Hella Question

MAlby7 · Mar 29, 2005

I searched but could not find a good enough answer.

I recently picked up a used set of E-Spec Hella Projectors. Unfortunately two of the lenses on the driver's side are cracked. They do not leak but I still want to replace them. Now I looked on the hella site and found replacement part numbers for both Halogen and Xenon applications.

Part Numbers:

68136 --> 90mm Halogen Headlamp DE Module High Beam
68137 --> 90mm Halogen Headlamp DE Module Low Beam

68138 --> 90mm Xenon High Beam
68139 --> 90mm Xenon Low Beam

Now my question is in reference to the Xenon they have listed under that part numbers (68138 & 68139); are these the same as HID's or are these halogen housings with the "Xenon Look Alike" bulbs?

Also are these Xenon ones much more expensive than the Halogen ones?

Xenon is the gas inside an HID bulb capsule, HID is the description of the system (high intensity discharge). So yes, they are the same thing.
The part #s, 68138/68139, are for HIS applications only. You have to have the D2S bulb, ballast, and needed wiring as well as the 90mm module. This can all be purchased together for $450-$550 for each side.

For your E-spec hellas, you need part #1BL 008 193 007. That is for an H7 bulb, which is stock E-spec hella size. YOu can purchase them from:
Puma phone (800) 333-7862
or
email: info@trendparts.de
For the highs, I'm not sure what size bulb it takes, I cant remember right now. But I'm sure Puma could help with that as well.
And for your reference.

RallyLights 90mm Hella page
Pretty much anything you are going to need, you can get from RallyLights.com (I've bought a few things from them, and they have been great to deal with everytime)

(I personally haven't shopped at Puma, but I hear good things about them too)

hella referred me to puma but rallylights.com is in the same state as me so i support them.

Has anyone ever gotten replacement lenses for their E-spec hellas?

sprout2287 · Mar 29, 2005

I replaced mine with a-spec hella lenses because they were half the price. $58.75 for a spec, and $112.85 for the e-spec. I did this just a week ago actually. both of my low beams had cracks in them, so I went with the 65 watt h9's. The new lamps are way brighter than my old ones. The beam pattern is right now too.
Got them from here...

Are there any differences between the a-spec and the e-spec ones beside the bulbs type (H7 vs. H9)? Could you please tell me the difference?

beam pattern maybe?? since Euro cars are driven on the opposite side of the road... but i dont know if thats the diff or not

sprout2287 · Mar 30, 2005

The mounting points are the same, the lenses are the same too. The plugs for the bulbs are different, so you'll have to buy the h9 adapters. I think it was an extra $10 or so.

Also, h9's are sorta hard to come by, compared to h7's. Pep girls and advanced didn't stock them. The guy @ susquehanna motorsports (rally lights .com) said they would become more available soon, due to OE's using them in more applications as of late.

The beam pattern for the e's goes like this\__ \__ where as the a's go opposite: __/ __/. You can change this as you want though. I had my e's like this \__ __/. all you have to do is unscrew it and spin it.

What is the difference in light output when you compare the H9's to the H7's?

Silfox · Mar 30, 2005

H7 55W 1500Lumens
H9 65W 1800Lumens

To find H9. I got them from the dealership at 28 $ can each.

Ok onto another request.

Does anyone have a wiring diagram for the E-spec Hella Projectors? These are the ones with the leveling thing on it. Also what do I need to make that leveling thing work?

MatthewsJW3 · Mar 31, 2005

sent you an email with the diagram

MAlby7 · Mar 31, 2005

sent you an email with the diagram

Thanks! I gotta study these diagrams and try to figure what's going on!

heathsS2FOCUS · Mar 31, 2005

Can you pm those also to me?? Same issues. Thanxs

MAlby7 · Apr 1, 2005

Ok I got the diagramsnow but I am still unsure exactly what I need besides wiring to complete these lights. I see relays all over the place and connectors. Can someone tell me a list of what I need like relays, connectors and whatnot?

MAlby7 · Apr 3, 2005

heathsS2FOCUS · Apr 3, 2005
