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 and the front indicator lights. To start, disconnect and disassemble the following sections as shown below:   Take a White 30cm Large Bit Light and place it in the centre of the black round plate. Secure the Large Bit Light in place by reconnecting the trans clear dish over the top.   Pull down the following section, then thread the connector end of the Bit Light cable underneath the middle of this section. Pull the cable all the way up from the top, then reconnect the headlight ensuring the cable of the light is facing the bottom of the headlight.     2.) Thread the Large Bit Light cable down the light grey technic brick hole on the right side. Turn the Harley around to the left side and pull the cable all the way out as shown below:   Thread the cable behind the following bar, then connect the Bit Light to a 6-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 headlight 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.   Reconnect the plate above the headlight, then disconnect the USB Power Cable from the expansion board. Eliminate excess cable by folding and twisting the cable around itself a few times into a neat bunch.     3.) We will now install the front indicator lights. First disconnect both of these sections and disassemble them as shown below:   Take one of the grey sections and place it onto it’s side with the handle on the bottom. Take a White 15cm Micro Bit Light and place the led inside the plate. Ensure the cable is facing down and the LED is facing the correct side up. Secure the Micro Bit Light in place by reconnecting the trans orange round plate.  Thread the cable through the space in between the handle bar and plate, then pull the cable all the way out from behind.   Repeat this step to install another White 15cm Micro Bit Light to the other indicator light.     4.) Reconnect the right indicator light, then thread the cable up the technic brick hole to the right of it. Pull the cable all the way out from the top then from the other side of the vehicle, wind the cable around the handle bar. Thread the cable down the following technic brick hole in the centre of the bike, then connect it to a Micro 4-Port Expansion Board.   Reconnect the left indicator light section, then thread the cable up the hole toward the left. Pull the cable all the way out, then from the left side of the bike, thread the cable around the handle bars as shown below to then connect to the Micro 4-Port Expansion Board.     5.) Connect the USB Power Cable and to the Expansion Board’s larger port and turn ON the USB Power Bank to test the indicator lights are working OK.   Disconnect the USB Power Cable from the Micro Expansion Board and connect a 5cm Connecting Cable to the large port instead. Connect the other end of the cable to a spare port on the 6-Port Expansion Board below.     6.) We will now install the rear indicator lights. Disconnect each indicator section and disassemble them as shown below:   Take a White 30cm Micro Bit Light and with the lego pin facing the same way as the connector side of the cable, place the LED inside the grey plate. Secure the Micro Bit Light in place by reconnecting the trans orange round plate over the top.   Repeat this step to install another White 30cm Micro Bit Light to the other rear light section.     7.) Follow the below images to disconnect sections surrounding the back of the Harley.   Reconnect the rear right indicator section, then from the right side of the vehicle, thread the cable up behind the grey technic piece. Pull the cable up, then disconnect the dark red section above. Bring the cable over to the other side and lay it in between studs before reconnecting the dark red section.   Reconnect the rear left light section, then from the left side of the vehicle, thread the cable up behind the grey technic piece.  Disconnect the following plate above, then lay the cable toward the centre, in between studs. Reconnect the plate over the cable.     8.) Group the two rear light cables together, then thread them down the space at the front of the rear wheel. From the left side of the vehicle, pull the cables out the space just above the bike chain. Pull the cables all the way out.   Disconnect the following black section to the left of the cables, then disconnect the Harley Davidson fuel tank section.     9.) Take the two rear indicator light cables and connect them to the Micro Expansion Board at the front. Take the USB Power Cable and connect it to the 6-Port Expansion Board, then turn the power bank ON to test the rear indicator 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.) Take 2x Adhesive Squares and stick them to the back of the Micro Expansion Board. Tuck the expansion board inside just above the back of the front wheel. Mount the expansion board inside on the light grey technic studs as shown below.   Take a 30cm Connecting Cable and connect it to a spare port on the 6-Port Expansion Board, then bring the cable over toward the back of the bike. Thread the cable up the space just above the bike chain that leads into the section behind the bike seat. Pull the cable all the way out and connect it to the large port on a new Micro 4-Port Expansion Board.   Take the USB Power Cable and thread it through the space behind the back wheel, then pull it up from the other side and connect it to the other large port on the Micro Expansion Board. This will be the permanent position of the USB Power Cable. Turn the Power ON to ensure all is working so far.     11.) We will now install the rear lights. Disconnect the entire back section, then disassemble it as shown below:   Take a White 15cm Micro Bit Light and with the cable facing up, place it over the far left black stud. Ensuring the LED is facing the correct way up, secure the Micro Bit Light in place by reconnecting the left trans red tile over the top.   Take another White 15cm Micro Bit Light and with the cable facing up, place it in between the second and third black stud. Ensuring the LED is facing the correct way up, secure the Micro Bit Light in place by reconnecting the left trans red tile over the top.   Take the remaining White 15cm Micro Bit Light and with the cable facing up, place it over the far right black stud. Ensuring the LED is facing the correct way up, secure the Micro Bit Light in place by reconnecting the left trans red tile over the top.     12.) Turn the section over and fold the cables down underneath, then flip it back over and reconnect it to the upper section ensuring the cables are laid in between studs underneath.   Reconnect this section to the back of the bike, then bring the three cables up from inside of the space behind the seat and connect them to the Micro Expansion Board. Turn the power ON to test the three 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.     13.) Take 2x Adhesive Squares and stick them to the back of the Micro Expansion Board. Mount the expansion board inside this space in the following position.   Neaten up excess cables by twisting the micro bit light cables into a neat bunch. Ensure the cables are pulled up so they are not dangling down over the back wheel. Reconnect the two back sections as shown below     14.) Take a 5cm Connecting Cable and connect it to a spare port on the 6-Port Expansion Board at the front of the bike. Thread the other end of the connecting cable behind the black technic flat bar, then connect it to the IN port (+5V) of the RGB Control Board.   Take a RGB Connecting Cable 15cm and connect it to one of the OUT ports on the RGB Control Board. Leave the other end of the cable as is for now as we will connect this to the RGB Strip Lights later on   Take 2x Adhesive Squares and stick them to the back of the 6-Port Expansion Board. Slide the expansion board inside the gap just above the light grey motor section and stick them to the black bricks as shown below.     15.) Group the two micro bit light cables from the rear indicator lights as well as the 30cm connecting cable and pull them back toward the front of the bike. Secure the cables by reconnecting the black section just above the bike chain (section we disconnected back in step 8)   Neaten up the excess cables from the three cables by twisting and folding them around each other into a neat bunch, then tuck this neat bunch inside the bike just above the motor section as shown below:   Take 2x Adhesive Squares and stick them on the back of the RGB Control Board in the below positions.   With the IR Sensor on the bottom, stick the RGB Control Board to the following position behind the front wheel. Ensure the board is stuck to the flat side of the black pieces.     16.) Bring the other end of the RGB Connecting Cable out the left side of the bike and thread it behind the black flat bar. Pull the cable all the way out then loop it around the bottom of the black flat bar a few times to eliminate excess cable. When you get to the 3rd of 4th loop, secure the cable by looping it into a knot.   Connect the RGB Connecting Cable to a RGB Strip Light. Take a new RGB Connecting Cable 15cm and connect it to the strip light’s other port.   Thread the other end of the RGB Connecting Cable through the following space, then turn the bike around to the right side and pull the cable all the way out..   Using it’s adhesive backing, stick the strip light inside the space in the bottom of the motor, ensuring the strip light is facing the centre as shown below:     17.)  Controlling the RGB Strip Lights Use the provided RGB Remote Control to control the RGB Strip Lights in the engine section of the Harley Davidson. Prior to using it, ensure you remove the plastic tag to activate the batteries inside.   By default the RGB lights are turned off even when the other lights have been turned on. To control the RGB lights, point the front of the remote control directly toward the RGB Control Board (we mounted at the behind the front wheel) and turn the lights on via the ON button. Choose your desired colour by pressing any of the coloured buttons. You can also control the brightness as well as choose from one of the following effects:
  • Flash – Flash effect on your chosen colour
  • Strobe – Will flash quickly while cycling through all the colours
  • Fade – Will cycle through all the colours 3 seconds at each colour
  • Smooth – Will cycle through all the colours 7 seconds at each colour
    18.) Turn the bike around to the right side again and thread the other end of the Connecting Cable behind the light grey and black sections. Pull the gear pedal section down, then loop the cable around the bottom of the black bar as shown below.   Bring the cable up the right side of the black bar, then loop the cable around the top of the black bar.   Push back the gear pedal section back up.     19.) Disconnect the fuel tank section, then connect the cable to a new RGB Strip Light. Take another RGB Connecting Cable 15cm and connect it to the strip light’s other port.   Using it’s adhesive backing, follow the images below to stick the strip light inside this section so that it shines directly down on the motor. Because of the flexibility of the strip light, you can stick it onto the two diagonal edges above.     20.) Thread the other end of the RGB connecting Cable through the following space above the back side of the motor, then turn the bike around to the left side and pull the cable all the way out. Connect the cable to a new RGB Strip Light   Connect the remaining RGB Connecting Cable 15cm to the strip light’s other port, then thread the cable through the following space just above the bike chain cover. Turn the bike around to the right side  and pull the cable out as shown below   Using it’s adhesive backing, stick the strip light inside the following space, ensuring the light is facing the motor.   Turn ON the RGB lights via the remote control to test they are all working OK.     21.) Secure the excess cable from the 15cm cable by laying it around the black motor section as shown below, then reconnect the fuel tank sections on both left and right sides of the motorbike   Turn the bike around to the right side and thread the connecting cable down behind the two exhaust pipes. Pull the cable all the way down then place the bike onto it’s left side so we can access underneath the bike.   Bring the cable down behind pieces, then bring it around the black handle bar on the right side. Loop the cable around this bar 3 times before tying a knot to lock the cable in place.     22.) Connect the cable to the remaining RGB Strip Light, then using it’s adhesive backing, stick the strip light underneath the bike in the following position. Tuck the excess cable up the space to the right, then turn the Harley back over and test all lights are working OK.

