Important things to note:

Laying cables in between and underneath bricks

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

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

Connecting cable connectors to Expansion Boards

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

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

Connecting cable connectors to Strip Lights

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

Connecting Micro Cable connectors to Micro Expansion Board Ports

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

Installing Bit Lights under LEGO® bricks and plates.

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

 

OK, Let’s Begin!

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

  Use your LEGO removal tool to disconnect the following pieces to allow us to remove the two panels that make up the entire left section of the ship.   Disconnect the Tantive via the trans clear clip     2.) We will now install seven lights along the side of the ship. Take a Cool White 30cm Bit Light and with the cable facing up, place it over the following stud near the front of the ship. Secure the Bit Light in place by connecting a provided Trans Clear Round Plate 1×1 over the top.   Bring the cable over towards the inside of the ship, then feed the cable underneath the following technic pieces.     3.) Take out another Cool White 30cm Bit Light and install it to the next stud down the side of the ship as shown below. Secure it in place with another provided Trans Clear Round Plate 1×1. Feed the cable underneath the technic pieces as we did for the previous bit light cable.     4.) Using the same method used in previous steps, install another 2x Cool White 30cm Bit Lights to the following studs along the side of the ship. Follow the images below to ensure you install the lights to the correct location. Secure them in place using 2x Trans Clear Round Plates 1×1. Once installed, lay the cables inside toward the first two Bit Light cables.     5.) Take a 12-Port Expansion Board and connect the four Bit Light Cables, then take a 50cm Connecting Cable connect it to another spare port on the 12-Port Expansion Board.   Bring the other end of the 50cm connecting cable toward the back of the ship and feed it underneath the large red technic plate sections going across the centre. Pull the cable out from the other side and connect it to a new 12-Port Expansion Board.     6.) We will now install another three lights to the side of the ship to the following positions.   First disconnect the following pieces, then install a Cool White 30cm Bit Light to the following stud, securing it in place using a provided Trans Clear Round Plate 1×1. Once installed, reconnect the pieces we removed earlier.   Connect the Bit Light to the second 12-Port Expansion Board towards the back of the ship.     7.) Install another 2x Cool White 30cm Bit Lights to the following positions, securing them in place using 2x Trans Clear Round Plates 1×1. Ensure you following the below images to correctly lay the cables underneath pieces, then connect both lights to the 12-Port Expansion Board in previous step.   Secure the last Bit Light cable underneath the following 2×4 tile. Disconnect it, lay the cable in between studs, then reconnect the tile over the top.     8.) Take a new 50cm Connecting Cable and connect it to a spare port on the first 12-Port Expansion Board toward the front of the ship. Thread the other end of the cable down the space behind the docking bay that leads down underneath the ship.   From underneath of the ship, pull the cable down and connect it to a 2-Port Expansion Board. Take your USB Power Cable and connect it to the other port. Connect the USB Connector side to a USB Power Bank or wall adaptor (sold separately) and turn it ON to test all the lights installed to the left side of the ship are working OK.   Note: If you experience any issues with the lights not working and suspect an issue with a component, please try a different port on the expansion board to verify where the fault lies (with the light or expansion board). To correct any issues with expansion board ports, please view the section addressing expansion board issues on our online troubleshooting guide.     9.) We will now install lights to the 4 laser cannon section on the left side. First disconnect and disassemble this section as shown below:   Take out a Green 15cm Micro Bit Light and carefully bend the LED component so that the side is facing the top. This will allow the LED to fit easily inside the canon hole.   Take one of the cannon pieces and carefully thread the Micro Bit Light’s LED all the way inside the hole.
Bend the cable down the outside of the cannon, then lay the cable directly over the the top of the stud as shown below. Reconnect this cannon to the inside of the 2×2 round tile. The cable should be secured underneath the stud.     10.) Using the same method used in previous step, install another Green 15cm Micro Bit Lights to another cannon piece, then secure the cable underneath the stud and reconnect it to the 2×2 round plate.     Ensure both cables are laid in between the spaces of the plate, then reconnect the 2×2 rounded bottom plate.     11.) Turn this section around then install another 2x Green 15cm Micro Bit Lights to the cannons on this side. Secure the cables underneath studs of the cannon pieces, then reconnect both of them as shown below.   Lay both cables in between the spaces towards the back of the round 2×2 plate, then reconnect the hinge ball section followed by the 2×2 rounded bottom plate.     12.) Tuck the four cables underneath the base of the cannon, then twist the four cables around each other all the way to the ends to form one larger cable.   Reconnect the cannon section back to to the side of the ship, then bring the cables inside the ship and connect them to a Micro 4-Port Expansion Board.     13.) Take a 15cm Connecting Cable and connect it to one of the larger ports on the Micro 4-Port Expansion Board. Connect the other end of the cable to the OUT port 1 on the Gun Effects Board.   Take another 15cm Connecting Cable and connect it to the IN port (+5V) on the Gun Effects Board. Connect the other end of this 15cm cable to a spare port on the 12-Port Expansion Board toward the back of the ship.   Turn your power ON to test the lights installed so far and to configure the Gun Effects Board. You can choose between 3 different shooting effects via the 3 way switch on the effects board. 1. Canon – 2 Fires – each channel firing at random rate 2. Machine Gun – Multiple fires simulating a machine gun – each channel firing at random rate 3. Laser Canon – 3 fires – each channel firing at random rate.     Note: If you experience any issues with the lights not working and suspect an issue with a component, please try a different port on the expansion board to verify where the fault lies (with the light, expansion board, or effects board). To correct any issues with expansion board ports, please view the section addressing expansion board issues on our online troubleshooting guide.     14.) Take a 30cm Connecting Cable and connect it to the other large port on the Micro 4-Port Expansion Board. Connect the other end of the cable to a large port on a new Micro 4-Port Expansion Board, then feed this micro expansion board underneath the technic pieces in the middle to bring it through to the other side.   Take a 15cm Connecting Cable and connect it to a spare port on the 12-Port Expansion Board on the back of the ship. Connect the other end of the cable to a new 12-Port Expansion Board, then feed the board underneath the technic pieces in the centre to bring it through to the other side.     15.) Carefully turn the ship around so we can install lights to the right side. First disconnect the 2×4 tile and 2×2 rounded bottom plate to allow us to disconnect the two top panel sections.     16.) We will now install seven lights to the right side of the ship. Use the same method used for the side lights on the left side to install the first 4x Cool White 30cm Bit Lights, securing them in place using the provided 4x Trans Clear Round Plates 1×1. Follow the below images carefully to modify certain sections and feed the cables underneath the middle to connect to the 12-port expansion board on the other side.   Turn ON the power to test the four lights installed to the right side are working OK.   Note: If you experience any issues with the lights not working and suspect an issue with a component, please try a different port on the expansion board to verify where the fault lies (with the light, expansion board, or effects board). To correct any issues with expansion board ports, please view the section addressing expansion board issues on our online troubleshooting guide.     17.) Use the same method used in the previous step to install the remaining 3x Cool White 30cm Bit Lights to the right side, securing them in place using the provided 3x Trans Clear Round Plates 1×1. Follow the below images carefully to modify certain sections and connect the bit lights to the 12-port expansion board toward the back of the ship that we brought over from the left side (step 14).   Secure the last Bit Light cable underneath the following 2×4 tile, then turn ON the power to test all the lights installed to the right side are working OK.   Note: If you experience any issues with the lights not working and suspect an issue with a component, please try a different port on the expansion board to verify where the fault lies (with the light, expansion board, or effects board). To correct any issues with expansion board ports, please view the section addressing expansion board issues on our online troubleshooting guide.     18.) It’s time to light up the laser cannons on the right side! Disconnect and disassemble this section as shown below:   Using the same method used to install the lights to the laser cannons on the left side of the ship, install 4x Green 15cm Micro Bit Lights to this laser cannon.   Tuck the four cables underneath the base of the cannon, then twist the four cables around each other all the way to the ends to form one larger cable.     19.) Reconnect the laser cannon section to the right side of the ship, then connect the Micro Bit Light cables to the spare Micro 4-Port Expansion Board that we brought over from the other side (Step 14.)   Turn the power ON to test the cannons on the right side of the ship are working OK. Because they are connected to the same channel as the cannons on the left side, they should be all firing together in sync.   Note: If you experience any issues with the lights not working and suspect an issue with a component, please try a different port on the expansion board to verify where the fault lies (with the light, expansion board, or effects board). To correct any issues with expansion board ports, please view the section addressing expansion board issues on our online troubleshooting guide.     20.) We will now light up the docking bay underneath the ship. First, we will need to disconnect the front bottom panel section on the right side. Disconnect the plate with handle from the very front of the ship, then disconnect the 2×2 rounded bottom plate securing the front and back panel together. Carefully disconnect the bottom panel via the technic rounded pins.   From the inside of the ship, locate and pull out the two orange technic pins that are securing the docking bay to the ship, then carefully remove the docking bay section by pulling it out from the bottom.     21.) Disconnect the Tie Fighter from the clip, then remove the grey mechanical piece and trans red round plate from it.   Take a Cool White 30cm Bit Light and bend the connector end of the cable into a hook as shown below. The hook will help us then thread the light through the Tie Fighter. Thread the connector side of the cable through the back of the Tie Fighter and out the bottom.   Before you completely pull the cable all the way out, carefully bend the Bit Light LED on a 90 degree angle so that it will face directly up and sit flat against the edge of the inside.   Reconnect the Trans Red round plate, then bring the cable up and secure it in between the right wing and centre brick as shown below:   Reconnect the mechanical clip piece, then reconnect the Tie Fighter to the docking bay. Caution – Do not forcefully push the mechanical clip piece all the way in or you may damage the Bit Light inside.     22.) Turn the docking bay around to the front and disconnect the following pieces from the middle.   Lay the Bit Light cable down in between studs as shown below, then secure it by reconnecting sections over the top.     23.) Take a Cool White 30cm Bit Light and bend the cable up on a 90 degree angle around 1cm from the LED. Ensuring the LED is facing forward, place it in between studs as shown below. Secure it in place by reconnecting the following wall section. If you look from the other side, you should see the LED peaking out to shine onto the docking bay.   Repeat this step to install another Cool White 30cm Bit Light to the other wall section. Reconnect the remaining section on top.     24.) Turn the docking bay around to the back and disconnect sections from the right corner as shown below:   Take a Flashing Red 30cm Bit Light and bend the cable up on a 90 degree angle around 1cm from the LED. Ensuring the LED is facing forward, place it in between studs as shown below. Secure it in place by reconnecting the corner pieces we removed earlier. If you look from the other side, you should see the LED peaking out in the corner to shine onto the docking bay     25.) Turn the docking bay over to the back left corner and install another Flashing Red 30cm Bit Light to this side.     26.) Place the Docking Bay onto it’s back so we can access underneath. Lay the top three cables down, then secure them underneath the blue 2×2 rounded bottom plates by first disconnecting them, laying the cables down, then reconnecting them over the top.   Secure the flashing red bit light cables by threading each one inside the gaps as shown below.   Connect all five cables to a 6-Port Expansion Board then take a 5cm Connecting Cable and connect it to the remaining port.       27.) Bring the docking bay underneath the Star Destroyer, then thread the expansion board through to the inside of the ship. Connect the other end of the 5cm Connecting Cable to the 12-port expansion board near the front..   Bring the docking bay up and reconnect it to the ship by pushing the orange technic pins in to secure everything into place.   Turn on the power to test the lights installed to the docking bay are working OK. Reposition the Tie Fighter as desired.   Note: If you experience any issues with the lights not working and suspect an issue with a component, please try a different port on the expansion board to verify where the fault lies (with the light, expansion board, or effects board). To correct any issues with expansion board ports, please view the section addressing expansion board issues on our online troubleshooting guide.     28.) Ensure all cables from the docking bay lights and side of the ship lights are neatly tucked in before reconnecting the bottom right panel to the ship.   Reconnect the 2×2 rounded bottom plate as well as the pieces that secure the front of the ship together.     29.) Carefully turn the ship around to the left side, then take the Tantive and disassemble sections from the back jets as shown below:   Take one of the jet sections of 4 and disassemble them, then take a White 30cm Micro Bit Light and place the LED inside the top of the white round brick. Flip the white round brick over and while ensuring the bit light is still inside, reconnect the white brick to the white 1×4 plate as shown below:   Repeat this step to install 3x White 30cm Micro Bit Lights to the jets on this section ensuring the cables are all facing the same way.   With the cables all facing up, reconnect this section to the of the bottom side of the Tantive.     30.) Take the middle jet section and disconnect the three jets. Using the same method as per previous step, install 3x White 30cm Micro Bit Lights to this section ensuring the cables are all laid the same way.   Ensuring the cables are all facing up, reconnect this middle section to the back of the Tantive, then bring the three cables toward the right and secure them down underneath the corner of the red tile.     31.) Disassemble the last jet section and install the remaining 4x White 30cm Micro Bit Lights ensuring the cables are all facing the same way.   Turn the jet section over so that the cables are underneath of it and laid to the right side, then reconnect this section to the back of the Tantive. Bring all the cables out the right side as shown below:     32.) Twist and wind all 11 cables around each other all the way to the ends to form one larger cable, then reassemble the Tantive and reconnect the trans clear bar underneath.     33.) Reconnect the Tantive to the side of the star destroyer, then wind the cables around the trans clear bar as shown below:   Partially disconnect the bottom panel via the blue piece as shown below, then thread the cables through the gap we just created. Pull the cables out from the inside of the ship.     Reconnect the bottom panel via the blue piece to secure the cables and close up the gap in between the bottom and middle section.     34.) Connect 4 out of the 11 micro bit light cables to a new Micro 4-Port Expansion Board, then connect a 5cm Connecting Cable to the large port. Connect the other end of the 5cm Connecting cable to one of the OUT ports on a Flicker Effects Board (FFX).   Connect the remaining 7 micro bit light cables to a Micro 8-Port Expansion Board, then connect a new 5cm Connecting Cable to the large port on the board. Connect the other end of the 5cm cable to a different OUT port on the Flicker Effects Board.   Take a 15cm Connecting Cable and connect it to the IN port on the Flicker Effects Board. Bring the other end of the 15cm cable over to the right and connect it to a spare port on the 12-Port Expansion Board toward the front of the ship.   Turn ON the power to test the lights for the Tantive are working and flickering OK.   Note: If you experience any issues with the lights not working and suspect an issue with a component, please try a different port on the expansion board to verify where the fault lies (with the light, expansion board, or effects board). To correct any issues with expansion board ports, please view the section addressing expansion board issues on our online troubleshooting guide.     35.) We now need to reposition the two expansion boards toward the back of the ship. Locate the two 12-Port Expansion boards toward the back and disconnect the 15cm Cable from the left side’s expansion board.   Pull the cable out from the right side of the ship, then re-thread the cable through a higher position above. Pull the cable back out from the left side, then bring the 12-port expansion board to a higher position to allow you to reconnect the cable to the next available port.   Reposition both 12-Port Expansion Boards to higher positions on the back of the ship as shown below:     36.) We will now install some lights to the tower and bridge. Follow the below images to disconnect the surrounding sections and pieces on top and on the sides.   Turn the ship around to the right side to continue to disconnect pieces and sections.     37.) Take a Cool White 30cm Bit Light and with the cable facing up, place it in between the following studs on the front of the tower. Secure the Bit Light in place by connecting a provided Trans Clear Tile 1×2 over the top. Lay the cable towards the inside of the tower and connect it to a new 6-Port Expansion Board.     38.) Turn the ship around to the left side and disconnect the wall panel section on the left, as well as the middle section along the back. Disconnect the yellow angled brick underneath.   Take a Cool White 30cm Bit Light and with the LED facing down, place it slightly over the edge of the grey plate underneath the yellow angled brick we removed. Ensuring the cable is laid in between studs, secure the Bit Light in place by reconnecting the yellow brick.   If you look from underneath, you should see the Bit Light peaking out to shine down.   Thread the bit light cable up the following space that leads to the top of the tower. Pull the cable all the way up, then connect it to a spare port on the 6-Port Expansion Board.     39.) Take a new 30cm Connecting Cable and thread one end of the cable up the same space we threaded the bit light cable. Pull the cable up from the top of the tower and connect it to a spare port on the 6-Port Expansion Board.   Thread the other end of the 30cm cable down the space that leads to the right side of the ship, then turn the ship around to the right side and pull the cable all the way out. Connect the cable to a spare port on the 12-Port Expansion Board on this side.   Turn the ship around to the left side again and reconnect the middle section to the back, as well as the left wall panel.     40.) Turn the ship around to the back and disconnect the following pieces from the left side of the tower.   Take a Cool White 30cm Bit Light and with the cable facing up. place it directly over the following stud. Secure the Bit Light in place by connecting a provided Trans Clear Round Plate 1×1 over the top, then reconnect the sections we removed earlier. Connect the Bit Light cable to a new 6-Port Expansion Board.     41.) Using the same method used as per previous step, install another Cool White 30cm Bit Light to the right side of the tower securing it in place using another provided Trans Clear Round Plate 1×1, then connect the Bit Light to the same 6-Port Expansion Board in the previous step.     42.) Take a 5cm Connecting Cable and connect it to the 6-Port Expansion Board from previous step. Connect the other end of the 5cm cable to one of the OUT ports on a Multi Effects Board (3PFX). Take another 5cm Connecting Cable and connect it to the IN port (+5V) on the Multi effects Board. Connect the other end of the 5cm cable to a spare port on the 6-Port Expansion Board from step 37 – 38.   Configure the Multi Effects Board to the ’emergency’ effect by flicking the 3-way switch to the middle and turning the speed wheel all the way to the left for the slowest speed. Turn ON the power to test the lights and effects installed to the tower are working OK.   Note: If you experience any issues with the lights not working and suspect an issue with a component, please try a different port on the expansion board to verify where the fault lies (with the light, expansion board, or effects board). To correct any issues with expansion board ports, please view the section addressing expansion board issues on our online troubleshooting guide.     43.) Take one of the tower roof panels and disconnect and disassemble the generator dome section as shown below   Take a Cool White 30cm Large Bit Light and thread the connector end of the cable through the top of the round plate. Pull the cable all the way out from underneath, then carefully bend the Bit Light on a 90 degree angle so that it sits flat against the top of the plate. Reconnect the base section with angled tiles underneath the round plate to secure the Bit Light in place.   Reconnect the dome piece, then bring the cable down and lay it in between studs before reconnecting the angled 1×2 tile over the top.     44.) Thread the Large Bit Light cable through the top of the rigid round brick before reconnecting this brick to the bottom of the dome section.   Disconnect the following antenna piece from the roof panel, then reconnect the dome section ensuring the cable is facing the outside as shown below. Reconnect the antenna piece we removed earlier, then fold the cable underneath the roof panel so that it is laid towards the inside.     45.) Follow the previous two steps to install another Cool White 30cm Large Bit Light to the generator dome on the left roof panel.     46.) Clear the area inside the bridge by pulling all the cables over to the left side, then reconnect the right roof panel ensuring the Large Bit Light cable is still accessible. Connect the large bit light to a new 6-Port Expansion Board.   Connect a new 5cm Connecting Cable to the 6-Port Expansion Board, then connect the other end of the 5cm cable to the second OUT port on the Multi Effects Board.   Neaten up all the cables by grouping them together and twisting and folding them together into a neat bunch, then tuck everything inside the left side, leaving the 6-port expansion board from this step still accessible.     46.) Take the left roof panel and place it over the left side of the tower. Ensure the bit light cable is folded underneath the panel, then connect it to the same 6-Port expansion board the other generator dome light is connected to.   Tuck all the cables inside the tower before securely reconnecting the roof panel to the tower. Reconnect the pieces on each side of the bridge as well as the top radar section we removed earlier.   Turn ON the power to test all the lights installed to the tower and bridge are working OK. The generator dome lights and two lights installed to the back of the tower should be flashing in alternate sequence using the ’emergency’ flash effect from the multi effects board.   Note: If you experience any issues with the lights not working and suspect an issue with a component, please try a different port on the expansion board to verify where the fault lies (with the light, expansion board, or effects board).

