Important things to note:
Laying cables in between and underneath bricks
Cables can t 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 t 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 t easily into a port connector, don’t force it. Doing so will
damage the plug and the connector.
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 start with installation of the headlights.
First remove the headlight sections as well as the indicator light sections
and then disassemble these sections as per below.

2.) Take one of the bit lights with 30 cm cable and place the LED
component part directly over the stud of the headlight. Ensure it is
facing the correct way up and then secure it in place by reconnecting
the trans dish piece over the top.
Reconnect this section back to the car ensuring the cable is facing inside of
the bonnet.
3.) Remove the blue piece next to where the indicator light was andthen
take another bit light with 30cm cable and place it directly over the
blue stud as per below.

Secure the bit light in place by reconnecting the indicator light piece
directly over the top, ensuring the cable is facing toward the inside of the
bonnet. Reconnect the blue piece we removed earlier ensuring the cable
underneath is laid in between studs.
4.) Remove the spare tyre from the inside and then thread the 2
cablesdown underneath the car. Lift the car up and then using one
cable at a time, thread the cable through holes of the LEGO pieces
down towards the back of the car.

6.) Repeat the above process to install another 2 bit lights with 30cm
cables to the left section of the front of the car.
7.) Place the tyre back inside and then close the bonnet.

8.) Take all 4 cables from underneath of the car and then connect themto
the ports on the 8-port expansion board. To eliminate excess cables,
wind the cables around the expansion board.
9.) We will now install the tail lights.
Start by removing the wheel, the blue LEGO piece on the right of the
wheel, followed by the tail light section as per below.

10.) Remove the original trans red tile and discard. We are unable
toinstall a bit light underneath this particular tile as it is at.
Take one bit light with 15cm cable and place the LED component directly
over the top of the grey stud. Ensure the LED component is facing the
correct way up and then secure it in place by connecting the trans red 1x1
plate (provided in this kit) directly over the top. Ensure the cable is facing
toward the left, as pictured below.
11.) Reconnect this tail light section with bit light installed back to
theBeetle.

12.) Thread the cable across and then inside the spacing between
theblack and grey bricks. Lift the grey bricks where the wheel axle is
and then secure the cable in place by reconnecting the grey bricks back
over the top.
13.) Ensure the cable is laid between studs before then
reconnectingthe wheel and blue piece on the right of the wheel.
14.) Pull the cable from the tail light down from underneath the
carand then connect this to the next available port on the expansion
board.
