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.) We will first install lights to the post office truck. Disconnect the following
sections surrounding the front and back of the truck as shown below:

Disconnect the two headlight sections and disassemble one of them as shown
below

2.) Take a White 15cm Micro Bit Light and with the cable facing the same way
as the tap, place the LED inside the plate underneath. Ensuring the LED is
facing the correct way up, secure the Bit Light in place by reconnecting the
trans clear round plate.
Reconnect the tap piece to the dark grey plate with clip ensuring you secure
the cable underneath the clip as shown below, then reconnect this headlight to
the front of the truck.

Repeat this process to install another White 15cm Micro Bit Light to the other
headlight, before reconnecting it to the front of the truck.

3.) Lay both cables in between studs leading to the back of the truck, then
secure them in place by reconnecting all the pieces we removed earlier over
the top.

Connect the Bit Lights to the Micro 4-Port Expansion Board. Take the Flat
Battery Pack and insert 2x NEW CR2032 Batteries inside. Connect the Battery
Pack cable to the larger port on the expansion board, then turn it ON to test the
headlights are working OK.
N ote: 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.
4.) Turn the truck over so we can access underneath of it, then disconnect the
4×6 plate.
Stick 2x Adhesive Squares onto the back of the Flat Battery Pack, then stick it it
underneath the truck with the switch facing the back.

Disconnect the rear wheel section and lay the battery pack cable underneath,
before reconnecting it over the top, securing the cable.
5.) We will now install the rear lights to the truck. First disconnect this section
and disconnect the trans red round plates.

Take another White 15cm Micro Bit Light and place the LED facing up over the
top of one of the grey studs. Secure the Bit Light in place by reconnecting one
of the trans red round plates over the top, then repeat this step to install
another White 15cm Micro Bit Light to the other rear light.

6.) Tuck the bit light cables underneath this section, then before we reconnect
this to the back of the truck, lay the battery pack cable in between studs as
shown below:
Connect the two Bit Lights to the Micro 4-Port Expansion Board, then turn the
battery pack ON to test the rear lights are working OK.

7.) Neaten up the cables by twisting and folding them together into a neat
bunch. Place the components directly in front of the light grey back piece
before reconnecting the main carriage section.

Test all lights are working OK.
8.) We will now install lights to the gazebo. First lift up the four roof sections,
then disconnect the 2x trans red round plates from the front.

Take a Flashing White 15cm Bit Light and with the cable facing the outside,
place it over the left stud. Secure it in place by reconnecting the trans red round
plate over the top.

Thread the bit light cable through the space in the centre of the roof. Turn the
section around to the back and pull the cable all the way out.
9.) Repeat the previous step to install another Flashing White 15cm Bit Light to
the right side and pulling it out from the back side.

Connect both cables to a 6-Port Expansion Board, then turn the set back
around to the front and push close the centre roof panel.
