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.
Connecting Micro Cable connectors to Micro
Expansion Board Ports
Take extra care when inserting the micro connectors to micro ports of Micro
Expansion Boards. Connecting Micro Bit Lights to Micro Expansion Boards is
similar to connecting lights and cables to Strip Lights. With the expansion
board 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, do not force it. Use
your fingernail to push the plastic part of the connector to the micro port.

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.) Start by lifting up the hood and disconnecting the following sections
surrounding the front of the vehicle:

2.) Take the bottom left headlight section and disconnect the trans clear round
plate. Take a White 15cm Bit Light and thread the connector end of the cable
through the right hole and out the bottom of the yellow brick. Thread the cable
all the way through, then carefully bend the Bit Light so that it sits flat against
the front hole. Secure the light in place by reconnecting the trans clear round
plate over the top.

Reconnect this section back to the front left side of the car ensuring the cable
is slipped inside and behind as shown below.

3.) Repeat the previous step to install another White 15cm Bit Light to the
bottom right headlight, then reconnect this section to the front right side of
the car.

4.) Place the car on it’s back, then disconnect the front right wheel. Take the Bit
Light cable on this side and thread it through the following hole in the dark
grey technic brick. Pull the cable out all the way out from the other side of the
brick.

Repeat this step for the left side, then connect both Bit Light cables to the
middle ports on the 8-Port Expansion Board.

Disconnect the following angled yellow tile.

5.) Take the Flat Battery Pack and insert 2x new CR2032 Batteries to it. Thread
the battery pack cable through the following space behind the front passenger
seat that leads underneath the vehicle. Pull the cable all the way out, then
connect the cable to the far left port on the 8-Port Expansion board. Place the
Battery Pack behind the front seats.

Turn the battery pack ON to test the front headlights 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.
6.) Take the following two sections we disconnected earlier and disassemble
them, then reconnect the bottom yellow plate to each side of the vehicle.

Reconnect the front panel section

7.) Disassemble the two headlight sections as shown below, then take a White
15cm Bit Light and place it in the following position over one of the light grey
plates. Secure the Bit Light in place by reconnecting the trans clear dish over
the top. Fold the cable down underneath ensuring it is laid in between the gap,
then reinsert the black bar.

The Bit Light should be positioned underneath the centre of the headlight and
the cable should be facing the bottom as per below image.
