at the front of the building. Disconnect the sign, then disconnect the following trans yellow round plates from the borders (every second one).   Disconnect the top left pink plate, then take a Flashing White 30cm Bit Light and with the cable facing the left side, place the LED directly over the pink stud. Secure the Bit Light in place by reconnecting one of the trans yellow round plates over the top.   Fold the cable underneath the plate then reconnect the plate to the sign ensuring the cable is laid in between studs underneath.     17.) Disconnect the pink plate to the right, then using the same method in the previous step, install another Flashing White 30cm Bit Light. When reconnecting the pink plate, lay the cable behind the “J”     18.) Repeat previous steps install another 5x Flashing White 30cm Bit Lights at the following sections. Ensure the cables are folded underneath each plate facing the inside of the sign before reconnecting them.     19.) Connect the seven flashing lights installed so far to a new 12-Port Expansion Board. Connect the USB Power Cable to the expansion board and connect up the usb power bank. Turn the USB Power Bank ON to test the flashing lights 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.     20.) Disconnect the lights from the 12-port expansion board, then turn the Joker sign over as we will now neaten up the wires. Lay out the top left corner wires as shown below (one to each side), then disconnect the black plate on the top of the sign. Lay the cable going across the right in between studs before reconnecting the plate over the top as shown below:   Disconnect the green 2×4 plate and lay the right wire down underneath before reconnecting the green plate over the top.   Disconnect the following pieces from the back of the Joker Sign then lay the next two wires to the right down, before reconnecting the pieces over the top. Ensure all wires are laid in the middle of the pieces and in between studs.     21.) Disconnect the black plate on the left side of the sign. Lay the wire on the left side down then reconnect the black plate ensuring you secure the wire in between studs as shown below:   Repeat the same process to hide and secure the wire on the right side underneath the black plate.   Turn the Joker Sign back over. There should be no dangling wires shown.     22.) We will now install flashing lights with shorter cables to the remaining bottom section. Using the same method as above, install 3x Flashing White 15cm Bit Lights as per below:     23.) Turn the Joker Sign over. Secure the following 4 wires underneath the bottom black plate as shown below, ensuring the two on each side are laid in between studs.   Take the two lots of wires and twist/wind them around each other all the way to their ends so they come together to form one larger cable.     24.) Disconnect the black plate on the right side, then lay the six wires down in between studs before reconnecting the black plate over the top.   Group the six wires and twist/wind them around each other all the way to their ends so they come together to form one larger cable.     25.) Take the 12-Port Expansion Board from step 18 and connect the four light cables on the left side to it. Once connected, twist/wind the excess cables around each other as shown below:   Connect the six light cables from the right side to the expansion board, then connect up the USB Power Cable to connect to your USB Power Bank. Turn on the power bank to test all 10 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).

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.

Pull the other end of the 15cm Connecting Cable from the strip light out from the other side (left side).   Turn the AA Battery Pack ON to test the white strip light is working OK.     13.) Remove the entire roof off the great hall at each side as shown below, then thread the other end of the 15cm Connecting Cable from previous step through the archway nearby. Pull the cable all the way out, then place the expansion board inside the top of the front entrance.   Secure the dangling cable from the inside of the tower ground floor by connecting it underneath the base plate of the second floor as shown below:     14.) We will now light the tower section of the set, starting with the ground floor. We will be using trans clear 2×2 with rounded bottom plates to secure bit lights to the roof of each floor.   First take a White 30cm Bit Light and thread the bit light through the top where the front entrance roof is. Thread the bit light down so that it comes through to the ground floor. Take a provided Trans Clear Plate w Rounded Bottom 2×2 and place the LED component of the Bit Light in the centre of the plate. Ensuring the bit light is facing down, connect the trans clear plate to the roof of the ground floor in the below position:   Bring the other end of the Bit Light cable over and tuck it into the side of the roof section. Connect it to the 6-port expansion board above the front entrance, then turn the AA Battery Pack ON to test the ground floor 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.     15.) We will now light the second floor of the tower. First disconnect the top section just above the second floor using a LEGO Removal Tool, then place the top section onto it’s front so we can access underneath.   Take a White 30cm Bit Light and with the cable facing the right, place the LED underneath this section in the centre position as shown below. Ensuring the LED is facing down, secure it in place by connecting a provided Trans Clear Plate w Rounded Bottom 2×2 over the top.     16.) Lay the cable down in between the indent, then reconnect the tower on top of the second floor. Bring the cable from the bit light down the right side of the tower and connect it to the next available port on the 6-port Expansion board. Turn the AA Battery Pack ON to test all lights 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.     17.) Use the LEGO removal tool to disconnect the tower roof section from the top of the third floor. Turn this section over onto it’s front so we can access underneath it as shown below:   Take a White 30cm Bit Light and with the cable facing the right, place the LED underneath this section in the middle position as shown below. Ensuring the LED is facing down, secure it in place by connecting a provided Trans Clear Plate w Rounded Bottom 2×2 over the top.     18.) Lay the cable down in between the following indent, then reconnect the tower on top of the second floor. Bring the cable from the bit light down the right side of the tower and connect it to the next available port on the 6-port Expansion board. Turn the AA Battery Pack ON to test all lights 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.     18.) We will now install a spot light inside the roof section to shine up onto an object. In this case have chosen to place the Owl here instead of Fawkes the phoenix. First, remove this whole section at the 4×4 dark grey plate, then disconnect the black 1×4 tile as we will be connecting our spotlight here. (If wish to keep the mirror of erised here, then leave this tile connected as you can place the spotlight on the front edge instead).     19.) Take out the following provided pieces, then build them into a spot light as shown below:
  • Black Tile 1×1 with Clip 
  • Black 1×1 Modified Plate Rounded with Handle 
  • Black Plate 1×2 modified with stud jumper
  Take a provided Black Round Plate 1×1 with open stud and thread the connector end of a White 30cm Bit Light through the base of it (larger hole). Thread the bit light all the way through then slightly bend the Bit Light so that it sits flat against the inside of the stud.       20.) Connect the top of the black round stud to the  spot light we assembled earlier, then thread the cable through the space of the plate with handle. Pull the cable all the way out from the back of the spot light, then connect the spot light in the following position so that it is pointing up to the Owl.     21.) Pull the right side of the roof out, then thread the cable from the spot light we installed inside the tower and through the gap on the right side. Thread it all the way through and pull it out from the gap in between the back and right roof section. Carefully reconnect the 4×4 dark grey plate ensuring the bit light cable is neatly laid in between the brown and grey brick as shown below.   If you prefer the spotlight to shine up onto the mirror of erised, connect the spot light to the brown brick in front as shown below:     22.) Bring the cable from the spot light down the right side of the tower and connect it to the remaining port on the 6-Port Expansion Board. Turn the AA Battery Pack on the test all lights in the tower are working OK.   Neaten the cables going down the side of the tower by first grouping the three cables together at the bottom of the tower. Slightly disconnect the dark tan plate on the right corner, then tuck the three cables underneath and pull the cables up from the other side to eliminate excess cables from the outside of the tower. Reconnect the plate at the corner as shown below:   23.) Bring all the cables and expansion board inside the front entrance roof section. Ensure the cables are brought through the right side of the dark grey plate. Neaten up the cables by twisting/folding them around each other a few times to form a neat bunch. Tuck the bunch of cables along with the expansion board inside the roof section before folding down the right side of the roof to secure everything in place.   Secure the cables running down the side of the tower using sticky tape.     24.) Take 2x Adhesive Squares and stick them to the back of the 6-Port Expansion Board at the bottom of the tower. Mount the expansion board to the base of the ground floor underneath the stair case, then secure the cables underneath the dark grey tile as shown below:     25.) We will now light up the fireplace and candles inside the great hall. First disconnect the following table, then follow the images below to disconnect sections to remove the entire fire place.   Remove the following black brick from the fireplace, then take a White 30cm Bit Light and with the cable facing the back, place it over the right stud, where the flame was connected to. Disconnect the flame piece from the black round plate, then use this round plate to secure the Bit Light down.     26.) Repeat the previous step to install another White 30cm Bit Light to the stud on the left, then while ensuring both cables are laid in between the brown studs behind, reconnect the black piece we removed earlier, along with the surrounding fireplace hood section.   Take the two flame pieces and carefully snip off the tip ends of each piece using a pair of scissors. This will allow us to then reconnect them to the black round plates with bit lights underneath.     27.)  Take the two cables from behind the fireplace and thread them up the following gap in the ceiling. Pull the two cables all the way out from the top, then reconnect the fireplace.   Secure the two cables in between studs underneath the following angled roof brick, then pull the cables back inside as shown below:     28.) Reconnect the left roof section above the entrance, then bring the 15cm connecting cable from this side across to the right and connect it to the IN port on the Flicker Effects Board.   Take the two Bit Light cables from the fireplace and connect each cable to the OUT ports on the Flicker Effects Board. Turn ON the AA Battery Pack to test the fireplace lights are working OK with the flicker effect.   Note: If you experience any issues with the lights not working and suspect an issue with a component, please try a different port on the expansion board to verify where the fault lies (with the light, expansion board, or effects board). To correct any issues with expansion board ports, please view the section addressing expansion board issues on our online troubleshooting guide.   Reconnect the table we removed earlier     29.) We will now light up the candles on the roof. First disconnect this section by pulling them out at the technic brick holes, then disconnect the candle and flame pieces as shown below:   Take out a White Micro 15cm Bit Light and carefully bend the LED back as shown in the below image.   Thread the Bit Light into the hole of the candle piece as shown below, then reconnect the flame piece. We want the LED to be as close to the flame tip as possible therefore, threading the cable all the way to the end of the hole is not necessary.     30.) Reconnect the candle to the roof frame, then repeat previous process to install another 3x White Micro 15cm Bit Lights to the remaining 3x candles.     31.) Reconnect the candle frame section to the Great Hall roof, then thread each candle light cable through the following holes of the black technic brick above.     32.) Connect each Micro Bit Light to the ports on the Micro 4-Port Expansion Board. Ensure you follow the below images to ensure you are connecting the light cables into each port correctly.   Take a 5cm Connecting Cable and connect it to one of the larger ports on the Micro 4-Port Expansion Board. Connect the other end of the connecting cable to the remaining OUT port on the flicker effects board. Turn the AA Battery Pack ON to test the candle lights are working OK with the flickering effect.   Note: If you experience any issues with the lights not working and suspect an issue with a component, please try a different port on the expansion board to verify where the fault lies (with the light, expansion board, or effects board). To correct any issues with expansion board ports, please view the section addressing expansion board issues on our online troubleshooting guide.     33.) Turn the set over to the front, then take 4x Adhesive Squares and stick two to the back of the Flicker Effects Board, and another two to the back of the Micro 4-Port Expansion Board. Mount the two boards to the right side of the black technic brick as shown below:   Neaten up the wiring by grouping the two bit light cables from the fireplace and twisting/folding them around each other into a neat bunch. Tuck the bunched up cables through the archway space on the right, then pull the micro bit light cables toward the right side as shown below. Do your best prevent any wiring from dangling down and being seen from the inside of the hall.   The last step is to reconnect the main roof section.

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.) First remove the left section of the village by disconnecting it at the bridge. Take the main section of the village and turn it onto it’s back so we can access underneath.   Take 2x Green Strip Lights and using their adhesive backing, stick them onto the bases of the provided 2x Plate 1×6.   Connect the two strip lights together using a 15cm Connecting Cable then take another 15cm Connecting Cable and connect it to the right strip light’s other port.   2.) Take another 15cm Connecting Cable and connect it to the left strip light’s other port, then mount both strip lights underneath the village in the following positions.   Secure the 15cm Connecting Cable connected between the two strip lights underneath the following plates by first disconnecting them, then reconnecting them over the cables ensuring they are carefully laid in between studs. Tuck any remaining excess cable from the 15cm cable up into the space toward the left of the left strip light, then flip the set back over.     3.) Turn the set around to the back, then take the other end of the 15cm connecting cable and connect it to a 6-port Expansion Board. Connect the USB power Cable to the end port on the expansion board, then connect it up to your USB Power Bank (sold separately) to test the green strip lights are working OK.   Note: If you experience any issues with the lights not working and suspect an issue with a component, please try a different port on the expansion board to verify where the fault lies (with the light or expansion board). To correct any issues with expansion board ports, please view the section addressing expansion board issues on our online troubleshooting guide.     4.) Take a 30cm Connecting Cable and connect it to a spare port on the expansion board, then bring it up and thread it all the way through the space behind C3PO’s throne.   Open the secret door behind the tree and place the expansion board inside. With the connecting cables laid out the top and USB cable laid down the bottom, close the door. Secure both connecting cables and prevent them from dangling down by laying them underneath the following tree section.   Take the other end of the 30cm Connecting Cable and connect it to a 8-Port Expansion Board     5.) Turn the village set back around to the front as we will now install lights to the upper parts of the tree starting with the right side.   Take a Green 30cm Bit Light and thread the connector end of the cable through the top of the following hole on the right tree branch. Thread it all the way through then carefully bend the LED component so that it sits flat against the top edge of the hole.   Thread the other side of the cable through the back, then pull it all the way out from the other side, then secure the cable by laying it underneath the branch section above. Ensure the cable is neatly laid in between LEGO studs.     6.) Take another Green 30cm Bit Light and thread the connector end of the cable through the top of the following hole on the right tree branch. Thread it all the way through, thread the other side of the cable through the space underneath and pull it all the way out from the other side.   Carefully bend the LED component so that it sits flat against the top edge of the hole.   Repeat the previous 2 steps to install another 2x Green 30cm Bit Lights to the tree section in the following positions.     7.) Turn the village around the back and group all four green bit light cables together on the right side. Connect the lights to the 8-Port Expansion Board below, then turn the USB Power Bank ON to test the green tree 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.   Disconnect the four lights from the expansion board, then twist/wind the cables around each other at the top of the tree trunk. Secure the cable from the left side underneath the following LEGO piece.   Continue to twist/wind the four cables around each all the way to the end so they all come together to form one larger cable.   Reconnect the Bit Light cables to the 8-port expansion board, then wind any excess cable around the larger cable.   Secure the bit light cables to the right side of the tree using tape. This will prevent the cables from being seen from the front of the set.     8.) Turn the set back around to the front as we will now install another two green lights to the middle tree. First disconnect the following tree section.   Take a Green 30cm Bit Light and thread it through the top of the following hole on the right side. Thread it all the way through, then carefully bend the LED component so that it sits flat against the edge of the hole. Bring the cable behind toward the back.   Take another Green 30cm Bit Light and thread it through the top of the following hole on the left side. Thread it all the way through, then carefully bend the LED component so that it sits flat against the edge of the hole. Bring the cable behind toward the back.   Reconnect the set of tree branches that we removed earlier.     9.) Turn the set around to the back and bring the cable on the right over to the left side, then twist/wind the two cables around each other all the way to the end so they come together forming a larger cable.   Connect the two lights to the 8-port expansion board below, then turn ON the USB Power Bank to test the lights we have just installed 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.) Bring the two green bit light cables we just installed, inside the tree, then secure them underneath the following section.   Hide the cables underneath behind C3PO’s throne, then neatly place the 8-port expansion board behind the brown railing.     Take the other end of the 15cm Connecting Cable from the Green Strip Light closest to the middle of the set and thread it through to the back of the set. Turn the set around to the back and connect the 15cm connecting cable to a new 6-Port Expansion Board     11.) Turn the set back around to the front as we will install a few more green lights to the tree on the left. First disconnect the flying Ewok, then follow the same methods used in previous steps to install another 3x Green 30cm Bit Lights to this tree.     12.) Turn the set around to the back and bring the cable on the left toward the right and secure them underneath the following two sections as shown below:   Group the three cables near the top of the lower tree branch and twist/wind the cables around each other other all the way to the end so they come together forming one larger cable.   Thread the cables through the gaps in between the tree and brown railings, then connect them to the 6-port expansion board below. Turn ON the USB Power Bank to test the three green 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.   Wind the excess cables closest to the expansion board around the larger cable.     13.) Take a 50cm Connecting Cable and connect it to the 6-port expansion board. Bring the cable around to the front and thread it through the bottom of the tree platform, then pull it all the way out as shown below:   Bring the set around to the back again, then take 2x Adhesive Squares and stick them to the back of the 6-port Expansion Board. Mount the expansion board underneath the tree platform, then wind any excess cable from the 15cm connecting cable on the right, around the brown railing.     