- Carefully thread the small LED wires through gaps in the LEGO bricks. The included tweezer tool can assist with this.
- Secure LED light strips or individual LEDs in their designated positions. Use adhesive squares if provided and necessary.

- Connect Power Source:
- If using a battery box, insert the required batteries (e.g., AA or AAA, not included) and connect the battery box to the main connection board.
- If using a USB power cable, connect it to the main connection board and then to an external power bank or USB wall adapter (not included).
- Test Lights: Before fully reassembling your LEGO model, connect the power source and test all lights to ensure they are functioning correctly.
- Final Assembly: Carefully reassemble any disassembled LEGO sections, ensuring wires are neatly tucked away and not visible or stressed.