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!

Installing lights to the Disney Train

  1.) Disconnect the train carriages, then take the first carriage and disconnect sections from the top and front of the vehicle.   Place the train onto it’s right side and disconnect the front wheel section, then disconnect the gold round plate from each side.     2.) Take one of the gold plates and thread the connector end of a White 15cm Bit Light through the front of it. Thread it all the way through, then carefully bend the Bit Light so that it sits flat against the edge of the plate. Secure the LED in place by connecting a provided LEGO Trans Clear Round Plate 1×1 over the top.   Repeat this step to install another White 15cm Bit Light to the other gold plate, securing it in place with another provided Trans Clear Round Plate 1×1.     3.) Reconnect each plate to the front wheel section, ensuring the cables are facing toward the inside, then cross both cables over each other and secure them underneath the following dark grey arched plate. Ensure the cables are neatly laid in between studs underneath.     4.) Take the top front section of the train and disconnect the following two plates. Take a Warm White 30cm Large Bit Light and with the cable facing down, place it in the following position on the front section. Secure the Bit Light in place by reconnecting the trans yellow 2×2 plate. Bring the cable down underneath, then reconnect the red 1×2 tile.   Reconnect this section to the front of the train, then push down the large bit light cable and lay it down in between studs. Reconnect the two outer sections as shown below.     5.) Place the train onto it’s right side, then bend the large bit light cable into a hook shape. Thread the cable over the following technic axle, then pull it all the way out from the other side. Connect the cable to a 6-Port Expansion Board.   Reconnect the front wheel section to the train, then connect the two bit light cables from the front to the 6-Port Expansion Board.     6.) Take the second carriage and disconnect the motor cable from the LEGO powered up battery box. Remove the battery box from the carriage, then take out the Light My Bricks Powered Up Cable and connect it to the battery box. Connect the other end of the cable to the 6-Port Expansion Board.

