Importantthingstonote:
Layingcablesinbetweenandunderneathbricks

Cables can t 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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 t easily into a port connector, don’t force it.
Doing so will damage the plug and the connector.

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 t easily into a port connector, do not force it.
WARNING:Incorrectlyinsertingtheconnectorcan
resultinbentpinsinsidetheportorpossible
overheatingoftheexpansionboardwhenconnected.
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.

Instructionsforinstallingthiskit
LightingthePoliceCar:
1.) Start by removing the following Lego pieces which make up the roof
and windscreen, followed by the black Lego plates and tiles from the
front bonnet.

2.)Disconnect from each side of the car, the black 1 x 1 brick with the
transparent yellow plate attached. Remove the yellow plate from the
black brick and take 1x White 15cm Bit Light and using the connector
end of the cable of the LED, thread this through the hole of the front of
the black brick.
Pull the cable from the back of the black brick all the way until the LED
component is at up against the other side of the brick. Ensure that the
LED component part is facing the correct way up, then secure this
down by reconnecting the transparent yellow Lego plate over the top.

Repeat this step for the other head light of the car using another White
15cm Bit Light.
3.) Reconnect the 2 head lights back to the front of the car ensuring the
cables for the lights are facing up.

4.) Next step is to remove the following Lego pieces from the car so that
we can lay the cables from the headlights underneath and all the way
to the back.

5.) Thread the 2 cables through the small holes behind the front seats,
1 cable through each hole.
6.) Start securing the cables down by reconnecting back Lego plates
and tiles over the top. Before doing so, ensure that the cables are laid in
between studs exactly the same way as the below images.
7.) Reconnect the white bricks as per below ensuring that the cables
are laid in between the black and white studs underneath.
EnsurethecablesarelaidonthesideofeachofthebrownLegostuds

We can now also reconnect the Lego pieces which make up the front of
the dash board, side mirrors, and front windscreen.
8.) In order to hide the rest of the contents from this lighting kit in the
back section of the car, we will be removing and discarding the
following pieces.
