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.
WARNING: 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

Let’s start at the back of the vehicle. Grab the 12 Port Expansion Board
and move the car around so you have easy access to the boot.
There are a few options for mounting the 12 Port Expansion Board. I
am going to mount mine on top of the 1 x 4 tile. If you have applied a
sticker to this piece, you may want to mount the expansion board in one of
the other positions shown in the photos above.
Grab some Adhesive Squares and peel the top off one of them.

Remove it from the base and stick it on the car where you want to mount
your 12 Port Expansion Board.
Grab another Adhesive Square and peel it like the previous one. Also
stick it where you want the 12 Port Expansion Board to be.
Mount the 12 Port Expansion Board on top the Adhesive Squares.
When working on the rear lights, I found it useful to prop the car up on a
couple of small boxes which made it easier for me to access the pieces I
needed.
I will go through the steps for installing LEDs on the right hand side of the
car. When finished, repeat the same steps for the left hand side of the car.

Look for the Trans-Red Bionicle 1 x 3 Tooth with Axle Hole piece. Gently
pry apart the orange technic pieces above and below it.

Grab a White 15cm Bit Light and feed it down through the boot and out
near the Trans-Red Bionicle 1 x 3 Tooth with Axle Hole piece.
Jiggle and manoeuvre the LED until it is face down and inside the Trans-
Red Bionicle 1 x 3 Tooth with Axle Hole piece.
Pinch the technic pieces that you previously separated back together.

Remove the orange technic fairing piece that sits above the brake light. Do
this by pulling it backwards towards you.
Grab the plug end if the White 15cm Bit Light and feed it through a side
hole in the black technic liftarm piece.