Installing Bit Lights under LEGO® bricks and plates.

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

 

OK, Let’s Begin!

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

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

Connecting cable connectors to Strip Lights

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

Installing Bit Lights under LEGO® bricks and plates.

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

 

OK, Let’s Begin!

  1.) We will first install lights to the cockpit. Start by disconnecting the roof section on each side, then disconnect the following middle sections as shown below:   Disassemble the middle section as shown below, then take the red and trans dark clear pieces.     2.) Take 2x Cool White 30cm Bit Lights and with the cables facing the right side, place both of them over the studs of the red plate. Secure them in place by reconnecting the trans dark clear plates over the top. The 2 LEDs should fit nicely inside the studs of the trans dark clear plates.   Reconnect the following section on top, then flip it over and push the cables down into the corner before reconnecting it to the two white arch bricks. Lay the two cables down the middle in between studs before reconnecting the right section over the top of the cables.   Flip this section over and ensure both cables are tucked in between white bricks, then flip it back over and reconnect the middle section on top.     3.) Take a new Cool White 30cm Bit Light and using an Adhesive Square, stick it underneath the middle section in the below position with cable facing the back.   Slip the Bit Light Cable in between the two centre arched bricks, then lay it out toward the back before reconnecting the grey 2×3 plate over the top of the cables. Ensure the cable is laid in between studs.     4.) Connect the cables from the three bit lights we have just installed to a 6-Port Expansion Board. Take your USB Power Cable and connect it to the expansion board. Connect the USB end to a USB Power Bank (sold separately) and turn it ON to test the lights are working OK.   Note: If you experience any issues with the lights not working and suspect an issue with a component, please try a different port on the expansion board to verify where the fault lies (with the light or expansion board). To correct any issues with expansion board ports, please view the section addressing expansion board issues on our online troubleshooting guide.   Disconnect the USB Power Cable from the expansion board, then reconnect the middle section back to the front of the ship. Neaten up the wiring and eliminate excess cable from the Bit Lights by grouping them together and twisting/folding them together into a neat bunch as shown below. Place the expansion board in to the middle section behind.     5.) Remove cabin roof as well upper cannon section, then take a 15cm Connecting Cable and connect it to the 6-Port Expansion Board.   Bring the other end of the 15cm Connecting Cable toward the back, then slip it in between the middle and side sections as shown below.   Disconnect the following white square plate and lay the cable in between studs underneath, before reconnecting the square plate over the top.     6.) Open the lower compartment, then bring the cable out the side to connect to the first port on a 12-Port Expansion Board   Reconnect the USB Power Cable to the last port on the 12-Port Expansion Board and connect up the USB Power Bank to test the cockpit lights are working OK.   Note: If you experience any issues with the lights not working and suspect an issue with a component, please try a different port on the expansion board to verify where the fault lies (with the light or expansion board). To correct any issues with expansion board ports, please view the section addressing expansion board issues on our online troubleshooting guide.   Reconnect the middle section behind the cockpit, as well as the two front side sections.   7.) Take a 5cm Connecting Cable and connect it to the 12-Port Expansion Board, connect the other end of the cable to the IN (+5V) port on the Gun Effects Board (G3FX V1).   Place the Tantive IV onto it’s side to allow us to disconnect the lower cannon section, then disassemble this section as shown below:     8.) Take a Red 30cm Bit Light and thread the connector end of the cable all the way through the top of one of the grey cone pieces. Carefully bend the Bit Light so that the LED sits flat against the top of the cone piece, then reconnect grey bar at the bottom before reconnecting it back to the cannon base. Ensure the cable is facing toward the middle.   Repeat this step to install another Red 30cm Bit Light to the other cannon.     9.) Turn the cannon section over to the top side and bring both cables down toward the back before reconnecting it back to the white round brick.   Thread the two cables through the lower compartment of the ship before reconnecting the lower cannons underneath. Flip the ship back over and connect the two bit light cables to OUT ports 3 and 4 of the Gun Effects Board.   The Gun Effects Board has 3 different gun effects, which can be configured via the 3-way switch. The effect used in the product video example is the Cannon (blaster) effect which can be set by flicking the switch to the far right. Turn your USB Power Bank ON and choose your desired effect. Watch the lower cannons fire away. Alternatively, you can set your desired gun effect via flicking to any of the other switch settings.   Note: If you experience any issues with the lights not working and suspect an issue with a component, please try a different port on the expansion board to verify where the fault lies (with the light or expansion board). To correct any issues with expansion board ports, please view the section addressing expansion board issues on our online troubleshooting guide.     10.) We will now install the upper cannon lights. Take the upper cannon section and disconnect the top as shown below, then disconnect the two cone pieces.   Using the same method used for the lower cannons, install another 2x Red 30cm Bit Lights to the upper cannons.     11.) Take the bottom section of the upper cannons and disconnect the back   Turn the cannons over and bring both cables down the middle before reconnecting back to the bottom section. Ensuring both cables are laid down the middle and in between studs, reconnect the back section.     12.) Reconnect the upper cannon section to the top of the ship, then lay the two bit light cables down behind to connect to OUT ports 1 and 2 on the Gun Effects Board. Turn the USB Power Bank ON to test both upper and lower cannons are working OK.   Note: If you experience any issues with the lights not working and suspect an issue with a component, please try a different port on the expansion board to verify where the fault lies (with the light or expansion board). To correct any issues with expansion board ports, please view the section addressing expansion board issues on our online troubleshooting guide.   Neaten up excess cables from the Red Bit Lights by grouping them together and twisting/folding them into a neat bunch as shown below:     13.) We will now install lights to the inside of the cabin area. First disconnect the corner table, then disconnect the black plate with bar from underneath. Take a Cool White 30cm Bit Light and with the cable facing the back, stick it underneath the table in the following position using an Adhesive Square. Reconnect the black plate with bar over the top of the cable, then turn the table over and reconnect it to the cabin area.   Turn the Tantive over to the other side and open up the lower compartment. Thread the other end of the Bit Light cable through the following hole of the white technic brick underneath. Thread the cable all the way through to the other side, then turn the Tantive back around and pull the cable all the way out. Connect the Bit Light to the next port on the 12-Port Expansion Board. Turn ON the USB Power Bank to test the light under the table is working OK.   Note: If you experience any issues with the lights not working and suspect an issue with a component, please try a different port on the expansion board to verify where the fault lies (with the light or expansion board). To correct any issues with expansion board ports, please view the section addressing expansion board issues on our online troubleshooting guide.     14.) We will now install some lights to the top section of the cabin. First disconnect the wall section behind the upper cannons, then remove the plates above and underneath the two white angled bricks.   Take 2x Cool White 30cm Bit Lights and with the cables facing behind, place them over the studs of the angled white bricks. Secure them in place by connecting a provided Trans Clear Plate 1×2 over the top. Reconnect this section to the front of the cabin area and then run the cables down behind the wall. Pull out the corner wall section, then bring the cables underneath to connect them to the next available ports on the 12-Port Expansion Board. Turn the USB Power Bank ON to test the lights are working OK.   Note: If you experience any issues with the lights not working and suspect an issue with a component, please try a different port on the expansion board to verify where the fault lies (with the light or expansion board). To correct any issues with expansion board ports, please view the section addressing expansion board issues on our online troubleshooting guide.     15.) Take the Negative side of the Wireless Power Connector (flat tile) and with the cable facing the front (same way as the Bit Light Cables) connect it over the trans clear plate. Run the cable down behind the wall, then underneath to connect it to the next port on the 12-Port Expansion Board.   Neaten up cabling running down the side by tucking them into the corner, then secure them to the wall using tape. Fold in the corner wall section to secure down all the cables.     16.) We will now install some flashing red lights to the back of the cabin floors.  In order to get to them, follow the below images to disconnect the following sections:   Disconnect the white 1×2 bricks with trans red round plate underneath them from each side. Disconnect the trans red round plates from underneath     17.) Take a Flashing Red 30cm Bit Light and with the cable facing toward the back, place it over the corner stud on the floor of the cabin. Secure the Bit Light in place by reconnecting one of the trans red round plates over the top. Repeat this step to install another Flashing Red 30cm Bit Light to the other side of the cabin floor.   Take the bit light cable from the left side (closest to you) and connect it to the 12-Port Expansion Board.   