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.

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
The first thing we need to do is take R2’s head off. I know, it sounds brutal but he can’t
feel it anyway, right??
If you gently hold his head and lift upward, it should easily come off.

Look at the front of R2’s head, look for two trans-clear 1×1 plates and remove them.

Grab two of the bit lights and angle the end so that the light is perpendicular to the wire.

Feed the connector end of each bit light into the square hole left by removing the 1×1
trans-clear plates.
