Setup and Installation

Follow these steps carefully to integrate the LED light kit into your Lego Orient Express 21344 model. It is recommended to have your Lego model fully assembled before beginning the light installation.

  1. Prepare Your Lego Model: Ensure your Lego Orient Express 21344 set is fully built and stable. Identify the areas where lights will be installed, such as headlights, interior compartments, and the chimney.
  2. Identify Light Components: Refer to the included diagrams (if any, or use the product images as a guide) to match each LED light strip or individual LED to its intended location on the Lego model.
  3. Install Headlights: Carefully place the designated LED lights into the headlight positions on the locomotive. Route the wires discreetly along the existing Lego structure.
  4. Install Interior Lights: For the passenger cars, install the interior LED strips. These often fit within the roof or along the side walls. Ensure wires are hidden to maintain the aesthetic.
  5. Chimney Light (RC Version): For the RC version, install the special LED for the chimney to simulate smoke. This typically involves placing the LED inside the chimney and potentially adding the provided cotton material for effect.
  6. Connect to Expansion Boards: Connect the wires from each installed LED to the appropriate ports on the expansion boards. Pay attention to the polarity if indicated.
  7. Connect Power Source: Connect the expansion boards to the battery box or USB power cable. Ensure batteries are correctly inserted into the battery box if using that option.
  8. Secure Wires: Use the provided adhesive squares or other methods to neatly secure any loose wires, preventing them from being visible or interfering with the model's movement.
  9. Test Functionality: Before final assembly, connect the power and test all lights using the remote control to ensure they are working correctly.