The lights will automatically turn off when the motor is turned off or when “STOP” on the controller/app is pressed.    Note: If you experience any issues with the lights not working and suspect an issue with a component, please try a different port on the expansion board to verify where the fault lies (with the light or expansion board). To correct any issues with expansion board ports, please view the section addressing expansion board issues on our online troubleshooting guide.     7.) From the back of the train, lift up the roof, then take a White 15cm Bit Light, and with the cable facing down, place it in the following position underneath the roof. Secure the Bit Light in place by connecting a provided Trans Clear Plate w Rounded Bottom 2×2 over the top.   Thread the Bit Light cable down and out the side of the train. Turn the train over onto it’s right side and pull the cable all the way out from the bottom. Bend the cable into a hook shape and thread it down the space of the black brick with handle. Pull the cable all the way out from underneath as shown below.   Thread the cable through the following technic brick hole and pull it all the way out from the middle. Connect the Bit Light cable to the 6-Port Expansion Board.     8.) Turn the train back over, then disconnect the large black dish from the inside. Lay the cable down in between studs, then reconnect the large dish over the top. Close the roof, then use your controller or remote app to accelerate to test the internal light is working OK.     9.) Eliminate excess cable from the large bit light by twisting and folding it into a neat bunch. Tuck the bunched up cables inside the space underneath the train.   Take a 30cm Connecting Cable and connect it to the 6-Port Expansion Board, then disconnect the following grey 2×4 plate at the back of the carriage. Lay both connecting cable and powered up cable in the middle facing the back, then reconnect the grey 2×4 plate over the top. Ensure both cables are laid in between studs underneath.   Stick 2x Adhesive Squares to the back of the 6-Port Expansion Board, then mount the board underneath the train, inside in the following position. Tuck all the cables into the space underneath the train.     10.) Return the train to it’s upright position, then reconnect the Battery Box to the second carriage. Option 1 – If you’re using the hand controller to control the train motor, pull out the train motor cable and connect it to the socket B. This will allow you to turn the lights on if the train is stationary. Option 2- If you’re using the smartphone app to control the train motor, pull out the train motor cable and connect it to the spare socket on the Light My Bricks Compatible Powered Up Cable. If you connect the motor cable to socket B on the battery box, it will cause potential issues with being able to run the motor.   Option 1   Option 2     Bring the 30cm Connecting Cable over behind the second carriage, then tuck in the motor cable and as much of the powered up cable as possible, inside the second carriage. Neatly place the socket of the powered up cable on the front of the second carriage as shown below.     11.) We will now install some multicoloured flashing lights to the third carriage. First seperate this carriage and turn it onto it’s right side so we can access underneath. Take out a new 6-Port Expansion Board and connect a 50cm Connecting Cable to it’s far right port. Place the expansion board underneath the front wheel section.   Using 2x Adhesive Squares, mount the expansion board underneath the carriage toward the front as shown below     12.) Disconnect the rear wheel section, then disconnect the red plate on top and lay the 50cm cable down in between studs. Secure the cable by reconnecting the red plate over the top.   Reconnect the rear wheel section underneath the carriage and test to ensure there is enough cable slack for the front and rear wheels to turn.   Secure the cable underneath the carriage using a provided LEGO Plate 1×2. Test each wheel section by turning it left and right to ensure there is enough cable slack. If there isn’t enough, then disconnect the rear wheel section and re-lay the cable underneath the red plate.     13.) Take out the Multi Colour Light String and connect it to the 6-Port Expansion Board. Flip the carriage back over and turn it to the front. Disconnect the red 2×4 tile and lay the Multi Colour Light String Cable up in between studs, then reconnect the 2×4 tile.   Bend the tip of the light string into a hook and thread it through the side of the carriage as shown below. Pull the light string all the way out from the centre, then pull it up the top left corner.     14.) Turn the carriage around so we are facing the left side. Lift up the left roof section and disconnect the blue arched plates from the left side. Bring the cable up and lay it over the top of the window toward the middle of the carriage. Ensuring the cable is laid in between studs, reconnect the blue arched plates.   Remove the middle roof section and lift up the right roof panel. Bring the Light string across the middle section and disconnect the 1×2 plate with ridge on the left. Lay the rubber part of the light string toward the back of the left roof, then ensure the light string is laid in between studs underneath where we disconnected the 1×2 plate. Reconnect the plate over the top of the light string.     15.) Lay the light string around the studs on top of the middle section. Ensure that the two light string LEDs are positioned as shown below, then secure the light string underneath the 1×2 plate with ridge on the right.   Disconnect the white arched plates on the far right side, then bring the light string over to the back of the carriage and disconnect the red 1×2 plate with ridge on the right side. Position the light string as shown below ensuring there are 3 LEDs positioned in this back section, then loop the light string around the bottom red stud. Secure the light string in place by reconnecting the red 1×2 plate with ridge over the top, then reconnect the white arched plates.     16.) Bring the light string back toward the front of the carriage, then disconnect the white 1×1 plate from the top of the post. Wind the light string around the top of the pole as shown below. Ensuring the light string is looped around the top side of the stud, secure it down by reconnecting the white 1×1 plate followed by the middle roof section.     Ensure the top of the light string is positioned as shown below and slightly bent up so that it isn’t seen from the sides of the carriages. Close down the front roof panel     17.) Bring the carriage close to the second carriage, then turn it onto it’s right side so we can access underneath. Locate the other end of the 30cm Connecting Cable brought over from the front of the train and connect it to the 6-port Expansion Board underneath.     Turn the carriage back upright then turn the entire train around to the right side and secure the 30cm cable underneath the Disney Railroad sign.   Use your controller or remote app to press ‘accelerate’ to test the multi coloured lights are working OK.     18.) We will now light up the last carriage. Remove this section from the back, then disconnect the entire roof section as shown below.   Remove the following bricks and tiles from the top and sides, then disconnect the two lamps.     19.) Disconnect the gold round plate from the bottom of each lamp, then take a White 15cm Bit Light and thread the connector side of the cable through the top of one of the gold plates. Thread the cable all the way through, then carefully bend the LED so that it sits flat against the top of the gold plate. Secure the Bit Light in place by reconnecting the top section of the lamp over the top ensuring the cable is facing the back.     Bring the bit light cable up and then thread it down the hole of the gold handle. Pull the cable all the way out from the bottom   Reconnect the lamp to the left side of the carriage ensuring the cable is facing the inside, then bring the cable up and reconnect the angled brick we removed earlier over the top.     20.)

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!

 

Installing lights to the Disney Train Station

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

Take the section which the clock was connected to and disconnect the centre plate and grey bracket plate behind.   Take a Warm White 30cm Large Bit Light and place it in the centre of the 2×2 plate. Secure the Bit Light in place by reconnecting the Clock dish over the top, then turn this section over and bring the bit light cable up before reconnecting it to the section we disconnected it from.   Ensuring the cable is laid in between studs, reconnect the grey bracket plate, then reconnect everything back to the front of the top section.   Reconnect this top section to the top of the train station.     37.) From the back of the set, disconnect the following two angled bricks on the very top. Bring the bit light cable from the clock up and secure it by laying it around studs. Reconnect the two angled bricks, then disconnect the window sections from each side.   Disconnect the following plate on the side, then bring the 15cm Connecting Cable up and lay it in between studs toward the inside of the tower. Reconnect the plate over the top.     38.) Disassemble one of the window sections, then take a White 15cm Bit Light and split the brown and black cable closest to the LED. With the LED facing down and cable facing the back, place it over the stud on top of the window. Secure the Bit Light in place by reconnecting the arched pieces, then reconnect the window section to the top of the station.   Repeat this step to install another White 15cm Bit Light to the other window, then reconnect it to the station. The Bit Lights should be just peaking out the top of the window to shine down.     39.) Locate the other end of the 15cm Connecting Cable we pulled up from below (right side) and connect it to a new 6-Port Expansion Board. Connect both bit light cables, as well as the large bit light cable to the Expansion Board, then turn ON the power to test all the lights to the top section are working OK.   Note: If you experience any issues with the lights not working and suspect an issue with a component, please try a different port on the expansion board to verify where the fault lies (with the light or expansion board). To correct any issues with expansion board ports, please view the section addressing expansion board issues on our online troubleshooting guide.     40.) Reconnect the following arched section ensuring all the cables are pulled up behind it. Bring all the cables back over and lay them in between studs, then reconnect the three arched bricks on top.   Pull all the cables and expansion board up, then reconnect the two side angled bricks. Twist and fold the cables into a neat bunch, then reconnect the mini disney castle inside.     41.) Take the roof section and turn it onto it’s front so we can access underneath it. Take a White 15cm Bit Light and place it underneath the roof directly in the centre. Secure the Bit Light in place by connecting a provided Trans Clear Plate w Rounded Bottom 2×2 over the top.   Bring the roof over the top of the station and connect the bit light to the 6-Port Expansion Board. Eliminate excess cable from the bit light by twisting and folding it into a neat bunch, then gather the bunched up cables and bring them all together.   Reconnect the remaining angled bricks to the top, then neatly tuck everything inside before securely reconnecting the roof. Check inside the tower to ensure there are no dangling cables or components.     42.) Reconnect the window roof sections to each side, then turn ON the power to test all the lights are working OK.    

This completes installation of the Disney Train Station lights. It’s now time to light up the Disney Train.

