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:...
Page 7
Disconnect the two headlight sections and disassemble one of them as shown below...
Page 8
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.
Page 9
Repeat this process to install another White 15cm Micro Bit Light to the other headlight, before reconnecting it to the front of the truck.
Page 10
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.
Page 11
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 the headlights are working OK.

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.
Page 13
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.
Page 14
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.
Page 16
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.
Page 17
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.
Page 18
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.
Page 19
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.
Page 20
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.
Page 21
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 .
Page 22
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. N ote: 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).

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.
Page 24
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.
Page 25
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.
Page 26
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...
