I believe the answer is:

zeppelin

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'craft' is the definition.
(type of aircraft)

'group removing part that lights up' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'part' could be 'in' (synonyms) and 'in' is located in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?
