Step-by-Step Guide: How to Light Your LEGO® Kylo Ren™ Helmet
Step 1: Disassemble Helmet Panels and Interior Assemblies
Start by removing the helmet’s outer panels carefully. This opens up access to the internal structure.
Once those are off, gently remove the small interior assemblies that sit just inside the helmet structure.
Tip: Use a LEGO® brick separator to help with any stubborn pieces. Don’t worry if more or less comes off than expected—it’s all part of the process.
Now, remove the plate from underneath the helmet base. This creates a channel through the center of the stand for neat cable routing later.
This is what you will see once you have removed the plate.
Step 2: Building the Spotlights
Create your under-helmet spotlight effect with these steps:
Take a Cool White Astro 30cm Light.
Bend the LED back at a 90° angle, then thread the cable through an open stud plate
Top it with an Astro Cap for a finished look.
Grab two round plates with bar handles and a skeleton arm.
Attach the LED assembly to one of the plates.
Snap the skeleton arm onto the bar handle and connect it to the second plate.
Secure the second plate underneath to hold the spotlight structure together.
For clean cable management:
- Slot the cable down behind the top plate’s bar handle.
- Loop it back around and thread it through the same position on the bottom plate.
Repeat this process to build a second spotlight. Mount both spotlights to the front corners of the helmet stand.
Thread the cables up through the central channel.
Once the plugs appear on the other side, pull them through completely.
Next, attach the flux belt, following the exact same process for cable routing.
Then take two stud jumpers from your spotlight pack and attach them to the underside of the back corners of the stand so the set sits flush.
At the back of the stand, you’ll find a brick with Technic holes—thread all cables through one of these for a clean exit.
Step 3: Lighting Up The Faceplate
Split the faceplate into its upper and lower sections.
Thread an Astro Large Red 15cm light through a 1x1 round plate with an open stud, just as you did earlier for the spotlight.
Repeat this to make a second light, and mount both lights in place on the back of the faceplate.
For the bottom half of the faceplate:
Remove the dark tan plate as shown below.
Take another Astro Large Red 15cm light and bend the cable to 90° as shown
Then hold the light in place as shown, and click the plate back on top to secure it.
Once complete, reconnect the two faceplate halves.
Then re-attach some of the removed pieces back to the main build.
Step 4: Reassembly & Cable Routing Placement
When reattaching the faceplate:
- Carefully slide the cables through natural gaps as you re-attach the faceplate
Use the Technic hole in the back brick to channel all cables neatly out the back.
Re-attach some more pieces that were removed earlier.
While replacing the rear panels:
- Double-check that cables are running between or around studs to prevent bulging or misalignment.
Step 5: Powering Up Your Masterpiece
Now let’s bring your Kylo Ren™ helmet to life!
Attach a 1x6 tether to a Dock 6
Plug each of your light cables into any of the center ports, and plug your Flux Belt into either Belt Port on the sides of the Dock.
Attached the dock to the underside of the helmet is the area shown
Reattach the plate that was removed from underneath, being mindful to keep the cables running between studs.
Then, completely reassemble the rest of the helmet by attaching all previously removed panels back on
Plug the USB-A end of your Flux Belt into a power source (such as a wall adapter or power bank). Your helmet is now fully lit and powered—hidden wiring, sleek assembly, and that unmistakable Kylo Ren™ glow.
