This section details the process of installing the warm white LED lights and routing their associated wires throughout the front and interior of the LEGO Mini Cooper model.
- 1.1 Component Preparation: Begin by unpacking the 15cm Bit Lights (Warm White) and the thin connecting wires.
- 1.2 Front Section Wiring: Carefully route wires and connect LED lights to the front of the model, including areas around the headlights, grille, and engine bay. This involves tucking wires behind LEGO bricks and ensuring they are positioned correctly to avoid damage. The license plate "R682 AHS" is visible on the model during these steps.
