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 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

1.) We will install bit lights to the headlights and blinkers first. Start by removing the
headlight sections and disassemble the pieces as per below:

2.) We will first install lights to each blinker. Disassemble pieces of the blinkers and then
take one White Bit Light 30cm and thread the connector side through the large hole of
the black LEGO cone. Pull the cable all the way through from the other side until the LED
component is right up inside the LEGO cone.

Secure the bit light in place by reconnecting the trans orange round plate. Reconnect the
light grey LEGO piece to the other side and then reconnect this section back.

3.) Take another White Bit Light 30cm and place the LED component part in the centre
of the black round LEGO piece. With the cable facing downward, reconnect the trans

clear round LEGO piece over the top ensuring the LED component sits securely in the
centre.

Reconnect the headlight section back on top of the blinker and then reconnect this whole
section back to the left side of the Caterham.

Repeats step 2 and 3 to install another 2x White Bit Lights 30cm to the other side’s
headlight and blinker.
4.) We will now lay the cables through to the back of the vehicle. Start by removing the
bonnet section as well as the yellow pieces along the side.

Carefully lay the cables in between studs and then secure them by reconnecting the
yellow pieces over the top.

5.) Thread the cables down underneath the vehicle, and then thread the cable back up
from underneath as per below.

6.) Remove the passenger seat as well as the LEGO pieces behind to allow us to bring
the cables to the back of the vehicle.

7.) Take the 12-port expansion board and connect the cables we have just brought over
into the port closest to that side.

8.)Reconnect the seat and then lay the cables underneath and in between studs before
then reconnecting pieces over the top.
