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.) Start by disconnecting the two long roof sections that run along each side of the Star Destroyer

Turn the ship around so we can access the back, then disconnect the centre jet section followed by the two side jet sections.

 

 

2.) Take the centre jet section and follow the images below to disconnect sections so that we can disconnect the jets.

 

 

3.) Follow the below images to disassemble the jet section

 

 

4.) Take a the left jet and then turn it over so we can access the back. Take a White 30cm Bit Light and thread it down one of the bottom holes and then out to the right.

 

Thread the Bit Light all the way through and then bend it slightly toward the centre in between the four holes. Secure the Bit Light in place by reconnecting the trans orange piece over the top.

 

 

5.) Take the right jet and then repeat the same process used for the left jet to install another White 30cm Bit Light to it.

 

 

6.) Take the centre jet and install another White 30cm Bit Light the same way we did for the left and right jets.

 

Turn the jet over and reconnect the 2×3 plate we removed earlier underneath ensuring the cable is laid in between studs.

 

 

7.) Reconnect the three jets together then group the three cables and thread them inside the space behind before reconnecting to the main jet section.

 

Reconnect surrounding pieces which we removed back at step 2.

 

 

8.) Disconnect the left set of jets from the main section and then follow the images below to disassemble it.

 

Turn the below section over to access the back then install another White 30cm Bit Light the same way we did for the previous jets.

 

Reconnect this piece back to the rest and then reconnect surrounding pieces.

 

 

9.) Take the following 2×2 round brick and turn it over to access the base of it. Take another White 30cm Bit Light and thread it through the centre hole all the way through.

 

Slightly bend the Bit Light so that it is directly facing upward before pushing it down and reconnecting the trans orange plate over the top.

Important Note: Allow some excess cable inside the hole of the round brick for the technic bar to push through the back. Do not pull the cable all the way through to the end otherwise the cable may break when inserting back onto the technic bar.

 

Turn the piece over and reconnect the dark grey round plate ensuring the cable is laid in between the studs.

 

Reconnect this piece by pushing it back onto the technic bar. Do this very carefully to ensure the cable does not break. Reconnect surrounding pieces we removed earlier

 

Turn this section over and then lay the cable underneath the 1×4 plate as per below then reconnect this section back to the main centre section.

 

 

10.) Disconnect the right set of jets and then install another 2x White 30cm Bit Lights to it the same way we did for the left set of jets (Step 8–9)

Reconnect the right jets back to the main centre jet section.

 

 

11.) We will now move onto installing lights to the left jet section. Take this section and disconnect and disassemble the jets as per below images.

 

Turn this section over and remove the 2×3 brick from underneath.

 

 

12.) Install a White 30cm Bit Light by threading it through the bottom hole of the main section and securing it by reconnecting the trans orange piece over the top as per below:

 

Turn this section over and reconnect the 2×3 brick underneath ensuring the cable is placed in between studs

 

 

13.) Install another 2x White 30cm Bit Lights to the remaining jets in this section following the same method used for the jets in step 9.

 

Slightly bend the Bit Light so that it is directly facing upward before pushing it down and reconnecting the trans orange plate over the top.

Important Note: Allow some excess cable inside the hole of the round brick for the technic bar to push through the back. Do not pull the cable all the way through to the end otherwise the cable may break when inserting back onto the technic bar.

 

Turn the piece over and reconnect the dark grey round plate ensuring the cable is laid in between the studs.

 

Reconnect each jet section by pushing each one back onto the technic bar behind. Do this very carefully to ensure the cable does not break.

 

 

14.) Reconnect the jets back to the left section and then turn it over and lay the three cables underneath the 1×6 tile along the back. Ensure the cables are laid in between studs.

 

 

15.) Repeat previous steps 11–14 to install another 3x White 30cm Bit Lights to the jets on the right section.

 

 

16.) Reconnect the left and right jet sections and then pull out the three cables from each side at the front as per below

Reconnect the main centre jet section and bring the cables out to the left side.

 

 

Take the seven cables from the centre jet section and connect them to an 8-Port Expansion Board. Take a 5cm Connecting Cable and connect one end to the remaining port on the expansion board and the other end to one of the OUT ports on the Multi Effects Board (side with 2 ports)

 

Tuck the expansion board and seven cables neatly inside the left side of the ship as per below

 

 

17.) Remove the top section that covers the control room area then disconnect the following sections along the left side.

 

 

Bring the three cables from the left jet section together and pull them up along the back across the control room. Reconnect sections we removed earlier over the top.

 

Turn the ship over to the right side and do the same for the cables from the right jet section.

 

 

18.) Take another 8-Port Expansion Board and connect all six cables to it (three cables from each side jet section)

 

Take a 15cm Connecting Cable and connect it to a spare port on the expansion board.

 

Turn the ship back around to the left side and then connect the other end of the 15cm connecting cable to the other OUT port on the Multi Effects Board.

 

 

19.) Take the AA Battery Pack and insert 3x AA batteries to it. Place the battery pack on top of the ship and connect the battery pack cable to the IN port on the multi effects board. Turn the battery pack ON to test all jet lights are working OK. If you’re using the USB Power Cable, connect this to the board this instead of the battery pack, and connect the other end to a USB Power Bank or wall adaptor (sold separately) and turn it ON to test the front lights are working OK.

 

Configure your desired effect as well as the speed of the effect by flicking the switch and turning the speed wheel. The effect chosen in our product video was the ‘pulse’ effect. To configure this effect, flick the switch to the far left and turn the speed wheel all the way to the left as shown below.

 

Once you have confirmed all is working OK and you are happy with your chosen effect, disconnect the battery pack cable and connect a 15cm Connecting Cable to the IN port instead. Leave the other end of the cable disconnected for now.

 

Remove the following sections along the left side again and neatly place all cables underneath before reconnecting the sections over the top.

 

 

20.) We will now install seven lights along each side of the ship.

 

Starting toward the back, remove the following LEGO grill tile.

Hide the cable by laying it underneath the following 2×4 tile ensuring the cable is laid in between studs.

 

 

21.) Install another Blue 30cm Bit Light to the next grill tile along the left side of the ship except this time, install the light to the stud on the left rather than in lieu of the grill plate. Secure it in place by connecting another provided LEGO Trans Clear Plate 1×1.

 

Hide the cable underneath the following tile ensuring the cable is laid in between studs.

 

 

22.) Repeat previous step to install another 5x Blue 30cm Bit Lights to the left side of the remaining grill plates along the side. Secure them all in place using one of the 5x provided LEGO Trans Clear Plate 1×1 and hide the cables underneath the tiles above each light.

 

23.) Take the back three blue bit light cables as well as the other end of the 15cm connecting cable from the multi effects board (Step 19) and connect them to the first few ports on a 12-Port Expansion Board

 

Take a 50cm Connecting Cable and connect it to the far left port on the 12-port expansion board. Bring the cable toward the top of the ship and then connect it to the end port of a new 12-Port Expansion Board.

 

 

24.) Take the remaining four blue bit light cables toward the top of the ship and connect them to the 12-Port Expansion Board near by.

 

Take the AA Battery pack or USB Power Cable and connect the battery pack cable to the 12-port Expansion Board. Turn the battery pack ON to test all the blue lights are working OK. They should be illuminated along with the back jet lights however, they should be static (steady ON).

