LEGO Ferrari F40 (10248) Lighting Kit Installation Instructions

Assemble your LEGO® set.

Open your Brickstuff lighting kit and remove the parts. There should be four bags plus a USB cable, as shown in this photo.

As shown in the second photo in this step, carefully remove the parts from the front headlight section of the car as shown.

Carefully remove the left and right headlight assemblies, making sure the blue Technic pins remain inserted into the headlight sections.

Remove the two top red slopes with the headlight stickers on them. You won't need these any longer, so you can set them aside or put them back into the LEGO® box your Ferrari set came in.

Your Brickstuff kit includes two 3-light assemblies with "Smaller than Pico" (STP) LEDs. These lights fit on top of LEGO® studs, but before mounting them, it is important to prepare the wires on two of the three LEDs in each bunch.

The green arrows show how the LED wires need to be bent in order to prevent them being cut when completing the next step.

Remove the four transparent 1x1 LEGO® slopes from Bag #2 of the kit. You will use these to snap on top of the STP LEDs and mount them in place as the new headlights.

As shown in the photos, make sure the yellow part of the LED is facing up and is as close to the center of the LEGO® stud as possible when snapping the slopes on top of the LEDs.

Repeat for both headlights as shown in the third photo.

Using the included USB cable and BRANCH03 adapter board, test the headlight assembly you completed in the previous step. Both headlights should light up.

Next you will mount the third LED in the headlight bunch into the lower front position.

As shown by the blue square, tilt up the headlight cover so you can feed the LED wire through the yellow bracket.

As with the main headlight assembly, make sure the LED is in the center of the LEGO® stud opening as shown by the blue arrow in the second photo, and prepare the LED by bending its wires over the edge of the stud opening with your fingernail.

Carefully re-attach the outer headlight cover as shown in the third photo.

As shown in the first photo, wind the wires for the two main headlight LEDs around the blue Technic pin.

Carefully re-insert the headlight assembly back onto the main body of the car, pressing all the way in and making sure the LED wires remain on the outside of the pin and don't get pinched inside the grooves.

Pull in any loose LED wires so no wires are visible outside of the car body.

If you mounted the main headlight wires correctly in the previous steps, you should be able to move the main headlights into the fully up position without pulling on the wires as shown in the second photo.

As you did in Step 6, test the headlights one more time to make sure all three lights work correctly.

As shown by the blue arrows in the first photo, gently separate the plates under the hood so the headlight wires can run between one of the LEGO® studs.

Carefully re-attach the plates you removed to run the wires. The wires should now run into the center of the underside of the hood.

Re-attach the bricks on the left side of the hood that you removed in Step 2.

Repeat Steps 4-11 for the right side of the car to mount the other set of headlights.

As shown in the second photo, connect the two headlight assemblies to the small connectors on the BRANCH03 adapter board, and connect the included black 12" cable to the large connector on the BRANCH03 board.

As shown in the third photo, put a small sticky square on the back of the BRANCH03 adapter board for mounting in the next step.

Remove the dark bluish gray arches between the wheels (blue arrows in the first photo), run the LED wires underneath, and attach the BRANCH03 adapter board next to the white brick as shown.

Re-attach the dark bluish gray arches.

As shown by the orange arrow and the third photo, make sure the black connecting cable extends behind the white brick.

Remove the LEGO® parts on the left side of the car as shown. This should expose the four Technic axles under the drivers' seat.

Run the black 12" extension cable above the Technic axles.

Carefully re-attach the side panels and parts you removed in the previous step, being careful not to catch the black extension cable and pinch it.

As shown in the second photo, you should now have the black extension cable extending out to the bottom of the car, with enough length to reach up into the back hatch (you will run the cable this way in a later step).

As shown in the photo, carefully remove the parts shown to expose the tail light assembly.

As shown in the first photo, remove the large orange and red transparent LEGO® dishes from the rear of the car.

Bag#3 of this kit includes two orange Pico LEDs, and Bag #4 includes two red Pico LEDs. You will mount all four LEDs in this step.

To mount each LED, carefully place it over the top of the LEGO® stud hole as shown, and GENTLY press the round transparent LEGO® part back down over the LED wire.

The first photo shows what the tail light assembly should look like once you have mounted the four Pico LEDs and re-attached the four transparent LEGO® dishes.

As shown in the second and third photos, take the black connecting cable you ran from the front of the car in Steps 15-16, pull it up from the bottom of the car into the space under the rear hatch, and secure the cable with the light gray 1x3 plate.

Connect the two red two orange tail lights to the small plugs on the BRANCH15 4-port adapter included with this kit.

Connect the black connecting cable to the large plug on the LEFT side of the BRANCH15 adapter board as shown in the second photo.

Use two sticky squares to mount the BRANCH15 adapter board as shown in the third photo.

Re-attach the LEGO® parts you removed in Step 18, making sure that all LED wires run BETWEEN studs and not on top of them.

Connect the USB power cable to the RIGHT side large plug on the BRANCH15 adapter board.

Carefully route the power cable out the bottom of the car behind the wheels, and close the rear hatch.

Connect the USB adapter to a standard mains adapter, and all 10 lights in your kit should come on.

Enjoy, and thank you for purchasing this Brickstuff lighting kit!

Your lighting kit includes a sheet of red stickers, which are designed to cover the top and sides of the clear headlight slopes.

Begin by tilting the headlights of your Ferrari all the way up, so you can fully access the sides of the clear pieces.

Using a tweezers, carefully remove the rectangle stickers and apply two of each to the top of the right and left headlights as shown in the second photo.

Carefully remove the triangle (side) stickers and apply them to both sides of each headlight as shown.

The third photo shows what the completed assembly should look like from one side.

Your headlights should now look as realistic as the real-world Ferrari!
