Important things to note:

Laying cables in between and underneath bricks

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

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

Connecting cable connectors to Expansion Boards

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

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

Connecting cable connectors to Strip Lights

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

Connecting Micro Cable connectors to Micro Expansion Board Ports

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

Installing Bit Lights under LEGO® bricks and plates.

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

 

OK, Let’s Begin!

  1.) We will first install the headlights to the batmobile. Carefully remove the two headlight sections, then flip them over and disassemble the right headlight section as shown below.   Take a Warm White 30cm Large Bit Light and with the LED facing the opposite side to the sticker, place it inside the trans yellow brick. Bring the cable down the side where the sticker is, then secure the Bit Light in place by reconnecting the trans yellow plate over the top.     Repeat this step to install another 2x Warm White 30cm Large Bit Lights to the other two headlight pieces, then reconnect each one to the right headlight ensuring the LEDS are facing to the front.     2.) Bring the ends of the three bit light cables together and thread them through the space behind the headlights. Turn the batmobile onto it’s left side so we can access underneath. Find the three cables we threaded through behind the headlight and pull them all the way out at the front of the wheel.   Turn the vehicle back over and reconnect the right headlight ensuring the cables underneath are laid in between studs.   Turn the vehicle back onto it’s left side again and disconnect the front right wheel, then slightly bend the three cables into a hook shape and thread the cables through the following dark grey technic brick hole behind the wheel. Thread the cables through and pull them all the way out at the following space below.   Secure the cables around the top of the wheel axis by disconnecting the following light grey plate, laying the cables underneath in between studs, then reconnecting the plate over the top. It is important to ensure there is enough cable slack for the wheel to still be able to turn all the way left and right, so test this out to ensure all is ok.     3.) Thread the three cables through to the next space in the centre, then pull them all the way out.   Connect the three bit lights to a 12-Port Expansion Board. Take the AA Battery Pack and insert 3x new AA Batteries to it. Connect the Battery Pack cable to a spare port on the expansion board, then turn it on to test the right headlights are working OK   Note: If you experience any issues with the lights not working and suspect an issue with a component, please try a different port on the expansion board to verify where the fault lies (with the light or expansion board). To correct any issues with expansion board ports, please view the section addressing expansion board issues on our online troubleshooting guide.   Reconnect the wheel we removed earlier, then flip the batmobile back over and continue to the next step.     4.) Disassemble the left headlight section, then repeat step 1 and 2 to install another 3x Warm White 30cm Large Bit Lights and reconnect the headlight section.   Turn the vehicle back onto it’s right side and disconnect the front left wheel, then slightly bend the three cables into a hook shape and thread the cables through the following hole behind the wheel. Thread the cables through and pull them all the way out at the middle space as shown below.     5.) Secure the cables around the top of the wheel axis by disconnecting the following grey plate, laying the cables underneath in between studs, then reconnecting the plate over the top. It is important to ensure there is enough cable slack for the wheel to turn all the way left and right.   Pull the three cables all the way out the middle section and connect them to the 12-Port Expansion Board. Turn the AA Battery Pack ON to test both headlights are working OK.     Note: If you experience any issues with the lights not working and suspect an issue with a component, please try a different port on the expansion board to verify where the fault lies (with the light or expansion board). To correct any issues with expansion board ports, please view the section addressing expansion board issues on our online troubleshooting guide.   Reconnect the left wheel and turn the set back over.     6.) We will now install a light effect behind the front grill. First disconnect the top two sections surrounding it, then pull the grill section all the way out.   Pull back the rear wheel plate as shown below.   Take the Rotating White 30cm Bit Light and thread the connector side of the cable through the top of the rear wheel plate through the following hole.   Take an Adhesive Square and stick it to the bottom of the Rotating Bit Light, then stick the bit light to the top of the hole inside the rear wheel plate as shown below:     7.) Thread the Rotating Bit Light cable through the bottom space behind where the grill connects to, then turn the vehicle over and pull the cable all the way out from underneath as per below:   Before we reconnect the front grill, push the rear wheel plate back up but ensure you Do NOT push the technic pin the whole way back otherwise it will crush the rotating bit light inside. Push the rear wheel plate up so that you can still see the ridge that runs along the side of the wheel plate.   Ensure the Rotating Bit Light cable is facing up, then reconnect the grill section as well as the two arched sections above.     8.) From underneath the vehicle,  thread the Rotating Bit Light cable under and pull it out the space where all the headlight cables are located.   Pull the cable all the way out, then connect it to a spare port on the 12-Port Expansion Board. Turn the Battery Pack ON to test the Rotating Bit Light inside the grill is working OK. The LEDs should be illuminating in a rotating sequence to give a nice “engine rev” effect inside the grill.     9.) We will now install some lights and effects for the machine guns. First, lift this section up and remove the front half from each gun section.   Disassemble one of the guns as shown below then take a White 15cm Bit Light and thread the connector end of the cable down the front of the barrel. Thread it all the way through. The LED should fit snug inside the top of the barrel, with the led facing sideways. Reconnect this section to the bottom half of the gun ensuring the cable is facing the bottom.   Repeat this step to install another White 15cm Bit Light to the other gun section.     10.) Take the left gun section and thread the cable down the space underneath where it pops out of. Reconnect the gun to the base section, then turn the vehicle onto it’s right side and pull the cable out at the following position.   Pull the cable all the way down, then thread it through the technic brick hole underneath and pull it out of the space where the rest of the cables are.   Take the Gun Effects Board (GFX) , and connect the Bit Light cable to the channel 1 port. Ensure the channel switch is set to the middle for the “machine gun” effect. Alternatively, you can choose from one of the other gun effects.   Take a 5cm Connecting Cable and connect it to the IN port (+5V) on the Gun Effects Board. Connect the other end of the connecting cable to a spare port on the 12-Port Expansion Board. Turn the AA Battery Pack ON again, to test the machine gun light is working along with the machine gun effect.   Note: If you experience any issues with the lights not working and suspect an issue with a component, please try a different port on the expansion board to verify where the fault lies (with the light or expansion board or effects board). To correct any issues with expansion board ports, please view the section addressing expansion board issues on our online troubleshooting guide.     22.) Take the right gun section and repeat the previous step to reconnect and thread the bit light cable down underneath the vehicle. Connect the cable to Channel 3 on the Gun Effects Board.   Turn the Power ON to test both Machine Guns lights are working OK. They should be both firing at random rates.     23.) Turn the Batmobile around and remove the following sections from the back of the vehicle and from the back of the cabin.     24.) Disconnect the AA Battery Pack from the 12-Port Expansion Board underneath the Batmobile, then take a 50cm Connecting Cable and connect it to a spare port on the 12-Port Expansion Board.   Follow the below images to thread the other end of the 50cm Cable through the following technic brick holes in the middle to lead it toward the back of the vehicle.   Neaten up cables from the components toward the front of the vehicle by grouping them together and twisting and folding them into a neat bunch. Tuck both effects board and expansion board inside the centre spaces as shown below:     25.) Pull remaining excess of the 50cm Connecting Cable all the way out from the rear side, then connect it to an 8-Port Expansion Board. Tuck the expansion board up the following space which leads to the inside of the trunk.   Turn the vehicle back around and you should be able to easily access the expansion board inside the trunk of the vehicle.     26.) Disconnect the following pieces from the inside of the trunk. We will be discarding these pieces as we require this space to house the AA Battery Pack.   Take a 15cm Connecting Cable and connect one end to the 8-Port Expansion Board underneath. Connect the other end of the cable to the IN port on the NC Push Board.   Take another 15cm Connecting Cable and connect one end to the OUT port on the NC Push Board. Connect the other end of the cable to a 6-Port Expansion Board. Set all of these components inside the rear section of the vehicle for now.     27.) Disconnect the following section from both sides of the cabin.   Disconnect the trans black 2×2 rounded bottom plate from one of the sections, then place a Cool White 30cm Bit Light in the middle (led facing up). Reconnect the trans black 2×2 rounded bottom plate over the top, then repeat this step to install another Cool White 30cm Bit Light to the other section.   Reconnect each section to the vehicle ensuring the cable is facing toward the back. Pull down the angled plate behind it so we can neatly lay the cable behind and in between studs. Reconnect the plate to conceal the wiring as shown below.     Repeat this step to reconnect the other section to the right side.     28.) Connect both Bit Light cables we just installed to the 6-Port Expansion Board from step 26, then take the AA Battery Pack and place it inside the back of the Batmobile ensuring the switch is facing up and closest to the back. Connect the Battery Pack cable to the 8-Port Expansion Board (Do NOT connect the battery pack to the 6-port Expansion Board.)   Turn the AA Battery Pack ON to test all the lights are working OK. Test the NC push board is also working OK. Push the lever to test the the outside cabin lights we just installed turn OFF. The lights should re-activate when the push lever is released.     29.) Take the following section we moved just behind the cabin and turn it over so we can access underneath. Take a White Strip Light and connect a 15cm Connecting Cable to it.   Using it’s adhesive backing, stick the strip light underneath this section in the following position. Ensure the cable is facing the right, then bend the cable down so that it is facing the back of this section, as shown below.     30.) Bring this section above the batmobile, then locate the NC Push Board and remove the protective paper on the back of it to expose the adhesive. With the push button facing the front, stick the NC Push Board underneath the top cabin section in the following position. Ensure that the NC push board is mounted exactly as shown below and aligned exactly so that we do not have any issues reconnecting this section later.     Turn this section over and reconnect it to the back of the Batmobile while ensuring all cables are laid neatly in between studs underneath. The NC Push Board button should be peaking out slightly so that it pushes in when the cabin door is closed.   Locate the other end of the 15cm Connecting Cable from the White Strip Light and connect it to a spare port on the 6-Port Expansion Board at the back of the vehicle. Turn ON the Battery Pack to test all internal and external cabin lights are working OK. The lights should activate when the cabin door is open, and deactivate when the cabin door is closed.   Note: If you experience any issues with the lights not working and suspect an issue with a component, please try a different port on the expansion board to verify where the fault lies (with the light or expansion board or effects board). To correct any issues with expansion board ports, please view the section addressing expansion board issues on our online troubleshooting guide.   Neaten up cabling from the cool white bit lights by folding and twisting them into a neat bunch. Tuck the bunched up cables underneath the AA Battery Pack.     31.) We will now install the tail lights. First disconnect all of the following sections from the back of the vehicle as shown below.   Prop a large object like a book or the light kit box underneath the back of the Batmobile so that you can easily access underneath of the rear side, then disconnect the following section from each side of the tail light.     32.) Take the two tail light sections and disassemble the right tail light as per below. Take a Red 30cm Bit Light and thread the connector end of the cable through the top of the black round plate with centre open stud. Thread the Bit Light all the way through then carefully bend it so that the LED sits flat against the top of the plate. Secure the Bit Light in place by reconnecting the trans red dish over the top.   Reconnect the black tile underneath, then fold the cable underneath before reconnecting it to the tail light section. Ensure the cable is facing toward the left side as shown below:     33.) Take the following three pieces and swap out the black round plate 1×1 with a provided Black Round Plate 1×1 with open stud. Take another Red 30cm Bit Light and place it directly over the black tile’s stud. Secure it in place by connecting the provided black round plate with open stud over the top. Reconnect the trans red round tile.   Fold the bit light cable underneath the black tile before reconnecting it to the tail light section. Ensure the cable is facing the left side.   Fold both cables down the left side of the tail light, then reconnect this section to the back of the Batmobile. Ensuring both cables are folded down into the corner and laid in between studs before reconnecting the section we removed earlier over the top.   Thread both cables up the following section which leads to the inside of the trunk, then pull them all the way out from the inside. Reconnect the two sections we removed earlier to the right side.     34.) Repeat steps 32 and 33 to install another 2x Red 30cm Bit Lights to the left tail light section, this time, laying the cables toward the right side.   Fold the cables down the right side of the tail light, then reconnect it to the left side of the vehicle. Ensure you carefully lay the cables down in the corner before reconnecting the section we removed earlier over the top.   Thread the cables through to the inside of the trunk, then reconnect the following two sections to the left side.     Connect all four Red Bit Light cables to the 8-Port Expansion Board in the rear of the vehicle, then turn ON the Batter Pack to test the tail lights are all working OK.   Note: If you experience any issues with the lights not working and suspect an issue with a component, please try a different port on the expansion board to verify where the fault lies (with the light or expansion board or effects board). To correct any issues with expansion board ports, please view the section addressing expansion board issues on our online troubleshooting guide.     35.) Take a 5cm Connecting Cable and connect it a spare port on the 8-Port Expansion Board. Connect the other end of the cable to the IN port on the Flicker Effects Board (FFX).   Take a new 5cm Connecting Cable and connect it to one of the OUT ports on the Flicker Effects Board, then connect the other end of the cable to the remaining 8-Port Expansion Board in this kit.   Slide the AA Battery Pack out from the rear of the vehicle, then neaten up cabling by folding and twisting the tail light cables into a neat bunch. Tuck the bunched up cables underneath the red technic bar, then slide the AA Battery Pack back in ensuring the new 8-port expansion board from this step is still accessible.     36.) Take the jet section and remove the top technic wheel, then remove the 8 plates from the outside.   We will be sticking Bit Lights to the following 6 positions. Take note of the below image as a reference.   Take a White 15cm Bit Light and stick it to an Adhesive Square. Thread the connector end of the cable through the following space, then stick the Bit Light to the first location as shown below.     37.) Using the same method as in previous step, install another 5x White 15cm Bit Lights to this jet sections ensuring you stick the Bit Lights to the correct locations as shown below:   Turn this section around and continue.     38.) Reconnect the technic wheel to the top ensuring you the wheel holes align up to where the Bit Lights are installed underneath.   Reconnect the 8 plates to the outside of the Jet section, then from the back, seperate the cables into two groups. Twist or Braid the cables together as shown below.   Thread the two groups of cables all the way through the following two spaces, then reconnect the Jet section ensuring the two groups of cables are directly to each side.   Connect all six cables to the 8-Port Expansion Board, then turn on the AA Battery Pack to test the jet lights are working and flickering OK.   Test the machine guns can still be hoisted up and down by turning the Jet section. If you run into any issues, check the two group of bit light cables from the jet are neatly separated and installed exactly as shown in previous steps.     39.) Reconnect all the sections surrounding the back of the vehicle.   To access the battery, simply remove the backing.

OK, Let’s begin Part 2!