 

 

25.) Turn the ship over to the other side and then follow steps 20–22 to install another 7x Blue 30cm Bit Lights along the right side of the ship. Secure all Bit Lights using 7x provided LEGO Trans Clear Plate 1×1. Ensure you hide all cables underneath each tile directly above.

 

 

26.) Remove the following sections on the right side of the ship.

 

Take the back three blue bit light cables and connect them to the 12-Port Expansion Board near the control room area.

 

Group the three cables together and secure them along the back side of the control room. Reconnect sections we removed earlier over the top.

 

 

27.) Take the four remaining blue bit light cables toward the top right side of the ship and connect them to the next ports along on the 12-port expansion board above.

 

Turn the Battery Pack ON or USB power bank on verify all lights along the two sides are working OK

 

 

28.) Turn the ship back over to the left side and neaten up cables. Start by grouping together the four cables at the front of the ship (two from each side). Fold and twist them around each other several times so they all come together. Tuck the bunched up cables inside any of the spaces below.

 

Take the next two cables along the each side and then fold and twist them together before tucking them into the spaces below.

 

 

29.) Tidy up excess cables inside the control room area by grouping them together, folding and twisting them around each other the same way we did for the cables toward the front of the ship.

 

 

30.) Take a White Strip Light and connect a 5cm Connecting Cable to one side. Connect the other end of the connecting cable to a spare port on the 12-port expansion board in the control room area.

 

Using the strip light’s adhesive backing, stick the strip light down on the the floor of the control room toward the front area as per below

 

 

31.) We will now install some lights to the top of the star destroyer. First disconnect the following two dark grey round plates from the top toward the back of the ship.

Disconnect the section underneath as per below

 

 

32.) Take a Cool White 30cm Bit Light and with the cable facing toward the control room, place it over the left stud where we disconnected one of the dark grey round plates from.

Secure it in place by connecting a provided LEGO Trans Clear Round Plate 1×1 over the top, then hide the cable underneath the LEGO grill tile as shown below.

33.) Install another Cool White 30cm Bit Light to the right stud where we removed the other dark grey round plate from. Secure it in place using another provided LEGO Trans Clear Round Plate 1×1 then hide the cable underneath the grill tile.

34.) Lay the two cables down in between studs before reconnecting the section we removed earlier

 

Bring both cables down the left side of the star destroyer then remove the following side sections again

 

 

35.) Connect the two cables to a 6-Port Expansion Board. Take another 15cm Connecting Cable and connect it to the far end port on the expansion board.

 

Connect the other end of the 15cm connecting cable to a spare port on the 12-Port Expansion Board in the control room area.

Lay all cables neatly along the back side of the control room (right side) and then reconnect sections we removed earlier over the top.

Turn the battery pack ON to ensure all lights are working OK.

36.) We will now install lights to the back of the small star destroyer. Take this section and turn it over to the back. Flip it over to allow us to disconnect and disassemble the following pieces.

37.) Take a Cool White 30cm Bit Light and place it over the top of one of the round plates. Secure it in place by reconnecting a trans light blue plate over the top.

Take another Cool White 30cm Bit Light and place it over the top of the tile with stud. Secure it in place by reconnecting a trans light blue plate over the top.

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.

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.) Start by disconnecting the light grey dish piece on the very top of the Death Star followed by surrounding pieces to allow us to remove the four pillar sections with trans clear round plates.

2.) Disassemble pieces as per below and then take a White 30cm Bit Light and thread the connector side of the cable through the front of the red brick. Pull the cable all the way through from the back of the red brick until the Bit Light is up against the edge of the front hole. Bend the Bit Light slightly so that it is flat against the brick and then secure the Bit Light in place by reconnecting the trans clear round plate over the top, then reconnect this section to the grey bricks ensuring the cable is laid behind and then out above as shown below.

Repeat this step to install another 3x White 30cm Bit Lights to the remaining sections.

3.) Reconnect the sections back to the four sides along the top of the Death Star then take out an 8-port Expansion Board and connect the four Bit Lights to it.

Test the lights we have installed so far by taking the AA Battery Pack and inserting 3x AA Batteries to it. Connect the battery pack to a spare port on the expansion board then turn it ON to verify the lights are working OK.

If you’re using the USB Power Cable, connect this to the board this instead of the battery pack, and connect the other end to a USB Power Bank or wall adaptor (sold separately) and turn it ON to test the front lights are working OK.

4.) We will now light up the two sets of cannons along the top. First disconnect sections as per below

5.) Take one of the cannon sections and then disassemble pieces as per below

Take a Green 30cm Bit Light and then with the LED component facing down, place it over the top of the inside of the trans bright green round plate. Secure the Bit Light in place by connecting a provided Trans Bright Green Round Plate over the top.

Thread the other end of the bit light cable through the following two pieces and then carefully push the pieces up the bar ensuring the cable is laid in the spaces provided by each piece. Pull the bottom end of the cable down to ensure there is no loose cable then reconnect everything back to the remaining section.

Repeat this step to install another Green 30cm Bit Light using another provided Trans Bright Green Round Plate 1×1 to the other cannon in this set.

6.) Before reconnecting the set of cannons, disconnect the following pieces from the base.

7.) Take one of the cannons and then thread the cable through the round space of the black technic piece. Thread the cable all the way through before reconnecting the cannon. Ensure that the cable is facing the low end of the canon and not visible from the top.

Repeat this step to reconnect the other cannon

8.) To ensure we have enough cable slack, lift the cannons all the way up and then lay the cables in between studs before reconnecting surrounding pieces.

Place the cannons back to original position and then reconnect remaining pieces we removed earlier

Repeat steps 5–8 to install another 2x Green 30cm Bit Lights using another 2x Provided Trans Bright Green Round Plate 1×1 to the other set of cannons.

9.) Take 2x 6-port Expansion Boards and connect the lights from the left set of cannons to one of the expansion boards, and then connect the lights from the right set of cannons to the other expansion board.

Take 2x 5cm Connecting Cables and connect one to each expansion board.

Take a Multi Effects Board and connect the other ends of each of 5cm Connecting Cables to the OUT Ports (side with 2 ports)

We now need to set the desired “firing cannon” effect on the multi effects board. To do this, connect the AA Battery Pack (or usb power cable) to the IN port and then turn the battery pack ON. Set the switch to the middle for the “emergency effect” and then turn the dial to the slowest speed. This best replicates the firing cannon effect and should look similar to the below

10.) Disconnect the AA Battery Pack (or usb cable) from the multi effects board and then connect another 5cm Connecting Cable to the IN port and then connect the other end of the cable to a spare port on the 8-port Expansion Board from step 3.

Remove the wall directly behind the cannons and then group the four cannon cables together and lay them down towards the middle. Reconnect the wall over the top ensuring the cables are neatly laid in the space underneath.

11.) Turn the Death Star around and then eliminate excess cable from the White Bit Lights by grouping them together and then twisting them around each other as per below

Neatly place all the components (including expansion boards and multi effects board) down the middle of the Death Star.

12.) We will now light up the Death Star super laser. Disconnect this section and then disassemble pieces which make up the centre laser as per below:

Reassemble the centre laser without the centre white bar and the bottom brick.

Take a Green 30cm Bit Light and then place it on top and in the middle of the bottom brick (facing up). Secure the Bit Light in place by reconnecting the rest of the centre laser section directly over the top.

