It uses a Hall IC that reacts to magnets — there's a magnet attached inside the forearm armor, and sliding the forearm armor forward/backward turns the LED ON/OFF.

This kit is HY2M-MG No. 16 — it's a light-up hand unit, not a light-up head. The contents include 2 God Finger arm units for the MG G Gundam. The LED unit is assembled differently from the previous light-up head kits, and it uses CR521SW mercury batteries.

The LED unit is a bit on the complex side, but if you follow the manual carefully and take your time, it's not all that difficult. The idea is that you attach a magnet inside the forearm armor, then slide the armor close to the Hall IC to turn the LED inside the wrist on and off.

The light-up effect is really impressive — dim the lights just a little and it looks pretty spectacular. It honestly feels like much better value for money compared to the light-up head, where the light source is tiny. Anyway, it's not the easiest kit to track down these days, but if you're a fan of G Gundam, this one is definitely worth picking up. :-)
