LED Retrofit: BASICS
Even in the age of state-of-the-art LED lamps, many vehicles still have halogen lamps, also known as incandescent bulbs.
HELLA LED Retrofit light sources can be used to retrofit LED technology in place of halogen vehicle lighting. These LED retrofits offer exceptional brightness – and with increased illumination, more light shines on the road. In addition, a longer lifetime compared with halogen bulbs makes LED retrofits a great option for any driver.
Stylish optics with a cool white light cone give customers a daylight effect at night and make the driving experience more comfortable and enjoyable.
Design and function: FUNCTION
These Retrofit light sources have a built-in electric fan motor and a high-quality anodized aluminum heat sink that provides a large radiation surface. This enables effective heat dissipation, reducing the risk of overheating and ensuring optimal brightness at all times during operation. In addition, an integrated constant current driver prevents overheating by dimming the LED when temperatures increase. The Retrofit lamps are designed for 12V and 24V applications.
1. Light fixture with integrated overheating protection

Installation instructions: Important information
These Retrofit light sources are designed for insertion into the lamp retainer.
Ease of installation depends on the vehicle model or lamp and the clearances these provide. The vehicle's operating instructions may contain helpful information.
Note for drivers!
Many drivers change their own bulbs.
However, if you are not familiar with the processes and procedures, we recommend that you take your car to a garage to have the Retrofit light sources installed.
Note!
When doing so, please observe the maintenance and installation instructions issued by the respective system and vehicle manufacturer. Where necessary, use the installation or removal tools specified by the vehicle manufacturer.
