Start by removing the following Lego pieces which make up the roof and windscreen, followed by the black Lego plates and tiles from the front bonnet.
  • Page 6 2.)Disconnect from each side of the car, the black 1 x 1 brick with the transparent yellow plate attached. Remove the yellow plate from the black brick and take 1x White 15cm Bit Light and using the connector end of the cable of the LED, thread this through the hole of the front of the black brick.
  • Page 7 Repeat this step for the other head light of the car using another White 15cm Bit Light. 3.) Reconnect the 2 head lights back to the front of the car ensuring the cables for the lights are facing up.
  • Page 8 4.) Next step is to remove the following Lego pieces from the car so that we can lay the cables from the headlights underneath and all the way to the back.
  • Page 9 5.) Thread the 2 cables through the small holes behind the front seats, 1 cable through each hole. Ensure the cables are laid on the side of each of the brown Lego studs 6.) Start securing the cables down by reconnecting back Lego plates and tiles over the top. Before doing so, ensure that the cables are laid in between studs exactly the same way as the below images.
  • Page 10 We can now also reconnect the Lego pieces which make up the front of the dash board, side mirrors, and front windscreen. 8.) In order to hide the rest of the contents from this lighting kit in the back section of the car, we will be removing and discarding the following pieces.
  • Page 11 First, turn the car around to the back and remove the back bumper with tail lights attached, followed by the boot cover.
  • Page 12 9.) Continue to remove the following pieces from the back of the car. 10.) Turn the car over and remove the following pieces.
  • Page 13 11.) Remove the 2 grey bricks with plates attached below, then separate these pieces and hang on to the 2 grey plates. 12.) Remove the following pieces from the rear wheels and then connect to the axle, the 2 grey pieces we kept in the previous step in the following position.
  • Page 14 13.) We are now ready to install the 2 tail lights. Take the bumper with lights attached and remove the 2 transparent red plates. Take another White 15cm Bit Light and place it in between the 2 grey studs. Secure this LED in place by reconnecting a transparent red plate over the top.

  • Page 23 Installation of this Police Car lighting kit is now complete..Lighting The Kwik E Mart This Lego tool will be required as it will be used to remove the roof of the Kwik-E-Mart as well as other Lego pieces. 1.) We will install lights starting from the right sections (store room) of the Kwik-E-Mart.
  • Page 24 2.) We will be installing the battery pack to the “store room”. Remove the following Lego bricks to allow enough space for the battery pack to...
  • Page 25 Take the battery pack and insert 3x AA batteries, then place it down the spacing in between the walls. Ensure the battery pack is inserted in the exact position per below, as the “on-o ” switch will need to be accessible by opening the back door.
  • Page 26 Reconnect the pieces we removed earlier. 3.) Take one 30cm connecting cable and connect it to the left port of an LED strip light (striplight#1). Connect the battery cable to the right port of this strip light.
  • Page 27 Take the roof of this section and ip it over then connect/stick the strip light in the following position. Ensure that you loop the 30cm cable above and then underneath the strip light so that it is not visible from the inside of the store.
  • Page 28 5.) Take 1 of the White 30cm Bit Lights and attach it to the bottom of the 2 x 6 Lego brick using one of the provided double sided adhesive squares. Stick it in the following position as pictured below. We will identify this light as fridge#1.
  • Page 29 7.) Re-attach the roof as follows ensuring that the 30cm cable is pulled between the walls and out the same side as the cable from fridge#1. 8.) Use the Lego removal tool to remove the main roof section at the following sections.
  • Page 30 9.) We will continue to install lights to the next lot of fridges. Start by removing the following pieces. 10.) Take another White 30cm Bit Light (fridge#2) and attach it using another adhesive square in the following position. Reconnect this brick with cable facing up.
  • Page 31 11.) Install another White 30cm Bit Light for fridge#3 using the same method as above and following these images. 12.) Before we install the 4th fridge light, we need to remove one of the red piece items o the top shelf to prevent the light from being blocked out.
