OP here, sorry about the delay folks, I've been extremely busy and haven't had a chance to work on these. Like I said earlier, there's no real texture file for these yet, I needed a texturing tutorial before I could whip them up.
As far as "real" helmets are concerned, none are available. There are a few fan made versions, but they're not for sale. The concerns about the lighting, however, only applies to the Discovery version from '97. With the release of Human After All in '05 Daft Punk opted for newer helmets, with no electronics. It is these versions which are used in the videos for that album, are currently used in concert and in their film Electroma. There were a few dozen softer-detailed vacuum-formed background helmets made for that film, but they were kept under tight guard and all were accounted for at the end of production.
The texture maps are simple enough for these guys. Guy-Man is gold, with a black front dome. The outer face of the rounded disc in his "ear" is black, the center cylinder underneath that is silver, the one facing forward is green, the one facing back is red, and the additional "dome" on the back of the head is covered with vertically running wires, primarily white interspersed with red and green and occasionally intertwining.
Sorry for not having a real update, but life has been kicking my ass.