Secure the green bit light cables to the right side of the tree using tape. This will avoid cables being seen from the front of the set.     14.) We will now light up all the fire torches around the village starting with the right side. Disconnect the two torches on either side of the right tree, then disconnect the flame pieces from them as shown below:   Take a White 30cm Bit Light and carefully bend the cable up on a 90 degree angle. Turn the Bit Light upside down over the top of a provided Trans Orange Round Plate 1×1 with Open Stud. Hold the Bit Light in place with your thumb and index finger, then connect the trans orange plate upside down over one of the brown torch pieces while securing the Bit Light in place. Ensure the cable is facing the back of the torch.   Disconnect the black plate from the bottom of the torch section, then bring the cable around the front and thread it in between the clips leading out the back. Reconnect the bottom piece securing the cable in place, then reconnect the flame piece on top of the torch.     15.) Repeat the previous step to install another White 30cm Bit Light to the other fire torch using another provided Trans Orange Round Plate 1×1 with Open Stud. Reconnect both fire torches to the tree, then turn the set around to the back and pull out both cables.     16.) Turn the set back around to the front and disconnect the fire pit section from the black plate as shown below. Disconnect the four flame pieces, then rotate the clips so they are directly facing the four sides.   Take an Orange 30cm Bit Light and stick the LED component to an Adhesive Square. Stick the Bit Light to one of the corners, then tuck the cable in underneath the clip as shown below:   Using another Adhesive Square, stick another Orange 30cm Bit Light to the next corner of the black plate, then tuck the cable underneath the clip behind.   Install one more Orange 30cm Bit Light using another Adhesive Square to the next corner to the right, ensuring the cable is facing the same way as the others.     17.) Turn the black plate around to the back, then group the three cables and wind/twist them around each other to secure them in place. Reconnect all four flame pieces, then slightly bend them down on an angle to prevent the Bit Lights from being too visible.   Reconnect the plate back to the tree platform, then thread the cables though to the back. Disconnect the right side of the rotisserie and bring the cables inside before reconnecting it.     18.) Turn the set around to the back and connect all five cables from the lights we have just installed to a new 6-Port Expansion Board. Connect a 5cm Connecting Cable to the remaining port, then connect the other end of the cable to one of the OUT ports on a Flicker Effects Board.   Take another 5cm Connecting Cable and connect it to the OUT port on the Flicker Effects Board, then connect the other end of the cable to the remaining port on the 8-Port Expansion Board nearby (The expansion board where we connected the green bit lights to).   Turn ON the USB Power Bank to test the lights we have installed so far 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, expansion board, or effects board). To correct any issues with expansion board ports, please view the section addressing expansion board issues on our online troubleshooting guide.     19.) Disconnect the five flickering lights from the 6-port expansion board, then group them together at the edge of the platform and twist/wind them around each other to lock them in place. Bring cables from both sides underneath the platform, then continue to twist/wind the cables around each other all the way to the ends so they come together forming one larger cable.   Thread the cables down through the space between the tree and the brown rail, then reconnect all five cables back to the 6-port expansion board. Wind any excess cable around the group of cables then continue to fold and twist the cables so they form a neat bunch as shown below:     20.) We will now light up the fire torches surrounding C3PO’s throne. From the back of the set, disconnect the four fire torches, then disassemble them as shown below:   Take one of the White 15cm Micro Bit Lights and thread the LED side of the cable up the bottom end of one of the brown fire torch pieces. Thread the bit light to the top, but ensure the LED does not go up past the first section of the inside of the torch piece. (It is extremely important that the Bit Light is not sticking too far out of the brown torch piece otherwise the cable will snap when you reconnect the flame piece)   Reconnect the torch pole underneath to prevent the light cable from slipping out, then reconnect one of the flame pieces.   Repeat this step to install another White 15cm Micro Bit Light to the other larger fire torch, then reconnect both torches to the back of the throne. (It is extremely important that the Bit Light is not sticking too far out of the brown torch piece otherwise the cable will snap when you reconnect the flame piece)     21.) Take another White 15cm Micro Bit Light and carefully bend the cable up on a 90 degree angle near the LED. Thread the LED component through the hole on the top of the torch base as shown below, then reconnect the flame piece to secure the micro bit light in place.   Repeat this step to install another White 15cm Micro Bit Light to the other fire torch, then reconnect the two torches to the back of the throne.     22.) Take the Micro 4 Port Expansion Board and connect the four micro bit lights to it. Ensure you are carefully connecting them the correct way. Use the below images as a guide.     Take a 5cm Connecting Cable and connect one side to the larger port on the Micro 4-Port Expansion Board. Connect the other side of the 5cm cable to one of the OUT ports on the Flicker Effects Board nearby.   Turn ON the USB Power Bank to test for four flickering lights we have just installed are working OK     23.) Group the four micro bit light cables and twist/fold them around each other into a neat bunch.   Use 2x Adhesive Squares to mount the 6-Port Expansion Board towards the far left side underneath the tree platform in the following position:   Tuck the bunched up cables inside underneath the tree platform in between the tree and rail.   Use Adhesive Squares (2 for each expansion board) to mount the 8-Port Expansion Board and Micro 4-Port Expansion Board underneath the tree platform in the following positions:     24.) We will now light up the fire torches to the left of C3PO. Disconnect the torches from either side of the tree hut and using the same method used in step 14 to install another 2x White 30cm Bit Lights to the two fire torches using another 2x provided Trans Orange Round Plate 1×1 with Open Stud.   Reconnect both torches to either side of the tree hut, then bring both cables out toward the back. Turn the set around to the back and connect the two bit light cables to a new 6-Port Expansion Board.   25.) Disconnect the fire pit from this section, then disconnect the flame pieces.   Take an Orange 30cm Bit Light and using an Adhesive Square, mount it to the centre of the black tiles as shown below, then reconnect one of the flame pieces.   Take another Orange 30cm Bit Light and using an Adhesive Square, mount it to the dark grey stud toward the left, then reconnect the remaining flame piece.   