  • Page 32 Remove the red Lego piece on the far left and then reconnect the shelf. Reconnect the blue Lego pieces we removed while taking anotherWhite 30cm Bit Light and install it in the following position (fridge#4).
  • Page 33 13.) Pull the 30cm cable and cable from fridge#1 across and secure them down by connecting back the yellow 2x3 brick over the top ensuring the cables are laid in between studs. 14.) We will now install a ashing light to the Video camera. Remove the video camera from its connector and place it down.
  • Page 34 15.) Take 1 Flashing Red 30cm Bit Light and using the connector end of the cable, thread it through the hole at the top back of the camera. Pull it through from the bottom of the camera all the way until the LED component part is sitting at against the top of the hole.
  • Page 35 Connect the video camera back to its original position then secure the video camera cable in place by connecting the blue1 x 2 Lego piece over the top. Ensure cables are laid in between studs before connecting bricks over them. 15.) Take the cables from video#1, fridge#2,, 3 and 4 and connect them all to one of the 12-port expansion boards.
  • Page 36 Group the 4 cables together and twist them around each other so that they all form one large cable. Wind the cables around the board until you have about 8–10 cm of slack.
  • Page 37 16.) Connect the 30 cm cable and cable from fridge#1 into the next available ports on the expansion board. 17.) Wind the rest of the cables around each the expansion board as much as possile and then squeeze the expansion board on top of the fridges in between the blue and yellow bricks.
  • Page 38 18.) Take a 15cm cable and connect it into a spare port on the expansion board. 19.) We can test our current lighting circuit as you go by simply turning on the battery pack. This is a good idea as you want to ensure all is working before you connect back bricks into original positions.
  • Page 39 side under the roof. Sticking the strip light using it’s adhesive backing is recommended for this part rather than sticking to 1x6 lego plates. Then take another 30cm cable and connect it to the right port. Take another strip light (striplight#3) and stick it to the following position on the right side of the roof (using the strip light’s adhesive backing).
  • Page 40 21.)We will now install the 2 billboard lights which point to the “Kwik- E-Mart” sign. Locate the following Lego pieces which have been included in this set.
  • Page 41 Connect the 1x1 plates with clips onto each of the spear gun pieces then using some scissors snip o the pointed end at the following position. YES, we will need to cut this piece in order for it to clip in securely to the roof.
  • Page 42 24.) Connect the Lego technic pins into the 1x1 bricks with holes, then thread the other end of the one of the bit lights through the pin and out the other side of the 1x1 brick. Repeat this for the other technic pin and brick so that you have two billboard lights.
  • Page 43 25.) Take the 2 billboard lights and connect them to the following positions under the roof.
  • Page 44 Lift the main section so that underneath of the roof is facing us. Hide the cables from the billboard lights underneath the grey Lego plates by rst removing them and then reconnecting them over the cables ensuring they are laid in between studs. This now completes the roof lighting.
  • Page 45 27.) Take the long blue section and turn it over with the white brick facing toward the right. Take 1x Flashing White 30cm Bit Light and 1x Flashing Red 30cm Bit Light and stick it to the following positions using the provided self adhesive squares. It does not matter which one is on the left or right.
  • Page 46 28.) Take the 2 cables from the ashgame#1 and 2 and pull them up towards the other end of the store. Take another 30cm cable and lay the cable along side the other 2 cables. Leave about 3cm of free cable sticking out the front.
  • Page 47 29.) Connect the roof lights to the rest of the circuit by rst placing the main roof section on top of the building and connecting the 15cm cable cable from 12-port expansion board to the left port on lightstrip#2. Then connect the 2 cables from the billboard lights into the expansion board.
  • Page 48 30.) Reconnect the main roof section back to the rest of the building ensuring that all cables are pushed behind their lights and over the front wall. This part is a little tricky and may take a few goes to ensure all cables are hidden behind and the roof is fully connected to the top of the walls.
