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.

Install lights to the Bus

1.) We will start by installing lights to the bus. First take the bus and disconnect the roof as well as the following pieces so we can access the headlights.

  Remove the trans clear round tile from each headlight then take a White 15cm Bit Light and place it over the top of one of the headlight pieces. Secure the Bit Light in place by connecting a provided Trans Clear Round Plate 1×1 over the top then fold the cable down the side.   Repeat this process to install another White 15cm Bit Light to the other headlight, securing it in place using another provided Trans Clear Round Plate 1×1.   2.) Reconnect both headlights to the front of the bus ensuring the cable is on the bottom and in between each clip then lay each cable toward the inside of the bus in between the following studs.   Reconnect surrounding pieces at the front of the bus.   3.) Disconnect the front chair then bring the cable from the left headlight across and lay it in between studs before reconnecting the chair over the top.   Take a 8-Port Expansion Board and connect both cables from the headlights to the far right ports.   4.) Test the headlights by taking the Flat Battery Pack and inserting 2x CR2032 Batteries to it. Connect the battery pack cable to the expansion board and turn ON the battery pack to verify the headlights are working OK. IMPORTANT NOTE: Flat and Round Battery Packs (CR2032) have been removed as of June 2022 due to child safety regulations.  Please use the 50cm Connecting Cable in place of the Battery Packs. To test the lights, connect the 50cm Connecting Cable to a spare Expansion Board. Take the AA Battery Pack and with new batteries inserted, connect it to the expansion board. Turn the battery pack ON to test if all is working ok.  Once tested, disconnect the Expansion Board and AA Battery Pack and set them aside. Ensure the cable is running out from the side of the vehicle. This will then tether to 12-Port Expansion Board at the very end of this guide.     Reconnect the remaining pieces which make up the front of the Bus.   5.) Turn the Bus around and disconnect the following pieces from the back of the vehicle.   6.) Disconnect the following two tail light sections and then disconnect the trans red plates from each side.   Take a White 15cm Bit Light and thread the connector end of the cable through the front hole of one of the yellow bricks. Pull the cable all the way out from the back of the brick then press down the Bit Light so that it sits flat against the front side of the brick.   Secure the Bit Light in place by reconnecting the Trans Red Round Plate over the top.   Repeat this process to install another White 15cm Bit Light to the other tail light.   7.) Reconnect both tail lights to the back of the Bus and with both cables laid toward the inside of the bus and down in between studs, then reconnect the following side pieces.   Reconnect the remaining pieces which make up the back and side windows.   8.) Take the two tail light cables and connect them to the next spare ports on the Expansion Board, then turn ON the Flat Battery Pack to test the lights installed so far are working OK.   9.) Take the following top section and remove the trans orange round tiles.   With this top section flipped onto it’s back, place a White 15cm Bit Light over one of the black studs (with cable facing down). Secure the Bit Light in place by connecting a provided Trans Orange Round Plate 1×1 over the top.   Repeat this step the install another White 15cm Bit Light to the other upper rear light securing it in place using another provided Trans Orange Round Plate 1×1.   10.) Reconnect the upper rear light section to the back of the bus ensuring the cables are laid inside, then connect both cables to the Expansion Board.   Turn ON the flat battery pack to test and ensure all lights are working OK.   11.) Disconnect the Flat Battery Pack and then from the inside of the bus,  lay the two cables from the upper rear lights down and then along the floor of the bus in the below positions, then reconnect the two seats over the top.   12.) Take the roof of the bus and flip it over to disconnect the two round dark grey 2×2 plates from underneath.   Take a White Strip Light and provided Plate 1×6. Using it’s adhesive backing, stick the Strip Light onto the base of the Plate 1×6 then mount the Strip Light underneath the roof of the bus in the following position.   13.) Take a 15cm Connecting Cable and connect it to the expansion board then reconnect the flat battery pack to the expansion board.   Neatly tuck all cables and expansion board  in to the left side of the bus as per below (leave the other end of the 15cm cable out)   14.)

