The DIY Light Bundle for the LEGO® 2 Fast 2 Furious Nissan Skyline GT-R (R34) Car #42210:

Guest Designer

Hey! I'm Matt, also known as @matts_brickcollection. I’ve been a huge Fast & Furious and Paul Walker fan for as long as I can remember—so as soon as I got my hands on the R34 Skyline, I knew I had to light it up. My goal with this build was to stay as true as possible to the car’s iconic look in 2 Fast 2 Furious. The result? A supercharged display piece that looks ready to hit the streets of Miami. Lighting this set took me straight back to 2003, and it was an absolute blast to bring such a legendary ride to life.

Lighting Inspiration

The Nissan Skyline GT-R (R34) is one of the most recognisable cars in cinematic history, and it deserved a lighting setup that did it justice. I knew right away that the signature blue underglow from the movie had to be the focal point. To recreate it, I used two custom Astro Light String with 8 Cool Blue LEDs—this gave the car a clean, even glow across the entire underside, just like in 2 Fast 2 Furious.

For the front end, I added 4 Regular Astro Warm White lights in the headlights to give them that unmistakable brightness without looking too modern. In the back, I installed 4 Regular Astro Red lights to make those classic round taillights pop. Lastly, I added two Large Astro Blue lights beneath the front seats to fill the interior footwells with a rich, vibrant blue glow—another screen-accurate detail from the film.

With all these effects combined, the R34 looks like it’s ready to drift into a late-night street race straight out of the movies.

Feature Highlights

Blue Underglow Light String

The defining feature of this lighting kit is the iconic blue underglow—a must-have for any Fast & Furious fan. I used the Light My Bricks™ Astro Light String, a custom component with 8 evenly spaced Cool Blue LEDs, to create the perfect neon effect. The string mounts cleanly beneath the chassis, and thanks to the ultra-thin flex cable, the entire assembly stays sleek and hidden. The result is a striking blue glow that feels straight out of the 2000s tuner scene. It transforms the car into a display piece with serious street cred.