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 lights to the Ice rink. Disconnect the following sections surrounding the snow pile on the right side as shown below:   Take a Blue 30cm Bit Light and bend the LED up at approximately 1cm from the end. With the LED facing the Ice rink, place the cable in between the white studs, then secure it in place by reconnecting the white angled brick as shown below:     2.) Reconnect the surrounding pieces, then turn this section around to the side and bring the cable towards the back. Disconnect the light post section and lay the cable in between studs underneath it. Reconnect the light post to secure the cable in place.   Turn the set around to the back and connect the Blue Bit Light into a large port on a Micro 4-Port Expansion Board. Take the AA Battery Pack and insert 3x NEW AA Batteries to it. Connect the Battery Pack cable to the other large port on the Micro Expansion Board, then turn ON the power to test the blue light is working OK.     Note: If you experience any issues with the lights not working and suspect an issue with a component, please try a different port on the expansion board to verify where the fault lies (with the light or expansion board). To correct any issues with expansion board ports, please view the section addressing expansion board issues on our online troubleshooting guide.     3.) We will now install flashing lights to the lights hanging over the ice rink. Disconnect the two light sections on the right, then disassemble them as shown below.   Take a Flashing White 30cm Micro Bit Light and place the LED inside one of the white plates with clips. Secure the Bit Light in place by reconnecting the trans green round plate over the top. Warning – Do not forcefully connect the LEGO plate back inside the white plate. Because of the size of the micro LED, the plate will not fully connect inside. Forcing the plate to fully reconnect may cause the wire to break.     Repeat this step to install another Flashing White 30cm Micro Bit Light to the other light section.     4.) Reconnect the red light to the overhead string, ensuring the trans red plate is facing down. Bring the cable across and over the flag, then reconnect the green light ensuring the cable from the red light is laid inside the white clip of the green light.   Bring both cables over the flag, then disconnect the pole and wind both cables around it three times. Secure the two cables underneath the white 2×2 plate underneath the pole as shown below. Ensure the two cables are laid in between studs underneath and towards the back of this section.   Turn the set around to the back and connect both Micro Bit Light cables to the Micro Expansion Board (smaller ports). Turn the AA Battery Pack ON to test the flashing lights are working OK.     5.) We will now install the other two flashing lights above the rink. Disconnect the two light sections on the left side, then following the same process used in previous steps, install another 2x Flashing White 30cm Micro Bit Lights to these lights.     6.) Reconnect the green light first, ensuring the trans green plate is facing down, then bring the cable over the flag. Reconnect the red light ensuring the cable from the green light is clipped inside the white clip of the red light. Bring both cables over the flag.   Wind both cables around the pole twice, then secure the cables underneath the white plate on the bottom of the pole. Ensure the cables are laid together in between studs underneath and that they are facing toward the back of this section.     7.) Turn the set around to the back and disconnect the white 2×4 plate underneath the larger tree on the right. Lay the two cables down in between studs as shown below, then reconnect the white plate as well as the larger tree.   Connect the two Micro Bit Lights to the remaining ports on the Micro Expansion Board. Turn ON the Battery Pack to test the flashing lights are all working OK.     8.) Disconnect the AA Battery Pack from the expansion board, then disconnect the bench as well as the white 2×4 plate to the right of it. Lay the cables from the Blue Bit Light and the two Flashing Micro Bit Lights toward the centre of this section in between studs. Reconnect the 2×4 plate over the top followed by the bench.   Secure the cables underneath the smaller tree, then twist the cables around each other a few times just behind the smaller tree. Take 2x Adhesive Squares and stick them to the back of the expansion board, then stick the expansion board on the back of the white plates behind the bench.   Continue to twist and fold up the cables into a neat bunch, then tuck any remaining cable underneath the plates.   Take a 30cm Connecting Cable and connect it to the larger port on the Micro Expansion Board. Leave the other end of the cable disconnected for now as this will be used to connect to an expansion board on the back of the bakery later on.     9.) We will now install lights to the bakery. First disconnect the sections just above the windows, then turn the set around and remove the roof and chimney sections as shown below.   Follow the below images to continue to disconnect sections from the top half of the bakery.   Turn the set around to the front and disconnect the following sections surrounding the front window.     10.) Take the front lamp section and disassemble it as shown below, then take a White 15cm Bit Light and thread the connector end of the cable through the bottom of the trans yellow cone piece. Thread the cable all the way through then, with the LED facing the front, reconnect the black post piece and re-clip it back to the orange brick. Reconnect the black round plate to the top.   Bring the cable down behind the black post, then underneath the brown brick before reconnecting it to the front of the Bakery. Ensuring the cable is laid in between studs, reconnect the red ‘L’ bricks over the top.     11.) Connect the White 15cm Bit Light to a White Strip Light, then take the AA Battery Pack and connect it to the Strip Light’s other port. Turn the Battery Pack ON to test the lamp and 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.   Disconnect the AA Battery Pack from the Strip Light, then reconnect all the sections we removed earlier surrounding the front window.     12.) We will now install a light to the lamp post. First disconnect and disassemble to lamp post as shown below:   Take a White 30cm Bit Light and place it in the centre of the black round plate. Secure the Bit Light in place by reconnecting the trans yellow brick with black dish over the top. Thread the Bit Light cable through the top of the sign section via the top open stud on the black brick. Pull the cable all the way out from the bottom, then reconnect the lamp. Ensure the cable is tucked into the gap underneath the black stud.     13.) Continue to thread the cable through all the black round bricks as well as the black cone brick at the bottom, then reconnect everything together (without the black bar). Reconnect the lamp post to the front of the set, then lay the cable behind it, in between studs. Reposition the tree in the middle of the plate to cover up the wire.   Turn the set around, then connect the Bit Light cable from the lamp post to an 8-Port Expansion Board. Take the AA Battery Pack and connect it to the expansion board, then turn ON the battery pack to test the lamp post 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.) Take a 30cm Connecting Cable and connect it to the 8-Port Expansion Board, then connect the other end of the cable to the other port on the White Strip Light from previous step.   Using it’s adhesive backing, stick the right side of the Strip Light underneath the red bricks on the right. The Strip Light is currently only partially sticking to this section as we will stick the other side of the strip light at a later stage.   Secure the White 15cm Bit Light cable underneath the left roof pieces ensuring you first pull the cable up to prevent it from being seen from the outside. Lay the 30cm Connecting Cable across the top of the bottom floor in between studs as shown below.     15.) We will now install flickering lights to the bakery oven. Follow the below images to disconnect sections of the oven to allow us to disconnect the trans orange round plates.   Take a White 15cm Micro Bit Light and with the cable facing the back corner, place the LED over the top left black stud. Secure the Micro Bit Light in place by reconnecting one of the trans orange round plates over the top. Repeat this to install another White 15cm Micro Bit Light to the right side.   Install another 2x White 15cm Micro Bit Lights to the bottom two studs, ensuring the cables are this time facing the bottom corners before reconnecting the trans orange round plates over the top. Pull the front two cables up before reconnecting the light grey ‘L’ plates.     16.) Take the upper oven section and disconnect the following sections from the bottom of it. Reconnect these two sections to the oven, then lay the two cables from each side, over the top of these sections, laying them in between studs.   Disconnect the following sections from the bottom of the oven section, then reconnect these pieces over the top of the cables.   Pull all four cables up, then thread them through underneath the space on the remaining oven section pieces. Reconnect the top of the oven, then pull the cables toward to back (front of the bakery).     17.) Take the second level section which sits above the left side of the bakery and disconnect the two bricks from underneath of it. Ensuring the four micro bit light cables are laid in between studs, reconnect the two light grey bricks over the top of them.   Lay the 30cm Connecting Cable in between the following studs (over the dark grey roof brick as well as in between studs below) before reconnecting the second level section over the top. Ensure the micro bit light cables are pulled up and are still accessible.   Take a new Micro 4-Port Expansion Board, and connect the four Micro Bit Lights to it. Slip the cables in between the bricks and leave the expansion board behind the brown crate for now, as we will connect this up later.   Ensure the cables are laid in between studs (30cm cable and white 15cm bit light cable), then reconnect the upper chimney section. Stick the left side of the White Strip Light underneath this section, then turn ON the Battery Pack to test the strip light is working and lighting up the bakery floor.     18.) Disconnect the crate from the second level, then take a 5cm Connecting Cable and connect it to the large port on the Micro Expansion Board. Connect the other end of the 5cm cable to one of the OUT ports on a Flicker Effects Board.   Take another 5cm Connecting Cable and connect it to the IN port on the Flicker Effects Board. Connect the other end of the 5cm connecting cable to the large port on a new Micro 4-Port Expansion Board.   Take a 15cm Connecting Cable and connect it to the other large port on the Micro Expansion Board we just connected, then bring the cable down the left side of the bakery and connect it to a spare port on the 8-Port Expansion Board at the bottom of the set. Turn the Battery Pack ON to test the oven lights are working and flickering OK.   Note: If you experience any issues with the lights not working and suspect an issue with a component, please try a different port on the expansion board to verify where the fault lies (with the light or expansion board). To correct any issues with expansion board ports, please view the section addressing expansion board issues on our online troubleshooting guide.     19.) Disconnect the white tile on the left side of the bakery, then disconnect the left wall section. Turn the set around to the front, then reconnect the window section to the left side.   Remove all the light sections above both windows on the second floor, disconnecting them from the black plates with clips. Disconnect the red 1×4 plate behind them, then disconnect the trans coloured round plates from the white plates of the light sections as shown below.     20.) Take a Flashing White 15cm Micro Bit Light and place the LED inside the white plate with clip. Secure the Bit Light in place by reconnecting one of the trans red round plates. Remember – Do not forcefully connect the LEGO plate back inside the white plate. Because of the size of the micro LED, the plate will not fully connect inside. Forcing the plate to fully reconnect may cause the wire to break.   Lay the cable underneath the middle of the black plate, before reconnecting this section back to the top of the left window. Ensure the cable is laid in between studs underneath.   Install another Flashing White 15cm Micro Bit Light to the other light section, then reconnect it to the top of the left window.   Ensuring both cables are laid in between studs, reconnect the red 1×4 plate behind, then bring both cables across to the right side and secure them down underneath the following angled red brick.     21.) Repeat the previous step to install another 2x Flashing White 15cm Micro Bit Lights to the remaining light sections, then reconnect them above the right window. Ensuring the cables are laid in between studs, reconnect the red 1×4 plate behind.   Turn the set around to the back and connect all four flashing micro bit lights to the Micro 4-Port Expansion Board (one with nothing connected to it). Turn ON the Battery Pack to test the flashing lights above the windows are working OK.     22.) Neaten up all the excess cabling from the Flashing lights by twisting and folding them altogether into a neat bunch. Group all the components on the second floor together, then lay the 15cm Connecting Cable in between studs on the left side. Secure the cable down by reconnecting the white tile and the left wall section we removed earlier.     23.) We will now install a light to the bottom section of the bakery. Turn the set around to the side, and use your LEGO removal tool to create a gap just underneath the light grey plate above the side window.   Take a White 15cm Bit Light and turn it over so that the LED is facing down, then thread the Bit Light through the gap we just created. Position the LED in the centre underneath the second floor, then secure it in place by connecting a provided LEGO Trans Clear Plate w Rounded Bottom 2×2 over it.The LED should be facing down and positioned in the middle of the trans clear plate.   Close up the gap we created, ensuring the Bit Light cable is laid in between studs, then connect the Bit Light to a spare port on the 8-Port Expansion Board at the bottom of the set. Turn ON the Battery Pack to test the internal 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.     24.) Turn the set around to the front, then starting from the right side, reconnect the roof sections as well as the sections that connect on top of the windows.   Turn the set around and reconnect the top of the chimney, then reconnect the crate to the second floor ensuring the components are nicely tucked in and hidden behind it.     25.) The last light we need to install to the bakery is the one just above the front door. Take the remaining White 15cm Bit Light and stick it to an Adhesive Square. With the cable facing the right side, stick the Bit Light underneath the white plate above the door.   Bring the cable underneath the roof section and around to the back, then secure it underneath the white tile on the side of the building. Connect the Bit Light to a spare port on the 8-Port Expansion Board, then turn ON the AA Battery Pack to test the front door 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.     26.) Take 2x Adhesive Squares and stick them to the back of the 8-Port Expansion Board. Secure the expansion board to the back of the set in the following position, then neaten up the cables by twisting and folding them together into a neat bunch. Tuck the bunched up cables into the corner and secure them all down using tape.     27.) We will now install a light to the tree shop. First disconnect the roof from this section, then flip it over so we can access underneath. Take a White 30cm Bit Light and with the cable on the left side, place the LED underneath the roof in the middle. Secure the Bit Light in place by connecting the remaining provided Trans Clear Plate w Rounded Bottom 2×2 over the top.   Flip the roof section back over and reconnect it to the tree shop, then bring the cable down the side of the shop and secure it underneath the side bricks, with the cable facing out.     28.) Position the Ice Rink section on the left side of the Bakery. Take the other end of the 30cm Connecting Cable from this section and connect it to a spare port on the 8-Port Expansion Board.   Position the Tree Shop to the other side of the Bakery, then connect the bit light cable to the remaining spare port on the 8-Port Expansion Board. Turn the Battery Pack ON to test all the lights connected are working OK.

