HERO Hideaway

HERO, is the first ever corner led module that inserts directly into the socket hole of the OE bulb. It replaces a vehicle turn signal, or brake light and then adds warning lights to your vehicle without drilling any holes in factory housings. Say goodbye to long adhesive dry times – and it powers right from the socket, simplifying the wiring process.

HELLA has designed HERO specific vehicle adapters to provide a smooth and tight fit for a variety of vehicles. Check out our vehicle application overview in the Download area below.

HERO goes above and beyond the standard concealed lightheads by also functioning as the original indicator light. The adapters position the lighthead in the exact place of the original bulb which always ensures equal light distribution and good visibility.

Every HERO model is able to flash in all four warning colors – Red / Blue / Amber / White. So, the same HERO lighthead can be used for police and security vehicles, ambulances, fire trucks, tow trucks, roadside assistance and construction vehicles. You can select the individual HERO lightheads to flash whatever color combination you need and connect multiple units to flash in sync.

HERO is designed for Stop, Tail, Turn and Reverse light replacements and comes in 3 different versions/indicator colors.

White designed for Reverse lights
Amber designed for Turn Signals/Park lights
Red designed for Stop/Tail/Turn Signals

HERO 1.0
Our Original HERO series is a regular LED Lighthead, that comes with multiple selectable colors and flash patterns to choose from. Use the 8ft sync/program cable to pick the color/pattern combination you intend to use by applying the blue programming wire to 12V.

HERO FLEX SERIES – NEW !!!!
The Flex series comes without a built-in flashing controller, every color is “steady burn”.

It is the responsibility of the installer to choose the color and program the flash pattern with an external siren.

The HERO Flex series offers capability of color choice, flash pattern and the synchronization of multiple lightheads. The 8ft siren integration cable holds four individual wires, one for each color (R/B/W/A).

The HERO Flex lightheads have the capability to be operated with a dimmed power input signal (example: cruise/low light mode). Download the Install Manual for more information.

LIGHTHEADS

Every HERO Lighthead has all 4 warning colors (R, B, A, W) integrated.
The difference in the part numbers below is just the LEDs that are in charge for the OE indicator function.
