- Page 1 Note: Place wires on the surface or under the LEGO building blocks. The wire can be place between the building blocks or under the block, but they should be placed between the studs correctly. Insert the connectors to the ports.
- Page 2 and don’t force it, for that may result in bent pins inside the port or overheating of the expansion board. At this point, use the tweezers to straighten the bent pins. When installing dot lights, make sure they are correctly placed (Yellow LED package is exposed). You can put they either on the top of the studs or between studs.
- Page 3 Finally, please pay attention to the positive and negative terminals of the battery when installing the battery case. OK, Let’s Begin!
- Page 4 Instructions for installing this kit This section will guide you to install light to the fire truck first. 1) Start by removing the following pieces to allow us to remove one of the headlight sections from the front. Remove the trans yellow round plate and then take one White 15cm Dot Light and thread the connector side through the front hole of the red brick as per below.
- Page 5 就 Turn the fire truck onto its side and thread the dot light cable over the wheel. Pull all the way through from the other side of the wheel. Reconnect the red piece we removed at the start.
- Page 6 Repeat this process to install another White 15cm Dot Light to the other side of the fire engine. 2.) Turn over again and remove the two grey 1x6 plates. Thread the cable up to the back section of the fire truck and pull all the way up from the top. Secure the cable by reconnecting the 1x6 plate we removed earlier.
- Page 7 Repeat this process to feed the other cable up to the back section. 3.) Remove the following sections to give us more room to access the back of the truck.
- Page 8 4.) We will now install the back lights. Start by removing the 2 back light sections and then disassemble pieces as per below 5.) Take another White 15cm Dot Light and place the LED component directly over the stud of the red plate with clip.
- Page 9 6.) Feed the wire behind and in between the grey stud before reconnecting the grey brick with bar over the top. Repeat this process to install another White 15cm Dot Light to the other side. 7.) We will now install a flashing light to the top of the truck. Remove this section and then disassemble pieces as per below...
- Page 10 Take a White 15cm Flashing Dot Light and thread the connecting side through the large hole of the trans red round brick. Pull the cable all the way through from the other side until the LED component is right up against the inside of the brick. Reconnect the grey plate with clip to the trans red piece and then reconnect this section back to the black frame.
- Page 11 8. ) Take the 8-Port Expansion Board and then connect cables from the 2 back lights as well as the flashing light to the ports as per below. 9. ) Wind the cables around the board 3 times or until the expansion board is close to the connectors from the headlights and then connect these two cables from the headlights to the next available ports.
- Page 12 11.) Take the Flat Battery Pack and insert 2x CR2032 batteries into it. Thread the battery pack cable up underneath the truck into the back section and then pull up from the top.
- Page 13 12. ) Using 2x self adhesive squares, mount the battery pack underneath the truck with the battery pack switch facing toward the back. This completes installation of the light kit for the fire truck. Turn on the battery pack and ensure all lights are working.
- Page 14 2. ) Replace the stock lamp post with the Vonado lamp post with Dot Light installed then carefully bend the corner of the base plate down so that it comes apart from the front wall.
- Page 15 Thread the lamp post cable underneath the front wall and then pull it all the way through from the inside of the building. Ensure the cable is laid neatly in a straight line in between the studs of the base plate.
- Page 16 4.) In order for us to thread the cable through to the inside of the building we will need to make a gap in between bricks. Using the LEGO removal tool, lift up this section of the wall to create an opening.
- Page 17 Reconnect the blue light section and then thread the cable in through the gap we have just created. Pull the cable through from the inside of the building. Ensure the cable is laid in between studs before then closing the gap of the wall and connecting everything back together.
- Page 18 Remove one of the door lamp sections and disconnect the lamp pieces as per below...
- Page 19 6.) Take White 30cm Dot Light and thread the connector side of the cable through the large hole of the trans yellow round brick. Pull the cable all the way through from the other side until the LED component is right up against the inside of the brick. Reconnect the lamp shade piece to the trans yellow brick, securing it in place.
- Page 20 Repeat this step to install another White 30cm Dot Light to the door lamp on the right side. 7. ) Reconnect the surrounding LEGO pieces we removed earlier. 8. ) We will now install a light above the gold fireman hats on each side of the front. First, remove a few of the tile pieces and then disconnect the grey 2x4 plate.
- Page 21 bottom of the 2x4 plate. Hold the cable in place before then reconnecting this plate back to the wall. Ensure the dot light is in place and cable is laid behind. You should be able to see the LED component peaking out from the front.
- Page 22 Take a Red 30cm Flashing Dot Light and thread the connector side through the large hold of the trans red round brick. Pull it all the way through from the other side until the LED component is right up against the inside of the brick. Insert the grey bar with mechanical clip into the smaller hole of the trans red round brick.
- Page 23 Repeat this process to install another Red 30cm Flashing Dot Light to the provided replacement pieces and then reconnect them to the wall as shown below. Thread the cable for the light on the left up through spacing of the stair case as per below 10.) Take the 12-Port Expansion board and then connect the cables from the dot lights above the gold fireman hats to the ports on the right.
- Page 24 Wind the cables around the expansion board 2–3 times and then take the cables from the door lamps and connect them to the next available ports. Wind all 4 cables around the expansion board 4–5 more times. 11.) Stick 2x adhesive squares to the back of the expansion board and then mount the expansion board to the inside of the wall in the following position.
- Page 25 13.) It’s time to neaten up the cabling. Do your best to hide all the excess cabling underneath the LEGO tiles on the top of the floor ensuring your cables are neatly laid in between the studs as shown below.
- Page 26 14.) Take the two cables from the flashing red lights and connect them to the next available ports on the expansion board then eliminate excess cabling by hiding them underneath LEGO tiles on the top. 15.) It is now time to test our current lighting we have installed so far. Take the AA Battery Pack and...
- Page 27 Take the top floor (without the roof) and turn it onto it’s back and then mount/stick (depending on whether you are using LEGO plates to mount) the Strip Lights to the following positions underneath the top floor.
- Page 28 17.) Take a 30cm Connecting Cable and connect this to the left port of striplight#1. Thread the other side of this cable up through the spacing between the bottom step and wall which leads to the top floor. Pull the cable up from the inside of the top floor.
- Page 29 Take a LED Strip Light (striplight#3) and stick it to the following position underneath this section. I’ve chosen to stick the strip light rather than mount using LEGO plate as I don’t want the strip light to be...
- Page 30 too visible. 20.) Take a 15cm connecting cable and connect it to the right port of the striplight#3 and then connect the 30cm cable we pulled up from the level below to the left port 21.) Reconnect this section back to the top of the building ensuring the cables are laid behind.
- Page 31 22.) To prevent the 30cm cable from being seen from the outside looking in, secure this under the grey tile on the back left of the top floor as per below. 23.) Take another 2x LED Strip Lights (striplight#4 and striplight#5) and connect them together using another 15cm Connecting Cable.
- Page 32 25.) Take the AA Battery Pack and place it on the roof in the following position. Lift up a few of the dark grey Lego pieces surrounding the door and then thread the battery cable down below in between this gap.
- Page 33 Connect the battery pack cable to the left port on striplight#4 and then secure everything back in place before then reconnecting the roof. This now completes installation of the Vonado LED light kit for the LEGO Fire Brigade. Turn the battery pack ‘ON’ and ENJOY!