Turn the fire pit around to the back and reconnect it inside the tree hut.     26.) Connect the two orange bit lights along with a new 5cm Connecting Cable to the 6-Port Expansion Board. Bring the cables along with the expansion board around to the left side, then connect the other end of the 5cm cable to the remaining OUT port on the Flicker Effects Board.   Turn ON the USB Power Bank to test that all flickering lights 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, expansion board, or effects board). To correct any issues with expansion board ports, please view the section addressing expansion board issues on our online troubleshooting guide.     27.) Disconnect the 5cm cable from the 6-port expansion board from previous step, then group together the four bit light cables directly underneath the platform. Twist/wind the cables around each other to lock them in place, then continue to twist them around each other all the way to the end. Wind any excess cable around the larger group of cables, then reconnect the 5cm cable to the expansion board.   Use 2x Adhesive Squares to mount the flicker effects board behind C3PO’s throne as shown below:   Use another 2x Adhesive Squares to mount the 6-port expansion board from previous step to the right of the flicker effects board as shown below:   Neaten up cabling by twisting/folding any excess cable, then secure the cable to the back of the tree platform using tape. Do your best to prevent any cables from dangling down and being seen from the front of the set.     28.) We will light up the remaining fire torch on the left side of the village. Disconnect this torch follow the same method used in step 14 to install another White 30cm Bit Light to this torch using another provided Trans Orange Round Plate 1×1 with Open Stud.   Before we reconnect the torch to the side of the hut, ensure you lay the cable through the clips differently this time as this torch is facing the opposite direction.     29.) Bring the cable around to the back and thread the cable down inside the brown rails, then connect it to a 2-Port Expansion Board.   Take a 30cm Connecting Cable and connect it to 2-Port Expansion Board, then bring the other end of the cable around to the left side behind the tree logs and connect it to the remaining port on the 6-Port Expansion Board on the right of the flicker effects board.   Hide the 30cm connecting cable underneath the tree platforms, then stick the 2-port Expansion Board underneath the tree platform on the right using another 2x Adhesive Squares.   Twist/wind/fold excess cable from the white 30cm bit light, then tuck it inside the brown railing.   Secure the cable to the side of the tree using the same tape we used to secure the other bit light cables from step 11. Use extra tape as required to do your best to secure the cables as close to the inside of the tree hut as possible to prevent them from being seen from the front of the set.       30.) We will now install lights to the left section of the village. First, take a Green 30cm Bit Light and thread the connector side of the cable through the following hole on top of the tree branches. Thread it all the way through, then slightly bend the LED component so that it sits flat against the edge of the hole.   Repeat the same process to install another Green 30cm Bit Light to the right side of the tree.     31.)  Disconnect the following tree section toward the middle, then install another Green 30cm Bit Light to the following hole underneath before reconnecting the tree section.     32.) Take Luke Skywalker and disconnect his lightsaber to replace with the provided Light My Bricks Green Lightsaber. Re-position Luke on the bottom right side of the tree as shown below:     33.) Turn the tree around to the back and slightly disconnect the roof of the tree hut to lay the green bit light cable from the right side through the gap and out to the left side. Ensure the cable is laid in between studs before reconnecting the roof to secure the cable in place.   Connect the three green bit light cables, along with the lightsaber cable to a new 6-Port Expansion Board. Take the other end of the 50cm Connecting Cable from the right section of the set and connect it to the expansion board. Turn ON the USB Power Bank to test the lights on the left side of the set are working OK.   Note: If you experience any issues with the lights not working and suspect an issue with a component, please try a different port on the expansion board to verify where the fault lies (with the light, expansion board, or effects board). To correct any issues with expansion board ports, please view the section addressing expansion board issues on our online troubleshooting guide.     34.) Disconnect the 50cm Connecting Cable along with the four bit light cables from the expansion board. Group together the three green bit light cables near the top of the tree and twist/wind them around each other all the way to the ends of the cables. Reconnect the three cables to the 6-port expansion board, then continue to wind any more excess cable around the larger group of cables. Reconnect the Lightsaber cable.     35.) Disconnect the remaining torches from each side of the tree hut and install another 2x White 30cm Bit Lights to them, the same way we did for all other torches using the remaining provided 2x Trans Orange Round Plate 1×1 with open stud.   Reconnect both fire torches, then turn the section around to the back. Bring the two cables together and twist/wind them around each other (underneath the trap door) to lock them in place.   Connect the white bit light cables to two of the OUT ports on a new Flicker Effects Board. Take the other end of the 50cm Connecting Cable from the right section and connect it to the IN port on the effects board. Turn the USB Power Bank ON to test the flicker lights from the torches are working OK.     36.) Disconnect the 50cm Connecting Cable from the flicker effects board and connect a new 5cm Connecting Cable to the IN port instead. Connect the other end of the 5cm cable to the 6-Port Expansion Board.   Using 2x Adhesive Squares, stick the 6-port Expansion Board to the back of the tree in the below position:   Secure the cables from the green bit lights inside the tree hut and down the back of the tree using tape.   Eliminate excess cable by twisting/folding the cables around each other to form a neat bunch.     37.) Turn both sections around to the back and reconnect the bridge to the main section.   Thread the other end of the 50cm connecting cable up the space below the black rope on the bridge, then pull the cable all the way out the top. Thread the cable back down the space on the next clip along then bring the cable to the other side of the bridge. Thread the cable through the clips and pull it all the way out.   Secure the cable along the back side of the bridge by disconnecting clips, bring the cable in, then reconnecting the clips.   Connect the 50cm Connecting Cable to the 6-port Expansion board.     38.) Mount the Flicker Effects Board to the back of the tree using an Adhesive Square.   Hide the lightsaber cable underneath the tree base. Alternatively, you can re-position Luke and his saber anywhere else in the set by simply connecting the lightsaber cable to a spare expansion board port. Remember to only connect the lightsaber light to an expansion board that is not connected to the flicker effects board otherwise the lightsaber will also flicker.

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!

