  • Page 2 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.
  • Page 3 CAUTION: Forcing LEGO® to connect over a cable can result in damaging the cable and light. 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.
  • Page 4 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 “=”...
  • Page 5 WARNING: Incorrectly inserting the connector can result in bent pins inside the port or possible overheating of the expansion board when connected. Installing Bit Lights under LEGO® bricks and plates. When installing Bit Lights under LEGO® pieces, ensure they are placed the correct way up (Yellow LED component exposed).
  • Page 7 OK, Let’s Begin! Instructions for installing this kit 1.) This lighting kit is installed from the bottom up. Start by opening the building and removing the 2nd and top levels of the modular building.
  • Page 9 We will be installing lights to the traffic light first. Remove the traffic light and pole, then disassemble the traffic light starting from the left yellow plate.
  • Page 11 2.) Take 1 bit light and thread the connector side through the first hole on the side of the black traffic light piece as shown below. Pull the bit light all the way through from the base of the traffic light piece until the LED is at the top of the hole, then secure it in place by connecting one of the provided red trans round plates over the top.
  • Page 13 Repeat this step to install another bit light to the next hole on the traffic light piece this time, using the provided orange trans round plate to secure the bit light.
  • Page 14 3.) To install the green light, take another bit light and then place it directly over the stud with the LED facing up. Then secure it in place by connecting the provided green trans round plate directly over the top.
  • Page 15 4.) Reconnect the black 1×2 plate we removed earlier as well as the yellow 1×3 tile ensuring the cables are laid in between and underneath the Lego pieces.
  • Page 16 5.) Reconnect the traffic light with lights installed to the pole and then take the 3 cables and wind them around each other so they all come together as one thick cable.
  • Page 17 Thread the cable around the top of the pole as shown below before reconnecting the pole back to the base plate.
  • Page 18 6.) Take the battery pack and insert 3x AA batteries to it. Connect the battery cable into the top port of the 4-port traffic light board as shown below.
  • Page 19 Ensure the effect switch is at the label “3”. (The other option “2” is for a 2-light traffic lights effect which we don’t for this) Connect the 3 cables from the traffic light into the ports on the traffic light board labelled “G”, “Y”...
  • Page 20 At this point you may be thinking, “Great, I’ve just mixed up my 3 cables, how am I meant to know which cable is for which port?” The only way is to turn on the battery pack and seeing which light comes on for which port we connect to.
  • Page 21 7.) We can now remove the battery pack cable from the top traffic light board (as we only connected this to test the traffic light board). Replace this with a 15cm connecting cable, then connect the other end to the first port on the 12-port expansion board Take 4x adhesive squares and stick 2 to each board.