18.) Turn the Tantive IV over onto it’s left side (pull towards you) and take the bit light cable from the right side and thread it all the way through the following hole of the white technic brick underneath.   Turn the Tantive IV over onto it’s right side and pull the cable all the way out from underneath. Connect the bit light cable to the next available port on the 12-Port Expansion Board.   Turn the USB Power Bank ON to test the flashing red lights on the cabin floor are working OK.   Note: If you experience any issues with the lights not working and suspect an issue with a component, please try a different port on the expansion board to verify where the fault lies (with the light or expansion board). To correct any issues with expansion board ports, please view the section addressing expansion board issues on our online troubleshooting guide.     19.) Take a 30cm Connecting Cable and connect it to the 12-Port Expansion Board. Pull the other end of the cable up in to the cabin, then thread it through the middle section behind, toward the back of the ship. Lay the cable in between studs as shown below before reconnecting one of the white 1×2 bricks over the top. Secure down the white plate on top to close up all gaps.   Reconnect all the sections to the cabin floor which we removed earlier.     20.) We will now neaten up all the messy cables underneath the cabin. Twist and fold the cables into two neat bunches and ensure the bunches are thin, as shown below   Disconnect the lower compartment section, then push the two bunches of cables on the right all the way into the technic brick holes as per below:   Lay the larger bunch of cables (left) from the cannon lights across the middle, toward the back, then place the Gun Effects Board flat up against underneath the cabin floor plate. Place the 12-Port Expansion Board upside down underneath the cabin floor plate (with flat side out). The expansion board should be sitting nicely in between the cabin floor plate and the grey clips. Reconnect the lower compartment section and fold it up to secure all the components and cables neatly inside.     21.)  Remove the spare laser pieces from behind, then disconnect the white 1×4 tile from the back. Lay the other end of the 30cm Connecting Cable inside before reconnecting the white tile over the top. Replace the spare laser pieces.     22.) Take the cabin roof section and disconnect the following dishes before disconnecting each side as shown below:   Disconnect the following pieces from the left section, then take a Cool White 30cm Bit Light and with the cable facing back, place it over the following stud. Secure the Bit Light in place by connecting a provided Trans Clear Round Plate 1×1 over the top.   With the cable laid in between studs, reconnect the sections we removed earlier, then reconnect this left section to the middle.     23.) Take the right section and disconnect the following pieces. Ensuring the cable is facing down, install another Cool White 30cm Bit Light, securing it in place with another provided Trans Clear Round Plate 1×1. Reconnect sections we removed earlier, then reconnect the right section to the middle.     24.) Turn the cabin roof over and connect the two bit light cables to a new 6-Port Expansion Board.   Take the Positive side of the Wireless Power Connector (1×2 plate side) and fold the cable across the top of the plate, in between studs. Connect it to underneath the cabin roof in the below position (with the cable facing inside), then connect the cable to the 6-Port Expansion Board.   Test the wireless power connection by taking the Cabin Roof and connecting it directly on top of the cabin. Ensure the two wireless connectors connect with each other. Turn the USB Power Bank ON and the lights on the cabin roof should illuminate.   Troubleshooting: If the roof lights do not turn ON, check that the wireless power connector cables are correctly connected into the expansion board ports. Ensure both wireless connector positive and negative are in line with each other and that the wireless power connector cables are facing the same way.   Remove the cabin roof again and turn it over. Neaten up the cables by folding and twisting them around each other into a neat bunch. Lay the expansion board and bunched up cables along the middle just above the black plate. Fold the two side sections in, which will secure the cables and expansion board in place. Securely reconnect the cabin roof over the cabin.     25.) We will now install some lights to the side of the Tantive IV, first remove the following sections from each side by pulling them out as shown below.   Turn the ship onto it’s side so we can access underneath and disconnect the technic pin from the bottom of the black technic brick. Turn the ship over and completely remove the radar section by pulling it all the way out.   Continue to disconnect the following pieces on top of the ship.     26.) Take the two side sections we removed earlier and disconnect the front plate from each one.   Take a Cool White 30cm Bit Light and thread the connector end of the cable through the + hole on the front plate from the left section. Pull the cable all the way out from the other side until you can neatly place the Bit Light over the white stud in between the grey pieces. Secure the Bit Light in place by connecting a provided Trans Clear Round Plate 1×1 over the top.   Take the back section from behind and thread the Bit Light cable through top space. Thread the cable through this section and out the middle hole of the red technic brick. Pull the cable all the way out from underneath, then securely reconnect the front plate.   Repeat this step to install another Cool White 30cm Bit Light to the front plate for the right section, securing it in place using another provided Trans Clear Round Plate 1×1. Thread the cable through the top space and out the middle hole of the red technic brick underneath before reconnecting the front plate.     27.) Take the left section and thread the cable through the back of the middle section and underneath the red and yellow technic pieces. Pull the cable all the way out from the front side, then securely reconnect the left section to the side of the ship.   Repeat this step to reconnect the right side section.   Ensure both cables are neatly pulled over and laid in between studs.     28.) Connect the two Cool White Bit Lights as well as the 30cm Connecting Cable from the front side to a new 6-Port Expansion Board. Neaten up the cables by twisting and folding them around each other to form a neat bunch     Take a 5cm Connecting Cable and connect it to the 6-Port Expansion Board. Thread the other end of the cable toward the back, underneath the red and yellow technic bricks, then connect it to the IN port on the Multi Effects Board (side with one port).   Reconnect the white 1×4 tile to the front side of this section as well as the roof of the spare laser section.     29.) We will now install lights to the back jets starting with the bottom jets. Turn the Tantive IV over and disconnect the four jets from the bottom by disconnecting them at the technic pins.   Turn the jet sections over, then remove the barrel sections from each jet. Disassemble the left one as shown below:     30.) Take a White 30cm Bit Light and thread the connector side of the cable through the bottom of the grey round 2×2 plate. Pull the cable all the way out from the other side, then carefully bend the Bit Light on a 90 degree angle so that it sits flat against the edge of the middle hole. Secure the Bit Light in place by reconnecting the trans orange 2×2 rounded plate.   Reconnect the technic bar to the other side of the grey round 2×2 plate, then thread the Bit Light cable through one of the holes in the technic barrel. Pull the cable all the way out from the other side, then reconnect the technic bar ensuring the cable is facing the inside as shown below (toward the middle): Note – Because the LED is installed, it will prevent you from being able to completely push in the technic bar. Do not forcefully push the technic bar all the way in. Doing so will damage the Bit Light.      31.) Repeat previous step to install another 3x White 30cm Bit Lights to each of the remaining bottom jets.     32.) Secure the cable for the far left jet and the far right jet underneath the following sections in the middle.   Turn the Tantive IV back over and disconnect the four upper jet sections from the top of the ship.     33.) Turn the Tantive IV back over to the bottom side and reconnect the far right jet. Thread the Bit Light cable through the top of the following space toward the left of it, then pull the cable all the way out from underneath.   Take the middle jet to the left, and while ensuring the cable is laid up the middle toward the front, reconnect the jet. Thread the Bit Light cable through the same space we threaded the right jet light through, then pull the cable all the way out from underneath.     34.) Repeat the previous step to reconnect the remaining two bottom jets, while threading each of their Bit Light cables through the following space, and pulling them all the way out from underneath.     35.) Turn the Tantive IV back over to the top side and connect the four Bit Light cables from the bottom four jets to a 6-Port Expansion Board.   Take a 15cm Connecting Cable and connect it to the same 6-Port Expansion Board. Take the other end of the cable and thread it through the following space which leads into the middle area where we left the Multi Effects Board. Pull the cable out from the other side and connect it to one of the OUT ports on the Multi Effects Board.   Turn the USB Power Bank ON and configure the rear jets effect by flicking the switch on the Multi Effects Board to the far right for the “Flicker Effect”. Adjust the speed of the flicker by turning the speed wheel. Alternatively you can choose your desired effect by flicking the switch to either the “Pulse” or “Emergency” effect.   Note: If you experience any issues with the lights not working and suspect an issue with a component, please try a different port on the expansion board to verify where the fault lies (with the light or expansion board). To correct any issues with expansion board ports, please view the section addressing expansion board issues on our online troubleshooting guide.     36.) Neaten up the cables from the bottom four jets by folding and twisting them around each other into a neat bunch as shown below:   Use 2x Adhesive Squares to mount the 6-Port Expansion Board to back of the Tantive IV in the following position, then tuck the bunched up cables inside the following space.     37.)