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 lights to the christmas tree on the side of the Gingerbread House. First disconnect the star followed by the four panel sections around the tree.   Disconnect the bottom sections from the front of the star as shown below, then reconnect the 1×2 plate with open studs.     2.) Take a Flashing White 15cm Bit Light and place it in between the two open studs, in the centre of the star. Secure the Bit Light in place by reconnecting the trans yellow triangular pieces over the top.   Thread the other end of the Bit Light cable through the gap at the bottom of the star, then pull the cable all the way out from behind. Reconnect the star to the tree.     3.) We will now light up the tree panels starting with the two that have the two trans yellow round plates on them. Take one panel and disconnect the bottom triangular plate from underneath, then disconnect the trans yellow round plate from the top.   Take a Flashing White 15cm Bit Light and with the cable facing away from you, place it directly over the green stud as shown below. Secure the Bit Light in place by reconnecting the trans yellow round plate over the top.   Disconnect the following few pieces from the bottom of the panel, then take another Flashing White 15cm Bit Light and with the cable facing the right, place it over the green stud. Secure the Bit Light in place by reconnecting the trans yellow round plate, followed by the other pieces we disconnected earlier.     4.) Fold the cable from the left underneath the plate as shown below, then take the cable from the right and bring it under the plate and lay it in between the studs of the plate that connects underneath this section. Reconnect the sections ensuring the cables are laid in between studs.     5.) Follow the previous steps to install another 2x Flashing White 15cm Bit Lights to the other tree panel with two trans yellow round plates.     6.) Take one of the panels and fold the two bit light cables down so they are facing the bottom. Tuck the top cable down underneath in the side of the plate, then reconnect the panel to the front of the tree.   Turn the tree around and bring the cable from the star down and lay it in between the studs before reconnecting the other panel over it. Ensure the top cable from the panel is also laid underneath the plate on the side.     7.) Take the other two tree panels and disconnect sections from one of them to install another Flashing White 15cm Bit Light to it.   Fold the Bit Light cable underneath the plate and lay it in between studs of the plate that it connects on top of, then securely reconnect the plates together.     8.) Repeat the previous step to install another Flashing White 15cm Bit Light to the remaining tree panel.   Fold each cable down toward the bottom of each panel, then reconnect each panel to the tree ensuring you connect the plates over the Bit Light cables from the other panels underneath.     9.) Turn the tree around so that we are facing the back, then connect all seven bit light cables to an 8-Port Expansion Board. Take the AA Battery Pack and insert 3x NEW batteries to it. Connect the battery pack cable to the expansion board, then turn it ON to test all the flashing lights installed to the tree are working OK.     Note: If you experience any issues with the lights not working and suspect an issue with a component, please try a different port on the expansion board to verify where the fault lies (with the light or expansion board). To correct any issues with expansion board ports, please view the section addressing expansion board issues on our online troubleshooting guide.     10.) Disconnect the Battery Pack and all seven lights from the expansion board. From the back of the tree, twist all the cables around each other all the way to the ends so it forms one larger cable.   Reconnect the all the lights to the expansion board, then neatly bunch up the cables toward the end so they all come together. Position the components behind the tree, then connect a 30cm Connecting Cable to the remaining port. We will use this cable to connect to the rest of the Gingerbread House lights later on.     11.) We will now install lights to the Gingerbread House. We will need to disconnect quite a few sections from the top. First turn the set around to the back and disconnect the two roof sections as shown below:   Continue to remove roof and chimney sections as per below:     12.) Turn the set around to the front, then disconnect the following sections on top of the fire place to allow us to remove the LEGO light brick section.   Remove the window wall section, followed by the front roof, then continue to remove sections from the top of the fire place.     13.) Use your LEGO Removal Tool to create a gap between the white and brown plates above the front door, then disconnect the two lamps at the front.   Disconnect the black round plate from one of the lamps, then take a White 15cm Bit Light and place it directly over the stud of the black round plate. Secure the Bit Light in place by reconnecting the lamp over the top, ensuring the cable is facing the back of the lamp.   Wind the cable around the lamp post, then bring the lamp towards the house and thread the cable through the gap we created earlier, pulling the cable out from the inside until we can reconnect the lamp to the front.     14.) Repeat previous step to install another White 15cm Bit Light to the other lamp, then thread the cable through the gap and reconnect it to the front of the house.   Ensure both cables are laid in between the brown studs, then close up the gap by securely reconnecting the top section.   Turn the set around and connect the two Bit Light cables we just installed to a 6-Port Expansion Board. Take the AA Battery Pack and connect it to a spare port on the expansion board, then turn it ON to test the two front lamps are working OK.   Note: If you experience any issues with the lights not working and suspect an issue with a component, please try a different port on the expansion board to verify where the fault lies (with the light or expansion board). To correct any issues with expansion board ports, please view the section addressing expansion board issues on our online troubleshooting guide.     15.) We will now light up both front and inside sections of the fireplace. First disconnect the AA Battery Pack from the expansion board, then disconnect the chair followed by the fire section from the inside fireplace, by the black 2×4 plate as shown below:   Turn the set around, then disconnect the fire section from the front of the firepalce by the black 2×4 plate.     16.) Take one of the fire sections and disconnect and discard the trans orange round plate from the front. Take a White 15cm Bit Light and ensuring the cable is facing the right side, place it over the black stud underneath where the trans orange stud was. Secure the Bit Light in place by connecting a provided LEGO Trans Orange Round Plate 1×1 over the top.   Disconnect and disassemble the flame section behind, then install another White 15cm Bit Light ensuring the cable is this time laid toward the left side.   Using a pair of scissors, snip the tip at the bottom of the flame piece off to allow us to then reconnect the flame section to the trans orange stud as shown below:   Group the two Bit Light cables together, then thread both cables up the chimney in the inside of the set. Pull them out from the top, then reconnect the black 2×4 plate.     17.) Repeat the previous step to install another 2x White 15cm Bit Lights to the fire place section on the front side. Discard the trans orange round plate with open stud that came with the set and replace it with another provided LEGO Trans Orange Round Plate 1×1.   Turn the set around to the front, then group the two Bit Light Cables from the fire section and thread them up the chimney, pulling them both out from above. Reconnect the fire place via the black 2×4 plate.     18.) Connect all four Bit Light cables from the fireplace to a new 6-Port Expansion Board, then take a 5cm Connecting Cable and connect it to a spare port. Connect the other end of the 5cm Cable to one of the OUT ports on a Flicker Effects Board. Take the AA Battery Pack and connect it to the IN port on the Flicker Effects Board, then turn the power ON to test the fireplace lights are working and flickering OK.   Note: If you experience any issues with the lights not working and suspect an issue with a component, please try a different port on the expansion board to verify where the fault lies (with the light or expansion board). To correct any issues with expansion board ports, please view the section addressing expansion board issues on our online troubleshooting guide.   Disconnect the AA Battery Pack from the flicker effects board, then reconnect the chair back to the inside of the house. Hide the cables from the fireplace by using your LEGO removal tool to push down and cables from each side of the fireplace down into each corner.     19.) Use the LEGO Removal Tool to create gaps just above the bottom floor, underneath the white plates, then disconnect the entire top floor as shown below.   Disconnect the two candles above the fireplace, then disconnect the brown 1×6 plate above to allow us to remove the following wall sections.     20.) Take one of the candles and disconnect the flame piece, then take a White 15cm Micro Bit Light and slightly bend the LED down so that we can place it inside the candle as shown below. With the LED inside the hole of the candle, reconnect the flame piece to secure the light in place, then reconnect the candle on top of the fire place ensuring the cable is laid behind.   Repeat this step to install another White 15cm Micro Bit Light to the other candle.     21.) Ensure the Micro Bit Light cables are laid in between studs of the brown plate behind, then reconnect the wall sections over the top. Connect the lights to a Micro 4-Port Expansion Board, then take a 5cm Connecting Cable and connect it to the larger port on the expansion board. Connect the other end of the connecting cable to a different OUT port on the Flicker Effects Board.   Take a 15cm Connecting Cable and connect it to the IN port on the Flicker Effects Board, then bring the other end of the cable across the right and connect it to a spare port on the 6-Port Expansion Board we connected the front lamps lights to.     22.) Take a new 15cm Connecting Cable and connect it to the end port on the 6-Port Expansion Board, then take 2x Adhesive Squares and stick them to the back of the Expansion Board. Stick the expansion board to the inside of the building in the following position against the right wall as shown below. Ensure the 15cm cable we just connected is closest to the back of the house.   Pull up the cables from the front lamps to ensure they don’t sag down, then disconnect the dark grey 1×1 brick behind them and lay the cables in between studs before reconnect the brick over the top.   Bring the 15cm Connecting Cable over the bricks and toward the bottom of the set, then connect it to a new 6-Port Expansion Board. Take the AA Battery Pack and connect it to another spare port on the expansion board, then turn it ON to test the candle lights are working and flickering OK.     23.) Group all the components from the flickering lights together and twist and wind them into a neat bunch.   Lay the 15cm Connecting Cable that it connected between the flicker effects board and 6-port expansion board in between the following studs, then reconnect the dark brown wall section we removed earlier, over the top.   Tuck all the components neatly inside the chimney, then reconnect the brown 1×6 plate to the top of the wall section.   Reconnect the following brown plates above the fire place, as well as other sections we removed earlier, surrounding the chimney, then turn the set around to the front and reconnect the LEGO light brick section followed by bricks above.     24.) We will now install a light in the front kitchen area. Carefully turn the set upside down so we can see underneath this area, then take a White 15cm Bit Light and with the cable facing toward you, place the LED (facing up) in the following position. Secure the light in place by connecting a provided Trans Clear Plate w Rounded Bottom 2×2 over the top. The Bit Light should be comfortably sitting in the middle of the trans clear plate.   With the set turn back upright, bring the Bit Light cable out and connect it to a spare port on the 6-Port Expansion Board mounted to the wall. Turn the Battery Pack ON to test the light is working OK.   Note: If you experience any issues with the lights not working and suspect an issue with a component, please try a different port on the expansion board to verify where the fault lies (with the light or expansion board).

Pull the excess cable from the White 15cm Bit Light up to ensure it is not dangling down and visible .   Disconnect the following brown 1×1 brick at the top, then bring the 15cm Connecting Cable over the left arched brick and lay it in  between studs as shown below. Ensure there is just enough cable length from the top and the expansion board, then reconnect the brick over the top. Pull any excess of the 15cm cable from the inside up so that it doesn’t dangle down.     26.) Take the entire top floor over the bottom floor and place it onto it’s side, then take another White 15cm Bit Light and connect it to the remaining port on the 6-Port Expansion Board mounted to the wall. With the cable facing the right, place the LED underneath the top floor in the following position. Secure it in place by connecting another provided Trans Clear Plate w Rounded Bottom 2×2 over the top.   Loop the cable around to the left, then secure underneath the top floor by tucking it into the sides of the white plates. Reconnect the top floor then check underneath and ensure all cables from the Bit Light are tucked up, then turn the battery pack ON to test the lights are working OK.     27.) Take a 30cm Connecting Cable and connect it to a spare port on the 6-Port Expansion Board at the bottom of the set, then bring the other end of the cable across to the left side.   Lift up the roof panel section on the left, then disconnect the following pieces from the inside.   Take the other end of the 30cm Connecting Cable and connect it to a new 8-Port Expansion Board.     28.) Reconnect the following section behind the chimney, then reconnect the middle roof section via the brown clip pieces as shown below.   Turn the set around to the front and reconnect the following window section as well as the remaining sections of the chimney.     29.) From the back of the set, remove the bed and bedside table, then disconnect the brown round plate from the bottom of the bedside lamp.   Take a White 30cm Bit Light and place it over the top of the brown plate. Secure the light in place by reconnecting the lamp over the top, then reconnect the lamp to the bedside table ensuring the cable is behind. Reconnect the bedside table to the set, then lay the cable to the right, around the room before reconnecting the bed.   Bring the cable down and connect it to the 6-Port Expansion Board at the bottom of the set, then eliminate excess cable between the top and bottom floor by looping the cable around the brown hinge piece on the right side 2-3 times.     30.) Turn the set around to the front, then take the roof section that connects over the front door and place it on it’s back. Take a Pink 30cm Bit Light and stick it to an Adhesive Square. With the cable facing the inside of the roof, stick the Bit Light to the following position underneath the front of the roof tip.   Bring the cable underneath the black hinge brick on the roof, then reconnect the roof ensuring you first lay the cable toward the right, behind the chimney. You may also need to disconnect the window section behind in order to securely reconnect the roof. If you check underneath the roof tip, the Pink Bit Light should be peaking out to shine down.   Bring the cable over to the right side ensuring you lay it in between sections as shown below.     31.)  Turn the set around to the back, then take the roof section that sits above the bedroom and turn it onto it’s right side so we can access underneath of it. Take a White 30cm Bit Light and with the cable facing the right, place it in the following position underneath the right roof panel. Secure the Bit Light in place by connecting another provided Trans Clear Plate w Rounded Bottom 2×2 over the top of it.   Bring the cable down to the right side and secure it underneath the white rounded bottom plate.     32.) Flip the roof section over and lay it onto it’s back, then take a Pink 30cm Bit Light and stick the LED to an Adhesive Square. With the cable facing the inside of the roof, stick the Bit Light to the following position underneath the front of the roof tip.   Bring the roof over the house and reconnect it over the bedroom via the brown clip plate, then bring the other end of the White Bit Light cable up over the brown angled clip piece before securely reconnecting the right roof panel by pushing it down. Connect the White Bit Light to an available port on the 6-Port Expansion Board below. The Pink Bit Light should be positioned perfectly in the middle underneath the front of the roof tip as shown below.   Bring the other end of the Pink Bit Light cable across to the far left side of the house ensuring you slip the cable along with the other pink bit light cable in between the bath and wall sections as shown below.     33.)  Bring the two Pink Bit Light cables down and connect them to the 8-Port Expansion Board. Secure the two cables underneath the following brown hinge brick ensuring they are laid in between studs underneath. This will also ensure the cables stay hidden neatly behind the bath.   Turn the Battery Pack ON to test the pink roof lights as well as the bedroom 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.     34.) Neaten up all the cables running down the back right side of the house by grouping them together and securing them to the wall using tape. Ensure the cables are in the far right corner so they are not too obviously visible.   Use 2x Adhesive Squares to stick the 6-Port Expansion Board to the bottom of the set in the following position.     35.) Take the roof that sits over the bathroom and flip it around and lay it on it’s back so we can access the front side of it. Take another Pink 30cm Bit Light and stick it underneath the tip of the roof like we did for the other Pink lights using an Adhesive Square.   Lay the roof onto it’s right side so we can access underneath. Take a White 15cm Bit Light and with the cable facing down, place the LED in the following position underneath the right roof panel. Secure the Bit Light in place by connecting another provided Trans Clear Plate w Rounded Bottom 2×2 over the top of it.   Reconnect the roof over the bathroom using the brown clip plate on the right and the hinge brick on the left ensuring both White and Pink Bit Light cables are laid behind the hinge brick.