  47.) We will now install lights to the back jets. First disconnect the three larger jet sections, then follow the images below to disassemble one of them.     48.) Take a Cool White 30cm Large Bit Light and with the LED facing up, place it in the centre of the bottom of the rigid 2×2 round brick. Secure the Bit Light in place by reconnecting the trans light blue dishes over the top. You should be able to clearly see the LED peaking through the centre of the dishes.   Flip this section over and fold the cable down against the outside of the rigid brick, then thread the connector end of the cable through the inside of the Jet pieces, pulling the cable all the way out from the other side.   Reconnect the round technic pieces back on top, ensuring the yellow technic pin is connecting to the rigid brick on the inside of the jet. Push down the yellow technic pin so that the dark grey brick is flat and can easily reconnect to the back of the ship later.   Thread the jet light cable through the space just underneath where the left jet reconnects to, then from the inside of the ship, pull the cable all the way out. Securely reconnect the Jet to the back of the ship.   Connect the Large Bit Light to a new 6-Port Expansion Board.     48.) Follow the previous step to install another Cool White 30cm Large Bit Light to the middle Jet section.   Thread the Bit Light cable through the gap on the top right of where the middle Jet reconnects to. Pull the cable all the way out from the inside of the ship, then securely reconnect the middle Jet to the back of the ship.   From the back of the ship, thread the cable through the following space that leads to the inside, then from the the inside (turn the ship around to the right side), pull the cable all the way out. Locate the same 6-Port Expansion Board we connected the other Jet light to and pull it over to this side, then connect the bit light cable to it.     49.) Install another Cool White 30cm Large Bit Light to the right large Jet (using the same method used in previous steps), then thread the cable through the following gap just underneath where the right jet reconnects to. Pull the cable all the way out from the inside of the ship, then securely reconnect the right Jet to the back of the ship.   Connect the Bit Light cable to the same 6-port Expansion board as per previous steps, then connect a new 5cm Connecting Cable to a spare port. Connect the other end of the 5cm cable to one of the OUT ports on the Pulse Effects Board (PFX)   Take another 5cm Connecting Cable and connect it to the IN port on the Pulse Effects Board, then connect the other end of the cable to a spare port on the 12-Port Expansion Board on the right side of the ship.   Turn ON the power to test the large jet lights are working OK. They should also be pulsing via the effects board. We can configure the desired effect later on when we connect up the other jet lights.   Note: If you experience any issues with the lights not working and suspect an issue with a component, please try a different port on the expansion board to verify where the fault lies (with the light, expansion board, or effects board). To correct any issues with expansion board ports, please view the section addressing expansion board issues on our online troubleshooting guide.     50.) We will now light up the four smaller jet sections. First disconnect all four jets by pulling each one out as shown below:     51.) Take one of the jet sections and disassemble it as shown below, then take a Cool White 30cm Bit Light and thread the connector end of the cable through the top of the the trans light blue round brick. Pull the cable all the way out from the other side, then carefully bend the LED so that it sits flat against the top of the brick. Secure the Bit Light in place by connecting a provided Trans Light Blue Round Plate 1×1 over the top.   Carefully reconnect the black bar inside the round brick, then thread the connector end of the cable along with the black bar through the top of the jet section.   The cable should be laid inside space between the bar and corner axis.   Thread the connector end of the cable along with the black bar through the top of the two rigid 2×2 bricks, then securely reconnect everything together.   Ensure the cable is laid in the space in between black bar and axis.     52.) Bring this jet section close to the back of the ship and thread the bit light cable through the following space that leads to the inside of the ship. Pull the cable all the way out from the inside of the ship, then securely reconnect the jet section to the back as shown below.   From the inside of the ship, find the bit light cable and connect it to a new 6-Port Expansion Board.     53.) Using the same method we used to install the first smaller jet light, install another Cool White 30cm Bit Light to another Jet.   Thread the cable through the space just above the bottom jet at the back of the ship before securely reconnecting the jet. From the inside of the ship, pull the bit light cable out and connect it to the same 6-port expansion board we connected the first smaller jet light to.   Thread the 6-Port Expansion Board through the middle space into the right side of the ship. This will make it easier to locate the expansion board when we need to connect the other two smaller jets on the right side.     54.) Install another 2x Cool White 30cm Bit Lights to the two remaining smaller jets, then thread the cables through the following spaces before securely reconnecting them to the back of the ship. Pull each bit light cable out from the inside of the right side of the ship, then connect both bit lights to the 6-port Expansion board from previous step.     55.) Take a 5cm Connecting Cable and connect one end to a spare port on the 6-port expansion board we connected the smaller jet lights to. Connect the other end of the cable to the second OUT port on the Pulse Effects Board.   We can now configure the pulse effects board to your desired effect. This effects board has 3 different effects, which can be set using the 3-way switch on the board. Fast Pulse, Medium Pulse, Slow Pulse.   Turn ON the power to test all the jet lights are working and configure your desired effect.   Note: If you experience any issues with the lights not working and suspect an issue with a component, please try a different port on the expansion board to verify where the fault lies (with the light, expansion board, or effects board). To correct any issues with expansion board ports, please view the section addressing expansion board issues on our online troubleshooting guide.     56.) Reconnect the front right panel to the ship by clicking in the technic ball joints, then flip the set over and reconnect the front left panel.     57.) Take the following middle section we removed earlier and remove the first half of this section. Disconnect the light grey slope tile at the front, then take a Cool White 30cm Bit Light and with the cable facing down, place it over the front stud. Secure the light in place by connecting a provided Trans Clear Slope 30 1x1x2/3 over the top, then reconnect the two halves together.   Reconnect this section to the top of the ship, ensuring the bit light cable is laid underneath but is still accessible for us to connect it up later on.     58.) Turn the ship around again to the right side, then take the back right panel and disconnect the three laser cannon sections from it as shown below.   Take one of the laser cannons and disassemble as per below.     59.) This next process will be very similar to the process used to install the lights to the previous laser cannons. Take a Green 15cm Micro Bit Light and carefully bend the LED so that it is facing longways up. Thread the Bit Light inside the hole of one of the cannon pieces, then fold the cable down the side of the canon. Ensuring the cable is laid directly on the side of the stud, reconnect the 1×1 round plate over the top. The cable should be secured in between the plates.   Reconnect this section to the left cannon base, then reconnect it to the large plate ensuring the cable is laid underneath and in between the middle studs.   Install another Green 15cm Micro Bit Light to the right cannon, then reconnect it to the large plate ensuring the cable is laid underneath and in between studs.   Ensuring both micro bit light cables are laid in between studs, reconnect the angled plate behind the cannons, then reconnect the section to the right panel.     60.) Repeat the previous step to install lights to the two other cannon sections using 4x Green 15cm Micro Bit Lights. Reconnect each section to the right panel.     61.) Flip the entire right panel over, then connect the cables from the two outer cannons to a Micro 4-Port Expansion Board. Take the cables from the centre cannon and connect them to a different Micro 4-Port Expansion Board.   Take 2x 15cm Connecting Cables and each one to the two micro expansion boards’ large port.   Take 2x 30cm Connecting Cables and connect each one to the two micro expansion boards’ other large port.   Bring the entire panel up towards the ship and place the expansion boards and cables inside, then securely reconnect this panel using the technic ball joints. Reconnect the 2×4 tile and 2×2 rounded bottom plate to secure the front and back panels together.     62.) Bring the 4 connecting cables from the micro expansion boards inside the ship together and thread them underneath the middle section to the left side. Turn the ship over to the left side, then pull the four cables out.   Take the two 15cm connecting cables we pulled through from the other side and connect each one to a different OUT port (port 2 and 3) on the Gun Effects Board.   Turn the power ON to test all the cannons and blasters on the right side of the ship are working and firing in seperate sequences.     63.) We will now light up the cannons on the back left panel. First disconnect the three cannon sections, then repeat steps 58 to 59 to install 6x Green 15cm Micro Bit Lights to the three cannon sections     64.) Turn the panel around, then connect the bit light cables from the two outer cannons to a Micro 4-Port Expansion Board. Connect the bit light cables from the centre cannon to a new Micro 4-Port Expansion Board.   Bring the entire panel up and reconnect it to the top of the ship via the black technic ball joints, then secure the front and back panels by reconnecting the 2×4 tile and 2×2 rounded bottom stud.   Locate the other end of the two 30cm Connecting Cables we pulled through from the other side (step 62) and connect one to each of the micro expansion board’s large ports.   Turn ON the power to test all the cannon lights on each side are working OK and firing at different rates.     65.) Take a new 30cm Connecting Cable and connect it to the 12-Port Expansion Board on the left side of the ship toward the back. Bring the other end of the cable out toward the front, then secure it somewhere so that we can easily locate it later on.     66.) We will now install lights to the upper floor sections of the star destroyer. First take the upper left floor section and disconnect the following roof plate by pushing your finger up underneath.   Disconnect the following pieces on the side, then take a Flashing White 30cm Bit Light and with the cable facing down, place it over the right stud on the right plate. Secure the light in place by connecting a provided Trans Clear Round Plate 1×1 over the top.   Reconnect these two pieces together, then thread the bit light cable through the top of the floor before reconnecting all the pieces together ensuring the cable is laid underneath.     67.) We will now install a couple of lights to the lower part and to the back of this section. Lift this section up so we can better access the lower section. Take a Cool White 30cm Bit Light and with the cable facing down, place it over the following stud. Secure the light place using another provided Trans Clear Round Plate 1×1. Fold the cable underneath this section.   Take another Cool White 30cm Bit Light and with the cable facing down, place it over the following stud on the right of this section. Secure the light place using another provided Trans Clear Round Plate 1×1. Fold the cable underneath this section.     68.) Turn this section around to the back and disconnect the following pieces from the left side.   Take a Cool White 30cm Bit Light and with the cable facing down, place it over the stud on the top of the angled plate. Secure the light in place using another provided Trans Clear Round Plate 1×1. Place the angled plate back the section and while ensuring the cable is laid down in between studs, reconnect the 2×3 tile over the top, followed by the mechanical piece.   Fold the cable underneath this section, then place this section on top of the ship.

Important things to note:

Laying cables in between and underneath bricks

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

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

Connecting cable connectors to Expansion Boards

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

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

Connecting cable connectors to Strip Lights

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

Connecting Micro Cable connectors to Micro Expansion Board Ports

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

Installing Bit Lights under LEGO® bricks and plates.

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

 

OK, Let’s Begin!

  1.) Start by disconnecting  the following sections from the top of the ship.

