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.) Seperate the two buildings, then remove the top two levels of the bluebuilding as we will
install lights to this side first. Disconnect the lamp post as well as the following piece behind
the flower bed.

Using your LEGO removal tool, disconnect the following tiles and pieces.

Take out the Light My Bricks Lamp Post and connect it to the base plate (without the 2×2 plate
underneath it). Lay the cable down towards the building ensuring it’s laid in between studs as
shown below, then reconnect the brown 2×4 plate with flower connected, along with the light
grey tiles and blue flower.

2.) Turn the set around, and disconnect the two side flowers. Take out a Pink 30cm Bit Light
and with the LED facing up, place it in the following position in between the brown studs.
Reconnect the purple flower piece.
Take a Blue 30cm Bit Light and with the LED facing up, place it in the following position in
between the brown studs. With the cable laying down in between studs, reconnect the
following white bricks over the top

Take the remaining Pink 30cm Bit Light and with the LED facing up, place it down in the
following position in between the brown studs on the left. Reconnect the blue flower, then
ensuring both cables from the Pink Bit Lights are laid in between studs, reconnect the dark grey
bricks to secure them in place.

3.) Turn the set around to the front again and reconnect the following bricksand pieces.

Take out the 12-Port Expansion Board and connect the three Bit Lights and the Lamp Post cable
to it. Remove the ladder from it’s storage position.
Take the USB Power Cable and thread the connector end of the cable through the technic brick
hole on the outside of the building on the right side. Pull the cable in from the inside of the
building, then connect it to the far right port on the expansion board. Connect the USB
connection end to your USB Power Bank or wall adaptor (sold separately) and turn it ON to test
the lamp post and garden 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.
4.) Neaten up the cables from the lights by grouping them together andtwisting and folding
them into a neat bunch. Reconnect the ladder.

Take out the 50cm Connecting Cable and connect it to a spare port on the expansion board,
then thread it through the technic brick hole that leads to the outside of the building (left side).
Pull the cable all the way out from the outside. This cable will be used to connect up to the left
building (book shop).

If you are connecting both sides of the building together, thread the cable through the black
technic pin, then reconnect the pin to the bottom of the building.
5.) We will now light up the first floor starting with the two door lamps. Firstdisconnect the
long tile from above the front door, then remove the front door section. Slightly lift up the
wall sections above each door lamp to allow us to remove the lamp sections as per below:

Disassemble each door lamp as shown below, then take out a White 30cm Bit Light and with the
cable facing the back of the lamp base, place it over the top of the stud. Secure the Bit Light in
place by reconnecting the trans clear brick over the top. Repeat this step to install another
White 30cm Bit Light to the other door lamp.

Reconnect the right lamp ensuring you first thread the cable behind and lay it down in between
studs. Push down the wall section above, then do the same to reconnect the left lamp.
Reconnect the front door section

6.) Turn this section around so we can access the inside of the front wall. Takethe Bit Light
cable from the right door lamp and pull it directly up. Lay the cable around the studs above,
then secure it down by reconnecting the long white tile.
