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 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.

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 t 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!
Lighting the Car

1.) Start by disconnecting the following sections of the front and
bottom of the car (trans clear tiles, 1x12 plates, and front bumper
section).

2.) Take a White 15cm Bit Light and with the cable facing down, place
it directly over one of the front grey studs. Take a provided Trans Clear
Round Plate 1x1 and connect it over the top to secure the Bit Light in
place.
Install another White 15cm Bit Light to the other headlight using the
same method as above.

3.) Lay both Bit Light cables down the side of the White 2x4 plate and
then reconnect the front bumper section over the top.
Bring both cables down the base of the car and then thread each cable
through the spacing in between the back wheel and side of car.

Pull each cable up from the inside of the car.
4.) Reconnect the two 1x12 plates ensuring you secure each cable in
between studs of each plate.

5.) We will now install the tail lights. First disconnect the whole section
as well as the 2 curved pieces as per below:
Continue to disconnect pieces from the back of the car.
6.) Disconnect and disassemble the four tail light sections as per below:

7.) Take another White 15cm Bit Light and then thread the connector
side through the top of one of the Light Grey Round Plates. Thread it all
the way through and then slightly bend the Bit Light so that it sits at
against the top of the plate.
Take one of the provided Trans Red Round Plates 1x1 and then
connect it over the top to secure the Bit Light in place. Reconnect this
plate to the back section ensuring the cable is facing toward the middle
of the car.

8.) Repeat previous step to install another 3x White 15cm Bit Lights to
the back of the car.
9.) Reconnect the back section to the car and then take the two Bit
Light cables from each side and lay them in between studs before
reconnecting each curved white piece on top.

Continue to reconnect surrounding pieces to the back of the car.

10.) Take an 8-port Expansion Board and then connect the four Bit
Light cables from the back of the car to the inside ports.
Wind the four cables around the expansion board 3–4 times until the
board is close enough to the top of the car seat then connect the two Bit
Light cables from the front of the car to the out side ports.

11.) Take the 50cm Connecting Cable and then thread one side
underneath the car and then up the spacing in between the back wheel
and side of the car. Pull it up from the top of the car and then connect it
to one of the spare ports on the expansion board.
Neatly place the expansion board on top of the back seat then add the
guitar and minigure.
Test the lights we have installed so far by connecting the other end of
the 50cm connecting cable to a spare expansion board and then
connect the AA Battery Pack to a spare port (rst ensure you insert 3x
new AA batteries).

This completes the installation of lights for the car and we are now
ready to move on to lighting the Downtown Diner.
...
Lighting the Downtown Diner
1.) First remove the top two levels of the Downtown Diner then
disconnect the lamp post and 2x4 plate underneath.

Disconnect the following two grey tiles above where the lamp post was
connected to.
2.) Take the LEGO Lamp Post with Bit Light installed and then
connect it to the base plate ensuring the cable is facing toward the
building. Gently bend the corner of the base plate down so that the

bottom right corner of building disconnects and provides a gap
underneath. Thread the lamp post cable in between this spacing and
then pull the cable up from the inside.
Pull the cable all the way up eliminating excess cable between the lamp
post and building and then reconnect the bottom right corner of the
building to the base plate. Ensuring the lamp post cable is laid in
between studs, reconnect the tiles we removed earlier

3.) We will now install ashing lights to the jukebox. First disconnect
the jukebox and then disassemble pieces as per below:
