Lighting Up the LEGO® Fast & Furious 1970 Dodge Charger with the Light My Bricks™ Vehicle Starter Pack
A Step-by-Step Guide: Lighting Your Vehicle LEGO® Set
Step 1: Plan Your Lighting Design
Before you begin, think about where you want the lights to go. For the Fast & Furious 1970 Dodge Charger, we decided to light up the iconic taillights using the red Astro regular lights included in the Vehicle Starter Pack.
These lights fit perfectly beneath the red tiles on the back of the car.
Step 2: Remove LEGO® Pieces for Access
To get started, carefully remove the rear red tiles and a few bricks around them so you can access the area underneath.
This gives you space to place the LEDs exactly where you need them.
Step 3: Install the Rear Taillights
Take a Regular Red Astro Light and place it between the two studs where the red tile was.
Once it's in position, gently press the red tile back on top to hold the light in place.
Repeat the same process on the other side of the car.
Step 4: Choose a Spot for the Dock and Hide the Cables
Because this is a fairly small LEGO® set, space for hiding cables and mounting the dock is limited. But if you flip the car over, you’ll find some open space underneath the chassis.
That’s where we mounted the dock using the included tethers from the Starter Pack.
Step 5: Route the Cables Neatly
After attaching the dock, carefully reattach all the LEGO® pieces you removed earlier.
While doing this, route the cables neatly underneath the build so they reach the dock without poking out.
Tidy cable placement really helps keep your build clean and display-ready.
Step 6: Add the Headlights
For the front of the car, we added Regular Warm White Astro Lights in the headlights to give the model a realistic look.
You can also use Cool White Astro Lights if you prefer a different vibe for your vehicle.
Step 7: Light Up the Interior
Want to add some extra glow? Try placing an Astro light under the roof to gently light the interior of the car. It’s a great way to show off interior details.
Step 8: Use Large Astro Lights for Bigger Builds
If you're working with larger sets like Technic or Creator Expert vehicles, the large Astro lights included in the Starter Pack are perfect.
They’re brighter and ideal for highlighting larger design features.
Step 9: Power Up!!!
To bring your model to life, simply plug the setup into any USB wall adapter or power bank (5V or higher).
Note: Power adapters aren’t included in the starter pack but are available in the Power section on the Light My Bricks™ website.
Step 10: Show Off Your Light Up Creation
With everything lit up, your LEGO® Dodge Charger is now a centrepiece of your display!
Whether it’s for your shelf or part of a custom layout, Light My Bricks™ lighting brings a whole new level of detail and atmosphere to your build. Happy building and lighting!
