Description

Blast back to where part of the LEGO universe began! Light up the LEGO Galaxy Explorer 10497 with a big bang - and Light My Bricks!

Our kit is the perfect addition to complement this celebratory LEGO set, with an astronomical 85 individual LEDs that will allow you to highlight the multitude of classic LEGO Space details - and take your collectable display to heights out of this world! Each of the Galaxy Explorer’s rear jet boosters are powerfully lit with a 3x3 Warm White Light Ring, while up front those asteroid blasting cannons fire away in rapid succession, clearing a safe path forward thanks to a pair of our Blue Bit Lights and a Gun Effects Boards!

Our light kit assembly ensures full functionality and playability once installed, thanks to our easy-to-follow instructions! Retract the craft’s landing legs and ramp. Open the rear door and cockpit where you’ll find a hive of space activity - thanks to both our Red to Blue and Green to Orange Colour Changing Bit Lights!

The action doesn’t stop there however, interplanetary beings will observe the craft moving through space due to a pair of our Rotating Bit Lights signalling on either side of the hull!

Light My Bricks LEGO Lighting Kits provide an easy way for LEGO fans to customize their models using LED lights. With detailed, step-by-step instructions, anyone can light up their LEGO set. All our kits are plug and play - no electronics knowledge needed!

A fantastic addition to this re-invented classic set

This is a great way to add some more pop to your Galaxy Explorer and is excellently done. From my experience with these kits (8 so far and more to come!), this one was a well instructed and easy to put together and the combinations of colour changing, flashing and ring lights add some excellent touches.

Light it up, that spacehip

Althought this ledkit is more expensive than set itself........., it is all worth the money. Really amazing al those leds. Only to bad that red and green lights are not placed like in real life, so you know what is right and left. I changed that and ordered a few ledlights extra to do it right :P . Adding pieces which are not real lego is also not very nice, lucky I had the real stuff at stock.

Just look at video and judge by yourself if you like it of not. And added a black lightmybrick minifig too as spaceminifig.

Works like a charm

The final result of the kit is really great. I love all the different points of illumination and the special effects, such as color-changing, rotating and flashing lights. The only thing that isn't for me, are the instructions: They are too detailed for my taste and I found them often hard to figure out. I was also a bit disappointed that I only received a PDF instead of printed instructions. I would have preferred more of a diagram, showing where the cables are to go along and where the main compontents need to sit in the end. I ended up putting the cables in different places anyway, to hide them even better than the instructions suggested. E.g., if you use a 4L bar in the engines instead ot the original technic axle, you can put the cable all the way through on the inside of the thrusters. Therefore: I love the kit, but not the instructions. Try to give more schematics in the future and reduce the photographic steps.
