Important things to note:

Laying cables in between and underneath bricks

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

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

Connecting cable connectors to Expansion Boards

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

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

Connecting cable connectors to Strip Lights

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

Installing Bit Lights under LEGO® bricks and plates.

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

 

OK, Let’s Begin!


Lighting up the Truck

1.) The first thing we will do is light up the truck. First take this vehicle and remove the following pieces from the front, then disassemble as per below:     2.) Take a White 15cm Bit Light and thread the connector side of the cable through the front of the light grey technic pin. Thread it all the way through, then carefully bend the Bit Light on a 90 degree angle so that it is sitting flat against the edge of the pin. Take a provided Trans Clear Round Plate 1×1 and connect it over the top.   Repeat this step to install another White 15cm Bit Light to the other technic pin, securing it in place using another provided Trans Clear Round Plate 1×1.     3.) Remove the following sections from the front of the truck,then thread one of the Bit Light cables through the front of the below piece allowing you to reconnect the left headlight.   Disconnect the wheel, then reconnect the left headlight section ensuring the cable is passed through over the wheel axis, before reconnecting the wheel over the top.     4.) Repeat previous step to reconnect the right headlight to the truck then reconnect the remaining sections we removed earlier.     5.) Turn the truck around and disconnect the back section as well as rear right wheel, then thread the cable from the right headlight up the space in front of the rear right wheel (which leads to the back of the truck). Ensure the cable is pulled up inside the black side rail as per below images.   Repeat this process to thread the cable from the left headlight up the space in front of the left rear wheel.     6.) Take out the Micro Battery Pack and pull out and discard the clear tag to activate the batteries. Connect the two cables to the bottom ports (ensuring the battery switch side is facing up), then turn the battery pack ON to verify the headlights are working OK.     7.) Disconnect the two trans red tiles from the back panel, then take a White 15cm Bit Light and with the cable facing toward the centre, place it over the right stud as shown below. Secure the Bit Light in place by connecting a provided Trans Red Round Plate 1×1 over the top.   Repeat this process to install another White 15cm Bit Light to the left side, securing it in place using another provided Trans Red Round Plate 1×1. Reconnect this panel back to the truck ensuring both cables are laid in between studs underneath.     8.) Remove the rear left wheel then thread the left tail light cable up the space in front of the left wheel axis and pull it up from the top on the inside of the black bars (same way we did for the headlight cables).   Reconnect the wheel, then connect the cable to the next port along the micro battery pack.   Repeat this process to thread the right tail light cable up to the top and connect it to the next port on the Micro Battery Pack.     9.) Neaten up excess cables by grouping them all together and twisting/folding them around each other a few times. Tuck the bunched up cables underneath the battery pack then lower the hook section so that it secures the battery pack in place.     This completes installation of the lights for the Corner Garage Truck. Turn ON the battery pack to test the tail lights are working OK.    