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.) The first section we will light up are the main characters on their “Stranger Things” platform. First, disconnect Mike, then disassemble his flash light.   Take a White 15cm Bit Light and place it over the hilt’s stud. Secure it in place by reconnecting the trans clear round plate 1×1 over the top. Fold the Bit Light cable down toward the bottom of the hilt, then reconnect it to Mike’s hand ensuring the cable is also clipped inside. Reconnect Mike to the platform.     2.) Disconnect Lucas, then disassemble his flash light.   Take a White 15cm Bit Light and with the cable facing the bottom of the flash light hilt, place it over the hilt’s stud. Since we can’t reconnect the trans clear tile over the bit light, discard this piece and connect a provided Trans clear Round Plate 1×1 over the top to secure the light in place. Wind the Bit Light cable behind the flash light, then reconnect it to Lucas’ hand ensuring the cable is also clipped inside. Reconnect Lucas to the platform.     3.) Turn the platform around, then connect the two Bit Light cables to a 6-Port Expansion Board. Take a Flat Battery Pack and insert 2x NEW CR2032 Batteries. Connect the battery pack cable to the expansion board and turn it ON to test the flashlights are working OK. Important Note: As of June 2022, Flat Battery Packs have been removed due to child safety regulations. Please read below to see an alternative power source (50cm Connecting Cable).   Note: If you experience any issues with the lights not working and suspect an issue with a component, please try a different port on the expansion board to verify where the fault lies (with the light or expansion board). To correct any issues with expansion board ports, please view the section addressing expansion board issues on our online troubleshooting guide.     4.) Use 2x Adhesive Squares to mount the expansion board behind the bottom of the platform, then use another 2x Adhesive Squares to mount the flat battery pack (with cable facing the left) on the back of the Stranger Things board.   Neaten up the excess cable by grouping them together and twisting/folding them around each other into a neat bunch.   Secure the two cables down to the back of the platform, using sticky tape. This now completes installation for this section.   If you wish to tether the power for the flash lights to the main light kit for the house rather than using batteries, connect the provided 50cm Connecting Cable to a spare port on the expansion board. You can connect the other end of the cable to the main circuit later on.     5.) We will now light up Chief Hopper’s police car. First disconnect the car from the front of the set, then disconnect the roof and sections around the front to enable us to remove the head light sections. *   6.) Disconnect and discard the top trans clear tiles from the headlights as per below, then take a White 15cm Bit Light and with the cable facing the right, place it over the left head light section. Secure the Bit Light in place by connecting a provided Trans Clear Plate 1×1 over the top.   Fold the cable up underneath this section, then reconnect it to the front of the car ensuring the cable is pulled up behind and in between the pink and brown bricks as shown below.   7.) Repeat previous step to install another White 15cm Bit Light to the right headlight section.   Thread both headlight cables through the following spaces which lead to the back of the vehicle. . Reconnect the pieces we removed earlier surrounding the front of the car.     8.) Turn the car around to the rear side and pull the side windows out from each side, then disconnect the following pieces to enable us to disconnect the two tail light sections as shown below:     9.) Disconnect and discard the two trans red tiles from the tail lights, then take a White 15cm Bit Light and thread the connector end through the front of one of the tan coloured bricks. Pull the cable all the way out from the back of the brick, then slightly bend the Bit Light so that it sits flat against the edge of the front of the brick. Secure the light in place by connecting a provided Trans Red Plate 1×1 over the top.   Reconnect the tail light section to the left side of the back of the car. Ensure you bring the cable to the right side, laying it behind the brick as shown below.   Repeat this step to install another White 15cm Bit Light to the right tail light, securing it in place with another provided Trans Red Plate 1×1. Ensure you bring the cable to the left side, behind the brick as you reconnect it to the right side of the back of the car.     10.) Take a 6-Port Expansion Board and connect the two head light cables as well as the two tail light cables to it. Take a Flat Battery Pack and insert 2x NEW CR2032 Batteries to it. Connect the battery pack cable to the 6-Port Expansion Board, then turn the battery pack ON to test the head and tail lights are working OK. Important Note: As of June 2022, Flat Battery Packs have been removed due to child safety regulations. Please read below to see an alternative power source (15cm Connecting Cable).   Note: If you experience any issues with the lights not working and suspect an issue with a component, please try a different port on the expansion board to verify where the fault lies (with the light or expansion board). To correct any issues with expansion board ports, please view the section addressing expansion board issues on our online troubleshooting guide.     11.) Flip the car over and mount the Flat Battery Pack underneath the car towards the back using 2x Adhesive Squares. Ensure the battery pack switch is facing the right side of the car.   Turn the car back over and disconnect the following number plate section. Pull the battery pack all the way up inside the car and lay it down in between studs toward the middle before reconnecting the section over the top as shown below:   Reconnect the following piece, then neaten up the cabling by grouping all the cables and folding and twisting them around each other a few times, forming a neat bunch.     12.) Take a 5cm Connecting Cable and connect it to the remaining port on the 6-Port Expansion Board. Connect the other end of the cable to the IN port (+5V) on the Multi Effects Board (side with 1 port)   Reconnect (and fold in) the following pieces and sections we removed earlier, then place all the components in the back area as shown below:     13.) Take the roof of the car and disconnect the 1×6 plate as well as the trans blue and trans red tiles from it.   Take a White 15cm Bit Light and with the cable facing forward, place it in between the two left studs. Secure the light in place by reconnecting the trans blue tile over the top, then repeat this step to install another White 15cm Bit Light underneath the trans red tile.     14.) Reconnect the plate to the roof plate, then connect the two roof lights to the Multi Effects Board.   Turn the Battery Pack ON and configure the Multi Effects Board to use the “emergency” effect by setting the switch on the effects board to the middle setting. You can adjust the speed of the effect by turning the wheel to the left or to the right (slower or faster).   Place the Multi Effects Board back inside the back of the car, then place the roof on top of the car. Group the two cables from the roof together and fold/twist them around each other into a neat bunch to eliminate excess cable. Place the bunched up cables inside before securely reconnecting the roof.   This completes installation of the lights for Chief Hoppers car.   The Police Car lights are currently powered independently via the Flat Battery Pack. If you wish to avoid the battery route, the car lights can be tethered to the house lights later on. Simply swap out the Flat Battery Pack with a provided 15cm Connecting Cable. Leave the other end of it disconnected as we will connect this to the right side of the house at a later stage.     15.) We will now install lights to the house. First, turn the set around to the back side and using your LEGO removal tool, carefully disconnect the roof section at the following two positions as shown below.   Turn the set back around to the front, as we will first install lights to the trees, starting with the tree on the right side. We will be threading each Bit Light through the holes in the tree leaf pieces. First, take a Green 30cm Bit Light and slightly bend the bit light into a U shape toward the connector end of the cable. Thread the connector end through the hole of the following leaf piece as shown below, then pull the cable all the way down from underneath.   Flatten the Bit Light against the top of the leaf hole so that it sits flat and that the LED is facing directly up, then thread the cable through the space above, pulling it out from the other side. Secure the light in place by disconnecting the dark green tile and laying the cable down underneath it, before reconnecting the tile over the top.     16.) Take another Green 30cm Bit Light and slightly bend the connector end of the cable into a U shape. Thread the cable through the hole of the light green leaf piece in the centre, pulling it all the way out from underneath. Ensure the Bit Light’s LED is facing forward as shown below.   Bring the cable behind and over the branch on the right side.     17.) Turn the set around to the back so we can continue installing another two lights to the back side of the tree. Take another Green 30cm Bit Light and bend the connector end of the cable into a U shape. Thread the cable through the hole on the right leaf piece, pulling it all the way out from underneath.   Flatten the Bit Light so that it sits flat against the top of the hole and LED is facing directly up, then bring both front and back cables across to the left side and secure them underneath the following dark brown plate. Ensure the cables are laid across in between studs before reconnecting the dark brown plate over the top.     18.) Bend the dark green leaf piece on the left side down slightly so we can access the hole on the top. Take another Green 30cm Bit Light and slightly bend the connector end of the cable into a U shape. Thread the cable through the hole on the dark green leaf piece, pulling it all the way out from underneath as shown below:   Flatten the Bit Light so that it sits flat against the top of the hole and the LED is facing up, then push up the leaf piece back to it’s original position. Bring the cable across to the right and lay it in between studs underneath the dark brown plate as shown below (around the top stud):   Bring the four cables  down the left side of the tree trunk, then bring them across to the right side, laying them in between studs underneath the following dark brown angled plate.     19.) Connect the four bit light cables to an 8-Port Expansion Board. Take your USB Power Cable and connect it to the end port on the expansion board. Connect the USB Connector to a USB Power Bank or wall adaptor (sold separately) and turn it ON to test the green lights are working OK.   Note: If you experience any issues with the lights not working and suspect an issue with a component, please try a different port on the expansion board to verify where the fault lies (with the light or expansion board). To correct any issues with expansion board ports, please view the section addressing expansion board issues on our online troubleshooting guide.     20.) Facing the front of the house, we will now install lights to the tree on the left side. Using the same method used for the other tree lights, follow the below images to install another Green 30cm Bit Light to the front.   Push down the left leaf piece and install another Green 30cm Bit Light. Flatten the LED, then push the leaf section back up and bring the cable behind.     21.) Turn the set around and install another Green Bit 30cm Light to the left leaf piece, then bring both cables (this one and the first one we installed) over to the right side   Install the remaining Green 30cm Bit Light to the leaf on the right ensuring the LED is facing toward the front of the tree, then disconnect this section at the brown plate. Bring the three cables from the left over to the right and lay them underneath this brown plate in between studs, then securely reconnect this plate as shown below.     22.) Slightly disconnect the light brown plate from the bottom side, then slip the four cables underneath it toward the left side before reconnecting the plate over the cables. Ensure the cables are laid in between studs underneath.   Disconnect the following angled brick at the bottom of the trunk, then group the four cables and lay them across to the left side before reconnecting the angled brick over the top. Ensure the cables are laid in between studs underneath.   Connect the four Bit Lights to a new 8-Port Expansion Board. Disconnect the USB Power Cable from the other tree lights and connect it to this expansion board, then turn ON the power to test the green lights installed to this tree are working OK.   Note: If you experience any issues with the lights not working and suspect an issue with a component, please try a different port on the expansion board to verify where the fault lies (with the light or expansion board). To correct any issues with expansion board ports, please view the section addressing expansion board issues on our online troubleshooting guide.     23.) Disconnect the USB Power Cable, then take out a 50cm Connecting Cable and connect it to the expansion board from previous step. Bring the other end of the cable up and over the house to the left side, then connect it to the 8-port expansion board underneath the left tree. Secure the cable in place by tucking it into the roof’s left and right side as shown below.   Disconnect the grey triangular plate as well as all the light grey tiles from the right side of the house. Lay the connecting cable down in between studs before reconnecting all of these pieces one by one starting with the triangular plate.     24.) Neaten up all the messy cables from this side by twisting and folding them together into one neat bunch, then tuck the bunched up cables underneath the expansion board and place everything at the side of the house as shown below.   Take your USB Power Cable and reconnect it to the expansion board, then secure it underneath the dark brown angled tile. Turn the power ON to test both tree lights are working OK   NOTE – If you wish to tether the lights from the Stranger Things minifig stand, you can connect the other end of the 50cm Connecting cable from this section (step 4.) to the expansion board. Secure the cable in place underneath the dark brown angled tile.     25.) Disconnect the light grey triangular plate from the left side of the house, as well as the following tiles from the wall.   Take a 15cm Connecting Cable and connect it to the 8-port expansion board from the left side of the house, then bring the cable over the top of the house and connect it to the IN port on the Scary Flicker Effects Board (SFXV1). Place the effects board on the top of the house.     26.) Take another 15cm Connecting Cable and connect it to the 8-Port Expansion Board. Bring the cable up and over the wall and connect it to the IN port (+5V) on the Sequence Effects Board (4SQBV1). Place the sequence effects board on top of the house.   Group the four green bit light cables together and twist and fold them around each other into a neat bunch.   Place the bunched up cables underneath the expansion board, then lay the three connecting cables down in between studs along the wall. Secure the cables in place by reconnecting the bottom light grey tile.   