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 the headlights to the batmobile. Carefully remove the two
headlight sections, then flip them over and disassemble the right headlight
section as shown below.

Take a Warm White 30cm Large Bit Light and with the LED facing the
opposite side to the sticker, place it inside the trans yellow brick. Bring the cable
down the side where the sticker is, then secure the Bit Light in place by
reconnecting the trans yellow plate over the top.

Repeat this step to install another 2x Warm White 30cm Large Bit Lights to
the other two headlight pieces, then reconnect each one to the right headlight
ensuring the LEDS are facing to the front.
2.) Bring the ends of the three bit light cables together and thread them
through the space behind the headlights. Turn the batmobile onto it’s left side
so we can access underneath. Find the three cables we threaded through
behind the headlight and pull them all the way out at the front of the wheel.

Turn the vehicle back over and reconnect the right headlight ensuring the
cables underneath are laid in between studs.

Turn the vehicle back onto it’s left side again and disconnect the front right
wheel, then slightly bend the three cables into a hook shape and thread the
cables through the following dark grey technic brick hole behind the wheel.
Thread the cables through and pull them all the way out at the following space
below.

Secure the cables around the top of the wheel axis by disconnecting the

following light grey plate, laying the cables underneath in between studs, then
reconnecting the plate over the top. It is important to ensure there is enough
cable slack for the wheel to still be able to turn all the way left and right, so test
this out to ensure all is ok.
3.) Thread the three cables through to the next space in the centre, then pull

them all the way out.
Connect the three bit lights to a 12-Port Expansion Board. Take the AA Battery
Pack and insert 3x new AA Batteries to it. Connect the Battery Pack cable to a
spare port on the expansion board, then turn it on to test the right 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.
Reconnect the wheel we removed earlier, then flip the batmobile back over and
continue to the next step.

4.) Disassemble the left headlight section, then repeat step 1 and 2 to install
another 3x Warm White 30cm Large Bit Lights and reconnect the headlight
section.

Turn the vehicle back onto it’s right side and disconnect the front left wheel,
then slightly bend the three cables into a hook shape and thread the cables
through the following hole behind the wheel. Thread the cables through and
pull them all the way out at the middle space as shown below.

5.) Secure the cables around the top of the wheel axis by disconnecting the
following grey plate, laying the cables underneath in between studs, then
reconnecting the plate over the top. It is important to ensure there is enough
cable slack for the wheel to turn all the way left and right.
