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.
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 cockpit. Start by disconnecting the roof
section on each side, then disconnect the following middle sections as shown
below:

Disassemble the middle section as shown below, then take the red and trans
dark clear pieces.

2.) Take 2x Cool White 30cm Bit Lights and with the cables facing the right
side, place both of them over the studs of the red plate. Secure them in place by
reconnecting the trans dark clear plates over the top. The 2 LEDs should fit
nicely inside the studs of the trans dark clear plates.

Reconnect the following section on top, then flip it over and push the cables
down into the corner before reconnecting it to the two white arch bricks. Lay
the two cables down the middle in between studs before reconnecting the
right section over the top of the cables.

Flip this section over and ensure both cables are tucked in between white
bricks, then flip it back over and reconnect the middle section on top.

3.) Take a new Cool White 30cm Bit Light and using an Adhesive Square, stick
it underneath the middle section in the below position with cable facing the
back.

Slip the Bit Light Cable in between the two centre arched bricks, then lay it out
toward the back before reconnecting the grey 2×3 plate over the top of the
cables. Ensure the cable is laid in between studs.
4.) Connect the cables from the three bit lights we have just installed to a 6-
Port Expansion Board. Take your USB Power Cable and connect it to the

expansion board. Connect the USB end to a USB Power Bank (sold
separately) and turn it ON to test the 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.

Disconnect the USB Power Cable from the expansion board, then reconnect
the middle section back to the front of the ship. Neaten up the wiring and
eliminate excess cable from the Bit Lights by grouping them together and
twisting/folding them together into a neat bunch as shown below. Place the
expansion board in to the middle section behind.

5.) Remove cabin roof as well upper cannon section, then take a 15cm
Connecting Cable and connect it to the 6-Port Expansion Board.
Bring the other end of the 15cm Connecting Cable toward the back, then slip it
in between the middle and side sections as shown below.

Disconnect the following white square plate and lay the cable in between studs
underneath, before reconnecting the square plate over the top.

6.) Open the lower compartment, then bring the cable out the side to connect
to the first port on a 12-Port Expansion Board
Reconnect the USB Power Cable to the last port on the 12-Port Expansion
Board and connect up the USB Power Bank to test the cockpit 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.
Reconnect the middle section behind the cockpit, as well as the two front side
sections.

7.) Take a 5cm Connecting Cable and connect it to the 12-Port Expansion
Board, connect the other end of the cable to the IN (+5V) port on the Gun
Effects Board (G3FX V1).
Place the Tantive IV onto it’s side to allow us to disconnect the lower cannon
section, then disassemble this section as shown below:

8.) Take a Red 30cm Bit Light and thread the connector end of the cable all the
way through the top of one of the grey cone pieces. Carefully bend the Bit Light
so that the LED sits flat against the top of the cone piece, then reconnect grey
bar at the bottom before reconnecting it back to the cannon base. Ensure the
cable is facing toward the middle.

Repeat this step to install another Red 30cm Bit Light to the other cannon.