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.) Lift up the headlight covers and remove the two headlight sections as shown below.   Take the left headlight and disconnect the trans clear round plates then take a White 15cm Bit Light and with the cable facing down, place it over the top left stud as shown below, with the cable laid in between studs. Secure it in place by reconnecting one of the trans clear round plates over the top.     2.) Take another White 15cm Bit Light and using the same method as in previous step, install it to the top right stud.   Install another 2x White 15cm Bit Lights to the two bottom studs as shown below:     3.) Bring the four Bit Light cables together at the bottom of the headlight section, then twist/wind them around each other 2-3 times to secure the cables together. Ensure you hold the headlights in between your thumb and index finger when twisting the cables to prevent the trans round plates from popping off.     4.) Repeat the above steps to install 4x White 15cm Bit Lights to the right headlight section.     5.) Take the 12-Port Expansion Board and connect all the lights from the two headlight sections to it. Take your AA Battery Pack and insert 3x new AA Batteries to it. Connect the battery pack cable to the expansion board, then turn it ON to test the 8 lights from the headlights are working OK.   Note: If you experience any issues with the lights not working and suspect an issue with a component, please try a different port on the expansion board to verify where the fault lies (with the light or expansion board). To correct any issues with expansion board ports, please view the section addressing expansion board issues on our online troubleshooting guide.   Disconnect the lights and battery pack from the expansion board, then continue to twist wind the cables from each headlight around each other so that the four cables from each headlight become one larger cable.     6.) Take the left headlight section and feed the cables through the space behind it (over the black horizontal technic bar) before securely reconnecting the headlight in place.   Repeat this step to reconnect the right headlight section.     7.) Turn the car over and pull both groups of cables out. Connect the right group of cables to the 12-Port Expansion Board, then feed the expansion board underneath the following middle section. Pull the expansion board out from the other side, then reconnect the left group of cables to it.   Reconnect the AA Battery Pack to the expansion board and turn it ON to test the headlights are all working OK.   Note: If you experience any issues with the lights not working and suspect an issue with a component, please try a different port on the expansion board to verify where the fault lies (with the light or expansion board).

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

Important things to note:

Laying cables in between and underneath bricks

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

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

Connecting cable connectors to Expansion Boards

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

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

Connecting cable connectors to Strip Lights

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

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 install lights to the bottom rocket first. Start by disconnecting the bottom jet sections followed by the tail pieces as per below:

 

 

2.) Using the LEGO Removal tool, disconnect the following wall section from the bottom as shown below


Carefully press down at the following position to allow you to completely pull this section out.

 

3.) Repeat previous step to remove the wall section to the right

 

 

4.)Remove the section in the middle by lifting out sections using your finger as well as using the LEGO removal tool

 

5.) Use the LEGO Removal tool to disconnect the following sections to then allow us to remove the internal white wall section as well as the red pieces above and underneath

 

6.) Take the 5 jet sections and starting with one, disconnect the bottom half then take a White 30cm Bit Lightand thread the connector side of the cable down through the centre of the top of the jet (trans orange piece). Thread it all the way through until the Bit Light is right up against the edge of the trans orange piece.


Slightly bend the Bit Light on a 90 degree angle so that it sits flat, then secure it in place by connecting one of the provided Trans Orange Round Plate 1×1over the top


Reconnect the top half of the jet section back to the bottom half ensuring the cable from the Bit Light is tucked neatly underneath the dark grey bars.

Take caution when reconnecting to the bottom half and ensure there is enough cable slack between the jet section and bottom half for the technic bar to push against the cable as the two sections reconnect. If there is not enough cable slack, the technic bar will push the cable out and snap the cable.

 


7.)
Repeat previous step to install White 30cm Bit Lights to the other four Jet sections using more of the provided Trans Orange Round Plate 1×1

 

 

8.) Reconnect the bottom three jet sections back to the base of the rocket starting with the one in the centre. Ensure the cable from each jet light is laid toward the top centre as shown below:


9.)
 Take the wall section closest to the bottom and then reconnect this to the ship starting with the top part.


10.) 
Reconnect the Jet section that connects to the bottom of the wall section we just reconnected ensuring all cables are neatly laid towards the centre.

Flip the rocket over and then reconnect the remaining wall section by first reconnecting the top part then reconnect the remaining Jet section.

 

11.) Take 1x Flicker Effects Board and connect the two shortest Bit Light Cables to the OUT ports (There are 3 OUT ports in total).

12.) Take remaining three Bit Light cables and connect them to a 6-Port Expansion Board


13.) 
Take a 5cm Connecting Cable and connect one end to the 6-port Expansion Board and connect the other end to the remaining OUT port on the Flicker Effects Board.


14.) 
Take a Flat Battery Pack and insert 2x CR2032 Batteries to it and then connect the battery pack cable to the IN Port on the Flicker Effects Board

Turn the Battery Pack on and confirm all lights and effects 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.)  Eliminate excess cabling by grouping all the cables and twisting them around each other. Tuck everything in to the open middle section.


