HELLA H3 24V 100W High Wattage Bulb

Have these in a pair of HELLA off road lights with glass lens. SUPER BRIGHT! Would not recommend for plastic lens lights as these do get hot! But these are very bright 5 stars

The package was delivered within 2 days of placing the order. The bulb was reasonably well protected by its OEM box before it was placed into a heavy-duty mailing envelope along with another low weight/density order. Suffice to say it arrived in perfect (new) condition. The bulb was easily installed on the right front fog light of my 2001 Jeep Cherokee XJ with no hassles and works perfectly.

It work upon installation. I like the fact that it’s described as Heavy Duty since its application is a hand held light which plugs into the cigarette lighter of my car.

They're bright and all that but they definitely are not as Amber as I would have expected. They really are a pale yellow.

Works with my TEND THL10-H7LL machine tool work lamp. These work lamps are aften found on Hardinge lathe clones. More specifically 618evs models.

I installed these into some Hella 500 driving lights, which came with Hella 55w H3 bulbs in them. I am *obviously* using these off-road, as that is the only place they’re legal to use. I had run the 55w bulbs for a while, and felt like I wanted more light output.WOW do these deliver! Now mind you the Hella 500 units I have are the “driving light” pattern, so dispersion is pretty minimal — they’re basically a spotlight. So, long, focused, narrow beam. These REALLY increased the output of my lamps, and reduced the “dead” spot that was in the center of the beam pattern as well. They throw much further down the road, and my eye estimates probably 2x light output (not scientific).Downside is that the lamps heat up a good deal more than before, but I have not experienced any deforming of the housing yet. I probably wouldn’t turn them on if your vehicle is stationary, as the air moving past them as you drive helps to cool them down. You’ll need to make sure the gauge of your wiring can handle the 100w bulbs, and you should NOT use these if your lamps are not wired thru a relay.Installation was a breeze, just need a Phillips head screwdriver and 5 minutes’ time. Be careful not to touch the glass part of the bulb, or the oils from your hand will cause them to burn out quickly!Thats’s it, that’s the review — thank you for coming to my TED talk.EDIT 4/9/25: These bulbs have held up well. No issues and great lifespan, tho to be fair I don’t use them a ton. I’d imagine they have a shorter lifespan than a 55w bulb just because of how incandescents work.A HUGE unforeseen upside to the bulbs heating the housing & lenses up so much: they de-ice themselves in the winter. I’d purchase these again!

These fit and work perfectly. Installation was quick and easy

After much research we opted to use regular halogen builds and installed a set of Hella Driving lights on our Class C motor home, the main reason was ease of repair, if an LED light fails the whole light would have to be replaced, with halogen driving light only the bulb would need replacing and easily available everywhere. Which makes sense when touring the country in an RV.