  Use your LEGO removal tool to disconnect the following pieces to allow us to remove the two panels that make up the entire left section of the ship.   Disconnect the Tantive via the trans clear clip     2.) We will now install seven lights along the side of the ship. Take a Cool White 30cm Bit Light and with the cable facing up, place it over the following stud near the front of the ship. Secure the Bit Light in place by connecting a provided Trans Clear Round Plate 1×1 over the top.   Bring the cable over towards the inside of the ship, then feed the cable underneath the following technic pieces.     3.) Take out another Cool White 30cm Bit Light and install it to the next stud down the side of the ship as shown below. Secure it in place with another provided Trans Clear Round Plate 1×1. Feed the cable underneath the technic pieces as we did for the previous bit light cable.     4.) Using the same method used in previous steps, install another 2x Cool White 30cm Bit Lights to the following studs along the side of the ship. Follow the images below to ensure you install the lights to the correct location. Secure them in place using 2x Trans Clear Round Plates 1×1. Once installed, lay the cables inside toward the first two Bit Light cables.     5.) Take a 12-Port Expansion Board and connect the four Bit Light Cables, then take a 50cm Connecting Cable connect it to another spare port on the 12-Port Expansion Board.   Bring the other end of the 50cm connecting cable toward the back of the ship and feed it underneath the large red technic plate sections going across the centre. Pull the cable out from the other side and connect it to a new 12-Port Expansion Board.     6.) We will now install another three lights to the side of the ship to the following positions.   First disconnect the following pieces, then install a Cool White 30cm Bit Light to the following stud, securing it in place using a provided Trans Clear Round Plate 1×1. Once installed, reconnect the pieces we removed earlier.   Connect the Bit Light to the second 12-Port Expansion Board towards the back of the ship.     7.) Install another 2x Cool White 30cm Bit Lights to the following positions, securing them in place using 2x Trans Clear Round Plates 1×1. Ensure you following the below images to correctly lay the cables underneath pieces, then connect both lights to the 12-Port Expansion Board in previous step.   Secure the last Bit Light cable underneath the following 2×4 tile. Disconnect it, lay the cable in between studs, then reconnect the tile over the top.     8.) Take a new 50cm Connecting Cable and connect it to a spare port on the first 12-Port Expansion Board toward the front of the ship. Thread the other end of the cable down the space behind the docking bay that leads down underneath the ship.   From underneath of the ship, pull the cable down and connect it to a 2-Port Expansion Board. Take your USB Power Cable and connect it to the other port. Connect the USB Connector side to a USB Power Bank or wall adaptor (sold separately) and turn it ON to test all the lights installed to the left side of the ship are working OK.   Note: If you experience any issues with the lights not working and suspect an issue with a component, please try a different port on the expansion board to verify where the fault lies (with the light or expansion board). To correct any issues with expansion board ports, please view the section addressing expansion board issues on our online troubleshooting guide.     9.) We will now install lights to the 4 laser cannon section on the left side. First disconnect and disassemble this section as shown below:   Take out a Green 15cm Micro Bit Light and carefully bend the LED component so that the side is facing the top. This will allow the LED to fit easily inside the canon hole.   Take one of the cannon pieces and carefully thread the Micro Bit Light’s LED all the way inside the hole.
Bend the cable down the outside of the cannon, then lay the cable directly over the the top of the stud as shown below. Reconnect this cannon to the inside of the 2×2 round tile. The cable should be secured underneath the stud.     10.) Using the same method used in previous step, install another Green 15cm Micro Bit Lights to another cannon piece, then secure the cable underneath the stud and reconnect it to the 2×2 round plate.     Ensure both cables are laid in between the spaces of the plate, then reconnect the 2×2 rounded bottom plate.     11.) Turn this section around then install another 2x Green 15cm Micro Bit Lights to the cannons on this side. Secure the cables underneath studs of the cannon pieces, then reconnect both of them as shown below.   Lay both cables in between the spaces towards the back of the round 2×2 plate, then reconnect the hinge ball section followed by the 2×2 rounded bottom plate.     12.) Tuck the four cables underneath the base of the cannon, then twist the four cables around each other all the way to the ends to form one larger cable.   Reconnect the cannon section back to to the side of the ship, then bring the cables inside the ship and connect them to a Micro 4-Port Expansion Board.     13.) Take a 15cm Connecting Cable and connect it to one of the larger ports on the Micro 4-Port Expansion Board. Connect the other end of the cable to the OUT port 1 on the Gun Effects Board.   Take another 15cm Connecting Cable and connect it to the IN port (+5V) on the Gun Effects Board. Connect the other end of this 15cm cable to a spare port on the 12-Port Expansion Board toward the back of the ship.   Turn your power ON to test the lights installed so far and to configure the Gun Effects Board. You can choose between 3 different shooting effects via the 3 way switch on the effects board. 1. Canon – 2 Fires – each channel firing at random rate 2. Machine Gun – Multiple fires simulating a machine gun – each channel firing at random rate 3. Laser Canon – 3 fires – each channel firing at random rate.     Note: If you experience any issues with the lights not working and suspect an issue with a component, please try a different port on the expansion board to verify where the fault lies (with the light, expansion board, or effects board). To correct any issues with expansion board ports, please view the section addressing expansion board issues on our online troubleshooting guide.     14.) Take a 30cm Connecting Cable and connect it to the other large port on the Micro 4-Port Expansion Board. Connect the other end of the cable to a large port on a new Micro 4-Port Expansion Board, then feed this micro expansion board underneath the technic pieces in the middle to bring it through to the other side.   Take a 15cm Connecting Cable and connect it to a spare port on the 12-Port Expansion Board on the back of the ship. Connect the other end of the cable to a new 12-Port Expansion Board, then feed the board underneath the technic pieces in the centre to bring it through to the other side.     15.) Carefully turn the ship around so we can install lights to the right side. First disconnect the 2×4 tile and 2×2 rounded bottom plate to allow us to disconnect the two top panel sections.     16.) We will now install seven lights to the right side of the ship. Use the same method used for the side lights on the left side to install the first 4x Cool White 30cm Bit Lights, securing them in place using the provided 4x Trans Clear Round Plates 1×1. Follow the below images carefully to modify certain sections and feed the cables underneath the middle to connect to the 12-port expansion board on the other side.   Turn ON the power to test the four lights installed to the right side are working OK.   Note: If you experience any issues with the lights not working and suspect an issue with a component, please try a different port on the expansion board to verify where the fault lies (with the light, expansion board, or effects board). To correct any issues with expansion board ports, please view the section addressing expansion board issues on our online troubleshooting guide.     17.) Use the same method used in the previous step to install the remaining 3x Cool White 30cm Bit Lights to the right side, securing them in place using the provided 3x Trans Clear Round Plates 1×1. Follow the below images carefully to modify certain sections and connect the bit lights to the 12-port expansion board toward the back of the ship that we brought over from the left side (step 14).   Secure the last Bit Light cable underneath the following 2×4 tile, then turn ON the power to test all the lights installed to the right side are working OK.   Note: If you experience any issues with the lights not working and suspect an issue with a component, please try a different port on the expansion board to verify where the fault lies (with the light, expansion board, or effects board). To correct any issues with expansion board ports, please view the section addressing expansion board issues on our online troubleshooting guide.     18.) It’s time to light up the laser cannons on the right side! Disconnect and disassemble this section as shown below:   Using the same method used to install the lights to the laser cannons on the left side of the ship, install 4x Green 15cm Micro Bit Lights to this laser cannon.   Tuck the four cables underneath the base of the cannon, then twist the four cables around each other all the way to the ends to form one larger cable.     19.) Reconnect the laser cannon section to the right side of the ship, then connect the Micro Bit Light cables to the spare Micro 4-Port Expansion Board that we brought over from the other side (Step 14.)   Turn the power ON to test the cannons on the right side of the ship are working OK. Because they are connected to the same channel as the cannons on the left side, they should be all firing together in sync.   Note: If you experience any issues with the lights not working and suspect an issue with a component, please try a different port on the expansion board to verify where the fault lies (with the light, expansion board, or effects board). To correct any issues with expansion board ports, please view the section addressing expansion board issues on our online troubleshooting guide.     20.) We will now light up the docking bay underneath the ship. First, we will need to disconnect the front bottom panel section on the right side. Disconnect the plate with handle from the very front of the ship, then disconnect the 2×2 rounded bottom plate securing the front and back panel together. Carefully disconnect the bottom panel via the technic rounded pins.   From the inside of the ship, locate and pull out the two orange technic pins that are securing the docking bay to the ship, then carefully remove the docking bay section by pulling it out from the bottom.     21.) Disconnect the Tie Fighter from the clip, then remove the grey mechanical piece and trans red round plate from it.   Take a Cool White 30cm Bit Light and bend the connector end of the cable into a hook as shown below. The hook will help us then thread the light through the Tie Fighter. Thread the connector side of the cable through the back of the Tie Fighter and out the bottom.   Before you completely pull the cable all the way out, carefully bend the Bit Light LED on a 90 degree angle so that it will face directly up and sit flat against the edge of the inside.   Reconnect the Trans Red round plate, then bring the cable up and secure it in between the right wing and centre brick as shown below:   Reconnect the mechanical clip piece, then reconnect the Tie Fighter to the docking bay. Caution – Do not forcefully push the mechanical clip piece all the way in or you may damage the Bit Light inside.     22.) Turn the docking bay around to the front and disconnect the following pieces from the middle.   Lay the Bit Light cable down in between studs as shown below, then secure it by reconnecting sections over the top.     23.) Take a Cool White 30cm Bit Light and bend the cable up on a 90 degree angle around 1cm from the LED. Ensuring the LED is facing forward, place it in between studs as shown below. Secure it in place by reconnecting the following wall section. If you look from the other side, you should see the LED peaking out to shine onto the docking bay.   Repeat this step to install another Cool White 30cm Bit Light to the other wall section. Reconnect the remaining section on top.     24.) Turn the docking bay around to the back and disconnect sections from the right corner as shown below:   Take a Flashing Red 30cm Bit Light and bend the cable up on a 90 degree angle around 1cm from the LED. Ensuring the LED is facing forward, place it in between studs as shown below. Secure it in place by reconnecting the corner pieces we removed earlier. If you look from the other side, you should see the LED peaking out in the corner to shine onto the docking bay     25.) Turn the docking bay over to the back left corner and install another Flashing Red 30cm Bit Light to this side.     26.) Place the Docking Bay onto it’s back so we can access underneath. Lay the top three cables down, then secure them underneath the blue 2×2 rounded bottom plates by first disconnecting them, laying the cables down, then reconnecting them over the top.   Secure the flashing red bit light cables by threading each one inside the gaps as shown below.   Connect all five cables to a 6-Port Expansion Board then take a 5cm Connecting Cable and connect it to the remaining port.       27.) Bring the docking bay underneath the Star Destroyer, then thread the expansion board through to the inside of the ship. Connect the other end of the 5cm Connecting Cable to the 12-port expansion board near the front..   Bring the docking bay up and reconnect it to the ship by pushing the orange technic pins in to secure everything into place.   Turn on the power to test the lights installed to the docking bay are working OK. Reposition the Tie Fighter as desired.   Note: If you experience any issues with the lights not working and suspect an issue with a component, please try a different port on the expansion board to verify where the fault lies (with the light, expansion board, or effects board). To correct any issues with expansion board ports, please view the section addressing expansion board issues on our online troubleshooting guide.     28.) Ensure all cables from the docking bay lights and side of the ship lights are neatly tucked in before reconnecting the bottom right panel to the ship.   Reconnect the 2×2 rounded bottom plate as well as the pieces that secure the front of the ship together.     29.) Carefully turn the ship around to the left side, then take the Tantive and disassemble sections from the back jets as shown below:   Take one of the jet sections of 4 and disassemble them, then take a White 30cm Micro Bit Light and place the LED inside the top of the white round brick. Flip the white round brick over and while ensuring the bit light is still inside, reconnect the white brick to the white 1×4 plate as shown below:   Repeat this step to install 3x White 30cm Micro Bit Lights to the jets on this section ensuring the cables are all facing the same way.   With the cables all facing up, reconnect this section to the of the bottom side of the Tantive.     30.) Take the middle jet section and disconnect the three jets. Using the same method as per previous step, install 3x White 30cm Micro Bit Lights to this section ensuring the cables are all laid the same way.   Ensuring the cables are all facing up, reconnect this middle section to the back of the Tantive, then bring the three cables toward the right and secure them down underneath the corner of the red tile.     31.) Disassemble the last jet section and install the remaining 4x White 30cm Micro Bit Lights ensuring the cables are all facing the same way.   Turn the jet section over so that the cables are underneath of it and laid to the right side, then reconnect this section to the back of the Tantive. Bring all the cables out the right side as shown below:     32.) Twist and wind all 11 cables around each other all the way to the ends to form one larger cable, then reassemble the Tantive and reconnect the trans clear bar underneath.     33.) Reconnect the Tantive to the side of the star destroyer, then wind the cables around the trans clear bar as shown below:   Partially disconnect the bottom panel via the blue piece as shown below, then thread the cables through the gap we just created. Pull the cables out from the inside of the ship.     Reconnect the bottom panel via the blue piece to secure the cables and close up the gap in between the bottom and middle section.     34.) Connect 4 out of the 11 micro bit light cables to a new Micro 4-Port Expansion Board, then connect a 5cm Connecting Cable to the large port. Connect the other end of the 5cm Connecting cable to one of the OUT ports on a Flicker Effects Board (FFX).   Connect the remaining 7 micro bit light cables to a Micro 8-Port Expansion Board, then connect a new 5cm Connecting Cable to the large port on the board.

Using the same method used as per previous step, install another Cool White 30cm Bit Light to the right side of the tower securing it in place using another provided Trans Clear Round Plate 1×1, then connect the Bit Light to the same 6-Port Expansion Board in the previous step.     42.) Take a 5cm Connecting Cable and connect it to the 6-Port Expansion Board from previous step. Connect the other end of the 5cm cable to one of the OUT ports on a Multi Effects Board (3PFX). Take another 5cm Connecting Cable and connect it to the IN port (+5V) on the Multi effects Board. Connect the other end of the 5cm cable to a spare port on the 6-Port Expansion Board from step 37 – 38.   Configure the Multi Effects Board to the ’emergency’ effect by flicking the 3-way switch to the middle and turning the speed wheel all the way to the left for the slowest speed. Turn ON the power to test the lights and effects installed to the tower are working OK.   Note: If you experience any issues with the lights not working and suspect an issue with a component, please try a different port on the expansion board to verify where the fault lies (with the light, expansion board, or effects board). To correct any issues with expansion board ports, please view the section addressing expansion board issues on our online troubleshooting guide.     43.) Take one of the tower roof panels and disconnect and disassemble the generator dome section as shown below   Take a Cool White 30cm Large Bit Light and thread the connector end of the cable through the top of the round plate. Pull the cable all the way out from underneath, then carefully bend the Bit Light on a 90 degree angle so that it sits flat against the top of the plate. Reconnect the base section with angled tiles underneath the round plate to secure the Bit Light in place.   Reconnect the dome piece, then bring the cable down and lay it in between studs before reconnecting the angled 1×2 tile over the top.     44.) Thread the Large Bit Light cable through the top of the rigid round brick before reconnecting this brick to the bottom of the dome section.   Disconnect the following antenna piece from the roof panel, then reconnect the dome section ensuring the cable is facing the outside as shown below. Reconnect the antenna piece we removed earlier, then fold the cable underneath the roof panel so that it is laid towards the inside.     45.) Follow the previous two steps to install another Cool White 30cm Large Bit Light to the generator dome on the left roof panel.     46.) Clear the area inside the bridge by pulling all the cables over to the left side, then reconnect the right roof panel ensuring the Large Bit Light cable is still accessible. Connect the large bit light to a new 6-Port Expansion Board.   Connect a new 5cm Connecting Cable to the 6-Port Expansion Board, then connect the other end of the 5cm cable to the second OUT port on the Multi Effects Board.   Neaten up all the cables by grouping them together and twisting and folding them together into a neat bunch, then tuck everything inside the left side, leaving the 6-port expansion board from this step still accessible.     46.) Take the left roof panel and place it over the left side of the tower. Ensure the bit light cable is folded underneath the panel, then connect it to the same 6-Port expansion board the other generator dome light is connected to.   Tuck all the cables inside the tower before securely reconnecting the roof panel to the tower. Reconnect the pieces on each side of the bridge as well as the top radar section we removed earlier.   Turn ON the power to test all the lights installed to the tower and bridge are working OK. The generator dome lights and two lights installed to the back of the tower should be flashing in alternate sequence using the ’emergency’ flash effect from the multi effects board.   Note: If you experience any issues with the lights not working and suspect an issue with a component, please try a different port on the expansion board to verify where the fault lies (with the light, expansion board, or effects board). To correct any issues with expansion board ports, please view the section addressing expansion board issues on our online troubleshooting guide.

Laying cables in between and underneath bricks

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

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

Connecting cable connectors to Expansion Boards

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

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

Connecting cable connectors to Strip Lights

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

Connecting Micro Cable connectors to Micro Expansion Board Ports

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

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!

 

