To overcome the often tricky issue of bulb selection for a vehicle HELLA has developed a useful online tool which can be accessed at www.hella.com/MicroSite/bulbs/en/.   HELLA’s filament bulb configuration tool helps both motor factors and workshops easily find the most suitable bulb for the vehicle and covers passenger cars, vans and trucks.

Selecting the correct bulb for headlights, ancillary and even interior lights is often far from easy but this tool allows for fast and accurate selection. Once the vehicle make, model, year and lighting type have been selected, the tool reveals the standard bulb for the application, while also providing information concerning HELLA’s alternative options. These include Lifetime, Performance, Design and Xenon, making it easy for users to find the most suitable bulb quickly and efficiently. They can then take advantage of the tool’s ability to demonstrate the visual effect of each option, through its ‘compare mode’ tab.

The ‘compare mode’ tab allows users to view a 3D visualisation for each selection in order for them to see how the bulbs will illuminate the road in a realistic environment, so making it easier to understand the difference between them and therefore find the most appropriate solution. This feature is also ideal for the workshop/customer relationship, as it allows them to demonstrate a commitment to provide customers with choice.