13.) Remove all the outer laser sections from the dish then disconnect the dark and light grey dishes from the front and back.

14.) Take a Green 30cm Bit Light and place it over the following stud. Ensure the other end of the cable is facing toward the left then reconnect one of the outer laser sections directly over the Bit Light as per below:

You will notice that after reconnecting the laser section over the bit light, the Bit Light is now slightly bent facing the left. To correct this, disconnect the laser section leaving only the bottom brick connected. Flip the laser section over and then using the tip of the laser, push it down the top hole of the bottom brick to push the bit light down so that it faces up. Once the bit light is correctly facing up again, reconnect the laser section.

Slip the Bit Light cable in between lego pieces as per below

15.) Repeat previous step to install another Green 30cm Bit Light to the outer laser to the left.

Follow the same process to install another 6x Green 30cm Bit Lights to the remaining outer lasers then bend the outer lasers back in to original position.

16.) Take the light grey dish and place it behind ensuring all cables are along the outside as per below

Group all the cables together and then twist them around each other all the way to the end of the cable to form one larger cable.

Reconnect the dark grey dish to the front and then take the centre laser section and thread the cable through the middle hole. Pull the cable all the way out from behind before re-positioning the centre laser back into place.

Twist the centre laser cable around the rest of the cables and then reconnect the entire super laser section back to the Death Star.

17.) Disconnect the following pieces from the super laser control station

Take a 12-Port Expansion Board and connect all the cables from the super laser to it.

Take a 5cm Connecting Cable and connect it to the outer port on the expansion board. Connect the other end of the cable to one of the OUT ports on a new Multi Effects Board (side with 2 ports)

Configure the effect for the super laser by connecting the AA Battery Pack (or USB Power Cable) to the IN port of the multi effects board and turning it ON. Set the switch to the far left for the ‘Pulse’ effect and set it to the slowest speed by turning the wheel. The effect should look similar to the below:

18.) Remove the AA Battery Pack (or USB cable) from the multi effects board and connect a 30cm Connecting Cable to the IN port.

Neatly tuck in the expansion board and multi effects board inside the control station.

Thread the other side of the 30cm Connecting Cable in the top corner spacing that leads to the inside centre of the Death Star. Pull the cable out from the other side and connect it to a spare port on the 8-port Expansion Board from step 3.

Neaten up the components and wiring inside the control station and then reconnect the pieces we removed earlier.

19.) We will now light up the Emperor’s throne room. First remove the sections on each side of the Emperor Palpatine and then disconnect the black dishes from the top of each side.

Take a White 30cm Bit Light and thread the connector side of the cable through the hole on top of one of the dish pieces. Thread it all the way through and then secure it in place by connecting one of the provided Trans Dark Blue Round Plates 1×1 over the top.

Thread the cable all the way through one of the spaces along the side of the section underneath before reconnecting the dish.

Repeat this process to install another White 30cm Bit Light to the other side section using another provided Trans Dark Blue Round Plate 1×1.

Reconnect both side sections back the throne room ensuring each cable is laid toward the left and behind Palpatine’s chair.

20.) Remove all the mini figures except for Palpatine.

Remove the lightsabers from Luke and Vader and then replace them with the Blue and Green Light My Bricks Lightsabers.

21.) Reposition Luke and Vader as per below and then lay both cables toward the right.

Thread both cables behind the stairs and the out through the left side as shown below.

Connect the two lightsaber cables as well as the two from Palpatine’s sides to a new 6-Port Expansion Board.

22.) Clean up excess/messy cabling by grouping together the four cables, then twisting them around each other as per below:

Take a 30cm Connecting Cable and connect one side to the expansion board and then thread the other side through the top corner spacing that leads to the centre of the Death Star. Pull the cable out from the other side and then connect it to the next port along the 8-port Expansion Board from step 3.

23.) Tuck the 6-port expansion board and cabling in behind the stair case and left pillar as shown below

Secure the lightsaber cables underneath the following pieces.

Test the lights from this section are all working OK by connecting the AA Battery Pack or USB Cable to the 8-port expansion board above and turning ON.

24.) Take 2x Blue Strip Lights and 2x LEGO Plates 1×6. Stick the strip lights to the base of each plate using it’s adhesive backing.

Take 2x 15cm Connecting Cables and connect one between the two strip lights and other other to the outside port of one of the strip lights.

Thread the other end of the 15cm Connecting Cable through the corner space in the Emperor’s throne room and then pull it out from the other side to connect to the 8-port Expansion Board from step 3.

25.) Mount the first Blue Strip Light to the top right of the Emperor’s Throne room in the following position.

Take another 15cm Connecting Cable and connect it to the other end of the second Blue Strip Light before mounting it to the top left of the Emperor’s Throne room in the below position.

Tuck the cable that connects the two strip lights together in between pieces as shown below

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!

Instructions for this Kit

1.) Start by removing BB-8’s head and then turn the body around and using the LEGO removal tool, remove the back section.

2.) Disconnect BB-8’s eye section and then disassemble pieces as per below.

Take a Red 30cm Bit Light and then place the LED component in the centre of the round plate with stud. Take the provided LEGO Plate 2×2 with rounded bottom (Trans Clear) and connect it over the top securing the bit light in place.

Ensure the LED component is facing up

Turn this section over and then pull the cable across before reconnecting this section back to the light grey dish piece. The cable should be neatly laid underneath in between the eye section.

Reconnect the bar section underneath as per below.

3.) Take BB-8’s head and then turn it over to disconnect the following sections underneath.

Disconnect the following section from the top of BB’8’s head.

4.) Disconnect the dark grey dish from the front right and then disconnect the trans dark blue tile from the top.

Take a Blue 30cm Bit Light and thread the connector side of the cable through the top of the dark grey dish. Thread it all the way through until the LED component is right up against the top of the dish.

Secure the light in place by connecting a provided LEGO Round Plate 1×1 (Trans Dark Blue) over the top.

5.) Thread the other side of the Blue 30cm Bit Light through the space on the corner and then pull the cable all the way out from the top to allow you to then reconnect the blue light section.

Thread the cable down through to the top of the head using the following hole and then pull it all the way through from underneath.

6.) We will now install lights for the following sections of BB-8’s head.

From underneath of the head section, disconnect the top left section and then disconnect and disassemble the following pieces as per below:

7.) Take a White 30cm Bit Light and then place it over the orange stud. Ensuring the cable is facing up, secure it in place by reconnecting the Trans Light Blue 1×1 Plate, then reconnect this section back to the rest.

Ensure the cable is laid neatly in between studs before reconnecting this section back underneath the head. The cable should be laid out in between the red and grey pieces as shown below.

8.) Disconnect the section on the top right underneath the head and then disconnect and disassemble the following pieces as per below:

Take a White 30cm Bit Light and then place it over the orange stud with the cable facing diagonally to the top left. Secure it in place by reconnecting the two Trans coloured 1×1 Plates.

Reconnect this section back ensuring the cable is top left and laid neatly in between bricks then reconnect this section back underneath the head.

9.) From the top of the head, push the following section down by pressing down the yellow 2×2 brick. The middle section underneath should come down slightly. Thread the cable from the top right section in through the space as per below:

Pull the cable all the way through and then push the middle section up to secure it back into place.

Both cables should now be laid out in between the red and grey pieces as shown below.

10.) Reconnect BB-8’s eye section ensuring the cable from the eye light is facing down.

11.) Take the following section we removed earlier and then disconnect the following pieces as per below:

12.) Take the Flashing White 30cm Bit Light and then place it over the hole of the white technic brick with cable facing up. Push the Bit Light inside the whole and then secure it in place by connecting the provided LEGO Round Plate 1×1 (Trans Clear).

13.) Reconnect the triangular white plate and then thread the end of the cable all the way down through the following hole of the dark grey technic plate.

14.) Thread the end of the cable from BB-8’s eye down through the same hole in the previous step.

15.) Group the three other cables from BB-8’s head and thread them through the following hole of the dark grey technic plate.

16.) With all the cables thread through the holes, bring the bottom section up and then reconnect it underneath the head section.

If you look directly at the front of BB-8’s head, you will notice that the front plate section does not connect all the way up. This is perfectly fine given the cables underneath and will not impact the final design.

Reconnect the section back on top of BB-8’s head

17.) Group all 5 cables together and then twist them around each other to neaten and form one large cable.

18.) Take a 6-Port Expansion Board and then connect all 5 cables to it.

Test the lights we have installed so far by taking the Flat Battery Pack and inserting 2x CR2032 Batteries to it. Connect the battery pack cable to the spare port on the expansion board and then turn on the battery pack.

Important Note: 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.

Once you have confirmed all is working OK, disconnect the battery pack and then reconnect the middle shaft section we disconnected at the start.

19.) Take the head section over the top of the body and then thread the expansion board and cables down through the top of the body. Pull everything all the way down from the inside and then reconnect BB-8’s head.

Reconnect the dark grey 1×1 round brick underneath.

Repeat the previous 2 steps to install another Red 30cm Bit Light to another cannon.

35.) Reconnect the 2 cannons with lights to the cannon base. Connect one on the top left and the other on the bottom right ensuring the cables are facing the same way as per below.

Take the 2 cables and then wind them around each other from top to the bottom so they become one larger cable.

36.) Repeat steps 34 and 35 to install lights to the other 2 remaining top cannons using another 2x Red 30cm Bit Lights and provided Trans Red 1×1 Round Plates.

37.) Reconnect the 2 cannons with lights back to the cannon base (this time top right and bottom left) and then wind the 2 cables around each other just like we did for the previous 2 cables.

38.) Take 2x 6-Port Expansion Boards and 2x 5cm Connecting Cables. Connect a 5cm cable to each expansion board and then connect 2 bit lights from each cannon to each expansion board as shown below.

39.) Wind all the cables around each other from top to bottom forming one larger cable.

Take the round roof section, open the window and then thread the expansion boards and rest of the cable through the top. Thread the cable all the way through.

Before reconnecting the cannon section, disconnect one of the side pieces and then neatly place the large cable inside before reconnecting this section.

Note: if you decide that it is more visually appealing to leave the trans red pieces off, you can simply remove them so they look more like the original set.

40.) Place the upper cannon section on the roof of the falcon but do not reconnect it just yet.

Connect the ends of each 5cm cable from the each expansion board into each output port of the Multi Effects Board we connected in step 21.

42.) We now need to setup the chosen effect on the Multi Effects Board. First turn on the power and then set the switch on the multi effects board to the middle (we will be using the emergency effect to display as the shooting canon effect). Turn the effect dial all the way to the left for the slowest effect. You should now see the upper cannons firing away in sequence.

43.) We will now install lights to the cannons below the ship. First disconnect the canon section at the technic blue pin and then disassemble pieces from the 4 cannon sections as per below.

Repeat steps 32–37 to install another 4x Red 30cm Bit Lights to the 4 lower canons using the provided Trans Red 1×1 Round Plates.

Wind all the cables around each other from top to bottom forming one larger cable and then thread the cable into the space in the middle of the canon base.

44.) From the top of the Millennium Falcon use a long stick/straw/pen to push down to open the round LEGO glass piece then feed up from underneath the large cable of Bit Light cables.

Pull the cables up from the below opened window and then connect 2 of the cables to each 6-port expansion board. We need to ensure that 2 cables from the top left and bottom right cannons are connected to one expansion board and the other cables from the top right and bottom left cannons are connected to the other expansion board. Turn the power on to verify/adjust accordingly.

Reconnect the bottom cannons at the technic blue pin and pull up (from above) any excess cable before closing (pushing up) the LEGO glass piece.

Before reconnecting the main round roof section above, neatly tuck the expansion boards, effects board, and any excess cabling into the middle section.

This finally completes installation of your UCS Millennium Falcon Lighting Kit. Now turn ON your light kit and ENJOY!

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!


Instructions for installing this kit

1.) We will first install lights to the upper cannons. Start with one of the upper cannons and disconnect the top section and then disassemble pieces as per below

2.) Take one of the provided LEGO trans red saber bars and replace the light grey bar from this set.

Take a White 30cm Flashing Bit Light and then bend the tip of it up in a 90 degree angle as shown below

Place the Bit Light (face down) into the inside of the bottom of the cannon section. Place it as far down inside as you can

Carefully reconnect this section back to the cannon pole.

3.) Pull the Bit Light cable toward the back and then loop it around toward the inside of the pole. Secure the cable in place by using one of the provided LEGO 1×2 Plates to mount up underneath the wing as per below.

Ensure the cable is laid in between the lego studs.

4.) Take a White Strip Light and then connect the Bit Light cable into one of the ports, then take a 15cm Connecting Cable and connect it to the other port.

5.) Peel off the adhesive backing from the Strip Light and then stick it underneath the wing in the following position.

Thread the other end of the 15cm connecting cable up through the space which leads to the top side of the wing. Pull the cable up from the other side.

6.) Remove the following sections of the top of the X-Wing to allow us to lay the cable underneath.

Reconnect pieces over the top of the cable ensuring it is first laid neatly in between studs.

7.) Take a 6-Port Expansion Board and connect the 15cm cable into one of the ports.

8.) Turn the X-Wing around and repeat steps 1–5 to install another Flashing White 30cm Bit Light, White Strip Light, and 15cm Connecting Cable to the upper wing on the other side of the space ship.

9.) Thread the other end of the 15cm Connecting cable up through the following spacing which leads to the other side. Pull the cable up from the other side.

Remove the following pieces around the top of the X-Wing and then pull the cable over and lay in between studs. Reconnect pieces over the top.

10.) Connect the cable from this side into a spare port on the expansion board.

11.) Remove the following sections of the cockpit to allow us to then remove the joystick section. Disassemble pieces as per below.

12.) Take a White 30cm Bit Light and place it directly over the stud of black plate. Secure the Bit Light in place by connecting the provided LEGO Trans Blue 1×1 Plate over the top.

Reconnect this plate (this time with the trans blue plate facing up) back to the joystick and then reconnect back to the cockpit.

13.) Remove the following sections (including R2D2) to allow us to pull the Bit Light cable toward the back.

Carefully lay the cable in between studs and then reconnect pieces we removed over the top.

Reconnect remaining sections of the cockpit

14.) Take the Bit Light cable from the cockpit and then connect it to the next available port on the 6-port expansion board.

Take this time to test the lights we have installed so far. To do so, take the AA Battery Pack and insert 3x AA batteries into it. Take the battery pack cable and connect it to the expansion board. Turn the battery pack ‘on’ and verify all is working OK.