Installing lights to the Disney Train Station

1.) We will first install lights to the train station starting with all the lamps at the front. First disconnect the station sign, then using your LEGO Removal Tool, create a gap just above the grey plates with front studs.     Disconnect the lamps on either side of the front door, then disassemble them as per below.     2.) Take a White 15cm Bit Light and with the cable facing the handle, place it directly over the black stud. Secure the Bit Light in place by reconnecting the trans clear minifig head over the top. Thread the cable down the space of the handle and pull it all the way out from underneath.   Repeat this step to install another White 15cm Bit Light to the other lamp.     3.) Reconnect both lamps to the front of the station, then thread thread both of the lamp cables through the gap we created earlier. Turn the set around to the back and pull the Bit Light cables all the way out. Ensure the cables are laid in between studs of the bottom of the gap as shown in the last image example.   Connect both of the Bit Light cables to a 12-Port Expansion Board. Take a USB Power Cable and connect it to the left port on the expansion board. Connect the USB Connector side to a USB Power Bank or wall adaptor (sold separately) and turn it ON to test the front lights are working OK.   Note: If you experience any issues with the lights not working and suspect an issue with a component, please try a different port on the expansion board to verify where the fault lies (with the light or expansion board). To correct any issues with expansion board ports, please view the section addressing expansion board issues on our online troubleshooting guide.     4.) Disconnect the lamp on the right side of the station via the black technic pin. Turn the set around and disconnect the top floor of the left side by pushing your finger up underneath the tan plate.   Turn the set back around to the front and using your LEGO Removal Tool, create a gap in between the light grey plates just above where we disconnected the lamp.   Take a White 30cm Bit Light and carefully bend the LED up as shown below. With the cable facing the back, hook the LED inside the lamp. Bring the the technic pin slightly out, then bring the Bit Light cable up and wind it around the lamp post. Push the technic pin back in toward the front and pull the cable inside the technic pin slot. Turn the technic pin to the left or right to secure the cable in place.     5.) Thread the Bit Light cable through the gap we created, then reconnect the lamp to the front. Ensure the cable is laid in between studs of the grey plates above.   Turn the set around to the back and pull the Bit Light all the way out. Bring the cable inside the station and toward the right, then connect it to the 12-Port Expansion Board. Turn the power ON to test the front lamps are working OK.   Reconnect the two grey plate sections to close up the gap above the lamp.     6.) We will now light up the two lamps on the left corner of the station. First disconnect these two lamps, then using your LEGO Removal Tool, create a gap underneath the tan plates.   Install another 2x White 30cm Bit Lights to the two lamps, applying the same method used to install the lamps in previous steps.     7.) Take the lamp for the left side of the station and thread the cable through the gap. From the back of the station, pull the cable out, then securely reconnect the lamp ensuring the cable is laid in between the studs above.     Repeat this process to reconnect the other lamp while threading the cable through to the inside of the station.     8.) Close up the gaps by reconnecting sections back together, then turn the set back around to the back and thread both Bit Light cables through to the middle sections. Connect both of them to the 12-Port Expansion Board. Turn ON the power to test all the front lamps are working OK.   Note: If you experience any issues with the lights not working and suspect an issue with a component, please try a different port on the expansion board to verify where the fault lies (with the light or expansion board). To correct any issues with expansion board ports, please view the section addressing expansion board issues on our online troubleshooting guide.   Close up the gap from the front of the set, then reconnect the Disney Train Station sign.     9.) We will now light up the two pillar lamps on the back of the station. First disconnect the two lamps, then create a gap just underneath the plates with handles as shown below.   Disassemble the two lamps as shown below, then take a White 15cm Bit Light and thread the connector side of the cable through the bottom (larger hole) of one of the trans clear round bricks. Before threading the Bit Light all the way through, carefully bend the LED so that it is facing up. Reconnect the black plate with clip followed by the round plate at the top.   Repeat this step to install another White 15cm Bit Light to the other lamp.     10.) Thread each of the lamp cables through the gaps on the pillars. Pull the cables all the way out from behind before reconnecting the lamps. Bring both cables towards the 12-port expansion board.   Connect both Bit Light cables to the 12-Port Expansion Board (right lamp to the far right port, and left lamp to the left port), then turn ON the power to test the pillar lamps are working OK.     11.) Using the LEGO Removal Tool, create a gap on the left wall just above red angled brick.   Take 5cm Connecting Cable and a 15cm Connecting Cable and connect them both to the 12-Port Expansion Board. Take the USB Power Cable and feed it behind the left pillar and over to the left side. Thread the USB cable through the gap we just created, ensuring the cable is laid in between studs of the red angled brick.     12.) Take the second floor section we removed earlier in step 4 and place it onto it’s back.   Take a Warm White Strip Light and using it’s adhesive backing, stick it to the bottom of a provided LEGO Plate 1×6.   Take the 15cm Connecting Cables we connected to the expansion board earlier and bring it behind the pillar and over to the left side.  Connect the cable to Strip Light’s right port, then take a new 15cm Connecting Cable and connect it to the strip light’s left port.   Using the 1×6 plate, mount the strip light underneath the top floor section in the below position. Ensure the connecting cable  from the 12-port expansion board is on the right side.     13.) Locate the White 30cm Bit Light cable from the front right lamp and lay it in between studs of the red angled brick, then place the second level section over the top. Do not securely reconnect the second level floor just yet.   Slip the 15cm Connecting Cable through the gap on the left wall and place it in between the studs next to where the USB power cable is laid. Pull the 15cm cable all the way out, then securely reconnect the second level floor.     14.) Take a new Warm White Strip Light and using it’s adhesive backing, stick it to a provided LEGO Plate 1×6. Locate the other end of the 5cm Connecting Cable connected to the 12-port expansion board, and connect it to the strip light’s left port. Take a new 15cm Connecting Cable and connect it to the strip light’s right port.     15.) Stick 3x Adhesive Squares to the back of the 12-Port Expansion Board, then mount the board underneath the top floor in the following position. The cables should be facing away from you and towards the inside of the station.   To prevent the USB Power Cable from dangling down, pull the cable all the way out the left side, then reconnect the top floor wall section to close up the gap and secure the cable down.   Locate any other dangling cables and pull them to the left before securing them to the ceiling using a provided LEGO Plate 1×2.     14.) Take the two Bit Light cables from the front left corner lamps and pull them to the right, then mount the Strip Light to the roof (via the 1×6 plate) over any other dangling cables in the following position. Check to ensure there are no dangling cables underneath the two strip lights, then close up the gaps below the lamps on the pillars. Turn ON the power to test the lights are working OK.   Note: If you experience any issues with the lights not working and suspect an issue with a component, please try a different port on the expansion board to verify where the fault lies (with the light or expansion board). To correct any issues with expansion board ports, please view the section addressing expansion board issues on our online troubleshooting guide.     15.) Use your LEGO Removal Tool to disconnect the following pieces sections on the top right side of the station.   Disconnect the chandelier section via the technic pin, then disconnect the chair from the top floor.   Turn the set around to the front corner and disconnect the top floor with front window section.     16.) Locate the two Bit Light cables from the front corner lamps as well as the other end of the 15cm Connecting Cable from the 12-port Expansion Board. From the space we created above the bottom floor, pull the bit light cables up so they aren’t dangling down from the top, then thread the 15cm Connecting Cable up to the second floor and connect it to the larger port on a Micro 4-Port Expansion Board.   Disconnect the following two tiles with studs from the second floor, then pull the two bit light cables up and lay them in between the black studs. Reconnect the two tiles with studs, then check to ensure there are no more dangling cables.     17.) Take the chandelier and disassemble it as shown below:   Take a White 15cm Micro Bit Light and place the LED facing down over the top of one of the trans clear minifig heads. Secure the Micro Bit Light in place by reconnecting a brown plate with clip.   18.) Follow the same method used in previous step to install another 3x White 15cm Micro Bit Lights to the remaining three lamps, then reconnect each one to the chandelier ensuring the cables are facing the inside, and all laid out together at one side.   Spin the chandelier around so the cables are facing the inside of the station, then reconnect the chandelier via the grey technic pin. Bring all four cables up to the top and connect them to the Micro Expansion Board. Turn ON the power to test the chandelier micro bit lights are working OK.     19.) Take a 30cm Connecting Cable and connect it to the other large port on the Micro Expansion Board, then stick 2x Adhesive Squares to the back of the board and mount it to the right side in the following position.   Bring the micro bit light cables over to the back and secure them underneath the following tiles ensuring you first lay them in between studs underneath. Bring the 30cm Cable over and secure it on the side of the tile underneath.   To ensure there is no more excess cable from the 30cm cable dangling down, pull up any excess cable and secure it underneath the following 2×4 plate ensuring it is laid in between studs.     20.) Reconnect the second floor sections as well as the chair, then disconnect the roof using your LEGO Removal Tool.   Continue to disconnect the following sections on the top floor.   Bring the 30cm Cable up to the top floor and lay it around the following studs, then reconnect the brown angled bricks over the top. Bring the cable up to the top of the set and connect it to a new Micro 4-Port Expansion Board (large port).     21.) Turn the set around to the front left corner. Disconnect the three window roof sections via the technic pins as shown below, followed by the long bricks on top to allow us to remove the three window sections.     22.) Take one of the window sections and disconnect the following pieces from the top. Take a White 15cm Micro Bit Light and split the brown and black cable as shown below.   With the LED facing down and cable facing the back, place the bit light over the green stud of the window, with a cable on either side. Secure the Micro Bit Light in place by reconnecting the two arched pieces.   Bring the cable over the arched pieces, then reconnect the remaining section. Reconnect this window section to the far left side of the station.     23.) Repeat the previous step to install another 2x White 15cm Micro Bit Lights to the other two window sections, then reconnect each one to the left side of the station.   Connect the three Micro Bit Lights to the Micro Expansion Board on the top of the station, then turn ON the power to test the window lights are all working OK.     24.) Lay the cable from the front window the wall behind and in between studs, then do the same for the two window cables on the left side. Secure them down by reconnecting both the long bricks over the top. Before reconnecting the long brick over the side with two windows, secure the 30cm connecting cable by pulling it up and laying it around the brown stud underneath. This will help hide the cable and prevent it from being seen when looking inside the room.   Reconnect the window roof sections via the technic pins.     25.) Take a 5cm Connecting Cable and connect it to the other large port on the Micro Expansion Board. Take a Warm White Strip Light and using it’s adhesive backing, stick it to the base of another provided Plate 1×6.   Connect the other end of the 5cm cable to the strip light, then stick the Micro Expansion Board to the inside of the wall using 2x Adhesive Squares.   Bring the 30cm Cable up, along with one or two of the micro bit light cables and lay them in between the following studs above, then securely reconnect the roof   Tuck in any excess micro bit light cable to the corners of the ceiling before mounting the Strip Light to the roof. Test all the lights are working OK by turning on the power.     26.) Turn the set around to the back and use your LEGO Removal tool to disconnect the top floor on the left side by disconnecting it under the larger tan plates as shown below   Turn the set around to the front and disconnect the roof sections from the front three windows, then follow the below images to remove the sections above.   Slightly disconnect the top right section to lift up the three tan plates to allow us to completely disconnect the three window sections as shown below:     27.) Take one of the window sections and disassemble it as per below, then using the same method we used to install lights to the previous window sections, install a White 30cm Micro Bit Light to this window. Ensure the LED is facing down and that you use a 30cm Micro Bit Light rather than a 15cm one. Once installed, reconnect the window section to the front of the station.   Using the same method as above, install another 2x White 30cm Micro Bit Lights to the other two window sections, then reconnect them to the front of the station.     28.) Lay the left window cable behind in between studs, then reconnect the first 1×8 brick over the top. Ensuring the cable is moved to the side of the front hole, reconnect the window roof section.   Repeat this for the other two window cables, before reconnecting the other 1×8 brick, the window roof sections, and the top right section.     29.) Turn the set around to the back and disconnect the following sections from the top floor.   Take the three 30cm Micro Bit Light cables and bring them across to the left side. Secure the middle and right cable underneath the following 1×8 brick by laying in between studs as shown below.   Disconnect the tan bricks on the left side and lay the three cables toward the front in between the studs on the left. Reconnect the tan bricks as well as the other bricks we disconnected. The Micro Bit Light cables should be well hidden from the back of the set.     30.) Bring the Micro Bit Light cables up and over the right wall before reconnecting the remaining sections over the top. Ensure the cables are laid in between studs. Connect the micro bit lights to a new Micro 4-Port Expansion Board.     31.) Take a 5cm Connecting Cable and connect it to the Micro Expansion Board.

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.) The first section we will light up are the main characters on their “Stranger Things” platform. First, disconnect Mike, then disassemble his flash light.   Take a White 15cm Bit Light and place it over the hilt’s stud. Secure it in place by reconnecting the trans clear round plate 1×1 over the top. Fold the Bit Light cable down toward the bottom of the hilt, then reconnect it to Mike’s hand ensuring the cable is also clipped inside. Reconnect Mike to the platform.     2.) Disconnect Lucas, then disassemble his flash light.   Take a White 15cm Bit Light and with the cable facing the bottom of the flash light hilt, place it over the hilt’s stud. Since we can’t reconnect the trans clear tile over the bit light, discard this piece and connect a provided Trans clear Round Plate 1×1 over the top to secure the light in place. Wind the Bit Light cable behind the flash light, then reconnect it to Lucas’ hand ensuring the cable is also clipped inside. Reconnect Lucas to the platform.     3.) Turn the platform around, then connect the two Bit Light cables to a 6-Port Expansion Board. Take a Flat Battery Pack and insert 2x NEW CR2032 Batteries. Connect the battery pack cable to the expansion board and turn it ON to test the flashlights are working OK. Important Note: As of June 2022, Flat Battery Packs have been removed due to child safety regulations. Please read below to see an alternative power source (50cm Connecting Cable).   Note: If you experience any issues with the lights not working and suspect an issue with a component, please try a different port on the expansion board to verify where the fault lies (with the light or expansion board). To correct any issues with expansion board ports, please view the section addressing expansion board issues on our online troubleshooting guide.     4.) Use 2x Adhesive Squares to mount the expansion board behind the bottom of the platform, then use another 2x Adhesive Squares to mount the flat battery pack (with cable facing the left) on the back of the Stranger Things board.   Neaten up the excess cable by grouping them together and twisting/folding them around each other into a neat bunch.   Secure the two cables down to the back of the platform, using sticky tape. This now completes installation for this section.   If you wish to tether the power for the flash lights to the main light kit for the house rather than using batteries, connect the provided 50cm Connecting Cable to a spare port on the expansion board. You can connect the other end of the cable to the main circuit later on.     5.) We will now light up Chief Hopper’s police car. First disconnect the car from the front of the set, then disconnect the roof and sections around the front to enable us to remove the head light sections. *   6.) Disconnect and discard the top trans clear tiles from the headlights as per below, then take a White 15cm Bit Light and with the cable facing the right, place it over the left head light section. Secure the Bit Light in place by connecting a provided Trans Clear Plate 1×1 over the top.   Fold the cable up underneath this section, then reconnect it to the front of the car ensuring the cable is pulled up behind and in between the pink and brown bricks as shown below.   7.) Repeat previous step to install another White 15cm Bit Light to the right headlight section.   Thread both headlight cables through the following spaces which lead to the back of the vehicle. . Reconnect the pieces we removed earlier surrounding the front of the car.     8.) Turn the car around to the rear side and pull the side windows out from each side, then disconnect the following pieces to enable us to disconnect the two tail light sections as shown below:     9.) Disconnect and discard the two trans red tiles from the tail lights, then take a White 15cm Bit Light and thread the connector end through the front of one of the tan coloured bricks. Pull the cable all the way out from the back of the brick, then slightly bend the Bit Light so that it sits flat against the edge of the front of the brick. Secure the light in place by connecting a provided Trans Red Plate 1×1 over the top.   Reconnect the tail light section to the left side of the back of the car. Ensure you bring the cable to the right side, laying it behind the brick as shown below.   Repeat this step to install another White 15cm Bit Light to the right tail light, securing it in place with another provided Trans Red Plate 1×1. Ensure you bring the cable to the left side, behind the brick as you reconnect it to the right side of the back of the car.     10.) Take a 6-Port Expansion Board and connect the two head light cables as well as the two tail light cables to it. Take a Flat Battery Pack and insert 2x NEW CR2032 Batteries to it. Connect the battery pack cable to the 6-Port Expansion Board, then turn the battery pack ON to test the head and tail lights are working OK. Important Note: As of June 2022, Flat Battery Packs have been removed due to child safety regulations. Please read below to see an alternative power source (15cm Connecting Cable).   Note: If you experience any issues with the lights not working and suspect an issue with a component, please try a different port on the expansion board to verify where the fault lies (with the light or expansion board). To correct any issues with expansion board ports, please view the section addressing expansion board issues on our online troubleshooting guide.     11.) Flip the car over and mount the Flat Battery Pack underneath the car towards the back using 2x Adhesive Squares. Ensure the battery pack switch is facing the right side of the car.   Turn the car back over and disconnect the following number plate section. Pull the battery pack all the way up inside the car and lay it down in between studs toward the middle before reconnecting the section over the top as shown below:   Reconnect the following piece, then neaten up the cabling by grouping all the cables and folding and twisting them around each other a few times, forming a neat bunch.     12.) Take a 5cm Connecting Cable and connect it to the remaining port on the 6-Port Expansion Board. Connect the other end of the cable to the IN port (+5V) on the Multi Effects Board (side with 1 port)   Reconnect (and fold in) the following pieces and sections we removed earlier, then place all the components in the back area as shown below:     13.) Take the roof of the car and disconnect the 1×6 plate as well as the trans blue and trans red tiles from it.   Take a White 15cm Bit Light and with the cable facing forward, place it in between the two left studs. Secure the light in place by reconnecting the trans blue tile over the top, then repeat this step to install another White 15cm Bit Light underneath the trans red tile.     14.) Reconnect the plate to the roof plate, then connect the two roof lights to the Multi Effects Board.   Turn the Battery Pack ON and configure the Multi Effects Board to use the “emergency” effect by setting the switch on the effects board to the middle setting. You can adjust the speed of the effect by turning the wheel to the left or to the right (slower or faster).   Place the Multi Effects Board back inside the back of the car, then place the roof on top of the car. Group the two cables from the roof together and fold/twist them around each other into a neat bunch to eliminate excess cable. Place the bunched up cables inside before securely reconnecting the roof.   This completes installation of the lights for Chief Hoppers car.   The Police Car lights are currently powered independently via the Flat Battery Pack. If you wish to avoid the battery route, the car lights can be tethered to the house lights later on. Simply swap out the Flat Battery Pack with a provided 15cm Connecting Cable. Leave the other end of it disconnected as we will connect this to the right side of the house at a later stage.     15.) We will now install lights to the house. First, turn the set around to the back side and using your LEGO removal tool, carefully disconnect the roof section at the following two positions as shown below.   Turn the set back around to the front, as we will first install lights to the trees, starting with the tree on the right side. We will be threading each Bit Light through the holes in the tree leaf pieces. First, take a Green 30cm Bit Light and slightly bend the bit light into a U shape toward the connector end of the cable. Thread the connector end through the hole of the following leaf piece as shown below, then pull the cable all the way down from underneath.   Flatten the Bit Light against the top of the leaf hole so that it sits flat and that the LED is facing directly up, then thread the cable through the space above, pulling it out from the other side. Secure the light in place by disconnecting the dark green tile and laying the cable down underneath it, before reconnecting the tile over the top.     16.) Take another Green 30cm Bit Light and slightly bend the connector end of the cable into a U shape. Thread the cable through the hole of the light green leaf piece in the centre, pulling it all the way out from underneath. Ensure the Bit Light’s LED is facing forward as shown below.   Bring the cable behind and over the branch on the right side.     17.) Turn the set around to the back so we can continue installing another two lights to the back side of the tree. Take another Green 30cm Bit Light and bend the connector end of the cable into a U shape. Thread the cable through the hole on the right leaf piece, pulling it all the way out from underneath.   Flatten the Bit Light so that it sits flat against the top of the hole and LED is facing directly up, then bring both front and back cables across to the left side and secure them underneath the following dark brown plate. Ensure the cables are laid across in between studs before reconnecting the dark brown plate over the top.     18.) Bend the dark green leaf piece on the left side down slightly so we can access the hole on the top. Take another Green 30cm Bit Light and slightly bend the connector end of the cable into a U shape. Thread the cable through the hole on the dark green leaf piece, pulling it all the way out from underneath as shown below:   Flatten the Bit Light so that it sits flat against the top of the hole and the LED is facing up, then push up the leaf piece back to it’s original position. Bring the cable across to the right and lay it in between studs underneath the dark brown plate as shown below (around the top stud):   Bring the four cables  down the left side of the tree trunk, then bring them across to the right side, laying them in between studs underneath the following dark brown angled plate.     19.) Connect the four bit light cables to an 8-Port Expansion Board. Take your USB Power Cable and connect it to the end port on the expansion board. Connect the USB Connector to a USB Power Bank or wall adaptor (sold separately) and turn it ON to test the green lights are working OK.   Note: If you experience any issues with the lights not working and suspect an issue with a component, please try a different port on the expansion board to verify where the fault lies (with the light or expansion board). To correct any issues with expansion board ports, please view the section addressing expansion board issues on our online troubleshooting guide.     20.) Facing the front of the house, we will now install lights to the tree on the left side. Using the same method used for the other tree lights, follow the below images to install another Green 30cm Bit Light to the front.   Push down the left leaf piece and install another Green 30cm Bit Light. Flatten the LED, then push the leaf section back up and bring the cable behind.     21.) Turn the set around and install another Green Bit 30cm Light to the left leaf piece, then bring both cables (this one and the first one we installed) over to the right side   Install the remaining Green 30cm Bit Light to the leaf on the right ensuring the LED is facing toward the front of the tree, then disconnect this section at the brown plate. Bring the three cables from the left over to the right and lay them underneath this brown plate in between studs, then securely reconnect this plate as shown below.     22.) Slightly disconnect the light brown plate from the bottom side, then slip the four cables underneath it toward the left side before reconnecting the plate over the cables. Ensure the cables are laid in between studs underneath.   Disconnect the following angled brick at the bottom of the trunk, then group the four cables and lay them across to the left side before reconnecting the angled brick over the top. Ensure the cables are laid in between studs underneath.   Connect the four Bit Lights to a new 8-Port Expansion Board. Disconnect the USB Power Cable from the other tree lights and connect it to this expansion board, then turn ON the power to test the green lights installed to this tree are working OK.   Note: If you experience any issues with the lights not working and suspect an issue with a component, please try a different port on the expansion board to verify where the fault lies (with the light or expansion board). To correct any issues with expansion board ports, please view the section addressing expansion board issues on our online troubleshooting guide.     23.) Disconnect the USB Power Cable, then take out a 50cm Connecting Cable and connect it to the expansion board from previous step. Bring the other end of the cable up and over the house to the left side, then connect it to the 8-port expansion board underneath the left tree. Secure the cable in place by tucking it into the roof’s left and right side as shown below.   Disconnect the grey triangular plate as well as all the light grey tiles from the right side of the house. Lay the connecting cable down in between studs before reconnecting all of these pieces one by one starting with the triangular plate.     24.) Neaten up all the messy cables from this side by twisting and folding them together into one neat bunch, then tuck the bunched up cables underneath the expansion board and place everything at the side of the house as shown below.   Take your USB Power Cable and reconnect it to the expansion board, then secure it underneath the dark brown angled tile. Turn the power ON to test both tree lights are working OK   NOTE – If you wish to tether the lights from the Stranger Things minifig stand, you can connect the other end of the 50cm Connecting cable from this section (step 4.) to the expansion board. Secure the cable in place underneath the dark brown angled tile.     25.) Disconnect the light grey triangular plate from the left side of the house, as well as the following tiles from the wall.   Take a 15cm Connecting Cable and connect it to the 8-port expansion board from the left side of the house, then bring the cable over the top of the house and connect it to the IN port on the Scary Flicker Effects Board (SFXV1). Place the effects board on the top of the house.     26.) Take another 15cm Connecting Cable and connect it to the 8-Port Expansion Board. Bring the cable up and over the wall and connect it to the IN port (+5V) on the Sequence Effects Board (4SQBV1). Place the sequence effects board on top of the house.   Group the four green bit light cables together and twist and fold them around each other into a neat bunch.   Place the bunched up cables underneath the expansion board, then lay the three connecting cables down in between studs along the wall. Secure the cables in place by reconnecting the bottom light grey tile.   Reconnect the remaining tiles to wall one at a time starting from the bottom up, ensuring the cables are laid in between studs.     27.) Remove the following pieces from the top and bottom of the chimney to allow us to disconnect the exterior panel section.   Remove the two left grey roof sections at the front, then remove the top section of the bedroom. Remove the radio to enable us to remove the following two lamps inside.     28.) Disassemble the following lamp, then take a White 15cm Bit Light and thread the connector end of the cable through the top of the white round plate with open stud. Pull the cable all the way out from the other side then flatten the LED so that it is directly facing up. Secure the Bit Light in place by connecting a provided LEGO Trans Clear Round Plate 1×1 over the top.   Thread the cable through the top of the white cone brick then reconnect the top section before reconnecting the lamp inside the room ensuring the cable is facing the wall.   Disconnect the Shark poster and lay the cable up the wall before reconnecting the poster over the top.     29.) Disconnect the trans clear round brick from the floor lamp, then take another White 15cm Bit Light and thread the connector end of the cable through the larger hole of the trans clear round brick. Pull the cable out from the top of the brick then carefully bend the LED so that it is facing directly down before pushing the LED all the way inside the brick.   Reconnect this section to the lamp, then reconnect the floor lamp to the inside of the room ensuring the cable is facing the back corner.   Secure the cable behind the following dark tan tile, then reconnect the Radio.     30.) Bring both Bit Light cables over the wall in the following positions. Reconnect the roof section of the bedroom, then bring all the components and cables back over onto the top.   Connect the two Bit Light cables form the bedroom lamps to a 6-Port Expansion Board. Take a 5cm Connecting Cable and connect one end to the 6-Port Expansion Board. Connect the other end of the connecting cable to one of the OUT ports on the Scary Flicker effects Board. Turn the power ON to test the bedroom lamps are working and flickering OK. The scary effects board should enable to lights on each channel to flicker approximately every 15 seconds.   Note: If you experience any issues with the lights not working and suspect an issue with a component, please try a different port on the expansion board to verify where the fault lies (with the light or expansion board). To correct any issues with expansion board ports, please view the section addressing expansion board issues on our online troubleshooting guide.     31.) Reconnect the exterior panel section as well as the surrounding pieces to the bottom of the chimney.   Take a 5cm Connecting Cable and connect one end to the 6-Port Expansion Board on top of the bedroom. Connect the other end of the cable to a Warm White Strip Light. Turn the power ON to test the strip light is working OK and flickering with the lamps in the bedroom. Leave the Strip Light as is for now as we will install it later.     32.) Take a new 15cm Connecting Cable and connect it to a different OUT port on the Scary Flicker Effects Board. Bring the other end of the cable across to the right and connect it to a new Warm White Strip Light.   Turn the set around to the front and disconnect the two grey roof pieces as well as the two light grey tiles to the right of the front door.     33.) Disconnect the trans clear tile from the trans clear round tile from the light grey tile, then take a White 15cm Bit Light and place the LED over the stud on the grey tile. Secure the Bit Light in place by connecting a provided LEGO Trans Clear Round Plate 1×1 over the top. Reconnect this tile to the front of the house ensuring the cable is facing up.   Lay the Bit Light cable in between studs above, then reconnect the other light grey tile. Bring the cable up and connect it to the White Strip Light we connected in the previous step.     34.) Take the two roof pieces from the left side of the house and flip them over so we can access underneath of it. Using it’s adhesive backing, stick the Strip Light from previous step underneath the roof pieces in the following position. Ensure the Bit Light cable is on the left side.   Flip the roof pieces over and securely reconnect them to the front of the house. From the back side of the house, check to ensure that the bit light cable and 15cm cable are laid in between studs underneath. Turn ON the power to test the lights at the front are flickering OK. Because these lights are connected to a different channel on the Scary Flicker Effects Board, they should be flickering in a different sequence than the lights inside the house.   Note: If you experience any issues with the lights not working and suspect an issue with a component, please try a different port on the expansion board to verify where the fault lies (with the light or expansion board). To correct any issues with expansion board ports, please view the section addressing expansion board issues on our online troubleshooting guide.     35.) Turn the set back over to the front, then take the two roof pieces from the right side and flip them over so we can access underneath of it. Locate the White Strip Light we connected and left hanging from the 6-port expansion board (step 31.) and stick it underneath the two roof pieces in the following position.   Flip the two roof panels over and reconnect them to the right side of the house ensuring the 5cm connecting cable between the strip light and 6-port expansion board is carefully laid in between studs underneath. Turn ON the power to test all the lights at the front of the house are working OK. The Strip Light on the right should be flickering at the same rate as the inside lights.   From the back of the set, neaten and secure the cabling running over the left side of the house by ensuring they are laid in between studs before reconnecting the remaining triangular plate. Reconnect the top section of the chimney.     36.) We will now install the remaining light inside the house on the right side of the living room. Take a White 30cm Bit Light and with the cable facing the left, place the Bit Light against the centre of the roof with the LED shining down. Secure the Bit Light in place by connecting a provided LEGO Trans Clear Plate w Rounded Bottom 2×2 over the top ensuring the LED is positioned in the middle.   Pull the cable up over the left side of the roof of the room, then secure it underneath the following ‘artwork’ tile pieces on top. Ensure the cable is neatly laid in between stud underneath these pieces.   Bring the cable across to the left side to connect to the 6-Port Expansion Board, then turn ON the power to test the Bit Light is working OK and flickering at the same rate as the lights on the left side.   Neaten up and eliminate excess cabling from this Bit Light by pulling the cable to the right, then twisting it into a neat bunch. Neaten up the rest of the cables running across the top by grouping them all together.     37.) Take the main roof section and flip it over so we can access underneath. Remove the LEGO light section as well as the large 4×10 plate section as shown below.   Disconnect the following pieces from the 4×10 plate, then take a Blue 30cm Bit Light and with the LED facing down, place it in between the following studs. Ensure the LED is hanging approximately 1cm over the bottom edge. Secure the Bit Light in place by reconnecting the 1×2 plate.   Take a Pink 30cm Bit Light and a Green 30cm Bit Light and place them in between the next few studs to the right with their LEDs facing down. (The order in which you place these Bit Lights does not matter). Secure the Bit Lights in place by reconnecting the two light grey clip pieces.     38.) Flip the 4×10 plate over and reconnect it to the main roof section, then carefully bend the Bit Lights down so that when you look at the back of the roof, they are shining away from you.   Place the roof section back down, then bring the three cables across to the left side. Disconnect the light grey 4x 6 plate and lay the cables underneath in between studs before reconnecting the plate over the top.     39.) Place the roof section near the house in the following position, then bring the three bit light cables from the roof panel up toward the house and connect them into the following OUT ports 1, 2, and 3 on the Sequence Effects Board we connected in step 26. (The numbers on the ports represent which order the ports activate in sequence. The port you connect each light to does not matter.)   Ensure the correct configuration is set on the sequence board. Turn ON the power to test the lights are working OK and configure the effect. Check the switch is in the top position and adjust the speed wheel as desired. The effect should mimic the R.U.N. scene where Joyce is attempting to communicate with Will. (1, 2, 3 repeat 6 times then flash all together 6 times).       40.) Bring the roof panel up on top of the house, then neatly place all the components in the following positions, with the scary flicker effects board underneath the sequence board. Ensure all cables are out of the way of the light grey technic plate on where the roof will reconnect to. Neaten up excess cables from the Blue, Pink and Green Bit Lights by twisting and folding them into a neat bunch. Neatly Tuck everything in before securely reconnecting the roof on both left and right sides.   Check that the Blue, Pink and Green lights are positioned correctly and shining onto the wall.   Note: If you experience any issues with the lights not working and suspect an issue with a component, please try a different port on the expansion board to verify where the fault lies (with the light or expansion board). To correct any issues with expansion board ports, please view the section addressing expansion board issues on our online troubleshooting guide.     41.) We will now install lights to the Upside Down. Take a 15cm Connecting Cable and connect it to another spare port on the 8-port Expansion Board on the right side of the house. Secure the cable underneath the brown angled tile, then turn the set upside down.   Lay the 15cm cable toward the front and secure it underneath the following brown angled tile at the bottom. Take the Glitter Effects Board (QPFX V1) and connect the other end of the 15cm cable to the IN port (+5V). Place the board down in the corner with the excess cable tucked underneath.     42.) Take one of the Glitter Effects Light Strings and connect it to one of the OUT ports on the Glitter Effects Board. Bring the light string across to the right and secure it underneath the following technic ball joint piece (disconnect and reconnect over the light string). Ensure the first LED on the glitter light string is laying toward the inside of the living room.   Bring the light string inside the living room and tuck it behind the dark blue couch. Bring the rest of the light string out toward the right side and secure it underneath the following technic ball joint piece (disconnect and reconnect over the light string).   Secure the light string underneath the white plate (Will’s drawing).     43.) Bring the light string across the living room and then bring it inside and tuck it in behind the black couch. Secure the light string underneath the following technic ball joint piece on the right(disconnect and reconnect over the light string). Secure the light string underneath the black round tile as well as behind the black plates of the couch.   Lay the light string inside the bedroom, ensuring you tuck it in behind the radio. Secure the light string underneath the technic ball joint piece on the right side as well as behind the torch against the right wall.     44.) Pull the Light string up the right side of the house, then using your LEGO removal tool, disconnect the roof section. Bring the light string over the top of the house, then secure it by winding the top of the light string around the brown and blue leaf pieces on the left side as shown below.   Ensuring the light string is laid in between LEGO studs, reconnect the roof section, then turn ON the power to test the glitter light string is working OK. The lights will slowly pulse on and off in sequence, to represent floating particles of the Upside Down. Note that the LEDS are designed to be a much dimmer than the rest of the LEDs in the light kit.   Note: If you experience any issues with the lights not working and suspect an issue with a component, please try a different port on the expansion board to verify where the fault lies (with the light or expansion board). To correct any issues with expansion board ports, please view the section addressing expansion board issues on our online troubleshooting guide.     45.) Take the remaining Glitter Effects Light String and connect it to the other OUT port on the Glitter Effects Board.

Important things to note:

Laying cables in between and underneath bricks

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

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

Connecting cable connectors to Expansion Boards

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

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

Connecting cable connectors to Strip Lights

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

Connecting Micro Cable connectors to Micro Expansion Board Ports

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

Installing Bit Lights under LEGO® bricks and plates.

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

 

OK, Let’s Begin!

