Setup and Installation
Follow these steps carefully to install the lighting kit onto your LEGO Creator Vespa 125 model. It is recommended to have the LEGO model fully assembled before starting the light kit installation.
- Prepare the LEGO Model: Identify the areas on your LEGO Vespa 125 where lights will be installed. This often involves carefully detaching small sections of bricks to route wires.
- Install Headlight:
Locate the large warm white round light. Carefully integrate it into the headlight assembly of the Vespa. You may need to remove and reattach some LEGO bricks to secure the light and route its wire discreetly.

Use the red dot lights for the rear taillight assembly. These small lights can be placed within or behind transparent red LEGO bricks to create a realistic effect. Route the wires along the underside or inside the model structure.

Utilize the warm white dot lights and strip lights for interior areas, such as under the seat or within the engine compartment, and for accentuating other details like the flower basket. Carefully route wires to expansion boards.

Connect the wires from each light to the appropriate ports on the 6-port and 12-port expansion boards. Ensure connections are firm but do not force them. Use the provided connecting cables to extend reach if necessary.
- Power Source Connection:
Choose your preferred power source:
- Battery Box: Insert AAA batteries (not included) into the battery box, observing polarity. Connect the battery box to an available port on an expansion board.
- USB Power Cable: Connect the USB power cable to an expansion board and plug the other end into a 5V USB power adapter (not included) or a USB port on a computer/power bank.
- Secure Components: Use the adhesive squares to secure expansion boards and excess wiring within the LEGO model, ensuring they do not interfere with the model's stability or appearance.

Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your lighting kit, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
