LED retrofit
LED Retrofit – a strong piece of HELLA technology -
Modern halogen lamps provide a proper road illumination to many vehicles. However, as good as they may be, they cannot rival the superior LED technology!
Brighter, stronger, cooler: Up until now, the only way to enjoy bright, daylight-like light colour provided by LED’s was to use LED headlights. This is no longer the case!
HELLA is proud to introduce a full portfolio of LED retrofit lamps. Car drivers equipped with halogen fog lights can easily upgrade to the advantages of LED technology. The broad product range offers a high coverage of vehicles.

DISCLAIMER: These products are not approved for use on public roads. On-Road use will lead to cancellation of operating license and loss of insurance coverage. It is in your own responsibility to comply with local legal requirements. Not for sale in USA/Canada for High Beam/Low Beam.
Features
Special heat dissipation: The Retrofit bulbs are equipped with a built-in motor fan and a high-quality aluminium heat sink with anodized coating, providing a large radiation area. Thus, the heat can be dissipated effectively, reducing the danger of overheating, and ensuring an optimal brightness at any time of operation.
The Retrofit bulbs work for both 12V and 24V applications.
The innovative brand new all-in-one bulb design includes an integrated driver box, offering multiple advantages. The constant current driver prevents overheating by automatically dimming at high temperatures. The compact driver box provides more space for the bulb body while the centre ring facilitates easy fitting.
Installation by a workshop recommended
However, the installation of Retrofit Bulbs should not be carried out by customers themselves, but by professional workshops – for the following reasons:
- In some cases, a canbus adaptor may be necessary, especially in cars with bulb failure detection.
- Due to limited space in the engine compartment, it may be challenging to insert the bulbs into the socket properly. To avoid damages, the installation should be done by a professional workshop
- It may be necessary to use separate connector rings in order to fit the Retrofit bulbs into the socket. Choosing the suitable ring should be left to a professional.
- Professional workshops are able to perform a proper fault analysis in case of malfunction.
