HELLA Retrofit interior lighting

• Ruggedness: LED lamps do not have a filament and are therefore more resistant to vibrations. This is a distinct advantage in vehicles.
• Less heat produced: LEDs generate less heat than filament bulbs. This reduces the thermal load on surrounding components in the vehicle.
• Longer lifetime (switching stability): LEDs can be switched on and off more frequently without reducing their lifetime. This is easy on the wallet.
• Energy efficiency: A standard filament bulb produces light by heating the filament. This means that most of the electrical energy is converted into heat and not light. The LED behaves differently here, converting almost all of the energy provided into light.
• Intense high-contrast light: The LED retrofits produce a bright light similar to daylight that effectively illuminates the interior.

In most cases, the bulb can be replaced without extensive dismantling. The majority of the lamps in the interior are easily accessible and can be replaced according to the "plug-and-play" principle.

The retrofit light sources are designed so that they can be inserted into existing filament bulb holders. The replacement is along the same lines as a standard filament bulb. The real challenge is accessing the lamp holder. It is often not immediately obvious how the elegantly designed lamp is mounted in the vehicle. It may be helpful to refer to the operating instructions for the respective vehicle in this case. They usually describe the points to observe when replacing a light source.
