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 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 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 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

This section will guide you to install light to the fire truck first.
1) Start by removing the following pieces to allow us to remove one of the headlight
sections from the front.

Remove the trans yellow round plate and then take one White 15cm Bit Light and thread
the connector side through the front hole of the red brick as per below.

Thread this all the way through until the LED component is flat against the top of the red
brick. Secure it in place by reconnecting the trans yellow round plate over the top.
Reconnect this headlight back to the car ensuring the cable is hidden behind.

Turn the fire truck onto its side and thread the bit light cable over the wheel. Pull all the
way through from the other side of the wheel.

Reconnect the red piece we removed at the start.

Repeat this process to install another White 15cm Bit Light to the other side of the fire
engine.

2.) Turn over again and remove the two grey 1×6 plates.

Thread the cable up to the back section of the fire truck and pull all the way up from the
top. Secure the cable by reconnecting the 1×6 plate we removed earlier.

Repeat this process to feed the other cable up to the back section.

3.) Remove the following sections to give us more room to access the back of the truck.