Reconnect the remaining tiles to wall one at a time starting from the bottom up, ensuring the cables are laid in between studs.     27.) Remove the following pieces from the top and bottom of the chimney to allow us to disconnect the exterior panel section.   Remove the two left grey roof sections at the front, then remove the top section of the bedroom. Remove the radio to enable us to remove the following two lamps inside.     28.) Disassemble the following lamp, then take a White 15cm Bit Light and thread the connector end of the cable through the top of the white round plate with open stud. Pull the cable all the way out from the other side then flatten the LED so that it is directly facing up. Secure the Bit Light in place by connecting a provided LEGO Trans Clear Round Plate 1×1 over the top.   Thread the cable through the top of the white cone brick then reconnect the top section before reconnecting the lamp inside the room ensuring the cable is facing the wall.   Disconnect the Shark poster and lay the cable up the wall before reconnecting the poster over the top.     29.) Disconnect the trans clear round brick from the floor lamp, then take another White 15cm Bit Light and thread the connector end of the cable through the larger hole of the trans clear round brick. Pull the cable out from the top of the brick then carefully bend the LED so that it is facing directly down before pushing the LED all the way inside the brick.   Reconnect this section to the lamp, then reconnect the floor lamp to the inside of the room ensuring the cable is facing the back corner.   Secure the cable behind the following dark tan tile, then reconnect the Radio.     30.) Bring both Bit Light cables over the wall in the following positions. Reconnect the roof section of the bedroom, then bring all the components and cables back over onto the top.   Connect the two Bit Light cables form the bedroom lamps to a 6-Port Expansion Board. Take a 5cm Connecting Cable and connect one end to the 6-Port Expansion Board. Connect the other end of the connecting cable to one of the OUT ports on the Scary Flicker effects Board. Turn the power ON to test the bedroom lamps are working and flickering OK. The scary effects board should enable to lights on each channel to flicker approximately every 15 seconds.   Note: If you experience any issues with the lights not working and suspect an issue with a component, please try a different port on the expansion board to verify where the fault lies (with the light or expansion board). To correct any issues with expansion board ports, please view the section addressing expansion board issues on our online troubleshooting guide.     31.) Reconnect the exterior panel section as well as the surrounding pieces to the bottom of the chimney.   Take a 5cm Connecting Cable and connect one end to the 6-Port Expansion Board on top of the bedroom. Connect the other end of the cable to a Warm White Strip Light. Turn the power ON to test the strip light is working OK and flickering with the lamps in the bedroom. Leave the Strip Light as is for now as we will install it later.     32.) Take a new 15cm Connecting Cable and connect it to a different OUT port on the Scary Flicker Effects Board. Bring the other end of the cable across to the right and connect it to a new Warm White Strip Light.   Turn the set around to the front and disconnect the two grey roof pieces as well as the two light grey tiles to the right of the front door.     33.) Disconnect the trans clear tile from the trans clear round tile from the light grey tile, then take a White 15cm Bit Light and place the LED over the stud on the grey tile. Secure the Bit Light in place by connecting a provided LEGO Trans Clear Round Plate 1×1 over the top. Reconnect this tile to the front of the house ensuring the cable is facing up.   Lay the Bit Light cable in between studs above, then reconnect the other light grey tile. Bring the cable up and connect it to the White Strip Light we connected in the previous step.     34.) Take the two roof pieces from the left side of the house and flip them over so we can access underneath of it. Using it’s adhesive backing, stick the Strip Light from previous step underneath the roof pieces in the following position. Ensure the Bit Light cable is on the left side.   Flip the roof pieces over and securely reconnect them to the front of the house. From the back side of the house, check to ensure that the bit light cable and 15cm cable are laid in between studs underneath. Turn ON the power to test the lights at the front are flickering OK. Because these lights are connected to a different channel on the Scary Flicker Effects Board, they should be flickering in a different sequence than the lights inside the house.   Note: If you experience any issues with the lights not working and suspect an issue with a component, please try a different port on the expansion board to verify where the fault lies (with the light or expansion board). To correct any issues with expansion board ports, please view the section addressing expansion board issues on our online troubleshooting guide.     35.) Turn the set back over to the front, then take the two roof pieces from the right side and flip them over so we can access underneath of it. Locate the White Strip Light we connected and left hanging from the 6-port expansion board (step 31.) and stick it underneath the two roof pieces in the following position.   Flip the two roof panels over and reconnect them to the right side of the house ensuring the 5cm connecting cable between the strip light and 6-port expansion board is carefully laid in between studs underneath. Turn ON the power to test all the lights at the front of the house are working OK. The Strip Light on the right should be flickering at the same rate as the inside lights.   From the back of the set, neaten and secure the cabling running over the left side of the house by ensuring they are laid in between studs before reconnecting the remaining triangular plate. Reconnect the top section of the chimney.     36.) We will now install the remaining light inside the house on the right side of the living room. Take a White 30cm Bit Light and with the cable facing the left, place the Bit Light against the centre of the roof with the LED shining down. Secure the Bit Light in place by connecting a provided LEGO Trans Clear Plate w Rounded Bottom 2×2 over the top ensuring the LED is positioned in the middle.   Pull the cable up over the left side of the roof of the room, then secure it underneath the following ‘artwork’ tile pieces on top. Ensure the cable is neatly laid in between stud underneath these pieces.   Bring the cable across to the left side to connect to the 6-Port Expansion Board, then turn ON the power to test the Bit Light is working OK and flickering at the same rate as the lights on the left side.   Neaten up and eliminate excess cabling from this Bit Light by pulling the cable to the right, then twisting it into a neat bunch. Neaten up the rest of the cables running across the top by grouping them all together.     37.) Take the main roof section and flip it over so we can access underneath. Remove the LEGO light section as well as the large 4×10 plate section as shown below.   Disconnect the following pieces from the 4×10 plate, then take a Blue 30cm Bit Light and with the LED facing down, place it in between the following studs. Ensure the LED is hanging approximately 1cm over the bottom edge. Secure the Bit Light in place by reconnecting the 1×2 plate.   Take a Pink 30cm Bit Light and a Green 30cm Bit Light and place them in between the next few studs to the right with their LEDs facing down. (The order in which you place these Bit Lights does not matter). Secure the Bit Lights in place by reconnecting the two light grey clip pieces.     38.) Flip the 4×10 plate over and reconnect it to the main roof section, then carefully bend the Bit Lights down so that when you look at the back of the roof, they are shining away from you.   Place the roof section back down, then bring the three cables across to the left side. Disconnect the light grey 4x 6 plate and lay the cables underneath in between studs before reconnecting the plate over the top.     39.) Place the roof section near the house in the following position, then bring the three bit light cables from the roof panel up toward the house and connect them into the following OUT ports 1, 2, and 3 on the Sequence Effects Board we connected in step 26. (The numbers on the ports represent which order the ports activate in sequence. The port you connect each light to does not matter.)   Ensure the correct configuration is set on the sequence board. Turn ON the power to test the lights are working OK and configure the effect. Check the switch is in the top position and adjust the speed wheel as desired. The effect should mimic the R.U.N. scene where Joyce is attempting to communicate with Will. (1, 2, 3 repeat 6 times then flash all together 6 times).       40.) Bring the roof panel up on top of the house, then neatly place all the components in the following positions, with the scary flicker effects board underneath the sequence board. Ensure all cables are out of the way of the light grey technic plate on where the roof will reconnect to. Neaten up excess cables from the Blue, Pink and Green Bit Lights by twisting and folding them into a neat bunch. Neatly Tuck everything in before securely reconnecting the roof on both left and right sides.   Check that the Blue, Pink and Green lights are positioned correctly and shining onto the wall.   Note: If you experience any issues with the lights not working and suspect an issue with a component, please try a different port on the expansion board to verify where the fault lies (with the light or expansion board). To correct any issues with expansion board ports, please view the section addressing expansion board issues on our online troubleshooting guide.     41.) We will now install lights to the Upside Down. Take a 15cm Connecting Cable and connect it to another spare port on the 8-port Expansion Board on the right side of the house. Secure the cable underneath the brown angled tile, then turn the set upside down.   Lay the 15cm cable toward the front and secure it underneath the following brown angled tile at the bottom. Take the Glitter Effects Board (QPFX V1) and connect the other end of the 15cm cable to the IN port (+5V). Place the board down in the corner with the excess cable tucked underneath.     42.) Take one of the Glitter Effects Light Strings and connect it to one of the OUT ports on the Glitter Effects Board. Bring the light string across to the right and secure it underneath the following technic ball joint piece (disconnect and reconnect over the light string). Ensure the first LED on the glitter light string is laying toward the inside of the living room.   Bring the light string inside the living room and tuck it behind the dark blue couch. Bring the rest of the light string out toward the right side and secure it underneath the following technic ball joint piece (disconnect and reconnect over the light string).   Secure the light string underneath the white plate (Will’s drawing).     43.) Bring the light string across the living room and then bring it inside and tuck it in behind the black couch. Secure the light string underneath the following technic ball joint piece on the right(disconnect and reconnect over the light string). Secure the light string underneath the black round tile as well as behind the black plates of the couch.   Lay the light string inside the bedroom, ensuring you tuck it in behind the radio. Secure the light string underneath the technic ball joint piece on the right side as well as behind the torch against the right wall.     44.) Pull the Light string up the right side of the house, then using your LEGO removal tool, disconnect the roof section. Bring the light string over the top of the house, then secure it by winding the top of the light string around the brown and blue leaf pieces on the left side as shown below.   Ensuring the light string is laid in between LEGO studs, reconnect the roof section, then turn ON the power to test the glitter light string is working OK. The lights will slowly pulse on and off in sequence, to represent floating particles of the Upside Down. Note that the LEDS are designed to be a much dimmer than the rest of the LEDs in the light kit.   Note: If you experience any issues with the lights not working and suspect an issue with a component, please try a different port on the expansion board to verify where the fault lies (with the light or expansion board). To correct any issues with expansion board ports, please view the section addressing expansion board issues on our online troubleshooting guide.     45.) Take the remaining Glitter Effects Light String and connect it to the other OUT port on the Glitter Effects Board. Bring the cable up and over the left side of the tree, then secure it underneath the following brown plate on top. Ensure the first LED is laid over toward the front of the plate as shown below.   Bring the connector end of the light string down and over the brown leaf pieces. Take 2x Adhesive Squares and stick them to the back of the Glitter Effects Board, then stick the effects board to the bottom of the left wall.   Neaten up excess cable from the light string by twisting and folding it into a neat bunch, then tuck it down the side of the house. Secure the end of the first glitter light string underneath the brown angled tile.     46.) Turn the set around to the front, then bring the light string over and lay it around the following blue leaf piece.   Bring the cable across to the left side of the tree, then tuck it behind the black leaf piece.   With the light string now across the roof, secure it underneath the blue leaf piece on the right side, then bring the light string across to the other side and secure it underneath the blue leaf piece on the left side.     47.) Bring the light string up and over the top of the tree on the left side, then secure it underneath the following brown plate on the top. Bring the light string over toward the front , then tuck it down underneath the front of the leaf section, toward the front of tree.   Bring the light string down to the bottom right side of the tree, then secure it underneath the following brown plate where the brown leaf pieces are connect to. Ensure the light string is laid in between studs.     48.) Bring the light string down and then lay it across the base of the set. Secure the light string underneath the following brown and blue leaf pieces, then bring the cable across and secure the last LED underneath the black angled tile on the right side. Secure the middle of the light string underneath the light blue 1×1 tiles as shown below.     Secure the light string on the left side of the house underneath the black whip piece on the left pillar. Turn the power ON to test the light string is working OK.     49.) Flip the set back over to the top side, then take Chief Hoppers Car and reconnect it to the front of the set. If you chose to tether the car lights to the house lights rather than the Flat Battery Pack, then bring the other end of the 15cm Connecting Cable from the vehicle around to the back of the set, and connect it to a spare port on the 8-Port Expansion Board on the left side of the house.   Turn the power ON to test all the lights are working together OK.   Note: If you experience any issues with the lights not working and suspect an issue with a component, please try a different port on the expansion board to verify where the fault lies (with the light or expansion board).

Important things to note:

Laying cables in between and underneath bricks

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

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

Connecting cable connectors to Expansion Boards

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

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

Connecting cable connectors to Strip Lights

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

Connecting Micro Cable connectors to Micro Expansion Board Ports

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

Installing Bit Lights under LEGO® bricks and plates.

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

 

OK, Let’s Begin!

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

Important things to note:

Laying cables in between and underneath bricks

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

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

Connecting cable connectors to Expansion Boards

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

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

Connecting cable connectors to Strip Lights

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

Connecting Micro Cable connectors to Micro Expansion Board Ports

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

Installing Bit Lights under LEGO® bricks and plates.

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

 

OK, Let’s Begin!

  1.) We will first install lights to the post office truck. Disconnect the following sections surrounding the front and back of the truck as shown below:   Disconnect the two headlight sections and disassemble one of them as shown below     2.) Take a White 15cm Micro Bit Light and with the cable facing the same way as the tap, place the LED inside the plate underneath. Ensuring the LED is facing the correct way up, secure the Bit Light in place by reconnecting the trans clear round plate.   Reconnect the tap piece to the dark grey plate with clip ensuring you secure the cable underneath the clip as shown below, then reconnect this headlight to the front of the truck.   Repeat this process to install another White 15cm Micro Bit Light to the other headlight, before reconnecting it to the front of the truck.     3.) Lay both cables in between studs leading to the back of the truck, then secure them in place by reconnecting all the pieces we removed earlier over the top.   Connect the Bit Lights to the Micro 4-Port Expansion Board. Take the Flat Battery Pack and insert 2x NEW CR2032 Batteries inside. Connect the Battery Pack cable to the larger port on the expansion board, then turn it ON to test if the headlights are working OK. IMPORTANT NOTE: Flat and Round Battery Packs (CR2032) have been removed as of June 2022 due to child safety regulations.  To test the lights, connect the 50cm Connecting Cable to a spare Expansion Board. Take the AA Battery Pack and with new batteries inserted, connect it to the expansion board. Turn the battery pack ON to test if all is working ok.  Once tested, disconnect the Expansion Board and AA Battery Pack and set them aside.   Note: If you experience any issues with the lights not working and suspect an issue with a component, please try a different port on the expansion board to verify where the fault lies (with the light or expansion board). To correct any issues with expansion board ports, please view the section addressing expansion board issues on our online troubleshooting guide.     4.) Turn the truck over so we can access underneath of it, then disconnect the 4×6 plate.   Stick 2x Adhesive Squares onto the back of the Flat Battery Pack, then stick it it underneath the truck with the switch facing the back.   Disconnect the rear wheel section and lay the battery pack cable underneath, before reconnecting it over the top, securing the cable.     5.) We will now install the rear lights to the truck. First disconnect this section and disconnect the trans red round plates.   Take another White 15cm Micro Bit Light and place the LED facing up over the top of one of the grey studs. Secure the Bit Light in place by reconnecting one of the trans red round plates over the top, then repeat this step to install another White 15cm Micro Bit Light to the other rear light.     6.) Tuck the bit light cables underneath this section, then before we reconnect this to the back of the truck, lay the battery pack cable in between studs as shown below:   Connect the two Bit Lights to the Micro 4-Port Expansion Board, then turn the battery pack ON to test the rear lights are working OK.     7.) Neaten up the cables by twisting and folding them together into a neat bunch. Place the components directly in front of the light grey back piece before reconnecting the main carriage section.   Test all lights are working OK.     8.) We will now install lights to the gazebo. First lift up the four roof sections, then disconnect the 2x trans red round plates from the front.   Take a Flashing White 15cm Bit Light and with the cable facing the outside, place it over the left stud. Secure it in place by reconnecting the trans red round plate over the top.   Thread the bit light cable through the space in the centre of the roof. Turn the section around to the back and pull the cable all the way out.     9.) Repeat the previous step to install another Flashing White 15cm Bit Light to the right side and pulling it out from the back side.   Connect both cables to a 6-Port Expansion Board,  then turn the set back around to the front and push close the centre roof panel.     10.)  Turn the set around to the back again and using the same method as we did for the front lights, install another 2x Flashing White 15cm Bit Lights to the back except this time, ensure the cables are facing the middle .   Connect both lights to the 6-Port Expansion Board, then take the 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 flashing lights are working OK.   Note: If you experience any issues with the lights not working and suspect an issue with a component, please try a different port on the expansion board to verify where the fault lies (with the light or expansion board). To correct any issues with expansion board ports, please view the section addressing expansion board issues on our online troubleshooting guide.     11.) We will now install another flashing light to the star. First disconnect all the lights from the expansion board, then completely disconnect the gazebo roof. Disconnect the star and disassemble this section as shown below.   Take a Flashing White 15cm Bit Light and thread the connector side of the cable through the hole at the front of the Star piece. Flatten the bit light so that it sits flat, then secure it in place by reconnecting the trans red round plate over the top.   Turn the star over and reconnect the other trans red round plate to the back of it, then reconnect the star to the black round brick.   Loop the cable underneath the black brick, ensuring you lay it in between the gaps, then reconnect it to the green plate.     12.) Turn the roof around to the back, then reconnect the star section ensuring the cable from this light is also facing the back.   Slide the bit light cable from the star down behind the roof panel, then flip the roof over and connect the bit light cable (from the star) to a White Strip Light   Take a 5cm Connecting Cable and connect it to the other port on the Strip Light, then using it’s adhesive backing, stick the strip light underneath the roof in the following position: Ensure the 5cm cable is facing the back along with the rest of the cables.     13.) Flip the roof back over, then reconnect it to the gazebo. Connect all 5 cables (4 from the roof and the 5cm cable) as well as the AA Battery Pack Cable to the 6-Port Expansion Board. Turn ON the battery pack to test all the lights installed to the gazebo are working OK.   Disconnect the AA Battery Pack, then neaten up cables by twisting and folding them all together into a neat bunch   Take the 30cm Connecting Cable and connect it to the remaining port on the expansion board, then using 2x Adhesive Squares, stick the expansion board to the roof on the right side as shown below.   Bring the bunched up cables inside toward the centre, then close all the roof panels.     14.) Bring the other end of the 30cm Connecting Cable down the back right post and wind it around toward the bottom. Turn the gazebo back around to the front and reposition it back to the right of the post office.     15.) We will now install lights to the post office starting with the lamp post. First disconnect the lamp post and disassemble it as per below.   Take a White 15cm Bit Light and with the LED facing up, place it in the centre of the black plate. Secure the Bit Light in place by reconnecting the trans clear minifig head over it, followed by the larger trans clear cover.   Reconnect this section the lamp post ensuring the cable is facing the same way as the back of the lamp post, then reconnect the lamp post to the set.     16.) Turn the set around, then carefully remove the second level on the right side by lifting it up at the dark tan base as shown below.   Disconnect the following angled tile, then bring the lamp post cable across to the left and lay it around the stud underneath, before reconnecting the angled tile over the top.   Connect the Bit Light to the end port on a new 6-Port Expansion Board. Take the AA Battery Pack and connect it to another spare port on the expansion board, then turn it ON to test the lamp post 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.     17.) Take the second level of the post office and lift up the two sides of the roof, then disconnect the table from the inside. Turn the level around to the front and disconnect the lower level roof section with lights as shown below:   Disassemble the lower roof section as shown below, then take out a Flashing White 15cm Bit Light, and with the cable facing up, place it over the left stud on the brown ‘L’ plate. Secure the Bit Light in place by reconnecting one of the trans red round plates over the top.   Install another 2x Flashing White 15cm Bit Lights to this section, securing them in place by reconnecting the other trans red and trans yellow round plates.     18.) Take the light grey brick and reconnect it to the front of the second level, then take one of the Bit Light cables and thread it through the front open stud on the grey brick. Pull the cable out from the inside of the building as shown below:   Thread the other two Bit Light cables through the same hole, one at a time, then pull all three cables all the way out from the inside of the room and reconnect the brown ‘L’ plate to the grey brick.     19.) From the back of the set, twist the three cables around each other all the way to the ends so they come together forming one larger cable, then connect them all to a new 6-Port Expansion Board. Disconnect the AA Battery Pack from the bottom floor and connect it to this expansion board. Turn it ON to test the three lights at the front of this level 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 Battery Pack and connect 2x 15cm Connecting Cables to the 6-Port Expansion Board. Connect the other end of one of the 15cm Cables to a White Strip Light.     20.) Connect a new 15cm Connecting Cable to the other end of the White Strip Light from the previous step, then using it’s adhesive backing, stick the Strip Light to the top of the left roof panel ensuring the 15cm cable we just connected is facing the back (toward you).   Tuck the 15cm Connecting Cable facing the front, down behind the left side of the middle section..     21.) Turn this section around to the front, then take a White 15cm Bit Light and with the LED facing down and cable facing the back, place it just over the top of the door frame as shown below:   Take the second level and reconnect it to the building, over the bit light cable. Looking from underneath, push the bit light inside the brown stud hole in the middle. The LED should be just peaking out over the top of the front door frame as shown below.   Turn the set around to the back and connect the Bit Light cable from the front door to the 6-Port Expansion Board on the second level.     21.) Neatly place the 6-Port Expansion against the wall, then neaten up all the cables by folding and twisting them around each other into a neat bunch. Tuck the bunched up cables in against the wall before reconnecting the table ensuring the front door bit light is laid in between studs underneath.   Secure the 15cm Connecting Cable from the Strip Light underneath the following brown 1×6 plate on the left. Ensure the cable is secured closer toward the bottom as shown below, then fold in the two roof panels.   Bring the 15cm Connecting Cable from the 6-port expansion board on the second level down and connect it to the 6-Port Expansion Board on the ground floor. Connect the AA Battery Pack to the same expansion board, then turn it ON to test all the lights installed so far are working OK.   Note: If you experience any issues with the lights not working and suspect an issue with a component, please try a different port on the expansion board to verify where the fault lies (with the light or expansion board). To correct any issues with expansion board ports, please view the section addressing expansion board issues on our online troubleshooting guide.     22.) Reconnect the two roof pieces above the front door lights, then turn the set around to the back again for us to install a light to inside of the ground floor.   Take a White 15cm Bit Light and with the cable facing toward you and the LED facing down, place it in the centre, underneath the base plate of the second floor.

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.

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.)

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.
