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 cannons on the front of the star fighter. Firstdisconnect the
following pieces surrounding the front, then disconnect the two cannon sections.

Continue to remove sections which make up the windows and roof cannons.

2.) Disassemble the two cannons as per below, then discard the two grey barsand replace
them with the provided 2x Trans Bright Green Lightsaber bars that come in this kit.
Take a Green 30cm Bit Light and thread the connector end of the cable through the top of the
technic piece on one of the cannon bases as shown below:

Thread the cable all the way through and before pulling the Bit Light inside the technic piece,
slightly bend the LED so that it is facing up.
3.) Insert one of the Trans Bright Green Bars inside, then reconnect the othercannon pieces.

Repeat steps 2 and 3 to install another Green 30cm Bit Light to the other cannon section, then
reconnect both to the front of the starfighter.
4.) Disconnect the following tiles along the top of the starfighter, thendisconnect all the angled
bricks along the left side as shown below.

Lift up the white top and bottom flap piece on the back of this cockpit section:
Take the cable from the left cannon and thread it toward the end of the cockpit, in between the
gaps underneath the pieces we removed earlier, then slip it in between the light grey round 2×2
plate and side of the ship. Pull the cable underneath and then secure it in place by closing the
top and bottom flap pieces.