  1.) We will first install the left stage light. Start by disconnecting the curved plate above it, then remove the stage light via the technic 1×2 brick. Disassemble the stage light as shown below:   Take a Warm White 30cm Large Bit Light and thread the connector end of the cable through the bottom of the light grey round plate. Thread it all the way through, then carefully bend the LED so that it sits flat against the edge of the hole.   Flip the light grey round plate around and lay the cable in between studs. Reconnect it to the stage light section, ensuring the cable is facing the black technic 1×2 brick, then reconnect the trans clear 2×2 plate with rounded bottom over the top.     2.) Reconnect the stage light to the set but first, lay the Bit Light cable in between the two studs underneath the black technic brick. Reconnect the black curved plate on top.   Turn the set around to the left side and connect the Bit Light to a 6-Port Expansion Board. Take the AA Battery Pack and insert 3x NEW AA Batteries to it. Connect the battery pack cable to the 6-Port Expansion Board, then turn it ON to test the stage light is working OK.   Note: If you experience any issues with the lights not working and suspect an issue with a component, please try a different port on the expansion board to verify where the fault lies (with the light or expansion board). To correct any issues with expansion board ports, please view the section addressing expansion board issues on our online troubleshooting guide.     3.) We will now install lights to the wall lamps. First, disconnect the following dark green tiles from the top of the walls, then disconnect the following wall sections to allow us to disconnect the bricks with clips that are holding the lamps.   Disassemble one of the wall lamp sections as shown below, then take a White 15cm Micro Bit Light and place the led inside one of the gold plates with shafts. Ensuring the LED is facing up, secure the Bit Light in place by reconnecting the gold plate with open stud. If you look carefully inside, the LED should be visible and in the middle of the hole.   Reconnect the trans clear piece, then lay the cable in between the clip of the 1×1 brick it connects to before reconnecting the lamp to it.   Reconnect the lamp to the wall ensuring you first lay the cable to the side of the stud it connects on top of.     4.) Repeat the previous step to install another White 15cm Micro Bit Light to the other lamp section before reconnecting it to the wall.     5.) Turn the set around and connect the two Micro Bit Lights to a Micro 4-Port Expansion Board.   Take a 5cm Connecting Cable and connect it to one of the larger ports on the micro expansion board. Connect the other end of the cable to the 6-Port Expansion Board to the right of it, then turn ON the AA Battery Pack to test the wall lamps are working OK.     6.) Reconnect the wall sections we removed, then disconnect the “service” sign section at the black pole. Disassemble this section as shown below:   Take a White 30cm Bit Light and thread the connector end of the cable through the bottom of the red round plate with open stud. Thread the cable all the way through, then reconnect the round plate to the brown plates ensuring the LED is facing diagonally down on the left side of the round red plate. We are positioning the LED this way, so that it will shine down onto Gunther’s section behind the cash register.     7.) Turn the sign section over so we can access underneath, then take another White 30cm Bit Light and with the cable facing away from you, place it in the centre of the front brown plate. Fold the cable down over the front of the brown plate, before reconnecting the “service” tile over the top. The LED is positioned in the centre so that it will shine directly down onto the cafe area.   Bring the cable from the first Bit Light over the top of the sign toward the back, then reconnect the arrow tile over the top. Flip the sign over onto it’s front, then take the two cables and twist them around each other 2-3 times at the left side to lock them in place. Reconnect the sign back to the set.     8.) Bring the cables underneath the black pole, then secure them both underneath the dark green tile behind ensuring they are both laid in between studs underneath.   Turn the set around so that we are facing the outside of the left wall, then bring the two cables down the top of the back wall, laying them in between the following studs. Secure the cables down by reconnecting the dark green tile.     9.) Connect both Bit Light cables to spare ports on the 6-Port Expansion Board, then turn ON the battery pack to test the Service sign lights are working OK.   Note: If you experience any issues with the lights not working and suspect an issue with a component, please try a different port on the expansion board to verify where the fault lies (with the light or expansion board). To correct any issues with expansion board ports, please view the section addressing expansion board issues on our online troubleshooting guide.   Before we reconnect all the dark green tiles, take the cable from the stage light and lay them around studs on the top of the wall. Secure them by reconnecting the dark green tiles over the top of the cable, one at a time.     10.) We will now install lights to the lamp in the corner. First disconnect the table with flowers, then disconnect the lamp from the corner and disassemble it as per below:   Take a White 15cm Micro Bit Light and carefully bend the LED slightly up, then place it inside the bottom of one of the gold round plates with open stud. Secure the LED in place by reconnecting one of the flame pieces. The LED should be secured in between the flame piece and gold plate as shown below. Ensuring the cable is facing the back, reconnect this section to the front of the lamp post.     11.) Repeat previous step to install another White 15cm Micro Bit Light to another fire section, then reconnect it to the lamp post ensuring the cable is laid behind.   Turn the lamp post over and install another 2x White 15cm Micro Bit Lights, then reconnect them to the lamp post ensuring the cables from the front two lights are laid in between the gaps on the curved gold brick underneath.     12.) We will need to remove sections of the wall in order for us to bring the lamp post light cables behind. Follow the below images to disconnect the following sections of the wall.   Reconnect the lamp post and lay the cables over the wall, then turn the set around to the back. Lay the two left cables in between studs, then lay the other two cables in between the next studs along. Reconnect all the wall sections we removed earlier.     13.) Connect the four Micro Bit Lights to a new Micro 4-Port Expansion Board. Take a 15cm Connecting Cable and connect it to one of the larger ports on the expansion board, then bring the cable around to the right side and connect it to one of the OUT ports on a Flicker Effects Board.   Take a 5cm Connecting Cable and connect it to the IN port on the Flicker Effects Board. Connect the other end of the cable to one of the larger ports on the other Micro 4-Port Expansion Board to the right. Turn ON the battery pack to test the lamp lights are working and flickering OK.   Note: If you experience any issues with the lights not working and suspect an issue with a component, please try a different port on the expansion board to verify where the fault lies (with the light or expansion board). To correct any issues with expansion board ports, please view the section addressing expansion board issues on our online troubleshooting guide.     14.) Take 2x Adhesive Squares and stick them on the back of the Micro 4-Port Expansion Board we connected the lamp post lights to. Stick the expansion board to the bottom of the wall in the following position, then bring the four cables together and secure them to the wall using tape.   Lift the set up so we can access underneath, then secure the excess cables from the Micro Bit Lights underneath the following two black plates at the bottom of the set. Turn the set back around again and reconnect the table with flowers in front of the lamp post.     15.) Stick an Adhesive Square to the back of the Flicker Effects Board, and another 2x Adhesive Squares on the back of the other Micro 4-Port Expansion Board. Stick both boards inside the space at the bottom of the wall toward the right. Use your LEGO removal tool to push down the boards so they securely stick down to the studs.     16.) Turn the set around to the front entrance area and disconnect the roof section above the doors. Take a Warm White Strip Light and connect a 50cm Connecting Cable to the left port.   Take a 5cm Connecting Cable and connect it to the Strip Light’s right port, then using it’s adhesive backing, stick the strip light underneath the roof section in the following position ensuring the 5cm cable is on the right side.     17.) Take another Warm White Strip Light and connect the other end of the 5cm Cable from previous step to it’s left port. Take a new 5cm Connecting Cable and connect it to the strip light’s right port. Flip the roof section over and reconnect it to the set. Bring the 5cm cable and strip light through to the inside of the building by slipping it in between the wall sections.   Bring the other end of the 50cm Connecting Cable through to the inside by slipping it in between wall sections, then bring the cable across to the right, laying it in between the dark green and beige tiles. Bring the cable back outside, securing it in place by slipping it in between wall sections as shown below.     18.) Disconnect the following dark green tile to the right, then lay the cable in between studs before reconnecting the tile over the top.   Continue to bring the cable around to the right side and lay it in between studs underneath the following dark green tiles.     19.) Turn the set around to the far right side and secure the 50cm connecting cable underneath the following dark green tile on the left, then connect the cable to the remaining port on the 6-Port Expansion Board. Turn ON the battery pack to test the two strip lights we have connected are working OK.   Note: If you experience any issues with the lights not working and suspect an issue with a component, please try a different port on the expansion board to verify where the fault lies (with the light or expansion board). To correct any issues with expansion board ports, please view the section addressing expansion board issues on our online troubleshooting guide.   Tuck the remaining two expansion boards inside the space at the bottom of the wall, then neaten up all the cables and secure them to the wall using tape.     20.) From the inside of the set, locate the Warm White Strip Light and using it’s adhesive backing, stick it underneath the two beige coloured tiles just above the front entrance. Because the tiles are thin, the strip light will only partially stick underneath them.   Secure the 5cm Connecting cable from the left underneath the following square tile, then disconnect the two longer tiles above the entrance and hide the 50cm cable on the back side of the studs underneath. Reconnect the two tiles over the top.   Bring the 5cm Connecting Cable on the right over to the front side of the wall, slipping it in between the wall sections.   Turn the set around, then take the remaining Warm White Strip Light and connect the 5cm Connecting Cable we brought over to it’s right port. Leave the strip light as is for now as we will fix it underneath the roof section later.     21.)  We will now install the remaining large bit light to the stage light on the right side of the set. First disconnect the black curved plate on top, then disconnect and disassemble the stage light section as per below   Take a Warm White Large 30cm Bit Light and install it to this stage light following the same method we used to install the first stage light.   Reconnect the stage light ensuring you first thread the cable through the stage light post and lay it in between studs underneath the technic brick. Reconnect the black curved plate on top.     22.) Turn the set around and connect the Large Bit Light to the Strip Light. Turn ON the battery pack to test all the lights are working OK.   Using it’s adhesive backing, stick the strip light underneath the middle of the roof section as shown below.     23.) Wind up the large bit light cable 2-3 times at the stage light post so the cable locks and is prevented from dangling down, then fold the cable together and thread it through the back of the post. Pull the cable all the way out from the front side.   Thread the cable back through the following space, pulling it all the way out from the back side of the post. Repeat this process again then tie a knot in the cable around the pole to secure everything in place.   Fold and twist up the remaining excess cable, then tuck it inside the stage post. Finally, turn ON the Battery Pack to test all your lights are working OK.     Note: If you experience any issues with the lights not working and suspect an issue with a component, please try a different port on the expansion board to verify where the fault lies (with the light or expansion board). To correct any issues with expansion board ports, please view the section addressing expansion board issues on our online troubleshooting guide.

Important things to note:

Laying cables in between and underneath bricks

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

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

Connecting cable connectors to Expansion Boards

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

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

Connecting cable connectors to Strip Lights

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

Connecting Micro Cable connectors to Micro Expansion Board Ports

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

Installing Bit Lights under LEGO® bricks and plates.

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

 

OK, Let’s Begin!