1.) We will start by first installing lights to the lava at the front of the castle. First disconnect the following black tiles at the front, then turn the castle around and remove the tie fighter. Gently press up against the following sections to lift up the entire top half of the castle.   Turn the base of the castle back around to the front and remove following sections:     2.) Take the following section and disconnect all the trans coloured pieces, then take 2x White 15cm Bit Lights and with the cables facing up, place the bit lights down in the following positions, in between studs. Secure the lights in place by reconnecting the trans coloured section over the top. Ensure both Bit Lights are secured directly in between studs as shown below:     3.) Take both cables and thread them through the space on the right, which leads to the inside of the castle. Pull the cables all the way out from the inside, then reconnect the lava section. Ensure both cables are neatly laid along the right of the following light grey stud.     4.) Take another White 15cm Bit Light and with the other end of the cable facing the right, place the bit light in between the two grey studs. Ensuring the cable is laid toward the right around the side closest to the front, secure the bit light in place by reconnecting the trans orange wall piece over the top. It is very important that the cable is laid on the side of the grey stud closest to the front. This will prevent the cable from snapping later on when the pieces are reconnected on top.   Take the other end of the Bit Light cable and thread it through the space on the right, then pull it all the way out from the inside of the castle.   Reconnect the two dark grey wall sections starting with the one on the right. Ensure the three cables are laid around the far left stud before reconnecting the left wall section over the top.     5.) Take your AA Battery Pack and insert 3x AA Batteries to it. Connect the battery pack cable to a 6-Port Expansion Board, then connect the three bit light cables to it. Turn the battery pack ON to test that all three 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.     6.) Take the following section we removed earlier and disconnect the light grey plate from underneath. Disconnect the trans orange section, then reconnect the light grey plate to the front of the castle.   Take 2x White 15cm Bit Lights and with the cables facing the back, place them over the two trans orange round tiles. Ensuring both cables are laid in between the studs in the centre, reconnect the trans orange section over the top to secure them in place. Reconnect the section we removed the light grey plate from earlier, ensuring the cables are first laid in between studs.   Continue to reconnect surrounding sections we removed in step 1.     7.) From the inside of the castle, connect the two bit light cables we just installed to the next ports along the 6-port expansion board, then turn ON the battery Pack to test all the lava 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.   Disconnect the AA Battery Pack, then take a Multi Effects Board and connect a 5cm Connecting Cable to one of the OUT ports (side with 2 ports). Connect the other end of the 5cm cable to the 6-port expansion board, then connect your AA Battery Pack to the IN port on the multi-effects board (side with 1 port)     8.) We will now configure the Multi Effects Board. Turn ON the AA Battery Pack and configure your desired effect by simply flicking the switch and adjusting the speed wheel. To configure the effect used in the Light My Bricks example, set the switch to the far right for ‘pulse’ effect. Turn the wheel all the way to left for the slowest speed.     Once you are happy with the chosen effect, disconnect the AA Battery Pack from the effects board. Take a new 5cm Connecting Cable and connect it to a new 6-Port Expansion Board. Connect the other end of the 5cm cable to the IN port on the Multi Effects Board (where we disconnected the battery pack from).       9.) Thread your AA Battery Pack through the space on the left side of the castle. Pull the cable in from the inside and connect it to the second 6-port expansion board we installed.   Neaten up cabling from the inside of the castle by grouping all the cables from the lava section and twisting/folding them together to form a neat bunch.     10.) We will now install a light to the pink diamond on the outside of the castle. First disconnect the wall section it sits on then disconnect the trans pink piece. Take a Pink 30cm Bit Light and with the cable facing behind, place it over the red stud. Secure the Bit Light in place by reconnecting the trans pink piece over the top.   Turn this section around to the back, then fold the cable down the back of the section.   Reconnect this section to the castle base, then thread the pink bit light cable through the same space we threaded the battery pack cable through. Pull it all the way out from the inside then connect it to the second 6-port expansion board we installed. Turn ON the battery pack 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.     11.) We will now install a flashing light over to the right side of the castle. First disconnect the control panel section, then disconnect the trans green round tile. Take a Flashing White 30cm Bit Light and with the cable facing behind, place it over the black stud. Secure the light in place by connecting a provided Trans Green Round Plate 1×1 over the top.   Reconnect the control panel, then thread the other end of the cable through the following space. Pull it all the way out from the inside of the castle, then thread the cable in between the wall and control panel. Continue to thread it around the next wall section to lead back inside the castle.   Hide the cable by disconnecting the following section, then reconnecting it over the top of the cable as shown below.   Connect the flashing white bit light cable it to the next spare port on the 6-port expansion board, then turn ON the battery pack 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.     12.) Disconnect the Battery Pack cable from the expansion board inside the castle, then neaten up cabling by grouping all cables connected to the second 6-port expansion board and twisting/folding around each other to form a neat bunch.     Lift up the section so we can access underneath, then secure the flashing white 30cm bit light cable underneath the following 2×2 plate.   Take a 15cm Connecting cable and connect one end to a spare port on the second 6-port Expansion Board.       