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.

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.) First remove the base of the top floor as per below images.

2.) We will first install lights to those attached to the front mast and along the middle.
Remove the front light section and then disassemble pieces as per below:

3.) Install a White 30cm Bit Light by threading the connector side through the base of the
trans yellow brick (larger hole). Thread the cable all the way through until the Bit Light is
sitting inside the brick.

Thread the cable through the base of the black lamp shade piece as well as the gold
round plate with hole before connecting pieces together.

Reconnect the black hook piece by carefully pushing down through the top of the lamp
shade piece. NOTE: You will notice that this particular piece will not push all the
way down. Do not force push it all the way.

It should look similar to the below example.
Lastly, reconnect the remaining piece which sits underneath the lamp before reconnecting
back to the front mast.

4.) Next, we will install lights to the lanterns along the middle line. Disconnect the one
closest to the front lamp we just installed and then remove the gold piece underneath.

Take another White 30cm Bit Light and then place the bit light directly over the top of the
gold piece we removed. Secure the light in place by reconnecting the trans red piece over
the top as per below.

5.) Take the cable from the bit light and then pull it up and then across the top and lay in
between the black clip.

Reconnect this section back to the middle line ensuring the cable is facing forward.