If you’re using the USB Power Cable, connect this to the board this instead of the battery pack, and connect the other end to a USB Power Bank or wall adaptor (sold separately) and turn it ON to test the lights are working OK.

 

Once you have confirmed all is working OK, disconnect the battery pack /usb cable from the expansion board and move on to the next step.

15.) Turn the X-Wing over so that you can access underneath and then remove the following sections.

16.) Turn the X-Wing back over and then take a new 15cm Connecting Cable and connect it to a spare port on the 6-port expansion board.

Thread the other end of this cable down through the spacing and then turn the X-Wing over to then pull the cable out from above.

17.) Take another 6-Port Expansion Board and then connect the other end of the 15cm connecting cable we pulled down into one of the available ports.

Turn the X-Wing back over again and then neaten up all the cables by tucking them as well as the expansion board in through the space. Reconnect R2D2 and the remaining sections we removed previously.

18.) We will now proceed to lighting the bottom cannons and wings on each side starting with the left section. Follow the same methods we used for the upper cannons to install another White Flashing 30cm Bit Light as well as provided Trans Red Saber Bar.

19.) Pull the cable back and then loop once around the cannon pole. Turn the X-Wing over and then secure the Bit Light cable in place by using a provided LEGO 1×2 plate to connect over it.

20.) Take a White Strip Light and then connect the bit light cable into one of the ports. Take a 15cm Connecting Cable and connect it to the other port on the Strip Light.

Stick the White Strip Light down in the following position underneath the bottom left wing using the adhesive backing.

21.) Take the other end of the 15cm cable from the strip light and then loop it under the White 2×12 LEGO plates. Pull it out from underneath and then connect it to the next available port on the 6-port expansion board.

22.) Repeat previous steps to install another Flashing White 30cm Bit Light, Trans Red Saber Bar, White Strip Light and 15cm Connecting Cable to the right cannon and wing.

If you find that you have excess cable from the bit lights, you can secure them down to prevent them from dangling by reconnecting LEGO tiles over them. Just ensure the cable is laid in between studs.

23.) Take the other end of the 15cm connecting cable from the strip light and then connect it to the next available port on the 6-port expansion board.

Reconnect the 2×12 LEGO plates we removed in step 15.

Take this time to test the lights we installed to the bottom wings and cannons by connecting the battery pack cable /usb cable into one of the spare ports on the expansion board. Turn the battery pack ‘on’ and verify all is working OK

24.) We will now move onto lighting the back jets. First disconnect the top left jet section and then open sections up to remove the trans pink pieces.

Take a White 30cm Bit Light and then thread the connector side through one of the spaces that allow for the cable to be threaded half way down the jet.

Remove the bottom barrel piece and pull the wheel piece down to allow you to thread the rest of the cable through one of the holes in the wheel piece.

Once the cable is thread through, push the wheel piece up and then thread the cable through one of the holes in the barrel piece.

Hold the Bit Light over the centre of the jet and then secure in place by reconnecting the trans pink pieces over the top.

Close the surrounding sections of the jet.

25.) Take the jet section and then thread the cable from the bottom of it through the space at the top of the wing. Pull the cable down from underneath the wing and then thread through the space which leads underneath at the open section.

Pull the cable all the way through and then reconnect the jet section back to the X-Wing.

26.) Repeat the previous two steps to install another White 30cm Bit Light to the upper right jet.

27.) Take another 6-Port Expansion Board and then connect a 5cm Connecting Cable to one of the outside ports.

Take the two Bit Lights from the upper jets and then connect them to available ports on the expansion board we have just used.

28.) Repeat the same process as we did for the upper jets to install another White 30cm Bit Light to the bottom left jet.

Take the cable from the jet and thread though the space which leads inside and then pull down from underneath at the open section.

Reconnect the Jet and then connect the Bit Light from this jet to the next port on the expansion board below (same expansion board as the one used to connect the upper two jets).

29.) Repeat this process again to install the last White 30cm Bit Light to the remaining lower jet and then connect the bit light into the expansion board.

30.) Take the Multi Effects Board and then connect the other end of the 5cm connecting cable (from the expansion board in previous steps) into one of the output ports (side with 2 ports).

In order to configure the effect you want, take the AA battery pack /usb cable and connect the cable into the input port of the effects board (side with one port)

Turn the battery pack on and then turn the switch on the effects board to the far left for the ‘flicker’ effect. Turn the wheel on the effects board to adjust the speed of the effect.

Once you are happy with the effect for the jet lights, carefully disconnect the battery pack cable /usb cable and then move onto the next step.

31.) Take another 5cm Connecting Cable and connect it to the input port on the multi effects board. Connect the other end of the cable into the other 6-port expansion board (where we connected strip lights to)

32.) Tuck the 6-port expansion board (with the bit lights from jets), effects board, and cables into the centre space. Leave the 6-port expansion board (with effects board connected to) out.

Reconnect the 4×8 plate we removed earlier in step 15.

33.) Take the AA Battery Pack /usb cable and connect the cable into the 6-port expansion board we have left out.

Tuck in the expansion board in with the rest of the components, leaving out the battery pack cable /usb cable.

34.) Take the remaining section we removed earlier in step 15 and then disconnect and discard the section with the dark grey 2×6 plate.

Reconnect this remaining section back to cover up the space underneath the X-Wing.

35.) Carefully turn the X-Wing over and then place it back onto the stand with the battery pack placed behind.

This now completes installation of the Light My Bricks Lighting kit for the LEGO UCS Red Five X-Wing.

Turn the battery pack on and ENJOY!

Installing Bit Lights under LEGO® bricks and plates.

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


OK, Let’s Begin!


Instructions for installing this kit

We need to start by taking the wings off.

Remove pieces in reverse order to the way they were installed.
Pull the dark grey modified plate with door rail towards the centre of the ship.

Pry off the 2 x 2 light grey tile. Using a brick separator can be helpful.

Remove the 2 x 2 light grey plate.

Pry back the pieces that were right next to the 2 x 2 light grey plate. They have hinged ends and will swing away, towards the wing.

At this point I like to replace the light grey 2 x 2 plate so I don’t lose it 🙂

Once you have rpeated the above steps for the front and back of each wing, you can carefully lift them off.
Remember that they are quite heavy and the ship will be easilly unbalanced of you just take one off without counter balancing the other one.

Pull the main part of the ship off the stand and turn the back towards you.

Look for the dark grey octagon shaped piece.

Pry it away from and detach it from the body of the ship.

Grab a White 15cm Bit Light. Locate the trans-red 1 x 1 round Lego plates on the back.

Remove the trans-red 1 x 1 round Lego plates.
Rest the White 15cm Bit Light on top of the stud that the Lego plate came off. Make sure the yellow LED element is facing you.

Carefully replace the trans-red 1 x 1 Lego plate over the top of the White 15cm Bit Light.
Repeat these steps and fit another White 15cm Bit Light to the opposite side.

Turn the octagonal Lego piece over and remove one of the inverted slope pieces.

Run the White 15cm Bit Light cable towards the middle and then angled down as seen in the picture above.

Replace the inverted slope piece.

Remove the inverted slope piece that is diagonally opposite the first one you removed.
Run the White 15cm Bit Light cable in the same way as before and replace the inverted slope piece.