13.) We will now install lights to the main section of the castle. First pull out the black technic pin on the right side, then disconnect the two walls by unclipping them from the bottom.   Remove the Darth Vader’s bacta tank, disconnect the top of it as shown below:     14.) Take a Cool White 30cm Bit Light and with the led facing down and cable laid behind, place if over the top of the tank, then secure it in place by reconnecting the top section. If you look up from the front of the tank, you should be able to see the Bit Light facing down.   Turn the tank around to the back and fold the cable down and secure it underneath the black angled brick at the bottom.   Reconnect the bacta tank then thread the cable behind and out the right side of this section.     15.) Remove the Darth Sidious hologram from the level above and disassemble it as shown below:   Take another Cool White 30cm Bit Light and place it over the black base’s stud. Secure the bit light in place by connecting a provided Trans Light Blue Round Plate 1×1 over the top, then reconnect the hologram piece ensuring the cable is facing the back.   Reconnect this section back to the castle, then lay the cable behind Darth Vader’s throne and around to the right.     16.) Take both ends of the Cool White Bit Light cables and connect each to one of the OUT ports on a Flicker effects Board   Secure both cables underneath the following light grey plate with clip, then fold/twist the two cables around each other into a neat bunch as shown below:   Test the flickering lights by connecting your AA Battery Pack to the IN port on the Flicker Effects Board. Turn the battery pack on to see the bacta tank and hologram come to life.   Note: If you experience any issues with the lights not working and suspect an issue with a component, please try a different port on the expansion board to verify where the fault lies (with the light, expansion board or effects board). To correct any issues with expansion board ports, please view the section addressing expansion board issues on our online troubleshooting guide.     17.) Disconnect the AA Battery Pack, then connect a 5cm Connecting Cable to the IN port on the flicker effects board. Connect the other end of the cable to a new 6-Port Expansion Board.     18.) Take 2x Red Strip Lights and using their adhesive backing, stick them to the bases of the provided 2x Black Plate 1×6, then connect the two strip lights together using a 5cm Connecting Cable.   Take a 30cm Connecting Cable and connect one end to the right strip light, then take a 15cm Connecting Cable and connect one end to the left strip light.     19.) Lift up the base where the darth vader meditation chamber is, then mount both Red Strip Lights underneath it in the below positions. Ensure the 30cm Connecting cable is closest to the back.   Take the other end of the 30cm Connecting Cable and thread it up the following space, which leads to the floor above (darth vader chamber). Pull the cable all the way out.   Connect the other end of the 30cm cable to the 6-Port Expansion Board below, then connect your AA Battery Pack to another spare port on the expansion board. Turn ON the battery pack to test the red strip 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.     20.) Take the entire left wall section and reconnect it by clipping it to the base of this section as shown below: Take another Red Strip Light and using it’s adhesive backing, stick it to the bast of another provided Black Plate 1×6. Take the other end of the 15cm Connecting Cable from the red strip light from previous step and connect it to the Red Strip light from this step.   Take a new 15cm Connecting Cable and connect it to the other port on the Red Strip Light, then Mount the strip light underneath the top level as shown below. Ensure the spare end of the 15cm cable is facing the left.     21.)

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 light up the train station. First remove the train, then disconnect the bridge section and the following lamp sections by unclipping them from the wall.     2.) Disassemble the lamps as shown below, then take a White 30cm Bit Light and thread the connector end of the cable through the base (larger hole) of the trans yellow round brick. Thread it all the way in, then secure it in place by reconnecting the black clip on top. Ensure the LED on the bit light is facing the front of the brick.   Repeat this process to install another White 30cm Bit Light to the other lamp.   3.) Carefully disconnect the upper part of the wall so that it creates a gap where the lamps were connected to. Thread each lamp cable all the way through this space, then reconnect the lamp to the clip. Ensure the cables are laid neatly in between the studs as shown below:   Once the lamps are reconnected, carefully reconnect the upper wall section to close up the gap while ensuring the cables are laid neatly in between studs.     4.) Turn the station around to the back and fold down the cables against the wall so they run flat down the wall.   Secure the cables underneath the following bricks. First disconnect each brick, bring the cable inside, then reconnect the brick while ensuring the cable is laid in between studs. This will also eliminate unwanted cable from behind the set.     5.) Take a 6-Port Expansion Board and connect the two bit light cables to it. Take your AA Battery Pack and insert 3x AA Batteries to it. Connect the battery pack to the expansion board and turn it ON to test the lights we have installed so far are working OK. 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.   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.) We will now light up the remaining wall lamp. First disconnect it then remove the black plate with clip from underneath.   Take a White 15cm Bit Light and with the cable facing the clip, lay it over the stud. Secure it in place by reconnecting the lamp piece over the top. Thread the cable through the top of the black plate’s clip, then pull it all the way out from underneath as shown below:     7.) Carefully disconnect the upper section of the wall to create another gap, then thread the bit light cable through the gap in between studs. Reconnect the lamp back to the wall, then close up the gap ensuring the cable is neatly laid in between studs.     Turn the set around to the back again and fold the cable down along the back of the wall. Turn the set onto it’s front so we can access underneath, then disconnect the long black brick. Connect the bit light cable to the next spare port on the 6-port Expansion Board below, then turn ON the battery pack 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).

