Hella Antares LED 9" Driving Lights (Pair)

The HELLA Antares 9-Inch LED Driving Lights combine outstanding long-distance visibility, broad roadside illumination and distinctive styling in one premium driving-light kit. Developed for Australian and New Zealand driving conditions, the Antares uses advanced HELLA lighting technology to create a powerful composite beam suitable for highways, country roads, four-wheel-drive tracks and remote-area travel.

Each light combines precision projector LEDs, wide-beam LED clusters and HELLA’s unique umbrella-reflector technology. This carefully engineered arrangement provides strong long-range illumination while also spreading light across the road shoulders, helping the driver identify wildlife, obstacles, changing road conditions and other potential hazards earlier.

Advanced Composite Beam

The Antares lighting system combines different LED and optical technologies to deliver balanced illumination across long, medium and wide distances.

Long-Range Projector LEDs

Precision projector LEDs concentrate light further down the road, producing a total beam distance exceeding 800 metres at 1 lux. This extended reach is particularly valuable during highway driving, remote-area touring and night travel through areas with limited roadside lighting.

Wide-Beam LED Clusters

Eight wide-beam LED clusters help spread light across the road and surrounding environment. The wide beam can illuminate an area approximately 80 metres across at distances beyond 150 metres, improving awareness of roadsides, intersections, animals and obstacles.

Umbrella-Reflector Technology

The distinctive diamond-glow position lights use HELLA’s umbrella-reflector technology to create an impressive mid-range beam approximately 46 metres wide at distances exceeding 650 metres, contributing to a smooth and consistent field of illumination.

Multiple Operating Modes

The Antares system offers several lighting functions for different driving conditions:

• High-output mode: Maximum driving-light performance for dark roads and remote travel
• Low-output mode: Reduced intensity for improved comfort where full output is unnecessary
• Daytime running light: Helps increase vehicle visibility during daylight
• Position light: Creates a distinctive appearance while improving vehicle visibility in low-light and urban environments

The ability to select high or low output helps the driver tailor the lighting performance to the road, weather and surrounding traffic conditions.

Intelligent Protective Covers

The supplied Antares protective covers help shield the lenses from stones, insects, sand, mud and road contaminants when the main driving lights are not being used.

When the covers are fitted, the system automatically disables the main driving beam and activates the integrated daytime running light. The distinctive Antares lighting signature remains visible through the covers, giving the vehicle a recognisable appearance during daylight travel.

Built for Harsh Conditions

The rugged die-cast aluminium housings are engineered to withstand vibration, impact and demanding environmental conditions. Hard-coated, UV-stable polycarbonate lenses help resist yellowing, scratching and damage from prolonged exposure to sunlight and road debris.

An IP69K protection rating provides resistance against dust and high-pressure water, making the Antares suitable for four-wheel drives, commercial vehicles, trucks and touring vehicles regularly exposed to dirt, mud and severe weather.