Grab the 6 Port Expansion Board and connect the wires from the two White 15cm Bit Lights to it.

As you prepare to reattach the octagonal piece, place the 6 Port Expansion Board over the back of the pilot’s chair and well inside the cockpit.

Reattach the octagonal piece.

Turn the ship around and open the hatch.

Remove the 1 x 4 light grey plates on either side of where the hatch closes.

Look for the octagonal piece on the front of the ship and remove it.

Apply some upward pressure to the arch piece above the cockpit. The arch piece as well as pieces attached above it will come away.

Pull the steering controls out of the ship.

Remove the trans-red tile from the steering controls.

Grab the trans-blue 1 x 1 round plate and a White 15cm Bit Light.
Rest the White 15cm Bit Light on top of the stud with the yellow LED element facing up.
Carefully fit the trans-blue 1 x 1 round plate over the White 15cm Bit Light.

Pull the 6 Port Expansion Board out of the cockpit.
Connect the White 15cm Bit Light on the steering controls to the 6 Port Expansion Board.
Reattach the steering controls and put the 6 Port Expansion Board back in the cockpit.

Grab the Multi-Effect Boards and the Flat Battery Pack.

Put batteries in the Flat Battery Pack and connect to the Multi-Effect Board as seen in the picture above.

Connect two of the White 15cm Bit Lights to the available two ports on the Multi-Effect Board.
Make sure the Multi-Effect Board switch is in the centre position.
Turn the Flat Battery Pack on and the lights will start flickering.
Adjust the dial on the Multi-Effect Board until you find a laser gun effect that you are happy with. This can be adjusted again later on.

Disconnect the Flat Battery Pack and the White 15cm Bit Lights from the Multi-Effect Board.

Remove the trans-red light cover pieces.
The light grey technic 1/2 pins may come out as well. If they do, put them back in place.

Use a brick separator or your finger nail to pry open a gap above the set of two inverted slope pieces.

Continue to expand the gap until the inverted slope pieces can be removed.

Wiggle the 1 x 2 plate with pin hole piece until it comes out. It has the technic 1/2 pin inside it.

Turn the 1 x 2 plate with pin hole piece around so you can access the back of it.

Grab a White 15cm Bit Light and feed the LED element inside the technic pin.
Stop feeding the White 15cm Bit Light in once the LED is just inside the technic 1/2 pin.

Replace the 1 x 2 plate with pin hole piece. The wires for the White 15cm Bit Light will be coming out the back.

Remove the light grey slope piece shown in the picture above.

Pull the White 15cm Bit Light wire vertically up.
Reattach the light grey slope piece trapping the White 15cm Bit Light wire on the far side of the slope.

Put the two inverted slope pieces back in place.

Install a bit light on the other side of the ship in the same fashion as we did this one.

Once lights are installed on both sides, check that the plates on the bottom of the ship are still neatly joined together and close pieces together where necessary.

Grab the Multi-Effect Board and the 5cm Connecting Cable.
Plug one end of the 5cm Connecting Cable into the Multi-Effect Board and the other end into an available port on the 6 Port Expansion Board.

Connect the two White 15cm Bit Lights installed in the front of the ship to the Multi-Effect Board.

Slide the Multi-Effect Board into the left hand side of the ship (as it is facing now).
There is a cavity in the wall that the effect board can sit in or in front of.

Grab the Flat Battery Pack and connect it to the 6 Port Expansion Board.

Place the 6 Port Expansion Board into the cavity on the right hand side of the cockpit and slide the Battery Pack down next to it (with the switch facing up towards the hatch).

Reattach the arch piece to the front, top of the cockpit.

Reattach the 1 x 4 tiles to either side of where the hatch closes.

Reattach the octagonal piece to the front of the ship.

Grab the Trans-Bright Green Lightsaber Bars and fit them into the technic 1/2 pins at the front of the ship.
Only push them in far enough to secure them. Remember, there is a bit light behind them.

Put the ship back on the stand and get ready to reattach the wings.
Feel free to attach the wings with the ship off the stand if you want to.

Once the hinged pieces are clipped back on, reattach the 2 x 2 tile and the pieces that have the 1 x 2 dark grey modified plate with door rail.

Now you can pop the hatch open, turn the power on and enjoy the lights!

OK, Let’s Begin!


Instructions for installing this kit




Start with the front of the Millennium Falcon facing you and remove the cone pieces around the cockpit.



Remove the front right section by holding it and pulling it to the right, away from the centre of the Millennium Falcon. This section is attached with technic pins so give it a wiggle if it isn’t coming off easily.



Remove the front left section by holding it and pulling it to the left, away from the centre of the Millennium Falcon. This section is attached with technic pins so give it a wiggle if it isn’t coming off easily.


We are going to install a White Bit Light in the front of each of the sections we just removed. Below are the steps for the right hand side section. Repeat these steps for the left hand side.



From the back, gently pry the dark grey wedge plate up and off the section. Let the round plate with the hole in it and the red 1 x 2 tile come away with it. Put these pieces to the side.



Working down the right side, remove the light grey wedge plate. Allow the round plate with the hole in it to come away with it. Put these pieces to the side as well.



Still working down the right hand side, remove the remaining light grey wedge plate. Let the 1 x 2 grille plate come away with it. Pop these pieces to the side with the others.



There is a 1 x 2 dark grey grille brick that is now accessible. Remove it.



Remove the front 1 x 2 modified plate with the transparent red piece attached to it.
Remove the transparent red piece.


It’s time to put this transparent red piece aside and replace it with a Lego Trans Red 1 x 1 Round Plate.




Grab one of the White Bit Lights and rest it over the stud on the 1 x 2 modified plate. Position it so that the wire comes down from the middle similar to that in the picture above. Gently place the Lego Trans Red 1 x 1 Round Plate over the White Bit Light.



Pick up the plug end of the White Bit Light and feed it through the hole in the 1 x 1 modified brick with headlight (that had the 1 x 2 brick with grille behind it).



As you pull the wire through and the modified 1 x 2 plate with the White Bit Light gets closer to the 1 x 1 headlight bricks, keep the wire on the underside of the 1 x 2 modified plate with the White Bit Light on it. 
Gently put the 1 x 2 modified plate back in position.



Feed the plug end of the White Bit Light underneath the 1 x 2 dark grey plate. There is a technic brick under there with a hole in it that the plug fits through.



Remove the 2 x 3 tan plate and run the wire across the point where the 1 x 2 black brick and the 1 x 2 dark grey brick corners touch.



Replace the 2 x 3 tan plate and run the wire straight out along the side of the 2 x 2 dark grey plate that sits on the black brick.



Replace the dark grey wedge plate with the round plate with the hole in it and the red 1 x 2 tile.



Replace the light grey wedge plate with the round piece with the hole in it.



Replace the 1 x 2 dark grey grille brick with the horizontal grille lines facing towards the wire.



Replace the last light grey wedge with 1 x 2 grille plate on it.

Repeat the above for the left section.



Find the Lego Trans Clear 1 x 1 Round Plates and have them ready.
Grab a Blue Bit Light and position it on top of the stud as seen in the photo above. Keep the wires facing roughly towards the back.


Gently place the Lego Trans Clear 1 x 1 Round Plate over the Blue Bit Light.



Grab the other Blue Bit Light and position is over the stud as seen in the picture. Keep the wires pointing out to the right and gently place the Lego Trans Clear 1 x 1 Round Plate over the Blue Bit Light.



