Introduction

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for installing the Lightailing BX405 LED light kit onto the LEGO Technic Ferrari 488 GTE "AF Corse #51" (42125) set. This kit enhances the model with functional lighting and includes a remote control for operation.

Package Contents

Ensure all components are present before beginning installation:

• LED light strips
• Connecting cables
• Battery box
• Remote control
• Adhesive squares
• Expansion cards

Important Notes

• Read all instructions carefully before starting.
• Ensure the LEGO set is completed before installing the lights.
• Handle all electronic components with care to avoid damage.
• Keep small parts away from children.
• Do not expose the kit to water or excessive moisture.
• The LEGO set itself is not included with this light kit.

Installation Steps

Follow these steps to install the lighting system:

1. Prepare the LEGO Model: Disassemble specific sections of the LEGO Ferrari 488 GTE as indicated in the diagrams (refer to the original Lightailing PDF for visual cues).
2. Install Headlights: Connect the small white LEDs to the designated ports on the front of the model using the provided cables. Secure them with adhesive squares if necessary.
3. Install Taillights: Connect the red LEDs to the rear of the model. Ensure cables are routed neatly through existing LEGO Technic structures.
4. Install Interior Lights (Optional/if applicable): If the kit includes interior lighting, carefully route the cables to illuminate the cockpit or other areas.
5. Connect Expansion Cards: Use the expansion cards to connect multiple LEDs to a single output port on the battery box, managing cable complexity.
6. Connect Battery Box: Route the main cable from the expansion cards to the battery box. Place the battery box in a discreet location within the model, often in the undercarriage or rear section.
7. Connect Remote Control Receiver: Connect the receiver for the remote control to the battery box.
8. Install Remote Control Battery: Insert the required battery (usually AAA, not included) into the remote control.
9. Test the Lights: Turn on the battery box and use the remote control to cycle through the lighting functions (e.g., on/off, brightness, flashing modes).
10. Final Assembly: Carefully reassemble the LEGO model, ensuring all cables are tucked away and not pinched.

Remote Control Functions

The included remote control allows for:

• Power On/Off: Toggle the lights on and off.
• Brightness Adjustment: Control the intensity of the LEDs.
• Mode Selection: Activate different lighting effects if supported by the kit.

Troubleshooting

• Lights not working: Check battery installation, cable connections, and ensure the battery box is switched on. Verify the remote control is paired correctly.
• Flickering lights: Ensure all connections are secure. A weak battery can also cause flickering.

Maintenance

Replace batteries as needed. Keep the light kit clean and dry.
