Daytime Running Lamps
About Safety DayLights™
Failing to see another road user in time to avoid (or at all) is a contributing factor in over 50% of all daytime accidents. For daytime intersection accidents this increases to as much as 80%.

Why Install HELLA LED Safety DayLights™?
HELLA Safety DayLights™ are designed to enhance the visibility of your vehicle to other road users during daylight hours. Low beam headlamps on the other hand, are designed to effectively light up the road in front of the vehicle during darkness, whilst causing as little glare as possible to oncoming traffic…
Hence during daytime, low beam headlamps ‘waste’ almost all of their light which is directed to the road in front of the vehicle but provides very little as a signal or warning to the driver of an oncoming vehicle in bright daylight.
Low Beam Headlamps
Head lamps are designed to light the road at night without causing glare to other road users.
HELLA LED Safety DayLights™
Safety Daylights™ are designed to increase the visibility of your vehicle during the brightest of daylight hours, your low beam headlamps are not.

Be Safe Be Seen
Safety DayLights™ (DRL’s) are forward facing LED warning Lamps that enhance the visibility of your vehicle during daylight hours to prevent vehicle crashes by ‘accidental oversight’. They greatly reduce the risk of a serious or fatal collision with a predestrian.
As road users we have all experienced the ‘fright second’ of an almost crash, almost being overlooked by another car, van or truck, or as equally frightening almost not noticing another vehicle approaching due to an difficult to see vehicle colour, or the setting sun casting harsh shadows, which can momentarily obscure the approaching vehicle.
Any single one of these ‘fright seconds’ has the potential to end in a tragic outcome and an increase in the road toll statistics.

Low Beam Headlamps
HELLA LED Safety DayLights™ are:
A “never forget” safety enhancement. They automatically switch ON when the ignition is switched ON and will automatically switch OFF when the headlamps or park lights are turned on.
Higher performance using 95% less than your low beam headlamps, this could save as much as 0.2 litres of fuel per 100km.
Using headlamps during the day does elevate your fuel consumption and will result in expensive headlamp bulbs requiring more frequent replacements.
Design is based on a “Fit and Forget” solution using the highest quality components, LEDs and other materials. HELLA lamps are engineered and tested to the most stringent standards, to suit the most demanding environmental conditions. HELLA has provided innovative solutions that have been incorporated into millions of lamps on every continent on earth. This ultra-durable lamp can also extend the life of your headlamps by reducing their use during the day.
Maximise your Vehicle Visibility
HELLA LED Safety DayLights™ are designed specifically to make your vehicle conspicuous to other road users and pedestrians, low beam headlamps on the other hand are designed to effectively light up the road in front of the vehicle after dark, whilst causing as little glare as possible to oncoming traffic thus not effectively producing a light that is easily seen during the day.