Run the wire from the Blue Bit Light on the left around the back of Rey (or whoever you have in the pilot seat!) so both wires are running out to the right of the cockpit.




Pick up the left hand side front section. Make sure the wire runs out the back and then down. Reattach the front section.



Reattach the right hand side section, also keeping the wire running out the back and then down.



Replace the cone pieces around the cockpit.



Flip the Millennium Falcon up and let it rest on it’s end so you can access the bottom of the ship.



There are three wires on the left hand side of the ship. Grab the plug end of one of them and feed it through the hole in side of the long light grey technic brick.



Repeat the process for the other two wires and pull them through so that there is still a little slack in the wire before it goes through the technic hole (it doesn’t need to be pulled tight).



There is one wire on the right hand side of the ship. Grab the plug end and feed it through the hole in side of the long light grey technic brick.



Remove the 1 x 12 light grey plate that runs horizontally across the ship, just under where your wires are fed through the holes in the technic brick.
Spread the wires out and run them downwards. Hold the 1 x 12 grey plate so that there is a gap between it and the brick in the middle that the wires will run in between. Make sure the wires run in between the studs of the 1 x 12 grey plate.
Lock the 1 x 12 light grey plate back into position.




Grab the 12 Port Expansion Board and connect the plug ends of the four Bit Lights.
The 12 Port Expansion Board can rest in the cavity under the ship near where it is or it can hang freely. Just remember that it is there so we don’t damage as we work on other parts of the ship.



Place the Millennium Falcon back on its feet in front of you where you can easily access the gun turret on top of the ship.



Remove the gun turret from the turntable piece on top of the Millennium Falcon.



Remove the cone pieces with the technic pin pieces in them from the bracket piece.


Grab the four Lego Light Grey 1 x 1 Round Bricks.



The Lego Light Grey 1 x 1 Round Bricks are going have a Flashing White Bit Light inside each of them and then be placed on the bracket piece where the cone pieces were.




When fitting the Flashing White Bit Lights, make sure the yellow LED element is facing inside the round brick so when it is turned on, the light will shine out the smaller end of the round brick. 
Place a Flashing White Bit Light just inside the larger end of the Lego Light Grey 1 x 1 Round Brick. Bend the wires similar to that shown in the picture above to make fitting easier. Fix the Lego Light Grey 1 x 1 Round Brick to the bracket piece where a cone piece was.




Try to run the wires towards the middle of the bracket piece. We want to run them together along the top of the gun turret.



Attach the remaining Lego Light Grey 1 x 1 Round Bricks with Flashing White Bit Lights inside them.



Find the Lego Light Grey 1 x 2 Technic Brick and feed the plug end of the cables through the hole in the centre of the brick.




Pull the wires through and then attach the Lego Light Grey 1 x 2 Technic Brick to the piece immediately behind the hinge piece that has bracket piece attached to it.




Find the second (any colour) Lego 1 x 2 Technic Brick and feed the plug ends of the wires through the hole in the centre of it.


What you have now may look something like the picture above.



Reattach the gun turret to the turntable piece on top of the Millennium Falcon.




Lift the large round Lego piece (hatch) under the gun turret to reveal the gunner’s compartment.
Attach the second (any colour) Lego 1 x 2 Technic Brick to the 2 x 6 light grey plate on the underside of the hatch.



Lower the wires in to the gunner’s compartment and close the top hatch.



Flip the Millennium Falcon on to it’s side so that you can access the bottom of the ship.
Remove the large round Lego piece (hatch) that the bottom gun turret is mounted to.



Pull the Flashing White Bit Light wires through the bottom of the gunner’s compartment.
There is a square 6 x 8 technic piece surrounding the bottom of the gunner’s compartment. Feed the Flashing White Bit Light wires through the available centre hole in the side of this piece that faces towards the front of the ship. This will feed them into the cavity where the 12 Port Expansion Board is.



Plug the Flashing White Bit Light wires into the 12 Port Expansion Board.
Leave the gun turret hatch removed for now as we will be working in this area again soon.



Stand the Millennium Falcon upright again. Grab the Lego Trans Red Lightsaber Bars and fit them to the Lego Light Grey 1 x 1 Round Bricks. You don’t need to push them all the way in. Remember, there is a Flashing White Bit Light in each one, so push them in gently.

GREAT! Your plain grey guns are now light up laser cannons!


You are ready to move on to the rest of the kit……….


Turn the Millennium Falcon around so that the back section is facing you.



Remove the blue bricks with the dark grey round plates on top of them at either end of the long transparent light blue hose.






Remove the 1 x 6 light grey tile and the bricks attached to the tile (they should all come off together) from the three sections above where the hose was.



Grab two Strip Lights and a 5cm Connecting Cable.



Connect the two Strip Lights using the 5cm Connecting Cable.



Peel the backing off the Strip Lights and in the middle of the joins of each section that had the 1 x 6 tiles (and joined bricks) prepare to stick the Strip Lights on.
With the middle of the Strip Light in the centre of the join of each section, there will be enough of the sticky part on the back of the Strip Light to stick to two studs on both sections. Push them against the studs so they stick. They just need to be held here for now as the hose will also keep them in place permanently.


Both light strips stuck on should resemble the picture above.




Grab the 30cm Extension Cable and plug it in to the plug on the right hand side of the Strip Light on the right. Run the cable to the right and then down in between the next section.



Replace the two blue bricks attached to either end of the transparent light blue hose. The hose will need to sit a little further down the technic pin because it now needs to go over the Strip Lights.




Replace the 1 x 6 light grey tile with the bricks attached to the three sections above where the hose is.


Get all the items together from the photo above; three Lego Light Grey 1 x 6 Plates, four Lego Light Grey 1 x 1 Plates, three Strip Lights and two 5cm Connecting Cables.



Put one of the Lego Light Grey 1 x 1 Plates on each end of two of the Lego Light Grey 1 x 6 Plates.



Peel the adhesive backing off the Strip Lights and stick them to the back of each of the Lego Light Grey 1 x 6 Plates.



Put the Lego Light Grey 1 x 6 Plates that does not have Lego Light Grey 1 x 1 Plates attached to it in the middle of the other two. Connect the three Strip Lights together with the two 5cm Connecting Cables.



Open up the Millennium Falcon and give yourself clear access to where Han Solo sits (when he’s not in the cockpit!).



Get the Strip Lights ready. We are going to mount the centre one first.



Directly above the console where Han Solo sits, there is a ledge that the Lego Light Grey 1 x 6 Plate can attach to.



Follow the round edge of the dark grey round corner plate around to the right. Attach the Lego Light Grey 1 x 1 Plate (that is attached to the Lego Light Grey 1 x 6 Plate) to the corner of the dark grey round corner plate.




The Lego Light Grey 1 x 1 Plate on other end of the Lego Light Grey 1 x 6 Plate will attach to the corner of another dark grey round corner plate.



From where Han is sitting, follow the round edge of the dark grey round corner plate around to the left. Attach the Lego Light Grey 1 x 1 Plate (that is attached to the Lego Light Grey 1 x 6 Plate) to the corner of the dark grey round corner plate.



The Lego Light Grey 1 x 1 Plate on other end of the Lego Light Grey 1 x 6 Plate will attach to the corner of another dark grey round corner plate.



