3. Prepare a clean, well-lit workspace.

4.2 Installing the Lights

The installation process involves carefully disassembling specific sections of your Lego model, integrating the LED components, and then reassembling. Refer to the images for visual guidance.

1. Camera Reels Illumination:

   Carefully detach the top sections of the camera, specifically the film reels. Integrate the circular LED light strips into the designated areas within the reels. Ensure wires are neatly tucked and routed through existing gaps or under bricks to remain hidden.

2. Central Lens and Viewfinder Lighting:

   Install smaller LEDs or light strips around the central lens and within the viewfinder area. These lights often require careful placement to shine through transparent or translucent Lego elements. Route wires discreetly along the camera body.

3. Mini-Set Illumination (Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse Scene):

   For the accompanying mini-set featuring Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse, place individual LEDs or small light strips to illuminate the characters and the backdrop. This may involve lifting small sections of the baseplate or walls to secure the lights and route the wiring.

5. Power Source Connection:

   Connect the main wiring harness to either the USB power cable or the battery box. If using the battery box, insert 3x AA batteries (not included) ensuring correct polarity.

6. Cable Management:

   Carefully route all wires to minimize visibility and prevent them from being pinched or damaged during reassembly. Use adhesive pads or small Lego elements to secure wires if necessary.

   Gently reassemble the Lego model, ensuring no wires are caught or stressed. Test the lights periodically during reassembly to confirm functionality.