  • Page 49 31) Turn the building around. You will notice messy cables from the billboard lights hanging down from the other side. We will hide these by rst removing the grey Lego walls of the roof, laying the cables in between the black Lego studs below, and then reconnecting the grey walls over the top.
  • Page 50 Now let’s turn on the battery pack to test the lights we have just installed.
  • Page 51 32.) Let’s install lights to the left back section. Remove the roof using the Lego removal tool the same way we removed the other roof sections. 33.) We will start with the 2nd video camera. Remove this section and install another Flashing Red 30cm Bit Light (video#2) the same we did for video#1.
  • Page 52 35.) Detach the donut section (glass section) from the counter and then install a White 30cm Bit Light underneath the orange donut sign in the following position. Stick this LED using one of the provided adhesive squares. Secure the cable by pulling it toward the right underneath the donut sign and in between the studs of the glass piece.
  • Page 53 36.) Detach the hotdog display (at the cream Lego plates) from the counter and remove the grey 1 x 4 Lego piece from the top back. Using another adhesive square, stick another White 30cm Bit Light to the bottom of this Lego piece in the following position.
  • Page 54 Secure this by ensuring the cable is facing the exact way as per above and laying it underneath the grey plates in between the studs of the glass window piece underneath. 37.) Turn the counter over and remove the 2 orange Lego plates from the back of the counter.
  • Page 55 Reconnect this whole section back to the base of the shop...
  • Page 56 39.) We will be laying the cables from the hotdog and donut lights down and then underneath the 2 fridges behind. Start by removing the following pieces to then allow us to remove the fridge doors and shelves.
  • Page 57 40.) Start with the hotdog light cable and pull it toward the back in between the studs of the grey base plate and then connect the shelves over the top ensuring that the cable is pulled up from behind it and then to the right.
  • Page 58 Reconnect the fridge doors and blue Lego 2 x 6 piece and 1 x 2 piece. Take the left 2 x 6 piece and turn it on its side. 42.) Take another White 30cm Bit Light (fridge#5) and stick it using an adhesive square in the following position before reconnecting this piece back .
  • Page 59 Reconnect another blue Lego brick ensuring the cables are laid underneath. 43.) Install another White 30cm Bit Light to the bottom the last blue 2 x 6 Lego brick in the following position before reconnecting the piece back.
  • Page 60 Ensure all cables are pulled to the right underneath the blue Lego bricks. 44.) Take the cables from ashgame#1 and 2 as well as the 30cm cable and then pull them across to the other side. Lay them in between studs and then secure them down by reconnecting the blue Lego 2x3 brick over the top.
  • Page 61 46.) Take the cables from the hotdog stand and donut light and then connect them into the next available ports. 47.) Take the cables from video#2 and fridge#5 and 6 and then twist them together so that they form one large cable.
  • Page 62 Connect these 3 cables into the next available ports on the expansion board, them wind them around the expansion board to eliminate excess cable. 48.) Take the nal 30cm connecting cable and then connect this into a spare port on the expansion board.
  • Page 63 49.) Neatly place the expansion board and all cables into the corner space in between the fridges and wall ensure the 30cm cable is left out. 50.) Pull the 30cm cable back up to the other side and then secure this down by disconnecting the blue 2x3 brick and then reconnecting it over the top of all 4 cables.
  • Page 64 51.) Ensure the rest of the cables are neatly tucked in between the walls before reconnecting back the roof section. 52.) Take the centre roof piece and place it on its side so that we can access underneath of it. Take 4x Strip Lights and use the adhesive backing to stick them onto the provided LEGO 1x6 Plates.
  • Page 65 Secure the 15cm cables underneath the strip lights by looping them and laying them underneath. (If you aren’t using 1 x 6 bricks you will have to glue the strip lights over the cables with super glue) 53.) Finally, connect the centre roof section lights to the rest of the lighting circuit by taking the hanging 30cm cable and connecting it to the left port of the striplight in the top corner. Place the centre piece back to the top of the roof in its original position.
