What You’ll Need:

Step-by-Step Guide: How to Light Your LEGO® AT-AT Driver™ Helmet

Step 1: Removing parts

 Remove the back panel of the helmet, as well as the top and front.

Take off the bottom section of the face, including the part pictured below.

And then also the top section of the face.

Flip the build over and remove the 4 black plates, and then the tan plate from underneath.
Tip: Use a LEGO® brick separator to help with this.

Step 2: Spotlight Assembly

From the Spotlight Pack you will need these parts:

  • 1 x Astro Large Cool White 30cm Light
  • 1 x Round Plate 1x1 w Open Stud Black
  • 2 x Plate, Round 1 x 1 with Bar Handle
  • 1 x Arm Skeleton, Bent with Clips (Horizontal Grip)
  • 1 x Astro Cap

Take the Cool White Light, and bend the LED back at a 90° angle.

Then thread the cable through an open stud plate.

Attach the LED assembly to one of the modified plates.

Snap the skeleton arm onto the bar handle.

Attach the second plate to the other end of the skeleton arm.

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.

Finally, top it with an Astro Cap.

Repeat this process to build a second spotlight.

Mount both spotlights underneath the front corners of the helmet stand.

Step 3: Cable Management

Thread the cables up through the central channel of the stand.

Next, add the flux belt following the exact same process for cable routing.

Re-attached the tan plate that was removed from underneath.

As well as two of the black plates to the back of the stand.

Step 4: Lighting up the face

Remove the grey tile from the the top section of the face as shown below.

Take another Astro Large Cool White 30cm light from the Spotlight Pack.

Then re-attach that tile with the light positioned underneath, so that the LED will face the floor when the helmet is reassembled.

Ensure that this small sub-assembly is attached to the top section of the face to make it easier to connect to the main model.

Thread the light’s cable through any of the available gaps at the front of the main model.

Carefully pull the cable through the back of the helmet while attaching the face section back onto the main model.

Then the rest of the front and top of the helmet can be re-assembled.

Step 5: Adding Power

Take the Dock 6 from the spotlight pack.

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.

Tuck all excess cable length into the cavity in the centre of the build.

Turn the dock sideways and click it onto one of the white plates inside the helmet.

Then re-assemble the rest of the build.

Step 6: Finish it off

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!