Reconnect remaining sections of the Rocket.


To turn On and OFF the lights, simply detach the middle section to access the Battery Pack.

16.) We will now proceed to lighting the middle section of the Saturn V. Using the LEGO Removal Tool, disconnect the following sections (two main and one centre section).

17.) Remove the internal walls

18.) Disconnect the five Jet sections

19.)Disassemble one of the Jets and then take a White 30cm Bit Light and then thread the connector side through the top of outer section. Thread it all the way through until the component is right up against the edge.


Carefully bend the Bit Light 90 degrees so that it now sits flat against the hole then secure it in place by reconnecting the Trans Orange Round Plate

Thread the cable through the piece that connects behind and then carefully reconnect the white bar securing all pieces together.

Take caution when reconnecting to the white bar and ensure there is enough cable slack between the jet section and white bar for the bar to push against the cable as the two pieces reconnect. If there is not enough cable slack, the white bar will push the cable out and snap the cable.

20.) Repeat previous step to install White 30cm Bit Lights to the other four Jet sections.

21.)Reconnect the five Jet sections to the base starting with the bottom ones, ensuring the cables for each light is laid neatly up the centre as shown below

22.) Turn the section over on it’s side and then pull all the cables up to the top section. Reconnect the bottom inside wall section to secure the cables in place.


23.)
 Take the the shortest two cables and connect them to the OUT ports on Flicker Effects Board


24.)
Connect the remaining three cables to a 6-Port Expansion Board 

Connect one end of a 5cm Connecting Cable to the 6-port Expansion Board and connect the other end to the remaining OUT port on the Flicker Effects Board


25.)
 Take a Flat Battery Pack and insert 2x CR2032 Batteries to it then connect the battery pack cable to the IN Port on the Flicker Effects Board. Turn the Battery Pack on and confirm all lights and effects 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.

 


26.)
Eliminate excess cabling by grouping all the cables and twisting them around each other. Tuck everything inside the open top section.


27.)
Reconnect the outside sections starting with the two main sections followed by the middle section

To turn On and OFF the lights, simply detach the middle section (from the bottom where you the cables are visible) to access the Battery Pack.


This completes installation of the lights to the middle section of the Saturn V. Let’s move on to the top and final section.


28.) Take the top section and disconnect one of the outside wall sections using the LEGO Removal Tool


Remove the outside wall section underneath


29.) Disconnect the bottom section to allow us to then remove the following dark grey round bricks in the centre.


30.) Reconnect the bottom section as well as one of the outside wall sections


31.) Disconnect the Jet section and then disassemble pieces as shown below:


32.) Follow Step 19 to install the remaining White 30cm Bit Light to this Jet section using the provided Trans Orange Round Plate 1×1. 

Take caution when reconnecting to the white bar and ensure there is enough cable slack between the jet section and white bar for the bar to push against the cable as the two pieces reconnect. If there is not enough cable slack, the white bar will push the cable out and snap the cable.


33.) Pull the cable around the bottom of the Jet and then secure it in between the light grey dish and dark grey modified brick.


34.) Reconnect the Jet section back to the bottom of this rocket section ensuring the cable is facing toward the centre of the open section above.


Lay the cable underneath the following LEGO pieces in between studs.


35.) Connect the other end of the Bit Light cable to any OUT port on the remaining Flicker Effects Board


