About this Headlight

The HELLA 004785111 headlight assembly lights the road ahead and makes your car visible to others. Housings can yellow, crack or fog with moisture over time, and damaged units reduce light output and may fail inspection.

Frequently asked questions

When should I replace a headlight assembly?

When the lens is cracked, badly yellowed or cloudy, the housing lets moisture in, the mounting tabs are broken, or the internal reflector has deteriorated so the beam is weak.

Does the headlight come with bulbs or modules?

It depends on the product. Some assemblies include bulbs, ballasts or LED modules and some do not; check the product details and transfer or buy the missing parts as needed.

Do I need to match halogen, xenon or LED?

Yes. Halogen, xenon (HID) and LED headlights use different housings, wiring and control units. Choose the type that matches your car's original equipment unless the product says otherwise.

Do the headlights need aiming after installation?

Yes. Have the aim checked and adjusted after fitting a new headlight so it lights the road properly without dazzling other drivers. Some cars with adaptive or automatic leveling lights also need a calibration.

How do I make sure this headlight assembly fits my car?

Compare the part numbers listed on this page with the number on your old part or in your vehicle's parts catalog, and check the fitment information. If you are unsure, contact us with your VIN before ordering.