Lighting up the Corner Garage

1.) The Corner Garage lights are installed from the bottom up. First remove the second and third floors, then disconnect the gas station roof, gas pump, followed by the lamp post.     2.) Use your LEGO removal tool to disconnect the following tiles as well as the trolley from the building leading to the gas pump.   Remove the upper section of the gas pump then take out a Blue 30cm Bit Light and with the cable facing the back of the pump, place it in the centre, in between the white studs. Reconnect the upper section of the gas pump on top, ensuring the Bit Light is neatly secured in the middle.   Turn the Gas Pump around to the back and secure the bit light cable underneath the following light grey tile.     3.) Reconnect the following tile before reconnecting the Gas Pump section over the top, back onto the base plate.   Bring the front corner of the base plate over the edge of your table and bend it down slightly so that the dark green wall comes apart at the following section:   Feed the wire from the Blue Bit Light through the following space, then pull it all the way out from the inside of the wall.     4.) Neatly lay the cable in between the following studs, then reconnect the following tiles and pieces we disconnected earlier, starting with the grey tile with stud on top.     5.) Take a 12-Port Expansion Board and connect the Blue Bit Light to the first port on the left. Take your USB Power Cable and connect it to the far right port. Connect the other side to your USB Power Bank (sold separately) and turn it on to test the blue light is working OK.   Note: If you experience any issues with the lights not working and suspect an issue with a component, please try a different port on the expansion board to verify where the fault lies (with the light or expansion board). To correct any issues with expansion board ports, please view the section addressing expansion board issues on our online troubleshooting guide.     6.) Disconnect the following pieces in front of the garage door, then take out the provided LEGO Lamp Post with Bit Light installed.   Bring this side of the base plate over the edge of the table and slightly bend it down to create a gap underneath the right side of the garage door.     7.) Thread the Lamp Post cable through this gap and then pull it out from the inside of the garage before connecting the lamp post to the base plate.   Ensure the cable is  neatly laid in between the following studs and is pulled all the way out from the inside of the garage before closing up the gap in between base plate and wall.   Connect the lamp post cable to the next port on the left of the 12-port Expansion Board, then turn on your USB Power Bank to test the lamp post light is working OK. Reconnect the tiles and pieces we disconnected earlier (discard the black 2×2 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.     8.) Take the roof section of the gas station and disconnect the following sections.   Take the following provided LEGO pieces and assemble two of the pieces to make two spot lights as per below: 2x Black Round Plate 1×1 with Open Stud 2x Black Tile 1×1 with Clip Rounded Edges 2x Black 1×1 Modified Plate Rounded with Handle      9.) Take a White 30cm Bit Light and thread the connector side of the cable through the base (large hole) of the round plate with open stud. Thread the cable all the way through and then carefully bend the Bit Light on a 90 degree angle so that it sits flat against the inside of the round plate.   Connect the round plate to the back of the Black 1×1 Modified Plate Rounded with Handle ensuring the cable is facing the bottom then repeat this process to install another White 30cm Bit Light to the other spot light section.     10.) Connect both spot lights to the front of the gas station roof section in the following positions. Ensure that both cables are neatly laid in between studs before securing the cables underneath the white 1×6 tile at the back.   Reconnect the roof top with the ‘Jo’s Garage’ sign followed by the dark grey corner sections.     11.) Take 2x White Strip Lights and connect them together using a 15cm Connecting Cable. Take another 15cm Connecting Cable and connect it to the other side of one of the Strip Lights.   Using it’s adhesive backing, stick the Strip Lights underneath the gas station roof section in the following positions. Ensure the Strip Light with the spare end of the 15cm connecting cable is toward the back of the roof as shown below:   Secure the excess cable from the 15cm Connecting Cable (in between the strip lights) underneath the green plates along the side. Bunch up any remaining excess and tuck it in to the inside of the roof, then secure the spare end of the 15cm connecting cable (towards the back), underneath the following green plate.     12.) Reconnect the pillars underneath the roof section before reconnecting this whole section back to the base plate and top of the first floor ensuring the 15cm connecting cable and 2x White 30cm Bit Lights are laid out toward the inside of the building.   Connect the 2x White 30cm Bit Lights and 15cm Connecting Cable to the next ports along the 12-port Expansion Board (next to the USB Power Cable). Turn ON the USB Power Bank to test the spot lights and 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.     13.) We will now install some lights to the lamps above the garage door. Using your LEGO Removal tool, disconnect the following sections, then disassemble the pieces from the lamps.   Take a White 15cm Bit Light and thread the connector side of the cable through the base of the black round plate with open stud (large hole). Thread the cable all the way through and then carefully bend the Bit Light on a 90 degree angle so that it sits flat against the inside of the round plate. Reconnect this section to the black dish with trans yellow round plate.   Carefully reconnect this section back to the black tap piece ensuring you do NOT Forcefully push it all the way in. *CAUTION – This section cannot be pushed all the way in as doing so may break the wire.     14.) Repeat the previous step to install another White 15cm Bit Light to the other lamp, then reconnect this section back to the top of the garage.     Reconnect the top section above the garage door, then connect the two Bit Light Cables to the next ports along the 12-Port Expansion Board (next to the lamp post cable). Turn the USB Power Bank ON to confirm the lamp 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.) We will now install a light to the door lamp on the other side of the building. First disconnect the following pieces to allow us to remove and disassemble the lamp section.   Take a White 15cm Bit Light and thread the connector side of the cable through the base of the black round plate with open stud (large hole). Thread the cable all the way through and then carefully bend the Bit Light on a 90 degree angle so that it sits flat against the inside of the round plate.   Reconnect this section to the trans yellow cone piece then with the cable facing the back, carefully reconnect this to the black bar ensuring you do NOT Forcefully push it all the way in.   *CAUTION – This section cannot be pushed all the way in as doing so may break the wire.     16.) Reconnect this section back to the top of the building, then connect the Bit Light to the next port along the 12-Port Expansion Board (next to the 15cm connecting cable). Turn ON the USB Power Bank to confirm the light is working OK, then reconnect the pieces we removed surrounding the top of this section.   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.) We will now secure down the 12-port expansion board and neaten up cables. Take 3x Adhesive Squares and stick them to the back of the 12-Port Expansion, then turn the set around to the back and mount the expansion board to the inside of the building as shown below   Disconnect the 1×8 tile from the top of the back wall and secure the USB Power Cable in between studs underneath.     18.) Neaten up all the excess cable and prevent them from being too visible from the outside. Starting with the the cables on the left near the garage door (except for the lamp post cable), bring them together and twist/fold them around each other in a neat bunch.   For the lamp post cable, use some tape to secure it up the side of the wall.   Secure the two cables from the spot lights underneath the light grey 1×4 tile, then group the two cables as well as the connecting cable and twist/fold them around each other in a neat bunch.   Secure the door lamp cable underneath the dark grey 1×8 tile.   All cables should be neatly hidden and tidied up looking similar to the below. Now Turn on the USB Power Bank again to test all lights are working OK.     19.) Take the entire second floor and turn it onto it’s back so we can access underneath.
