Important things to note:
Important things to note:
Laying cables in between and underneath bricks
Cables can t 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 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 t easily into a port connector, don’t force it. Doing so will
damage the plug and the connector.

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 t easily into a port
connector, do not force it.
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). You can either place them
directly on top of LEGO® studs or in between.

Instructions for installing this kit
1.) We will start with installation of the lights to the street lamps.
Firstremove the two round globes from the street lamp and then
disassemble pieces as per below:

2.) Take one bit light and then thread the connector side of the light
through the large hole of the trans yellow round brick. Pull the cable
through from the other side and then thread it through the large hole
of the black plate.
Pull the cable all the way through until the LED component is right up
against the inside of the trans yellow brick. Then secure the black plate over
the top as shown in example image below.

Reconnect the two clear pieces that make up the lamp bulb and discard the
round red plate that connects underneath as we will be needing this.
Reconnect the lamp bulb with bit light installed back to the lamp pole.
Repeat the above process to install another bit light to the second street
lamp.

3.) Turn the street lamp to the other side and then take the two
cablesfrom the lights and twist them around each other so that the
two cables come together forming one large cable.
Tuck the cable behind the decoration and then wind the cables around the
street lamp pole before connecting them into the rst few ports of the 8-port
expansion board.

4.) We will now light up the lamp at the front door of the shop. First
weneed to remove the lamp and black plate underneath it from the
shop by carefully lifting up the surrounding bricks above.
Once we have removed this lamp section, disassemble the pieces as per
below:

5.) Take another bit light and thread the connector side of the light
through the large hole of the trans yellow brick (exactly the same way
as we did for the street lamps). Pull the cable all the way through from
the other side until the LED is right up against the inside of the trans
yellow brick.
6.) Reconnect the black round plate on the top of the trans yellow
brickand then reconnect the trans yellow brick back to the black plate
below.
The bit light cable should be facing toward the back as shown below.

7.) Reconnect this lamp section with bit light installed back to the
shopfront wall ensuring we rst thread the connector end of the cable
through to the inside of the shop.
We also need to ensure that the cable is neatly laid in between studs before
reconnecting.
8.) Pull the cable through from the inside of the shop and then lay itdown
behind the train as per below. You can use sticky tape, like what I have
done, to secure the cable and prevent it from moving around.

Connect this cable into the next available port on the expansion board.
Then wind excess cable around the expansion board.
9.) Next, take the LED strip light and connect the 15cm connecting cable
into the right port. Then mount the strip light to the bottom of the
second oor, (either directly or onto a 1x6 plate rst) under the clock.

Connect the other end of the 15 cm cable to the next available port on the
expansion board.
10.) We will now install one of the Multi Colour Changing Light Strings onto
the roof, starting with the left side.
First remove the white 2x6 plate on the left side and then lay down the light
string (from the end of the cable) by following the green arrows as shown
below. Reconnect the white plate over the top ensuring the cable is laid in
between studs. Take caution and ensure that we do not connect the plate
directly over each LED.

11.) Lay the rest of the cable down on the other side of this roof
(following the green arrows below) and secure down by connecting the 2x6
plate on the other side directly over the top of the light string as shown
below.

12.) Lay the remaining light string across the roof of the next sectionand
secure it down underneath the 2x4 plate as shown below. The end of
the light string cable should now be facing the inside of the Toy Shop.
13.) Pull the end of the cable across the back of the Toy Shop and
thendown the side before connecting it into the next available port of
the expansion board.

14.) Take another Multi Colour Changing Light String and lay it down on the
roof of the right section of the shop starting from the left. Follow the
green arrows in the images below to ensure the light string is neatly
laid in between studs before reconnecting the white 2x10 plates
directly over the top.
15.) Wind the remaining length of the light string around the chimneyand
then secure it in place by threading the end of the cable down behind
the cable we just wound.

Connect this light string into the next available port of the expansion board.
16.) We can now secure the expansion board to the left corner of theinside
of the Toy Shop by using the self adhesive squares to mount directly
onto the oor. Next, neaten up any excess cabling by tucking them
around and behind the expansion board.

17.) We can now move onto lighting the Christmas tree. Take the nalMulti
Colour Changing Light String and thread the end of the string through
the hole in the Christmas tree star. Carefully bend the string down after
the rst light, to hook it in and prevent it from falling out.

18.) Wind the light string evenly around the Christmas tree as perbelow.
The light string should sit neatly between the trans yellow bricks and
green plates of the tree.
19.) Once we have wound the light string evenly around the Christmastree,
connect it into the next port on the expansion board.

20.) Lastly, take the Battery Pack and insert 3x AA batteries to it
beforeconnecting the battery cable into the last remaining port on the
expansion board.
This now completes installation of the Winter Toy Shop LED Lighting Kit.
Turn on and ENJOY!