  1.) First disconnect the front wall panels as well as the fire sections from the right side of the entrance.   Next, take out the following provided LEGO pieces shown below:
  • 2x Black Tile 1×1 with Clip 
  • 2x Black 1×1 Modified Plate Rounded with Handle 
  • 2x Black Round Plate 1×1 with open stud
    2.) Take one of the black round plates with open stud and thread the connector end of a Green 30cm Bit Light through the bottom of the black plate. Thread it all the way through, then slightly bend the Bit Light on a 90 degree angle so that it can sit flat against the bottom of the black round plate as per below:   Connect this piece to one of the Black 1×1 Modified Plate Rounded with Handle pieces, then thread the connector side of the cable through the space just above the handle. Pull the cable all the way out from the other side, then attach the plate with clip at the bottom.     3.) Attach the assembled spot light facing up, to the bottom of the set in the following position(facing diagonally up left), then disconnect the the plant from the left. Repeat the previous step to assemble another spot light and install another Green 30cm Bit Light.   Connect the assembled spot light to the following position, facing the wall. Bring the cable behind and to the right side   Disconnect the following brown piece and lay the cable from the left spot light along the wall in between studs, then reconnect the piece over the top.   Disconnect the following two sections, then lay the cable from the left spot light along the wall in between studs. Reconnect the first section, then lay the cable from the right spot light underneath the leaves, then around the right corner stud before reconnecting the flower section over the top.     4.) Bring both the cables around the corner to the back side of the set, then connect them to an 8-Port Expansion Board. Take out the USB Power Cable and connect it to expansion board. Connect the other end to a USB Power Bank or wall adaptor (sold separately) and turn it ON to test the green lights are working OK.   Note: If you experience any issues with the lights not working and suspect an issue with a component, please try a different port on the expansion board to verify where the fault lies (with the light or expansion board). To correct any issues with expansion board ports, please view the section addressing expansion board issues on our online troubleshooting guide.     5.) We will now install another Green light to the Mud room at the top of the back side. Take a Green 30cm Bit Light and stick it to an Adhesive Square. Lift up the middle side flap and thread the Bit Light through to stick it to the front of the top inside this section as shown below.   Disconnect the following angled tile toward the back, then lay the cable in between studs before reconnecting the angled tile over the top. This will help secure the cable.   Bring the other end of the cable out, then bring it around the front and down towards the bottom to connect to the 8-Port Expansion Board underneath. Turn the USB Power Bank ON to test the light is working OK.     6.) We will now light up the restaurant room underneath. Take out a White 30cm Bit Light and stick it to another Adhesive Square. Lift up the side flap and thread the Bit Light down the following space on the side. Stick the Bit Light to the the front of the top section inside this room as shown below.   Disconnect the following tile, then bring the cable down and lay it across toward the front of the set in between studs, before reconnecting the tile over the top. This will help secure the cable.   Bring the other end of the cable out, then bring it down underneath the bottom side flap, to connect to the 8-Port Expansion Board underneath. Turn the USB Power Bank ON to test the light is working OK.   Note: If you experience any issues with the lights not working and suspect an issue with a component, please try a different port on the expansion board to verify where the fault lies (with the light or expansion board). To correct any issues with expansion board ports, please view the section addressing expansion board issues on our online troubleshooting guide.     7.) We will now light up the underground bunker at the bottom floor. First, we want to create a gap just above the room (above the green plate). To create this gap, gently push your finger up the roof plate of this room to slightly disconnect this section on the top left side as shown below.   Take a White 15cm Bit Light and thread it through this gap. Carefully place the entire set onto it’s front side so we can neatly position the Bit Light in the centre underneath the roof plate as shown below. Ensuring the Bit Light is facing down, secure it in place by connecting a provided Trans Clear Plate w Rounded Bottom 2×2 over it.   Bring the set back to it’s upright position and push down the section above the bunker room to close up the gap we created earlier. Bring the Bit Light cable down and connect it to the 8-Port Expansion Board underneath, then turn ON the USB Power Bank to test the light is working OK.     8.) Take the 2x White Strip Lights and connect them together using a 5cm Connecting Cable. Take a 50cm Connecting Cable and connect one end it to the left strip light. Take a 30cm Connecting Cable and connect one end to the right strip light.   Carefully place the entire set back over onto it’s front, then using their adhesive backings, stick the two strip lights underneath the following section as shown below: Do your best to stick them as closely as possible next to one another.     9.) Carefully bring the set back to it’s upright position, then take the 50cm connecting cable from the left side and thread it all the way up the top left corner behind the gears. Thread the cable back down in between the wall and the black bar and pull it out over the top of the light grey plate as show below:   Completely disconnect the smaller technic bar, then disconnect just the bottom section of the longer technic bar. Bring the cable over to the left, then reconnect both technic bars, securing the cable in place.   Bring the cable down and then across toward the front, then tuck it in underneath the top side flap.   Bring the cable down toward the bottom and connect it to the 8-Port Expansion Board. Lift up the bottom side flap and bring the connecting cable underneath it. Turn the USB Power Bank ON to test the strip lights are working OK.   Note: If you experience any issues with the lights not working and suspect an issue with a component, please try a different port on the expansion board to verify where the fault lies (with the light or expansion board). To correct any issues with expansion board ports, please view the section addressing expansion board issues on our online troubleshooting guide.     10.) Disconnect the USB Power Cable from the expansion board, then neaten up all the cables (Except the two spot light cables) by grouping them altogether, then folding and twisting them around each other to form a neat bunch.   Pull the two spot light cables out the back side, then twist and fold them around each other into a neat bunch. Twist the two bunched up cables together into one larger bunch.     11.) Turn the set around to the front side as we will now light up the fire sections on the right. Take the bottom wall plate as well as the fire section. Disconnect and disassemble to trans orange flame pieces as shown below:   Take a White 30cm Bit Light and with the cable facing the back and in between studs, place it over the front right stud of the grey brick section as shown below. Secure the Bit Light in place by reconnecting one of the trans orange round plates over the top.   Repeat this step to install another 3x White 30cm Bit Lights to this section ensuring all cables are facing the back and laid in between studs as shown below:     12.) Take the four trans orange flame pieces and carefully snip off the tips using a pair of scissors.   Reconnect the flames pieces to the trans orange round plates over the bit lights before reconnecting this section back to the wall. Ensure the cables are laid out toward the left side.   Turn the wall section around and disconnect the large dark grey plate on the right side. Bring the three cables together and lay them across to the left, then reconnect the dark grey plate ensuring the cables are laid in between the studs of the dark grey plate. Also ensure the cables are side by side rather than on top of each other underneath the plate.     13.) Reconnect this bottom wall section, then bring the cables out toward the back, underneath the bottom side flap.  Connect the four cables to a 6-Port Expansion Board.   Take a 5cm Connecting Cable and connect it to the 6-Port Expansion Board. Connect the other end of the cable to one of the OUT ports on a Flicker Effects Board.   Take another 5cm Connecting Cable and connect it to the IN port on the Flicker Effects Board. Connect the other end of the cable to the 8-Port Expansion Board from previous steps.   Reconnect the USB power Cable to the remaining port on the 8-Port Expansion Board. Turn your USB Power Bank ON to test the fire section from the front wall are working and flickering OK.   Note: If you experience any issues with the lights not working and suspect an issue with a component, please try a different port on the expansion board to verify where the fault lies (with the light or expansion board). To correct any issues with expansion board ports, please view the section addressing expansion board issues on our online troubleshooting guide.   Neaten up the cables from the bottom fire section by grouping them together and folding and twisting around each other into a neat bunch     14.) We will now light the torches on the middle wall section. First disassemble the pieces from the flame section, then using the same method used to install lights to the bottom fire section, install 4x White 15cm Bit Lights to this middle fire section.     15.) Reconnect the fire section to the middle wall section ensuring the cables are laid behind to the right side. Reconnect the middle wall section to the gate, then bring the cables to the right side underneath the middle side flap. The four cables should fit nicely into the gaps of the bottom of the wall plate.   Connect the four cables to a new 6-Port Expansion Board. Take a 15cm Connecting Cable and connect it to the 6-Port Expansion Board. Bring the other end of the cable down to the bottom to connect to a different OUT port on the Flicker Effects Board. Turn ON the USB Power Bank to test the fire torches in the middle wall section are working and flickering OK.   Note: If you experience any issues with the lights not working and suspect an issue with a component, please try a different port on the expansion board to verify where the fault lies (with the light or expansion board). To correct any issues with expansion board ports, please view the section addressing expansion board issues on our online troubleshooting guide.   Neaten up the cables from the middle fire section by grouping them together and folding and twisting around each other into a neat bunch. Take 2x Adhesive Squares and stick them to the back of the expansion board. Mount the expansion board to the dark grey wall plate on the side, then ensure the four cables are neatly laid and tucked into the space behind the wall plate.     16.) Take the top wall section along with the fire torch section on the very top, then disassemble the flame pieces. Install another 4x White 15cm Bit Lights to this section (same way we did for previous fire sections).   Reconnect the fire section to the top wall panel ensuring the cables are this time, laid behind toward the left.     17.) Before we reconnect the wall section, take the fire section on the very top of the gate and disconnect the flame sections as per below:   Take a White 15cm Bit Light and with the cable facing behind, place it in between studs in the following position. Secure the Bit Light in place by reconnecting one of the flame pieces directly over the top, then repeat this step to install another White 15cm Bit Light to the other flame.   Reconnect the plate with flame pieces to the top of the gate, then tuck both of the cables underneath. Bring the cables underneath the side flap section to the back as shown below:     18.) Take the top wall section and fold the cables behind and across the left section. Ensure the cables are laid in the following space underneath the wall plate before reconnecting this section to the front of the set.   Bring the cables to the back, underneath the top flap section, then connect them along with the two bit light cables from the top to a new 8-Port Expansion Board.   Take a 30cm Connecting Cable and connect it to a spare port on the 8-port expansion board. Bring the other end of the cable all the way down and connect it to the remaining OUT port on the Flicker Effects Board. Turn ON the USB Power Bank to test the top fire torches are all working and flickering OK.       19.) Now that we have completed installation of all the lights on the right side of the gate, take the time to neaten up cables and components. Starting with the bottom section, neatly tuck in all the components and cables (leaving the USB cable out). Ensure the bottom side flap can completely close.   Moving up to the middle section, neatly tuck the 30cm Connecting Cable into the side section.   Lift up the top side flap and group the cables together into a neat bunch by twisting and folding them around each other. Stick 2x Adhesive Squares to the back of the 8-Port Expansion Board. Mount the expansion board to the following position on the side of the set, then securely reconnect the top side flap.   Reconnect the remaining two tiles at the very top. The back of the set should look like below, without any cables visible.      20.) Turn the set to the back, then take the other end of the 30cm Connecting Cable from the White strip Light on the right side and thread it all the way up the top right corner. Thread the cable back down and then pull it out from the front in between the wall and black technic bar. Pull the cable all the way out as shown below.   Disconnect the smaller technic bar as well as the bottom part of the larger technic bar. Pull the cable across to the right as per below, then reconnect the technic bars to secure the cable in place.   Bring the 30cm Connecting Cable down and connect it to the first available port on a new 8-Port Expansion Board. Take a 15cm Connecting Cable and connect it to the end port on that expansion board, then connect the other end of the 15cm cable to another 8-Port Expansion Board.     21.) Turn the set around to the front side, then disconnect the wall sections as well as all the fire torch sections.     Repeat step 2 to install another 2x Green 30cm Bit Lights to another two assembled LEGO spot lights using the provided LEGO pieces.     22.) Disconnect the following two plants from the left side of the set, then connect one of the spot lights in the below position (facing diagonally up to the left):   Bring the cable behind and to the left side before reconnecting the two plants we disconnected earlier.   Disconnect the following plant section and flower pieces behind it, then lay the cable in between studs against the wall before reconnecting the flower pieces over it.     23.) Disconnect the following plant at the brown plate, then connect the second spot light to the top of it ensuring the it is angled to the right as shown below. Tuck the cable underneath the leaves toward the back right. Lay the cable along with the cable from the right spotlight over to the left in between studs before reconnecting this section over the top.   Bring the two cables around to the back and secure them underneath the following angled tile. Connect the two bit light cables to the lower 8-Port Expansion Board from previous step. Turn the USB Power Bank ON to test the spot lights on this side are working OK.   Note: If you experience any issues with the lights not working and suspect an issue with a component, please try a different port on the expansion board to verify where the fault lies (with the light or expansion board). To correct any issues with expansion board ports, please view the section addressing expansion board issues on our online troubleshooting guide.     24.) We will now install some lights to the ground control room on the back side. We need to create a gap just above the brown plate so that we can pull the entire wall section out. Use the LEGO Removal tool to create the gap, then using your finger, pull the control panel section out as shown below.   Disassemble the control panel light section as per below, then take the bottom section and disconnect the trans green plate.     25.) Take a Flashing White 15cm Bit Light and with the cable facing toward you, place it over the stud on the right. Secure the light in place by reconnecting the trans green plate over the top.

Angle the light so that it is facing slightly diagonally down toward the dinosaur eggs.     32.) Bring the cable toward the right side then pull it out the middle space as shown below. Thread the cable down the right corner and pull it out the front, the same we did for the other two Bit Light cables. Neatly tuck the cable underneath the egg shells and leaf pieces.   Disconnect the following two technic bars, then pull all three Bit Light cables across the right side, before reconnecting the technic bars to secure the cables in place.   Bring the three cables down around the right side and connect them to the 8-Port Expansion Board underneath the middle side flap.   Reconnect the top bar section, then turn the set around to the front and reconnect the “Jurassic Park” sign. Turn ON the USB Power Bank to test all the spot lights are working OK.   Note: If you experience any issues with the lights not working and suspect an issue with a component, please try a different port on the expansion board to verify where the fault lies (with the light or expansion board). To correct any issues with expansion board ports, please view the section addressing expansion board issues on our online troubleshooting guide.     33.) We will now install lights to the fire sections on the left side of the gate. Take the bottom wall section and disconnect and disassemble the fire torches. Install 4x White 30cm Bit Lights to them, the same way we did for the torches on the right side.     34.) Reconnect the torch section to the wall ensuring the cables are laid behind to the right, then turn it around and disconnect the vertical dark grey plate on the left. Pull the four cables across to the right side and while ensuring the cables are side by side (rather than on top of each other), reconnect the dark grey plate.   Pull the four Bit Light cables from the control room across to the left. Ensure they are all spread out neatly, then reconnect the lower wall plate to the set. To allow the wall to reconnect properly, disconnect the top fern piece at the bottom and reconnect it to a different position slightly higher.   Connect the four Bit Lights from the fire torch to a new 6-Port Expansion Board. Connect a new 5cm Connecting Cable to this expansion board and connect the other end of the cable to one of the OUT ports on a new Flicker Effects Board.   Take another 5cm Connecting Cable and connect it to the IN port on the Flicker Effects Board, then connect the other end of the cable to the remaining port on the 8-Port Expansion Board above. Turn the USB Power Bank ON to test the front lights are working and flickering OK.     35.) Take the middle wall section and disconnect and disassemble the fire torches. Install 4x White 15cm Bit Lights to the fire section, the same way we did for previous fire sections.     36.) Reconnect the torch section to the wall ensuring the cables are laid behind to the left side, then reconnect the wall to the gate. Connect the four Bit Lights to a new 6-Port Expansion Board. Take a 15cm Connecting Cable and connect it to the 6-port Expansion Board, then bring the expansion board and cables toward the back, underneath the middle side flap. Turn the set around, then take the other end of the 15cm Connecting Cable and connect it to another OUT port on the Flicker Effects Board.   Turn the USB Power Bank ON to test the middle fire torches are working and flickering OK.   Note: If you experience any issues with the lights not working and suspect an issue with a component, please try a different port on the expansion board to verify where the fault lies (with the light or expansion board). To correct any issues with expansion board ports, please view the section addressing expansion board issues on our online troubleshooting guide.     37.) Neaten up cables toward the bottom by grouping them and folding twisting them together into a neat bunch. Neatly tuck them in to the side compartment, leaving the Flicker Effects board out.   Neaten up cables in the middle side area by grouping the four cables from the middle fire torches and folding and twisting them around each other to form a neat bunch. Take 2x Adhesive Squares and stick them to the back of the 6-Port Expansion Board, then stick the expansion board to the dark grey wall piece in the following position:   Take another 2x Adhesive Squares and stick them to the back of the 8-Port Expansion Board, then mount the expansion board to the inside of the wall facing the back. Pull the cables connected to the expansion board inside before closing the flap.     38.) We will now light up the top part of the gate. First disconnect and disassemble to torches connected to the top wall section, then install another 4x White 15cm Bit Lights to it as shown below:     39.) Reconnect the fire torch section to the wall ensuring the cables are laid behind to the right, then turn the wall plate around and pull the cables across to the right side. Ensure the cables are laying in between the spaces of the bottom of the angled plate studs, before reconnecting the top wall section to the front of the gate.   Connect the four Bit Lights to the remaining 8-Port Expansion Board.     40.)

Important things to note:

Laying cables in between and underneath bricks

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

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

Connecting cable connectors to Expansion Boards

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

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

Connecting cable connectors to Strip Lights

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

Connecting micro cable connectors to Micro Expansion Board Ports

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

Installing Bit Lights under LEGO® bricks and plates.

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

 

OK, Let’s Begin!

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

Important things to note:

Laying cables in between and underneath bricks

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

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

Connecting cable connectors to Expansion Boards

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

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

Connecting cable connectors to Strip Lights

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

Connecting micro cable connectors to Micro Expansion Board Ports

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

Installing Bit Lights under LEGO® bricks and plates.

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

 

OK, Let’s Begin!

1.) First remove the left section of the village by disconnecting it at the bridge. Take the main section of the village and turn it onto it’s back so we can access underneath.   Take 2x Green Strip Lights and using their adhesive backing, stick them onto the bases of the provided 2x Plate 1×6.   Connect the two strip lights together using a 15cm Connecting Cable then take another 15cm Connecting Cable and connect it to the right strip light’s other port.   2.) Take another 15cm Connecting Cable and connect it to the left strip light’s other port, then mount both strip lights underneath the village in the following positions.   Secure the 15cm Connecting Cable connected between the two strip lights underneath the following plates by first disconnecting them, then reconnecting them over the cables ensuring they are carefully laid in between studs. Tuck any remaining excess cable from the 15cm cable up into the space toward the left of the left strip light, then flip the set back over.     3.) Turn the set around to the back, then take the other end of the 15cm connecting cable and connect it to a 6-port Expansion Board. Connect the USB power Cable to the end port on the expansion board, then connect it up to your USB Power Bank (sold separately) to test the green strip lights are working OK.   Note: If you experience any issues with the lights not working and suspect an issue with a component, please try a different port on the expansion board to verify where the fault lies (with the light or expansion board). To correct any issues with expansion board ports, please view the section addressing expansion board issues on our online troubleshooting guide.     4.) Take a 30cm Connecting Cable and connect it to a spare port on the expansion board, then bring it up and thread it all the way through the space behind C3PO’s throne.   Open the secret door behind the tree and place the expansion board inside. With the connecting cables laid out the top and USB cable laid down the bottom, close the door. Secure both connecting cables and prevent them from dangling down by laying them underneath the following tree section.   Take the other end of the 30cm Connecting Cable and connect it to a 8-Port Expansion Board     5.) Turn the village set back around to the front as we will now install lights to the upper parts of the tree starting with the right side.   Take a Green 30cm Bit Light and thread the connector end of the cable through the top of the following hole on the right tree branch. Thread it all the way through then carefully bend the LED component so that it sits flat against the top edge of the hole.   Thread the other side of the cable through the back, then pull it all the way out from the other side, then secure the cable by laying it underneath the branch section above. Ensure the cable is neatly laid in between LEGO studs.     6.) Take another Green 30cm Bit Light and thread the connector end of the cable through the top of the following hole on the right tree branch. Thread it all the way through, thread the other side of the cable through the space underneath and pull it all the way out from the other side.   Carefully bend the LED component so that it sits flat against the top edge of the hole.   Repeat the previous 2 steps to install another 2x Green 30cm Bit Lights to the tree section in the following positions.     7.) Turn the village around the back and group all four green bit light cables together on the right side. Connect the lights to the 8-Port Expansion Board below, then turn the USB Power Bank ON to test the green tree lights are working OK.   Note: If you experience any issues with the lights not working and suspect an issue with a component, please try a different port on the expansion board to verify where the fault lies (with the light or expansion board). To correct any issues with expansion board ports, please view the section addressing expansion board issues on our online troubleshooting guide.   Disconnect the four lights from the expansion board, then twist/wind the cables around each other at the top of the tree trunk. Secure the cable from the left side underneath the following LEGO piece.   Continue to twist/wind the four cables around each all the way to the end so they all come together to form one larger cable.   Reconnect the Bit Light cables to the 8-port expansion board, then wind any excess cable around the larger cable.   Secure the bit light cables to the right side of the tree using tape. This will prevent the cables from being seen from the front of the set.     8.) Turn the set back around to the front as we will now install another two green lights to the middle tree. First disconnect the following tree section.   Take a Green 30cm Bit Light and thread it through the top of the following hole on the right side. Thread it all the way through, then carefully bend the LED component so that it sits flat against the edge of the hole. Bring the cable behind toward the back.   Take another Green 30cm Bit Light and thread it through the top of the following hole on the left side. Thread it all the way through, then carefully bend the LED component so that it sits flat against the edge of the hole. Bring the cable behind toward the back.   Reconnect the set of tree branches that we removed earlier.     9.) Turn the set around to the back and bring the cable on the right over to the left side, then twist/wind the two cables around each other all the way to the end so they come together forming a larger cable.   Connect the two lights to the 8-port expansion board below, then turn ON the USB Power Bank to test the lights we have just installed are working OK.   Note: If you experience any issues with the lights not working and suspect an issue with a component, please try a different port on the expansion board to verify where the fault lies (with the light or expansion board). To correct any issues with expansion board ports, please view the section addressing expansion board issues on our online troubleshooting guide.     10.) Bring the two green bit light cables we just installed, inside the tree, then secure them underneath the following section.   Hide the cables underneath behind C3PO’s throne, then neatly place the 8-port expansion board behind the brown railing.     Take the other end of the 15cm Connecting Cable from the Green Strip Light closest to the middle of the set and thread it through to the back of the set. Turn the set around to the back and connect the 15cm connecting cable to a new 6-Port Expansion Board     11.) Turn the set back around to the front as we will install a few more green lights to the tree on the left. First disconnect the flying Ewok, then follow the same methods used in previous steps to install another 3x Green 30cm Bit Lights to this tree.     12.) Turn the set around to the back and bring the cable on the left toward the right and secure them underneath the following two sections as shown below:   Group the three cables near the top of the lower tree branch and twist/wind the cables around each other other all the way to the end so they come together forming one larger cable.   Thread the cables through the gaps in between the tree and brown railings, then connect them to the 6-port expansion board below. Turn ON the USB Power Bank to test the three green lights are working OK.   Note: If you experience any issues with the lights not working and suspect an issue with a component, please try a different port on the expansion board to verify where the fault lies (with the light or expansion board).