Take another White 30cm Bit Light and split/seperate the wire to place it over the green stud on the left side of the tower as shown below.   Secure the Bit Light in place by reconnecting the light grey section on the left side. The LED should be peeking out just above the clock on the left side to shine down.   From the back of the station, thread the cable down the same space we did for the other Bit Light, then slip the cable in between bricks as shown below:   14.)  Take another White 30cm Bit Light and using the same method we used for the other clock lights, install it to the front stud on the tower. Pull the cable behind and then slip it in between bricks before reconnecting the middle section back on top to secure the Bit Light in place. The LED should be peeking out just above the clock on the front side to shine down.   From the back of the station, thread the cable down the same space we did for the other Bit Lights   15.) Take all three cables from the clock tower and twist/wind them around each other so they come together to form a larger cable.   Bring the cable down the right side of the door frame and then lay it down across the floor in between studs underneath the corner section as shown below:   Connect all three cables to the next available ports on the 12-Port Expansion Board then turn the Battery Pack ON to verify all the lights from the clock tower are working OK.   16.) Reconnect sections that make up the roof.   17.) We will now install some strip lights underneath the roof.   Take a White Strip Light and using it’s adhesive backing, stick it to the base of a provided Plate 1×6.   Take a 5cm Connecting Cable and connect it one side to one of the Strip Lights then take a new 5cm Connecting Cable and connect it to the other side of the Strip Light.   18.) Use the LEGO Removal tool to create a gap between the roof and the top of the wall as per below:   Thread the spare end of one of the 5cm Connecting Cables through this gap we just created, then mount the strip light to the ceiling as shown below. Ensure the cable we threaded through the gap is on the left side of the strip light then close up the gap by securely reconnecting the roof.   19.) Connect the other end of the 5cm Connecting Cable from the strip light we just mounted to a new White Strip Light. Take a 15cm Connecting Cable and connect it to the Strip Light’s other port.   Take a provided Plate 1×6 and connect it underneath the roof on the right side of the station as shown below.   Using it’s adhesive backing, stick the Strip Light directly underneath the roof on the right side ensuring the 15cm connecting cable is on the right side. Push the 5cm connecting cable in between the strip lights up so that it is not hanging down.   20.) Thread the other end of the 15cm Connecting Cable through to the back side of the station then wind it around the black post a few times before connecting it to the 12-Port Expansion Board.   21.) Take another White Strip Light and using it’s adhesive backing, stick it to the base of a provide Plate 1×6. From the inside of the train station, take the other end of the 5cm Connecting Cable we threaded through the gap and connect it to the White Strip Light.   Mount the Strip Light underneath the first floor as shown below then turn ON the Battery Pack to verify all the strip lights we installed are working OK.   22.) Take a Multi-Coloured Light String and place the top end of the cable upside down on the roof of the left side of the station in the below position. Secure the Light String by connecting a provided White Plate 1×4 over the top ensuring you are connecting it over in between the LEDs.   Pull the Light String over to the roof of the clock tower and then secure it in place by disconnecting then reconnecting the white tiles over the top ensuring you are connecting the plates over in between the LEDs. 23.) Bring the Light String across to the front side of the roof and secure it underneath the white 1×4 tile on this side.   Bring the Light String across to the right side of the roof and then secure it underneath the white 1×4 tile on this side.   Bring the Light String down the right roof section and underneath the winter village sign, then bring the cable up and across to the right. Secure the Light String underneath the 1×2 brick (underneath the Winter Village Sign).   24.) Bring the Light String over to the roof on the right side of the station and then secure it by connecting a provided White Plate 1×4 over the top. Loop and bend the Light String at the top of the roof to bring the cable over to the other side.   From the other side, bring the cable down and wind it around the black pole a few times before connecting it up to a spare port on the 12-Port Expansion Board. Finally, if you used a 50cm Connecting Cable for the vehicle instead of a Battery Pack, connect it to the 12-Port Expansion Board.  Turn the Battery Pack ON to verify all the lights are working OK.   25.) Finally, neaten up any messy cables at the back of the station, then tuck the expansion board and Battery Pack in neatly.   26.) Lastly, if you intend to have the Winter Village Station setup with the Winter Holiday Train light kit, you will need to remove the following pieces along the railway crossing tracks.