Take the remaining Flat Battery Pack and insert 2x CR2032 Batteries to it. Connect the battery pack cable to the IN port on the Flicker Effects 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.) We will first install headlights to the Mack Anthem. Remove the cargo trailer and then disconnect the following headlight sections from each side.   Disassemble the right headlight section as shown below:   2.) Take 2x Cool White 30cm Bit Lights and position one approximately 1 cm above the other with both LEDs facing up. Place the Bit Lights over the right studs of the right headlight as shown below:   Secure the two lights in place by reconnecting the trans clear 1×2 plate over the top. Ensure both Bit Lights are comfortably siting in the inside of each trans clear stud.   Take another 2x Cool White 30cm Bit Lights and position them together the same way as we did the previous two bit lights. Place them over the top of the two left studs of the headlight section as shown below and then secure them in place by reconnecting the trans orange 1×2 plate over the top. Ensure both Bit Lights are comfortably siting in the inside of each trans orange stud.   3.) Turn the right headlight section over so the trans coloured plates are facing the back. Bring the two right cables over to the front and then secure them underneath the two curved pieces as shown below:   Bring the two left cables down and press them down along the edge of the curved pieces.   4.) Turn the headlight section over to the front side then take a White 30cm Bit Light and with the cable facing the back, place it over the right stud as shown below then secure the Bit Light in place by reconnecting the trans orange triangular piece over the top   Repeat this step to install another White 30cm Bit Light to the left stud.   Reconnect the two trans black 1×2 tiles to the front of the headlight section.   5.) Repeat previous steps to install another 4x Cool White 30cm Bit Lights to the front of the left headlight section and 2x White 30cm Bit Lights to the top.   6.) Test all the lights installed so far are working OK by connecting all six cables from each headlight to an 8-port Expansion Board. Take the AA Battery Pack and insert 3x AA batteries to it, then connect the battery pack cable to the expansion board. Turn the battery pack ON to verify all lights are working OK. Repeat this step to test the lights for the other headlight section are working OK.   From the back of one of the headlight section, take all six cables and twist/wind them around each other a few times. Continue to twist the cables around each other all the way to the end, so they all come together forming one larger cable. Repeat this step for the other headlight section.   7.) Take the right headlight section and feed the cable through the following gap, then reconnect the headlight  back to the front of the truck.   Flip the truck onto it’s side left side, then bring the cable over behind the wheel.   Thread the cable through the following space, then pull it out from the other side as shown below:   Follow the below images to thread the cable through the  holes of the technic piece, then pull it out from the other side.   Take an 8-Port Expansion Board and connect all six cables to it.   8.) Flip the truck back over and repeat previous steps to reconnect the left headlight section and thread the cable underneath the truck.   Take another 8-Port Expansion Board and connect all six cables from this headlight section to it.   9.) Take a 5cm Connecting Cable and connect one end to one of the expansion boards, then connect the other end to the other expansion board.   Connect the AA Battery Pack cable to one of the expansion boards and turn it ON to verify all lights are working OK.   Disconnect the Battery Pack, then take 4x Adhesive Squares and stick two on the back of each expansion board.   Mount both expansion boards in the following positions underneath the truck then neatly press up all the cables so they are not dangling down.   Test that the engine bonnet can open all the way, and close easily. The cables from the bit lights should move back and forth comfortably as the bonnet opens and closes.   10.) Flip the truck over again so we can access underneath. Take a 15cm Connecting Cable and connect one end of the cable to one of the expansion board’s spare ports. Thread the other end of the cable up the following space and through the hole of the technic plate. Pull the cable all the way up from the other side and connect it to the end port of a 12-port Expansion Board.   11.) We will now install lights above the front window. First disconnect this light section by using your finger to push it up each side so that it completely disconnects.   Disconnect the roof by pulling back the following sections so that each side disconnects, then lift the entire roof back as per below:   12.) Take the light section and disconnect the two sections, then disassemble the left side as shown below:   Take a White 30cm Bit Light and with the cable facing down, place it over the left stud. Secure the Bit Light in place by reconnecting one of the trans orange plates over the top.   Using this same method, install another 2x White 30cm Bit Lights to this section. Reconnect the 1×4 tile over the top then reconnect this section back ensuring the cables are laid underneath and out toward the back.   13.) Disassemble the right section and then repeat the previous step to install another 2x White 30cm Bit Lights.   14.) Flip this light section over and then twist/wind all five cables around each other at the edge of the section. Continue to twist/wind the cables all the way to the end so they all come together to form one larger cable.   15.) Reconnect this light section back above the front window, then thread the large cable through the window and then up above the following space.   From the top of the truck, pull the cable all the way out, then thread the cable down the back through the following space as per below. Continue to push the cable all the way down so that we can see if peeping out from the bottom of the back of the truck.   Pull the cable all the way out and then connect all five cables to the 12-port expansion board.   Reconnect the roof.   Connect the AA Battery Pack cable to one of the spare ports on the expansion board, then turn it ON to verify all lights we have installed so far are working OK.   Disconnect the Battery Pack and proceed to the next step.   16.) We will now install lights along the sides of the truck. Starting with the right side, disconnect the following sections and pieces:   Take 2x provided Technic Pins 1/2 and connect them to where we disconnect the trans orange plates from.   Take a White 15cm Bit Light and thread the connector end of the cable down the holes of one of the technic pins we just connected. Thread it all the way through (ensuring it does not go through the second hole on the back of this section) then secure it in place by reconnecting the trans orange plate over the top this time, with the stud facing up.   17.) Install another White 15cm Bit Light to the left side, the same way we did for the right light.   Bring both cables across toward the back and connect them to the 12-port Expansion Board ensuring both cables are tucked in underneath.   Reconnect the panel section then connect the battery pack cable again and test the side lights are working OK.   18.) Turn the truck over the the left side and repeat previous steps to install another 2x White 15cm Bit Lights to this side using another provided 2x Technic Pins 1/2 Reconnect the Battery Pack Cable to a spare port and verify the left side lights are working OK.   19.) Neaten up cabling at the back by grouping the cables together and then twisting/winding/folding them around each other.   Take a 15cm Connecting Cable and connect one end to a spare port on the expansion board. Bring the other end of the cable down the right side and thread it down the following hole. Pull the cable all the way out from underneath.   Connect the other end of the cable to a 6-Port Expansion Board.   20.) Connect the Battery Pack cable to the expansion board and then flip the expansion board over so the cables are facing toward the inside. Tuck the expansion board into the gap (underneath light grey bars) then secure both battery pack cable and 15cm connecting cable underneath the bottom 2×8 technic plate (disconnect plate, lay cables down, reconnect plate over the top)                       Take 4x Adhesive Squares and stick them to the following studs, then stick down the AA Battery Pack ensuring the switch is facing the correct way up.   21.) We will now install the tail lights to the truck. Disconnect the following two bottom sections as well as the trans coloured tiles.   Take a White 15cm Bit Light and with the cable facing down, place it over the left stud. Secure the bit light in place by connecting a provided Trans Red Plate 1×1 over the top.   Take another White 15cm Bit Light and place it over the next stud along. Secure the bit light in place by connecting a provided Trans Clear Plate 1×1 over the top.   Install another White 15cm Bit Light to the remaining stud, securing it in place with another provided Trans Red Plate 1×1.   22.) Lay the cable from the right Bit Light down in between studs, then reconnect the black plate over the top. Thread the cables through the hole directly underneath each cable.   Ensure the first and second cable is neatly laid in between studs before reconnecting the registration plate over the top.   23.) Turn the truck over onto it’s side and then twist/wind the three cables around each other all the way to the end so they come together forming one larger cable.   Thread the cable through the space in between wheels and then pull it all the way out from the other side. Wedge the cable in between technic bricks as shown below (to lock the cable in place), then connect the three cables to the 6-port Expansion Board.   Turn ON the battery pack to test the tail lights are working OK.   24.) Take 2x Adhesive Squares and stick them to the back of the 6-port expansion board. Mount the expansion board underneath the truck in the following position. Ensure the expansion board is clear from the turning gears, then push the cable down and out of the way.   Flip the truck back over and turn ON the battery pack to ensure everything looks OK.   25.) We will now install tail lights to the cargo trailer. Turn the trailer around and disconnect the two tail light sections, then disassemble the left section as per below:   Take a White 15cm Bit Light and with the cable facing down, place it over the left stud of the black 1×3 plates. Secure the Bit Light in place by connecting a provided Trans Orange Plate 1×1 over the top.   Install another 2x White 15cm Bit Lights to this tail light section, securing them in place using a provided Trans Red Plate 1×1 and Trans Clear Plate 1×1.   26.) Flip this section over (lights facing down) and thread each cable through the holes of the three technic pins on the left side of the trailer. Thread the cables all the way through and then flip the tail light section around the correct way and reconnect the tail light section ensuring the cables are below.   Repeat previous steps to install another 3x White 15cm Bit Lights to the right tail light section securing them in place with another Trans Orange Plate 1×1, Trans Red Plate 1×1, and Trans Clear Plate 1×1. Reconnect the right tail light section back to the right side of the trailer, ensuring the cables are first threaded through the holes behind.   27.) Take the three cables from the left tail light and twist/wind them around each other all the way to the end so they come together forming one larger cable.   Thread the cable through the following hole underneath the trailer, then pull it all the way out from the other side and connect the three cables to a new 8-Port Expansion Board   28.) Turn the trailer over to the right side and repeat previous step to twist/wind the cables together and thread through the same hole underneath the truck (as we did for the left tail lights) to connect to the 8-port expansion board.   29.) Take a 50cm Connecting Cable and connect one end of the cable to the 8-port expansion board. Thread the other end of the cable through the following hole and pull it all the way out from the other side.   Thread the cable through the following space and then continue to thread the cable through the last space (where the red technic piece is) and pull it all the way out from the other side of the trailer.   30.) Eliminate excess cabling by bring the cable back down and re-threading it back through the last space we threaded the cable through.

