    Yes they do. You can replace two-funcrion bulbs with the Hero's. They have a dimmed Park/Marker light and the bright Turn/Stop light integrated. Hero's connector gets the signal directly from the OE bulb socket, so you don't have to do/program anything, everything works automatically.

    HELLA is working on a new electronic concept to run the HEROs also on Dodge. These new HEROs should be available towards the end of the year.

    You are 100% correct on this one. During the "off"-time of the turn signal (inbetween the turn signal impulses) the HERO Flex think they are off and will light up in the defined warning strobe color. You have to tell the siren controller, to shut off the Hideaway's warning function (siren...

    The HEROs come with a built in resistor, that prevents fast flashing or dash board bulb out messages. Yes the HERO Flex is available. We have plenty on stock and are ready to go. :cool:

    Hello group, The new HERO Flex series will be available starting next week. These new HEROs have been designed/optimized for SIREN USE ONLY. They still are equipped with Red, Blue, Amber and White LEDs. But the Flex series has four individual wires, one for each color (R/B/W/A). The Flex...

    Right now, our HEROs can't be used on Dodge, due to their electronic. You will get bulb outage warnings on your dashboard and a fast flashing turn signal. But, we are investigating in a new electronic concept right now to make them work on Dodge as well. Once we finished our field tests and...

    If you mean green Hella Heros, yes. Sorry. The market was pushing for the Flex Series, so this had a higher priority and took quite some time. But I will definitely put it on my to do list for upcoming range extension projects. I think there is also a market for those. I see more and more videos...

    Hello, Thanks for your feedback. We know that there is room for improvement when it comes to info, pics and videos. Since our launch in March 2020 there were a lot of things happening. Besides the Covid-19 crisis, we put a lot of time into the continuous expandation of our adapter range...

    @laley210: I've heard from your install issues and I'm sorry to hear that you were not able to get them "squeezed" into the 2016-19 Explorer rear light. When we tested our Hero's on those vehicles we had similar experience, it was tight, but we were able to get the rear light back on there...

    Hello all, Michael from Hella here. Our Hero Gen.2 (Flex series) field test, we did back in November 2020, went almost perfect. There was just one little issue with a signal backfeed at one of the test vehicles. We could have launched this status, but Hella strives for excellence and we want...

    No need to regret anything. The new version will be added to the Hero range in addition to the V1, they won't replace them. The V2 electronic setup will be completely different, they only come as steady burn, so these have to controlled with a "smart siren".

    On the current Version 1 HEROs, you only have one trigger wire, so you have to choose from these 8 color options. R, B, A, W, RB, AW, RW or BW. HELLA (we) are currently working on a new version (designed for external flashing e.g. Core, Carbide, Blueprint, Pathfinder,....) where you will have...
