6. Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your Hilighting LED Light Kit, please refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Lights do not turn on. | No power supply, loose connection, or faulty component. | Check USB connection or battery box (ensure batteries are installed and charged, switch is ON). Verify all cables are securely connected to the expansion board and LEDs. |
| Lights are dim or flickering. | Insufficient power, loose connection, or damaged wire. | Ensure the power source provides adequate 5V. Re-check all connections for tightness. Inspect wires for any visible damage or pinching. Replace batteries if using a battery box. |
| Specific lights are not working. | Loose connection to that specific light, or a faulty LED/cable. | Check the connection of the non-working light to the expansion board. If possible, test the light with a different port on the expansion board or a known working cable. |
| Wires are visible or not neatly arranged. | Improper wire routing during installation. | Carefully re-route wires, utilizing the small gaps and spaces within the LEGO bricks to conceal them. Use tweezers for precision. |
If these steps do not resolve the issue, please contact Hilighting customer support for further assistance.