Grab the 15cm connecting cable. We are going to use it to connect the Strip Lights to the 12 Port Expansion Board.
With the ship facing away from you, locate the Strip Light on the left hand side. The available port on the Strip Light will be sitting above a wrench mounted on the wall.



In the floor beneath the Strip Light is the hidden storage compartment. Lift the compartment hatch and pull it out of the clips that it is attached to.



Connect the 15cm Connecting Cable to the Strip Light. Run the 15cm Connecting Cable around the back of the wrench clipped to the wall. Run the cable down and inside the hidden compartment. Run the cable down the right hand side of the clip on the right.



Reattach the compartment hatch. Place the available plug of the 15cm Connecting Cable inside the compartment with any excess cable that now runs below the hatch hinge. Close the hatch.




Close up the Millennium Falcon and stand it on its end so that you can access the bottom of the ship.



On the right hand side of the ship is the bottom panel of the hidden storage compartment.
Push the red technic pins with stop bushes out.



Pull the hidden compartment down an off the plates it is attached to. The 15cm Connecting Cable should now be hanging freely down.



Remove the 2 x 6 white modified plate.



Run the plug end of the 15cm Connecting Cable through the side of the technic brick so that it comes out above the blue 1 x 4 plate.



Pull the cable through and grab the white 2 x 6 modified plate.
Reattach the white 2 x 6 modified plate making sure that the 15cm Connecting Cable runs in between the studs of the white 2 x 6 modified plate that are going to be locked in to place.



Run the plug end of the 15cm Connecting Cable up through the same hole in the technic brick that the Flashing Bit Lights are running through.


Connect the 15cm Connecting Cable to the 12 Port Expansion Board.




Replace the hidden compartment and push the red technic pins with stop bushes back in.




Look to the bottom left of the ship. The 30cm Connecting Cable should be visible down there.
There is a 6 x 6 plate above the bottom left landing gear. Remove the 6 x 6 plate.



Feed the 30cm Connecting Cable through the side of the technic brick. The cable runs underneath where the 6 x 6 plate was.




Run 30cm Connecting Cable up through the left most available hole in the side of the square 6 x 8 technic piece that surrounds the bottom of the gunner’s compartment.



Continue to feed the 30cm Connecting Cable up through the left most available hole in the top side of the square 6 x 8 technic piece that surrounds the bottom of the gunner’s compartment.
Plug the 30cm Connecting Cable into the 12 Port Expansion Board.




Replace the 6 x 6 plate above the bottom left landing gear.



Replace the hatch and bottom guns.




Grab the Lego 6 x 8 Plate or 8 x 8 Plate. We are going to put it over the top of the 12 Port Expansion Board and excess wire to ensure they stay up and out of the way.
Slide the 12 Port Expansion Board inside the cavity where it should roughly be already. If vertical, the 12 Port Expansion Board will fit perfectly inside the cavity. Gather the excess wires together and then pin them under your finger.
Fix the 6 x 8 Plate or 8 x 8 Plate over the top.



Stand the ship upright again with the front facing away from you.
Open up the roof sections so you can access the interior of the back of the ship.
Locate the available Strip Light port that runs along the right hand side of the ship.



Grab the Standard Battery Pack and put three AA batteries in it.
Slide the Standard Battery Pack in underneath the Strip Light you located. Make sure the On / Off switch is facing up and the wires are pointing towards the back of the ship.


The last thing to do is plug the Standard Battery Pack plug into the Strip Light.

CONGRATULATIONS! You have finished. Turn the Standard Battery Pack on and enjoy the lights!




Light My Bricks : R2-D2 LED Lighting Kit

Here is the instruction document for the Lego R2-D2 LED lighting kit. Please read and follow the steps carefully to ensure this lighting kit is installed properly.

If you run into any issues, please refer to the online troubleshooting guide.

To ensure a trouble-free installation of your light kit, please read and follow each step carefully. These instructions can be downloaded in PDF format here


Package contents:

2 x White 30cm Bit Lights
2 x Blue 30cm Bit Lights
1 x 6 Port Expansion Board
1 x Battery Pack (3 x AA Batteries not included)


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.

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

Installing Bit Lights under LEGO® bricks and plates.

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


OK, Let’s Begin!


Instructions for installing this kit

The first thing we need to do is take R2’s head off. I know, it sounds brutal but he can’t feel it anyway, right??
If you gently hold his head and lift upward, it should easily come off.

Look at the front of R2’s head, look for two trans-clear 1×1 plates and remove them.

Grab two of the bit lights and angle the end so that the light is perpendicular to the wire.

Feed the connector end of each bit light into the square hole left by removing the 1×1 trans-clear plates.

Once they are thread all the way through, the LED will sitting inside the square hole facing towards the front.

Let the plug ends of wires rest where they will……we will get to those later.
Replace the two 1×1 trans-clear plates.

Remove the 1×1 round trans-red plate from the front of R2’s head.

Grab one of the bit lights and angle the end so that the light is perpendicular to the wire.

Feed the connector end of the bit light into the round hole in the blue brick left by removing the 1×1 round trans-red plate.

Once the wire has been fed all the way through, the bit light will sit on the outside of the round hole in the blue brick.

Replace the 1×1 round trans-red plate.

Now remove R2’s projector piece by holding it and pulling it forward and out.

The projector piece came out of a 1×1 brick with a blue technic pin in it. The 1×1 brick can move from side to side a bit leaving a gap on the left hand side of the brick between it and the rest of R2’s head.

It is in this gap that we want to run the wires for the last bit light. The plug won’t fit through this gap, so we need to pry some pieces apart to feed the plug through. If you lift from where the 1×1 panel is, you should get some natural separation of layers as seen below:

Pry the pieces apart until there is enough room to thread the plug end of the remaining bit light through.

Push a few inches of the wire through and let the wire rest next to the grey brick with the blue technic pin in it.

Press the pieces back together. The wire will be able to freely move in the gap.

The projector piece we removed is actually two pieces. Pull those pieces apart.

We are going to place the bit light inside the larger round piece making sure that the LED faces away from the hole we will put it in to. Gently bend the wires until it resembles the image below:

Place the bit light into the round space on the larger round piece just far enough so that the LED itself is inside the piece.

Gently replace the technic rod into the hole where the LED is. It will be a tight fit so you need to do it slowly to prevent damage.

Now you can return the projector piece to its place. Feed the wire back in through gap as you return the projector to its place.

With the projector piece back in place, we have all four LEDs where we want them and four wires hanging out from the inside of R2’s head.

Grab the 6 Port Expansion Board fit each of the plug ends of the bit lights into the board.

Now get the battery pack

Turn R2 around and sit the battery pack horizontally inside his body with the switch on the high side and facing back towards you.

Turn R2 back around and connect the plug from the battery pack to the 6 port expansion board.

You’ll see that there is an excess of wire from the bit lights to the 1:4 expansion adaptor. You can gather these up in whatever way you choose. One way is to wrap the wires around the centre pieces in R2 as seen below:

Caution: Do not rotate R2’s head after you put it back on. This may pull on the wires and damage them.
Carefully put R2’s head back on his body making sure that wires and connectors are clear of the outsider sides of the head.

Congratulations! You’re done!
To turn on, gently lift R2’s head until you can access the on / off switch.

Flick the switch, pop his head back on, turn him around and enjoy!