Instructions for installing this kit

1.) To start, remove the front plate from the hat.

To install the Flashing White Bit Lights, place them over any of the brick studs with the LED facing upward. Secure the light in place by connecting a trans coloured LEGO plate over the top.

You can install Bit Lights anywhere you like as long as they are placed over a stud and secured down using a LEGO plate. You can also connect bricks over the top of the wires to hide them, just ensure the wires are neatly laid in between studs.

2.) If you’d like to install our version of the light kit, then install the 4x Flashing White 15cm Bit Lights to corners as pictured below. You can use any trans coloured plate to connect over the top of the light.

3.) Turn the plate over and then take each of the two cables on each side and then twist them around each other so they form one cable each.

4.) Take the 6-Port Expansion Board and then connect all 4 connectors from each of the lights into the ports on the expansion board.

5.) Take the Flat Battery Pack and insert 2x CR2032 Batteries into it. Connect the battery pack cable into a spare port on the expansion board.

6.) Turn on battery pack on to verify all lights are working OK.

7.) Use tape to secure the expansion board to the bottom of the plate, then place the battery pack in the middle of the plate with the on/off switch facing up. This is so we can easily access the switch to turn on the lights later on when the plate is attached to the hat.

8.) Use more tape to secure down the battery pack as well as the wires.

9.) Attach the plate back to the front of the hat then turn the light kit on and ENJOY!

The individual components used in Light My Bricks light kits are very small and as a result, can easily damage if not handled appropriately. It is very important that the user guides section “Important things to note” is carefully read and followed as doing so will prevent faults and damages to Light My Bricks components.

Most of you who are reading this may have already run into an issue where the lights you’ve installed simply won’t work and you’re trying to figure out why.

First, let’s take you through some of the most common causes:

---

Check your Batteries

Ensure that use new batteries and that they are inserted the correct way into the battery pack. Check that the ‘+’ side of the battery is facing the ‘+’ side of the battery pack, the ‘-’ side of the battery is facing the ‘-’ side of the battery pack.

For Round Battery Packs, ensure both CR2032 batteries are facing ‘-’ side down.

---

Ensure there are no obvious breakage in any of the wires or components

Light My Bricks components are very small, if not tiny, and can therefore easily damage when not handled appropriately. Be careful when you remove and unpack components out of the packaging to ensure you do not forcefully pull the wires as this can damage the tiny wires soldered onto the LED. If it’s broken, it will not work.

---

Expansion board fault

One of the most common problems customers face when installing Light My Bricks lighting kits is with a ‘suspected’ faulty expansion board. Connectors can only be inserted to the expansion board one way, with the exposed wires facing the ‘=’ symbol. Forcefully inserting the incorrect way will damage the pins inside each of the ports on the expansion board. Not only will a light connected to the damage port not work, but if the pins inside the port are bent to a point they are touching each other, it can result in overheating of the wires connected.

If you suspect you have a faulty expansion board then try the following steps to easily fix and resolve this issue:

If you look carefully inside each of the ports, they each contain 2 small pins which are straight. You will be able to identify the faulty port as the port with a bent pin(s).

To fix the faulty port, you will require a sharp object such as a pin, needle or a pair of tweezers which can be used to straighten the bent pin inside the faulty port. Simply use the object to bend the pin back in line. Once the pin is straight, your expansion board should now function correctly.

Here is the instructions document for the Light My Bricks Starter Kits. Here you will see a range of different examples on how to install our lights to your LEGO creations. Please read and follow the steps carefully to ensure this lighting kit is installed properly.

Important things to note:

Laying cables in between and underneath bricks

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

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

Connecting cable connectors to Strip Lights

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

Connecting cable connectors to Expansion Boards

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

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