Important things to note:

Laying cables in between and underneath bricks

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

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

Connecting cable connectors to Expansion Boards

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

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

Connecting cable connectors to Strip Lights

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

Installing Bit Lights under LEGO® bricks and plates.

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

 

OK, Let’s Begin!


 

1.) We will first install the headlights of the Aston Martin. Start by disconnecting the front sections that run along the side of the vehicle.

Disassemble the two sections as per below:   2.) Take a White 15cm Bit Light and place it directly over the stud of the grey piece. Secure the light in place by reconnecting the trans clear dish piece over the top. Ensure the cable is facing down with the clip behind it horizontal. Reconnect this headlight back to one of the long sections, ensuring the cable is facing down, then repeat this process to install another White 15cm Bit Light to the other headlight.   3.) Disconnect the following sections from the front of the vehicle and then disassemble the left section as per below:   4.) Take a White 15cm Bit Light and thread the connector end of the Bit Light through the front hole of the light grey brick. Thread the cable all the way through and then out the bottom of the brick. Secure the Bit Light in place by connecting a provided Trans Clear Round Plate 1×1 over the top. Reconnect the brick back to the rest of the section it was connected to ensuring the cable is facing the inside (toward the right). Repeat this process to install another White 15cm Bit Light to the other light section using another provided Trans Clear Round Plate 1×1, this time ensuring the cable is facing toward the left.

                5.) Reconnect one of the light sections we just installed to the front of the car then thread the cable back behind the wheel as shown below. Repeat this process for the other light section.   6.) Reconnect the two long sections (headlights) ensuring you first thread the Bit Light cable behind the wheel as shown below: Pull the two light cables all the way out from underneath behind each front wheel.   7.) Take a 6-Port Expansion Board and connect all four Bit Light cables to it. Take the Flat Battery Pack and insert 2x CR2032 Batteries to it. Connect the battery pack cable to the expansion board and turn the battery pack ON to verify all the lights installed so far are working OK. Important Note: USB Power Cable has replaced Flat & Round Battery Packs (CR2032) as of June 2022 due to child safety regulations. Please use the USB Power Cable in place of the Battery Pack.   8.) Disconnect the Flat Battery Pack and connect a 30cm Connecting Cable to the expansion board.

              Take the other end of the connecting cable and thread it through the following technic brick holes underneath the vehicle to lead to the back.   9.) To neaten up cabling underneath and to also ensure we have enough cable slack to easily flick the bottom head lights up and down, flick the headlights down and then from underneath the vehicle, pull the cables down and tuck the 6-port expansion board up into the following space. Take the provided Plate 2×8 and then connect it over the top of the cables to prevent components and cabling from dropping down. Ensure the cables are laid in between studs before securing the plate down.               10.) Open the boot of the car and then use your finger to push up the rear wall. Thread the other end of the 30cm Connecting Cable (underneath the car) up the following space which leads to the back of the boot. Pull the cable all the way up from the other side and then push the rear wall of the boot back down to original position. Connect the cable to the far end port of the 12-Port Expansion Board               11.) Lift up the passenger roof section then place a finger/thumb underneath the roof to allow you to disconnect the main roof section as shown below:   12.) Turn the roof section over and then take a White 15cm Bit Light and place it over the following stud opening ensuring the LED is facing up. Secure the Bit Light in place by connecting a provided Trans Clear Plate with rounded bottom 2×2 over the top.   13.) Lift up the rear wall of the boot and then take the roof over the car. Thread the Bit Light cable down the following section that leads to the inside of the boot. Pull the cable out from the rear of the boot before securely reconnecting the roof. Connect the cable to the next available port on the 12-port expansion board then push down the rear wall of the boot. Take the Flat Battery Pack and connect it to the expansion board. Turn ON the battery pack to test the interior light is working OK. Disconnect the battery pack   14.)  We will now install the tail lights. First disconnect each tail light section as per below: Lift up the boot door and disconnect the following section from each side   15.) Take the left tail light section and disconnect the trans coloured pieces from it. Take a White 15cm Bit Light and carefully bend the Bit Light component on a 90 degree angle as shown below: Place the Bit Light inside the tail light section and then secure it in place by reconnecting the trans orange round plate over the top. Ensure the cable is facing the inside of the car (right side)   16.) Take another White 15cm Bit Light and thread the connector side of the cable through the hole of the blue technic stud. Thread it all the way through and then secure it in place by connecting a provided Trans Red Round Plate 1×1 over the top.   17.) Take another White 15cm Bit Light and with the cable facing inward, place it directly over the tan coloured technic stud. Secure it in place by connecting a provided Trans Clear Round Plate 1×1 over the top.   18.) Repeat previous steps to install another 3x White 15cm Bit Lights to the right tail light section using another provided Trans Red and Trans Clear round plate. Ensure you lay the cables toward the inside of the car (left side of the section)               19.) Take the left tail light section and reconnect it to the back of the car. Group the three Bit Light cables together and lay them down in between studs before reconnecting the section we removed earlier over the top. Connect the three cables to the 12-Port Expansion board.   20.) Repeat previous step to reconnect the right tail light section. Connect the three bit light cables to the right ports on the expansion board   21.) Neaten up excess cabling by grouping the three cables from each side and folding/twisting them around each other as shown below. Neatly tuck everything in toward the rear of the boot.   22.) Take the Flat Battery Pack and connect the battery pack cable to a spare port on the expansion board. Turn the battery pack ON to verify all tail lights are working OK then neatly place the battery pack in the boot of the car before closing the boot door. Important Note: USB Power Cable has replaced Flat, Round, and AA Battery Packs as of June 2022 due to child safety regulations. Please use the USB Power Cable in place of the Battery Pack. If you are using the USB Power Cable, you most likely will be unable to hide the power source. Therefore, you will need to run the cable out from the back.  

This finally completes installation of the Light My Bricks LEGO Aston Martin light kit.

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.
