Introduction

This document explains how to install and set up the Brickstuff lighting kit for the LEGO Bugatti Chiron.

Note that these instructions are for the version of the kit that includes a white RF remote. If your kit has a red remote, you will need to follow a different set of instructions, available here.

This guide also includes installation instructions for our add-on LED spoiler-- check the last few steps for this.

Parts

No parts specified.

  1. Please note, these instructions are for the version of the kit that includes a white RF remote as shown int he first photo.  If your kit includes a red remote instead, you will need to follow a different set of instructions, available here. First, assemble your LEGO® set.  These instructions are written assuming you have already assembled your set. While you will only be doing minimal disassembly of your set during installation, installation will go much more smoothly if you have a pair of tweezers to help in routing the wires through Technic holes and throughout the model.  We sell our own tweezers on our website, or you can use any standard pair you might have at home.

  36. Your lighting kit includes a USB cable for power, but if you want to have your Bugatti lighting 100% self-contained, you can also use our 3AA battery pack (sold separately) to power the set.  This step shows how to mount the battery pack if you decide to use it instead of the USB cable. You can skip this step if you do not plan to use the battery pack. The battery pack fits perfectly in the flat space behind the seats and under the roof.  Connect the battery pack cable to one of the open plugs on the TRUNK11 effect controller (green arrow in the first photo).
    • Your lighting kit includes a USB cable for power, but if you want to have your Bugatti lighting 100% self-contained, you can also use our 3AA battery pack (sold separately) to power the set. This step shows how to mount the battery pack if you decide to use it instead of the USB cable.

    • You can skip this step if you do not plan to use the battery pack.

    • The battery pack fits perfectly in the flat space behind the seats and under the roof. Connect the battery pack cable to one of the open plugs on the TRUNK11 effect controller (green arrow in the first photo).

    • Carefully slide the battery pack into the open space behind the seats, making sure the switch is facing to the left (blue arrow, second photo).

    • Carefully gather all wires and adapter boards, and slide them into the area above the battery pack (between the battery and the roof of the car). Make sure the roof section will close on top of everything and not crush any wires or boards.

    • As shown in the third photo by the red arrow, the on/off switch for the battery pack should be visible through the gap between the roof panels. This makes it easy to turn the power on or off using a tweezers or pen tip even when the car is closed up.

  37. Only complete this step if you will not be using the 3AA battery pack and you will be using the USB power cable instead. There should be a 12" black connecting cable in Bag 1, along with a BRANCH04 adapter board.  You will use both parts now. As shown in the first photo (green circle), connect one end of the 12" black connecting cable to one of the open power connectors on the TRUNK11 effect controller.

    • As shown in the first photo (green circle), connect one end of the 12" black connecting cable to one of the open power connectors on the TRUNK11 effect controller.

    • As shown in the second photo, turn the car on its side and carefully route the black cable down to the bottom of the car (see the blue line in the second photo), making sure to avoid the tires so the wire will not get caught when the car moves.

    • As shown by the red arrow in the second photo, wrap the black cable around the light bluish gray Technic beam to secure it, so it won't come loose later and get caught in the wheels.

    • As shown in the third photo, connect the other end of the 12" black cable to one of the plugs on the BRANCH04 adapter board, then use a sticky square to attach the BRANCH04 board to the bottom of the car.

    • Make sure the car can still freely roll with the BRANCH04 adapter board attached. There should still be enough ground clearance.

    • You can connect the USB cable to either of the two remaining plugs on the BRANCH04 adapter board to power your lighting setup. Having the power connections on the bottom of the car makes it easier to connect/disconnect for transport without having to open the car up again.

  38. You should now have all lights, wires, and adapter boards mounted and secured.  The first photo shows the jumble of wires and boards-- it may look messy, but everything should still fit in the space under the roof when it is closed. If you will be attaching the spoiler add-on kit, skip to Step 40 to connect those lights before closing up your Bugatti, then come back to this step. As shown in the second and third photos, close the roof, re-attach the left and right Technic beams, and re-attach the left-side roof panels.

    • As shown in the second and third photos, close the roof, re-attach the left and right Technic beams, and re-attach the left-side roof panels.

    • Wires and adapter boards should not be visible once the roof is closed (wires should not hang down over the engine).

  39. As shown in the first photo, re-attach the right-side Technic panels. As shown in the second photo, carefully re-attack the long blue tube. Because of the Pico LED cable inside the black Technic pin at the front of the roof, it may be difficult to fully insert the blue tube in the front.  Push carefully so you don't damage the Pico LED wires.

    • Give yourself a thumbs-up for completing your lighting installation!

  40. In addition to the main Bugatti lighting kit, we also sell an add-on kit that includes the spoiler with seven red LEDs pre-mounted.  This section shows how to install the spoiler and connect its LEDs. If you don't have the spoiler add-on kit, you can move to Step 44 to see how the remote control works. As shown in the three photos in this step, carefully remove the main spoiler panel from its fins and mount, and remove the blue Technic beam behind the spoiler panel.

    • As shown in the third photo, re-attach the the blue Technic beam to the pre-lit spoiler panel provided with the add-on kit.

  41. Re-attach the spoiler to the car, and carefully run the LED cable down the left side and loop the wires through the holes in the interior Technic beam as shown. Be careful to loop the wires only through the innermost Technic beam and not through the outer beams.  This is so the spoiler will still be able to open and close smoothly without pinching any wires.

  42. As shown in the first two photos, remove the two rear side panels and left/right beams if needed to allow the rear roof section to open up. Route the wires as shown in the second photo, making sure the wires go behind the yellow shock absorbers as shown by the red square. As shown in the third photo, connect the spoiler LED cable to one of the available small connecting plugs on the BRANCH15 adapter.

    • As shown in the third photo, connect the spoiler LED cable to one of the available small connecting plugs on the BRANCH15 adapter.

    • The spoiler LED cable will just reach the BRANCH15 adapter board-- make sure you have routed the wiring so there is no extra slack, or the cable may not reach.

    • Close up your Bugatti and re-attach the beams and panels you removed at the beginning of this step.

    • The spoiler LEDs will now turn on and off along with the main tail light (fiber optic bar).

  43. The pre-lit spoiler should still move up and down as freely as it did before you installed the LEDs.

  44. When power is turned on (either via a connected USB cable or AA battery pack with the switch turned on), the lights in your Bugati will respond to the RF remote control included with your kit.
    • When power is turned on (either via a connected USB cable or AA battery pack with the switch turned on), the lights in your Bugati will respond to the RF remote control included with your kit.

    • Note that your remote is linked to its specific receiver, so other remote controls will not interfere with the signal.

    • Each button on the remote has two functions.

    • Pressing a button for one second or less is called a "short press" and will control a specific function as shown in the following steps. Short presses will be illustrated by an orange arrow.

    • Pressing and holding a button for two seconds or longer before releasing is called a "long press" and will control a different function than a "short press". Long presses will be illustrated by a green arrow.

    • It may take some time to get used to "short press" vs. "long press." Take your time and practice with the different options.

  45. To turn the main kit power on and off, perform a "long press" of the "D" button on your remote.

    • The master control board inside the Bugatti remembers its settings even when power is off.

    • If your Bugatti lights appear unresponsive (pressing other buttons on the remote does not control lights), it is likely that the master power is off. Press the main power button one time (to turn on master power), then try the other buttons again.

  46. A short press of the "A" button on your remote controls the headlights.  A short press  of the "A" button will start the "on" sequence, and each of the eight LEDs in the headlight assembly will turn on in a pattern modeled after the "real" Bugatti.  Repeating the short press will turn the headlights off via a similar lighting sequence.