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

Important things to note:

Laying cables in between and underneath bricks

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

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

Connecting cable connectors to Expansion Boards

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

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

Connecting cable connectors to Strip Lights

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

Installing Bit Lights under LEGO® bricks and plates.

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

 

OK, Let’s Begin!

1.) We will start by first installing lights to the lava at the front of the castle. First disconnect the following black tiles at the front, then turn the castle around and remove the tie fighter. Gently press up against the following sections to lift up the entire top half of the castle.   Turn the base of the castle back around to the front and remove following sections:     2.) Take the following section and disconnect all the trans coloured pieces, then take 2x White 15cm Bit Lights and with the cables facing up, place the bit lights down in the following positions, in between studs. Secure the lights in place by reconnecting the trans coloured section over the top. Ensure both Bit Lights are secured directly in between studs as shown below:     3.) Take both cables and thread them through the space on the right, which leads to the inside of the castle. Pull the cables all the way out from the inside, then reconnect the lava section. Ensure both cables are neatly laid along the right of the following light grey stud.     4.) Take another White 15cm Bit Light and with the other end of the cable facing the right, place the bit light in between the two grey studs. Ensuring the cable is laid toward the right around the side closest to the front, secure the bit light in place by reconnecting the trans orange wall piece over the top. It is very important that the cable is laid on the side of the grey stud closest to the front. This will prevent the cable from snapping later on when the pieces are reconnected on top.   Take the other end of the Bit Light cable and thread it through the space on the right, then pull it all the way out from the inside of the castle.   Reconnect the two dark grey wall sections starting with the one on the right. Ensure the three cables are laid around the far left stud before reconnecting the left wall section over the top.     5.) Take your AA Battery Pack and insert 3x AA Batteries to it. Connect the battery pack cable to a 6-Port Expansion Board, then connect the three bit light cables to it. Turn the battery pack ON to test that all three lights are working OK.   Note: If you experience any issues with the lights not working and suspect an issue with a component, please try a different port on the expansion board to verify where the fault lies (with the light or expansion board). To correct any issues with expansion board ports, please view the section addressing expansion board issues on our online troubleshooting guide.     6.) Take the following section we removed earlier and disconnect the light grey plate from underneath. Disconnect the trans orange section, then reconnect the light grey plate to the front of the castle.   Take 2x White 15cm Bit Lights and with the cables facing the back, place them over the two trans orange round tiles. Ensuring both cables are laid in between the studs in the centre, reconnect the trans orange section over the top to secure them in place. Reconnect the section we removed the light grey plate from earlier, ensuring the cables are first laid in between studs.   Continue to reconnect surrounding sections we removed in step 1.     7.) From the inside of the castle, connect the two bit light cables we just installed to the next ports along the 6-port expansion board, then turn ON the battery Pack to test all the lava lights are working OK.   Note: If you experience any issues with the lights not working and suspect an issue with a component, please try a different port on the expansion board to verify where the fault lies (with the light or expansion board). To correct any issues with expansion board ports, please view the section addressing expansion board issues on our online troubleshooting guide.   Disconnect the AA Battery Pack, then take a Multi Effects Board and connect a 5cm Connecting Cable to one of the OUT ports (side with 2 ports). Connect the other end of the 5cm cable to the 6-port expansion board, then connect your AA Battery Pack to the IN port on the multi-effects board (side with 1 port)     8.) We will now configure the Multi Effects Board. Turn ON the AA Battery Pack and configure your desired effect by simply flicking the switch and adjusting the speed wheel. To configure the effect used in the Light My Bricks example, set the switch to the far right for ‘pulse’ effect. Turn the wheel all the way to left for the slowest speed.     Once you are happy with the chosen effect, disconnect the AA Battery Pack from the effects board. Take a new 5cm Connecting Cable and connect it to a new 6-Port Expansion Board. Connect the other end of the 5cm cable to the IN port on the Multi Effects Board (where we disconnected the battery pack from).       9.) Thread your AA Battery Pack through the space on the left side of the castle. Pull the cable in from the inside and connect it to the second 6-port expansion board we installed.   Neaten up cabling from the inside of the castle by grouping all the cables from the lava section and twisting/folding them together to form a neat bunch.     10.) We will now install a light to the pink diamond on the outside of the castle. First disconnect the wall section it sits on then disconnect the trans pink piece. Take a Pink 30cm Bit Light and with the cable facing behind, place it over the red stud. Secure the Bit Light in place by reconnecting the trans pink piece over the top.   Turn this section around to the back, then fold the cable down the back of the section.   Reconnect this section to the castle base, then thread the pink bit light cable through the same space we threaded the battery pack cable through. Pull it all the way out from the inside then connect it to the second 6-port expansion board we installed. Turn ON the battery pack to test the light is working OK.   Note: If you experience any issues with the lights not working and suspect an issue with a component, please try a different port on the expansion board to verify where the fault lies (with the light or expansion board). To correct any issues with expansion board ports, please view the section addressing expansion board issues on our online troubleshooting guide.     11.) We will now install a flashing light over to the right side of the castle. First disconnect the control panel section, then disconnect the trans green round tile. Take a Flashing White 30cm Bit Light and with the cable facing behind, place it over the black stud. Secure the light in place by connecting a provided Trans Green Round Plate 1×1 over the top.   Reconnect the control panel, then thread the other end of the cable through the following space. Pull it all the way out from the inside of the castle, then thread the cable in between the wall and control panel. Continue to thread it around the next wall section to lead back inside the castle.   Hide the cable by disconnecting the following section, then reconnecting it over the top of the cable as shown below.   Connect the flashing white bit light cable it to the next spare port on the 6-port expansion board, then turn ON the battery pack to test the light is working OK.   Note: If you experience any issues with the lights not working and suspect an issue with a component, please try a different port on the expansion board to verify where the fault lies (with the light or expansion board). To correct any issues with expansion board ports, please view the section addressing expansion board issues on our online troubleshooting guide.     12.) Disconnect the Battery Pack cable from the expansion board inside the castle, then neaten up cabling by grouping all cables connected to the second 6-port expansion board and twisting/folding around each other to form a neat bunch.     Lift up the section so we can access underneath, then secure the flashing white 30cm bit light cable underneath the following 2×2 plate.   Take a 15cm Connecting cable and connect one end to a spare port on the second 6-port Expansion Board.       13.) We will now install lights to the main section of the castle. First pull out the black technic pin on the right side, then disconnect the two walls by unclipping them from the bottom.   Remove the Darth Vader’s bacta tank, disconnect the top of it as shown below:     14.) Take a Cool White 30cm Bit Light and with the led facing down and cable laid behind, place if over the top of the tank, then secure it in place by reconnecting the top section. If you look up from the front of the tank, you should be able to see the Bit Light facing down.   Turn the tank around to the back and fold the cable down and secure it underneath the black angled brick at the bottom.   Reconnect the bacta tank then thread the cable behind and out the right side of this section.     15.) Remove the Darth Sidious hologram from the level above and disassemble it as shown below:   Take another Cool White 30cm Bit Light and place it over the black base’s stud. Secure the bit light in place by connecting a provided Trans Light Blue Round Plate 1×1 over the top, then reconnect the hologram piece ensuring the cable is facing the back.   Reconnect this section back to the castle, then lay the cable behind Darth Vader’s throne and around to the right.     16.) Take both ends of the Cool White Bit Light cables and connect each to one of the OUT ports on a Flicker effects Board   Secure both cables underneath the following light grey plate with clip, then fold/twist the two cables around each other into a neat bunch as shown below:   Test the flickering lights by connecting your AA Battery Pack to the IN port on the Flicker Effects Board. Turn the battery pack on to see the bacta tank and hologram come to life.   Note: If you experience any issues with the lights not working and suspect an issue with a component, please try a different port on the expansion board to verify where the fault lies (with the light, expansion board or effects board). To correct any issues with expansion board ports, please view the section addressing expansion board issues on our online troubleshooting guide.     17.) Disconnect the AA Battery Pack, then connect a 5cm Connecting Cable to the IN port on the flicker effects board. Connect the other end of the cable to a new 6-Port Expansion Board.     18.) Take 2x Red Strip Lights and using their adhesive backing, stick them to the bases of the provided 2x Black Plate 1×6, then connect the two strip lights together using a 5cm Connecting Cable.   Take a 30cm Connecting Cable and connect one end to the right strip light, then take a 15cm Connecting Cable and connect one end to the left strip light.     19.) Lift up the base where the darth vader meditation chamber is, then mount both Red Strip Lights underneath it in the below positions. Ensure the 30cm Connecting cable is closest to the back.   Take the other end of the 30cm Connecting Cable and thread it up the following space, which leads to the floor above (darth vader chamber). Pull the cable all the way out.   Connect the other end of the 30cm cable to the 6-Port Expansion Board below, then connect your AA Battery Pack to another spare port on the expansion board. Turn ON the battery pack to test the red strip lights are working OK.   Note: If you experience any issues with the lights not working and suspect an issue with a component, please try a different port on the expansion board to verify where the fault lies (with the light or expansion board). To correct any issues with expansion board ports, please view the section addressing expansion board issues on our online troubleshooting guide.     20.) Take the entire left wall section and reconnect it by clipping it to the base of this section as shown below: Take another Red Strip Light and using it’s adhesive backing, stick it to the bast of another provided Black Plate 1×6. Take the other end of the 15cm Connecting Cable from the red strip light from previous step and connect it to the Red Strip light from this step.   Take a new 15cm Connecting Cable and connect it to the other port on the Red Strip Light, then Mount the strip light underneath the top level as shown below. Ensure the spare end of the 15cm cable is facing the left.     21.) Take another 2x Red Strip Lights and using their adhesive backings, stick them to the bases of another provided 2x Black Plate 1×6.   Take the other end of the 15cm Connecting Cable and thread it up to the top level and connect it to one of the Red Strip Lights. Take a new 30cm Connecting Cable and connect one end to the other side of the Red Strip Light.     22.) Mount the Red Strip Light to the inside of the left wall in the following position. Ensure you loop the 15cm connecting cable underneath the 1×6 plate in order to eliminate excess cable.     Bring the other end of the 30cm Connecting Cable underneath the top level to bring it around to the right side. Connect it to the other spare Red Strip Light from previous step.     23.) Before reconnecting the main right wall section, ensure the bit light cables and connecting cable are laid to the left side of the light grey clip.   Mount the Red Strip Light from previous step to the inside of the right wall in the following position. Eliminate excess cable by looping the connecting cable underneath the black 1×6 plate.     24.) Take Darth Vader and disconnect his lightsaber and replace it with the provided Red Light My Bricks Lightsaber.      Place Darth Vader in his chamber (or anywhere on this floor) and bring the lightsaber cable behind and thread it through space in between this floor and the right wall. Pull the cable down from the outside, then secure it underneath the right wall.   Securely reconnect the right wall section by pushing in the black technic pin on the right, then connect the lightsaber cable to the 6-port Expansion Board underneath.     Connect the AA Battery Pack to a spare port on the 6-port Expansion Board and turn it ON to test all the lights in this main section are working OK.   Note: If you experience any issues with the lights not working and suspect an issue with a component, please try a different port on the expansion board to verify where the fault lies (with the light, expansion board or effects board). To correct any issues with expansion board ports, please view the section addressing expansion board issues on our online troubleshooting guide.     25.) Disconnect the AA Battery Pack and place it at the bottom of the castle on the left side. Thread the cable through the gap on the left side that leads to the inside of the castle. Connect the cable to a spare port on the second 6-port expansion board from step 8. Ensure you do not connect the battery pack to the 6-port expansion board with the “lava lights” connected to it.   Secure the cable in place by laying it underneath the tan coloured 1×1 angled tile.     26.) Carefully turn the main section of the castle onto it’s front so we can access underneath. Take 2x White Strip Lights and using their adhesive backings, stick them to the bases of provided 2x Black Plate 1×6. Connect the two strip lights together using a 5cm Connecting Cable.   Take a new 5cm Connecting Cable and connect it to the other end of one of the white strip lights. Connect the other end of the cable to the 6-port expansion board underneath this section.   27.) Mount both strip lights underneath the main section of the castle in the following positions. Ensure the strip light connected to the expansion board is closest to the back.   Take 4x Adhesive Squares and stick two to the back of the expansion board, and another two to the back of the flicker effects board. Mount both expansion board and effects board to the side of the underneath section as shown below:     28.) Take the main section of the castle over the top of the base section. Locate the other end of the 15cm Connecting Cable from step 12 and connect it to a spare port on the 6-port expansion board underneath the main section of the castle.   Securely reconnect the main section on top of the base section ensuring you first connect the right side (to prevent pinching cables on the right side)     29.) Reconnect the black tiles along the front of the castle to secure the main section down, then place the tie fighter back to the bottom section of the castle.     This finally completes installation of the Light My Bricks Darth Vader Castle Light Kit.
