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 christmas tree on the side of the Gingerbread
House. First disconnect the star followed by the four panel sections around the
tree.

Disconnect the bottom sections from the front of the star as shown below,
then reconnect the 1×2 plate with open studs.
2.) Take a Flashing White 15cm Bit Light and place it in between the two open
studs, in the centre of the star. Secure the Bit Light in place by reconnecting
the trans yellow triangular pieces over the top.

Thread the other end of the Bit Light cable through the gap at the bottom of
the star, then pull the cable all the way out from behind. Reconnect the star to
the tree.

3.) We will now light up the tree panels starting with the two that have the two
trans yellow round plates on them. Take one panel and disconnect the bottom
triangular plate from underneath, then disconnect the trans yellow round plate
from the top.
Take a Flashing White 15cm Bit Light and with the cable facing away from you,
place it directly over the green stud as shown below. Secure the Bit Light in
place by reconnecting the trans yellow round plate over the top.

Disconnect the following few pieces from the bottom of the panel, then take
another Flashing White 15cm Bit Light and with the cable facing the right,
place it over the green stud. Secure the Bit Light in place by reconnecting the
trans yellow round plate, followed by the other pieces we disconnected earlier.

4.) Fold the cable from the left underneath the plate as shown below, then take
the cable from the right and bring it under the plate and lay it in between the
studs of the plate that connects underneath this section. Reconnect the
sections ensuring the cables are laid in between studs.

5.) Follow the previous steps to install another 2x Flashing White 15cm Bit
Lights to the other tree panel with two trans yellow round plates.

6.) Take one of the panels and fold the two bit light cables down so they are
facing the bottom. Tuck the top cable down underneath in the side of the plate,
then reconnect the panel to the front of the tree.

Turn the tree around and bring the cable from the star down and lay it in
between the studs before reconnecting the other panel over it. Ensure the top
cable from the panel is also laid underneath the plate on the side.
7.) Take the other two tree panels and disconnect sections from one of them to
install another Flashing White 15cm Bit Light to it.

Fold the Bit Light cable underneath the plate and lay it in between studs of the
plate that it connects on top of, then securely reconnect the plates together.

8.) Repeat the previous step to install another Flashing White 15cm Bit Light to
the remaining tree panel.

Fold each cable down toward the bottom of each panel, then reconnect each
panel to the tree ensuring you connect the plates over the Bit Light cables from
the other panels underneath.
9.) Turn the tree around so that we are facing the back, then connect all seven
bit light cables to an 8-Port Expansion Board. Take the AA Battery Pack and
insert 3x NEW batteries to it. Connect the battery pack cable to the expansion
board, then turn it ON to test all the flashing lights installed to the tree 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.
10.) Disconnect the Battery Pack and all seven lights from the expansion board.
From the back of the tree, twist all the cables around each other all the way to
