10317 Light Kit for LEGO Land Rover Classic Defender 90

Product Information

The Light My Bricks installation kit comes with various
components including expansion boards, connecting cables, adhesive
squares, and mixed components. The package also includes a USB
power cable, but the power source is not included. The kit includes
spare components marked with an asterisk (*).

Product Usage Instructions

Before You Begin

Before starting the installation process, it is important to lay
cables in between and underneath bricks. Take extra care when
inserting connectors to ports on the strip lights. Connectors can
be inserted only one way. With the strip light facing up, ensure
the side of the connector with the wires exposed is facing down. If
a plug won’t fit easily into a port connector, don’t force it as it
will damage the plug and the connector.

Connecting Cable Connectors to Expansion Boards

When connecting cable connectors to expansion boards, take extra
care to ensure that the micro connectors are inserted correctly
into the micro ports of micro expansion boards. With the expansion
board facing up, ensure that the side of the connector with the
wires exposed is facing down. If a plug won’t fit easily into a
port connector, use your fingernail to push the plastic part of the
connector to the micro port.

Connecting Cable Connectors to Strip Lights

Take extra care when inserting connectors to ports on the strip
lights. Connectors can be inserted only one way. With the strip
light facing up, ensure that the side of the connector with the
wires exposed is facing down. If a plug won’t fit easily into a
port connector, don’t force it. Doing so will damage the plug and
the connector.

The Symbols Used In This Guide

When going through the installation guide, pay attention to the
symbols and formats used. The most important image format is the
Light Kit Component, which indicates which part to use from the
Light Kit. Other symbols include Connect, Disconnect, Directional,
Bend/Pivot, Turn/Flip, Twist/Braid, and Power On Test. Notes will
also be found alongside the instruction photos to explain what to
do.

Before You Begin
Laying cables in between and underneath bricks
Cables can fit in between and underneath LEGO® bricks, plates, and tiles providing they are laid correctly between the LEGO® studs. Do NOT forcefully join LEGO® together around cables; instead ensure they are laying comfortably in between each stud. CAUTION: Forcing LEGO® to connect over a cable can result in damaging the cable and light.
BEFORE YOU BEGIN

LEGO® LAND ROVER CLASSIC DEFENDER 90 10317 LIGHT KIT INSTALL GUIDE
Connecting Cable Connectors To Expansion Boards
Take extra care when inserting connectors to ports of Expansion Boards. Connectors can be inserted only one way. With the expansion board facing up, look for the soldered “=” symbol on the left side of the port. The connector side with the wires exposed should be facing toward the soldered “=” symbol as you insert into the port. If a plug won’t fit easily into a port connector, do not force it. Incorrectly inserting the connector can result in bent pins inside the port or possible overheating of the expansion board when connected.

Connecting Micro Cable Connectors To Micro Expansion Board Ports
Take extra care when inserting the micro connectors to micro ports of Micro Expansion Boards. Connecting Micro Bit Lights to Micro Expansion Boards is similar to connecting lights and cables to Strip Lights. With the expansion board facing up, ensure the side of the connector with the wires exposed is facing down. If a plug won’t fit easily into a port connector, do not force it. Use your fingernail to push the plastic part of the connector to the micro port.

Before You Begin
Installing Bit Lights Under Lego® Bricks And Plates
When installing Bit Lights under LEGO® pieces, ensure they are placed the correct way up (Yellow LED component exposed). You can either place them directly on top of LEGO® studs or in between.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Light My Bricks lighting kits contain individual components that are very small and can be easily damaged if not handled correctly.

To prevent unnecessary damage to components, we highly recommend that the User Guide section, “Important things to note” is read carefully. Follow the handling procedures in the User Guide to help prevent faults and damages to your Light My Bricks components.

If you are experiencing issues with your Light My Bricks set, watch our troubleshooting video or read on for a list of common causes to help you troubleshoot.

Wenn Sie Probleme mit Ihrem Light My Bricks-Set haben, sehen Sie sich unser Video zur Fehlerbehebung an oder lesen Sie die Auflistung der häufigsten Ursachen, die Ihnen bei der Fehlersuche helfen hier.
Si vous rencontrez des problèmes avec votre kit Light My Bricks, regardez notre vidéo de dépannage ou consultez la liste des causes les plus fréquentes pour vous aider à les résoudre ici.
Se si verificano problemi con il set Light My Bricks, guardare il nostro video per la risoluzione dei problemi o leggere l’elenco delle cause più comuni per la risoluzione dei problemi qui.

TROUBLESHOOTING

50

Troubleshooting
Firstly, ensure that the batteries have power using a battery charge gauge. If the batteries have no power, replace the batteries. If the batteries still have power, check to see if the batteries have been inserted correctly into the battery pack.
TROUBLESHOOTING

LEGO® LAND ROVER CLASSIC DEFENDER 90 10317 LIGHT KIT INSTALL GUIDE
Check for AA batteries using the AA battery pack
Inside the battery pack are symbols indicating which direction the AA battery should be inserted. The flat side of the battery should be paired with the spring side of the battery pack. If the batteries have been installed correctly and your kit still isn’t operating correctly, the next step is to check the wiring.
51

Troubleshooting

LEGO® LAND ROVER CLASSIC DEFENDER 90 10317 LIGHT KIT INSTALL GUIDE

Check Your Wires

In order for Light My Bricks components to fit in between and underneath LEGO® bricks, the components need to be very small. Due to this nature, Light My Bricks components can be easily damaged when not handled correctly.
Be careful when removing unpacked components out of the packaging and ensure not to forcibly pull at the wires as this can damage the soldering that attach the wires to the LEDs.

If the wiring is detached from the LED itself, the light will not operate.
When connecting lights to your LEGO® set, check that there are no pinched wires underneath or in between bricks and plates. When the wires are pinched and the exposed wires are touching each other, this can cause a crosswire and the lights to not function correctly.

TROUBLESHOOTING

52

Troubleshooting
Check Your Expansion Board Ports/ Strip Light Ports / Effects Board Ports
It is important to note that connectors can only be inserted to the expansion board, strip light, or effects board ports in one direction. Forcibly inserting connectors in the incorrect direction will result in damaging the pins inside each of the ports on your component board. Not only will a light connected to the damaged port not work, but if the pins inside the port are bent to a point they are touching each other, this can result in all other lights in the system to stop working. This is a short circuit.
TROUBLESHOOTING

LEGO® LAND ROVER CLASSIC DEFENDER 90 10317 LIGHT KIT INSTALL GUIDE
A short circuit can also result in overheating of the board, cable or batteries. If you suspect a short circuit, DISCONNECT POWER IMMEDIATELY Batteries can fail, catch fire, or even explode if left connected to a short circuit for too long. If you suspect you have a faulty component due to a bent pin, try the following steps: If you look carefully inside each of the ports, each port contains 2 small pins that should be straight. You will be able to identify a faulty port if it has any bent pins.