Take a 30cm Connecting Cable and connect it to a spare port on the expansion board, then reconnect the long black brick ensuring you first pull the 30cm cable all the way out, and pull the White 15cm Bit Light cable all the way inside. Also make sure each cable is laid in between studs before completely closing up the gaps.     9.) From the back of the set, take the other end of the 30cm Connecting Cable and thread it through the first gap on the bottom of the steps, then pull the cable all the way out from the front. From the front of the set, thread the cable back through the next gap up the steps and pull it all the way out from the back of the set.     10.) Partially disconnect the top section above the steps to create a gap, then bring the cable all the way up and thread it in between studs through this gap we created. Pull the cable all the way out from the other side, then close up the gap ensuring the cable is laid in between the studs.   Thread the cable underneath to bring the cable around to the front side     11.) Take the bridge section we removed earlier and turn it onto it’s back so we can access underneath. Take a White 15cm Bit Light and a provided LEGO Trans Clear Plate 2×2 with rounded bottom. Use this LEGO piece to install the Bit Light underneath the front platform of the bridge by connecting it to the roof with Bit Light LED facing down the centre of the trans clear piece. Ensure the other end of the cable is facing the bridge.   From the back of the bridge, partially disconnect the top section to create a gap above the dark grey brick. Bring the cable through this gap, then reconnect this section to close up the gap ensuring the cable is laid in between studs.   Follow the below images to continue to thread the cable around sections to eliminate excess cable:     12.) Take a White Strip Light and using it’s adhesive backing, stick it to the base of a provided LEGO Plate 1×6. Take the other end of the White 15cm Bit Light from underneath the bridge and connect it to the Strip Light.   Take the other end of the 30cm Connecting Cable from the other side of the station and connect it to the other side of the Strip Light. Mount the strip light underneath the bridge in the following position, then reconnect the bridge to the train station. Eliminate excess cabling from the White 15cm Bit Light by looping the cable underneath the strip light’s lego plate.   Eliminate excess cabling from the 30cm Connecting cable by twisting the cable around itself a few times, then tucking it in to the space underneath the steps as shown below ensuring they are tucked in between studs.   Follow the below images to continue to hide excess cables underneath and in between pieces.   Finally, turn ON the battery pack to test all lights installed to the train station are working OK.     13.) We will now light up the Hogwarts express train. First, disconnect the middle and back carriages, then disconnect the following sections from the front of the train.     14.) Take the following top section and disassemble it. Take a White 15cm Bit Light and with the cable facing the clip, place it over the gold stud. Secure it in place by connecting a provided Trans Clear Round Plate 1×1 over the top.   Thread the other side of the cable through the gap behind, then pull it all the way out from underneath. Reconnect the gold clip to the black piece, then reconnect this section to the front of the train.   Ensure the cable is laid in between the light grey studs before reconnecting the round Hogwarts Express dish piece over the top.     15.) Take the bottom section and disassemble it as per below.   Take a White 15cm Bit Light and place it over the left stud as per below. Secure it in place by connecting a provided LEGO Trans Clear Round Plate 1×1 over the top. Repeat this process to install another White 15cm Bit Light to the other side, securing it in place with another provided LEGO Trans Clear Round Plate 1×1.   Ensuring both cables are laid in between studs, reconnect the sections we removed earlier, then reconnect this bottom section back to the train.     16.) Turn the train over onto it’s side and disconnect the two sections underneath.   Take the three Bit Light Cables and thread them through the following gap in the middle of the back section we removed earlier, then connect them to a new 6-Port Expansion Board.   17.) Reconnect the two sections back underneath the train, ensuring all cables are laid in between studs.   Take a Round Battery Pack and insert 2x CR2032 Batteries to it. Connect the battery pack to the 6-port expansion board and turn it ON to test the lights on the front of the train 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.     18.) Disconnect the round battery pack and take 2x 15cm Connecting Cables and connect them to the 6-port expansion board.   Using the LEGO removal tool, disconnect the following black piece from the back of the train, then pull one of the 15cm cables all the way out towards the back. Secure the cable by reconnecting the black piece over the top ensuring the cable is laid in between studs.   Twist and fold excess cabling from underneath the train, then tuck them in neatly to prevent them from dangling down. Bring the other 15cm connecting cable toward the back and pull it up the left side of the train as shown below:     19.) Turn the train over and disconnect the following sections from the back.   Bring the other end of the 15cm cable from the left side and lay it in between studs before reconnecting the red 1×3 plate.   Lay the cable in between studs towards the front of the train, then secure it underneath the black and red plates.     20.) Connect the 15cm connecting cable to the IN port on the Flicker Effects Board.   Take the steam control cab and disconnect the following section from the back. Disassemble this section as per below:     21.) Take 2x White 15cm Bit Lights and hold them together over the studs on the front of the black brick. Ensuring the cables are facing the top of the black brick, secure them in place by reconnecting the red plate over the top.   Bring both cables over the top of the black brick, then reconnect the light grey brick over the top, ensuring cables are laid in between studs. Reconnect this section back to the steam control cab     22.) Take the following flame pieces and using a pair of scissors, carefully snip off the tips from the bottom. This will allow us to then reconnect them back to the control cab with Bit Lights installed underneath.   Connect the two bit light cables to the OUT ports on the Flicker Effects Board, then reconnect the control cab back to the train.   Eliminate excess cables by twisting/folding the bit light cables around each other so they come together in a neat bunch, then tuck them (along with the effects board) inside.   23.) Connect the other end of the 15cm Cable from the back of the train to a new 6-Port Expansion Board. Connect your Round Battery Pack to a spare port on the expansion board and turn it ON to test the flickering lights (along with the front lights) are working OK. 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.   Note: If you experience any issues with the lights not working and suspect an issue with a component, please try a different port on the expansion board to verify where the fault lies (with the light or expansion board). To correct any issues with expansion board ports, please view the section addressing expansion board issues on our online troubleshooting guide.     24.) Disconnect 15cm connecting cable from the expansion board, then reconnect all the sections surrounding the control cab on the back of the front carriage.     25.) Take the middle carriage and disconnect the roof and front wall. Reconnect the carriage to the front carriage, then bring the 15cm connecting cable inside.   Reconnect the connecting cable to the 6-port expansion board from previous step, then reconnect the front wall over the cable ensuring the cable is laid in between studs and that there is enough cable slack for the carriage to turn left/right.     26.) Take another 15cm Connecting Cable and connect it to the 6-port Expansion Board. Disconnect the back wall, then pull the other end of the cable all the way out the back. Reconnect the back wall over the top ensuring the cable is in between studs.   Neatly tuck the battery pack inside the carriage, then reconnect the roof.     27.) Take the back carriage and disconnect the roof as well as the following corner tile to allow us to remove the front wall section.   Reconnect the carriage to the middle carriage, then bring the other end of the 15cm cable back and inside the last carriage. Reconnect the front wall section over the cable ensuring it is laid in between studs. Ensure you also have enough cable slack between the two carriages for them to be able to turn left/right.   Tuck the cable in between the blue brick and front wall, then reconnect the corner tile.     28.) Take 2x White Strip Lights and using their adhesive backing, stick them to the back of 2x Plates 1×6. Connect the two strip lights together using a 5cm Connecting Cable.   Mount the two strip lights underneath the roof in the below positions.   29.) Bring the roof over the carriage and connect the other end of the 15cm connecting cable below to the Strip Light. Securely reconnect the roof.   Turn ON the battery pack to test the carriage lights are working OK.
