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.

OK, Let’s Begin!

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.

First, turn the car around to the back and remove the back bumper with
tail lights attached, followed by the boot cover.

9.) Continue to remove the following pieces from the back of the car.
10.) Turn the car over and remove the following pieces.

11.) Remove the 2 grey bricks with plates attached below, then
separate these pieces and hang on to the 2 grey plates.
12.) Remove the following pieces from the rear wheels and then
connect to the axle, the 2 grey pieces we kept in the previous step in the
following position.

13.) We are now ready to install the 2 tail lights. Take the bumper with
lights attached and remove the 2 transparent red plates.
Take another White 15cm Bit Light and place it in between the 2 grey
studs. Secure this LED in place by reconnecting a transparent red plate
over the top.
Repeat this step for the 2nd tail light using another White 15cm Bit
Light then reconnect the bumper to the back section of the car.

14.) Secure the 2 cables from the tail lights to the inside of the boot by
laying them in between studs underneath the black plate on each side.
15.) Take the 2 cables and then pull them together and twist them
around so they both come together. Wind the cables around the axle of
the rear wheels a few times until you have about 2–3 cm of excess cable
left on each side.

Connect these 2 lights to rst available ports on the 8-port expansion
board
16.) Reconnect the rear wheels along with the back section of the car to
the rest of the car using the 2 grey Lego pieces.

Flip the car over and then reconnect the 2 long black plates (which we
removed earlier). This will then allow the back section of the car to be
secured to the car.
17.) Take the 2 cables from the front lights and twist them around so
they come together. Thread them down the space in between the axle
and the grey Lego piece (4 grey studs).

Turn the car over and then pull the 2 cables up from underneath all the
way and then then thread them down again over the axle. Repeat this
process a few times (threading the cable around the axle) until there is
only approx 3 cm left of the cable.
Plug the 2 cables into the next available ports on the expansion board.

18.) We will now install ashing lights to the siren lights on the roof of
the car. Take the roof and remove the long white plates on each side.
Remove the transparent red Lego tile and then take one of the Flashing
White 15cm Bit Lights and place it in between the 2 grey studs, then
secure the LED in place by reconnecting the transparent red tile over
the top.
Repeat this process using another Flashing White 15cm Bit Light for
the blue light. Then reconnect the long white tiles on each side
ensuring the cables are pulled down in between.

19.) Take the 2 cables from underneath the roof and twist them so that
they come together. Wind them around so they form a neat loop of
cables with a diameter of around 1.5cm. Use a bit of tape to hold them
together, preventing them from untangling.
20.) Place the roof with lights installed on top of the car and then
connect the 2 ashing bit light cables into the next available ports on
the expansion board.
