Step-by-Step Guide: How to Light Your LEGO®Shuttle Carrier Aircraft

Step 1: Removing Parts

Remove the shuttle from the back of the aircraft.

Remove the engine shroud from the shuttle.

Open up the cargo bay, preferably without destroying the doors.

Remove all five of the engines and the connector for the engines.

Step 2: Lighting the Cockpit

You will need the following parts:

Remove pieces from the cockpit.

Place the remaining Astro Large Warm White 30cm Light where the black 2x2 slope and 1x2 plate were. Reattach all the pieces to pin them in place.

Connect the light into the 6 Dock.

Step 3: Lighting the Engines

You will need the following parts:

Remove the tail fin and the engine assemblies from the back of the shuttle.

Take one of the large main engines, and remove the 2x2 round plate.

Place a 1x1 Tether in the middle of the cone.

Thread the cable of the Solar Light through the 1x1 Tether and through the cone. Clip the Solar Light down onto the tether.

Cap the Solar Light with the Orange Solar Cap.

Replace the 2x2 round plate, and repeat these steps for the remaining engines until all three are done.

Remove panels from the connector.

Place each engine onto the bar handles.

For the centre engine, you can remove the 1x2 White Slope on the connector, and run the cable under that when replacing that panel.

For the side engines, run the cable under the panel when replacing.

Remove the two large arch pieces from the rear of the shuttle.

Connect the main engine assembly to the exposed technic pin, and run all the cables through to the cargo hold.

For the smaller engines, remove the black 1x2 Brick with Technic Hole and the white 2x3 Plate.

Place one of the 1x1 Cone pieces into the technic hole.

Thread one of the 30cm Astro Large Flickering Orange Lights through a Transparent Orange 1x1 Round Plate with Open Stud. Place an Astro Cap over the light.

Thread the cable through the cone, and clip into place.

Replace the assembly, and repeat for the other side.

Once both sides are done, replace the engine shroud on the shuttle. You may need to readjust the three main engine cables for it to sit flush.

Plug all of the cables into the 6 Dock.

Step 4: Connecting the Shuttle

You will need the following parts: 

Remove pieces from the belly of the shuttle.

Replace the 4x12 plate and the 1x2 plate with rail.

Plug the 50cm Belt into the 6 Dock, and run the belt through the hole in the cargo bay.

Reattach any forgotten pieces, like the arches, and close the cargo bay doors.

Pull the cable tightly, without disconnecting it from the dock, and reattach the plate.

Replace the tail fin of the shuttle.

On the plane, figure out which side of the plane to remove pieces from. It should be the side where there is an empty port available on the 3 Dock under the wing. If your side does not match the side shown in the pictures here, mirror all of the instructions.

Remove pieces from the side as shown.

Connect the shuttle onto the plane.

Plug the 50cm Belt into the 3 Dock under the wing.

Pull the cable taut, and clip it in place with the 1x6 plate that was just removed.

Pull the cable into the plane, and replace the tile and slope.

Hide as much of the 50cm belt as possible in the aeroplane, and replace the side.

Replace the remaining pieces and power on.
