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.
CAUTION: Forcing LEGO® to connect over a cable can result in damaging the cable and light.
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 fit easily into a port connector, do
not force it.

Incorrectly inserting the connector can can result in bent pins inside the port or possible
overheating of the expansion board when connected.
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 fit easily into a port connector,
don’t force it. Doing so will damage the plug and the connector.
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.

OK, Let’s Begin!
1.) We will first install lights to the cockpit. Start by disconnecting the roof section on each side,
then disconnect the following middle sections as shown below:

Disassemble the middle section as shown below, then take the red and trans dark clear pieces.

Slip the Bit Light Cable in between the two centre arched bricks, then lay it out toward the back
before reconnecting the grey 2×3 plate over the top of the cables. Ensure the cable is laid in
between studs.

4.) Connect the cables from the three bit lights we have just installed to a 6Port Expansion
Board. Take your USB Power Cable and connect it to the expansion board. Connect the USB
end to a USB Power Bank (sold separately) and turn it ON to test the lights are working OK.
Note: 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). To correct any issues with expansion board ports, please
view the section addressing expansion board issues on our online troubleshooting guide.

Disconnect the USB Power Cable from the expansion board, then reconnect the middle section
back to the front of the ship. Neaten up the wiring and eliminate excess cable from the Bit Lights
by grouping them together and twisting/folding them together into a neat bunch as shown
below. Place the expansion board in to the middle section behind.

5.) Remove cabin roof as well upper cannon section, then take a 15cm Connecting Cable and
connect it to the 6-Port Expansion Board.
Bring the other end of the 15cm Connecting Cable toward the back, then slip it in between the
middle and side sections as shown below.

Disconnect the following white square plate and lay the cable in between studs underneath,
before reconnecting the square plate over the top.

6.) Open the lower compartment, then bring the cable out the side to connectto the first port
on a 12-Port Expansion Board

Reconnect the USB Power Cable to the last port on the 12-Port Expansion Board and connect up
the USB Power Bank to test the cockpit lights are working OK.

Note: 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). To correct any issues with expansion board ports, please
view the section addressing expansion board issues on our online troubleshooting guide.
Reconnect the middle section behind the cockpit, as well as the two front side sections.

7.) Take a 5cm Connecting Cable and connect it to the 12-Port Expansion Board, connect the
other end of the cable to the IN (+5V) port on the Gun Effects Board (G3FX V1).
Place the Tantive IV onto it’s side to allow us to disconnect the lower cannon section, then
disassemble this section as shown below:

8.) Take a Red 30cm Bit Light and thread the connector end of the cable all the way through the
top of one of the grey cone pieces. Carefully bend the Bit Light so that the LED sits flat
against the top of the cone piece, then reconnect grey bar at the bottom before
reconnecting it back to the cannon base. Ensure the cable is facing toward the middle.
