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.
Connecting Micro Cable connectors to Micro
Expansion Board Ports
Take extra care when inserting the micro connectors to micro ports of Micro
Expansion Boards. Connecting Micro Bit Lights to Micro Expansion Boards is
similar to connecting lights and cables to Strip Lights. With the expansion
board 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, do not force it. Use
your fingernail to push the plastic part of the connector to the micro port.
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.) Disconnect the following pieces from the front of the Millennium Falcon

2.) Install 2x Cool White 30cm Bit Lights underneath the trans red round
plates, then fold the cables down underneath the grey tile before reconnecting
it to the ship.

3.) Bring both cables underneath the ship and lay them underneath the
following sections. Ensure cables are laid in between studs.

4.) Secure the cables underneath the following plate, then connect them to an
8-Port Expansion Board. Insert 3x New AA Batteries to the AA Battery Pack,
then connect the battery pack cable to a spare port on the expansion board.

Carefully flip the ship over and turn the Battery Pack ON to test the two front
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, expansion board or effects board). To
correct any issues with expansion board ports, please view the section
addressing expansion board issues on our online troubleshooting guide.
5.) Remove sections surrounding the cockpit, to allow us to install a Cool White
30cm Bit Light.

Install the Bit Light LED facing down, then push it slightly up.

6.) Thread the cable through the following hole to lead underneath the ship.
Continue threading the cable through the following holes.

Disconnect the two Cool White Bit Lights from the expansion board, then

thread them through the following holes. Take the Cool White Bit Light cable
from the cockpit and thread it through the same hole, then connect all three
cables to the 8-port expansion board.

7.) Carefully flip the ship back over and reconnect the minifigs and wind shield,
ensuring the bit light cable is carefully tucked under.
Turn the Battery Pack ON to test all 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, expansion board or effects board). To
correct any issues with expansion board ports, please view the section
addressing expansion board issues on our online troubleshooting guide.
8.) Disconnect the AA Battery Pack from the expansion board, then lift up the
following roof panel and disconnect the following roof section behind. Connect
a 30cm Connecting Cable to a White Strip Light and stick it underneath this
roof section. Reconnect this section to the ship.

Tuck the cable in, then bring it underneath the ship and thread it through the
following holes to lead towards to where the 8-port expansion board is situated.
