Hella Antares 7 Inch LED Driving Light Kit

Named after one of the brightest stars in the southern sky, the Hella Antares 7 Inch Driving Light Kit is co-designed right here in Australia for Australian roads — and it shows. Whether you're threading through the scrub on a bush track, hammering down a dusty outback highway, or tackling a rocky High Country trail after dark, the Antares 7-inch delivers a composite beam that punches well above its compact size. Up to 600 metres of illumination at the industry-standard 1 lux, with a beam width that keeps the edge of the track in your sights. This is serious light, in a serious package.

Composite Beam Technology — Wide, Mid, and Long

The Antares 7-inch doesn't rely on a single beam pattern. Its composite lighting design stacks three lighting technologies into one head for complete coverage at every distance:

• Ultra-wide LED clusters — 70m wide beam exceeding 110m distance, lighting up the edge of the road and roadside hazards like kangaroos and cattle
• Umbrella LED optic (Diamond Glow) — 56m mid-range width exceeding 400m distance, keeping the critical mid-zone sharp and clear
• Precision Projector LED spot — long-range reach exceeding 600m, so you can react to hazards well before you reach them

Day and Night Visibility

The Antares does more than just light up the dark. Integrated Daytime Running Lamps (DRL) increase your visibility to oncoming traffic during daylight hours, while unique Diamond Glow position lamps with umbrella reflector technology give you a distinctive look that stands out in urban environments — on road or off.

Tough Enough for Australia's Harshest Conditions

• IP69K rated — fully dust and waterproof, built for creek crossings, mud, and outback dust storms
• Diecast aluminium housing and bracket — lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and rock solid under vibration
• Hard-coated UV-stable polycarbonate lens — won't yellow, crack, or fade under the Australian sun
• Active thermal management — maintains consistent output and long LED life even in extreme ambient temperatures
• Vibration resistant — engineered to handle the corrugations, rock crawling, and rough tracks that Australian 4WDs are put through

Intelligent Protection Built In

Hella's engineering pedigree shows in the protection features packed into every Antares unit:

• Polarity reversal protection — no damage from incorrect wiring
• Overvoltage protection — safe across a wide voltage range (10–30V DC)
• Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) certified — won't interfere with your UHF, GPS, or other electronics

Cover Detection — Smarter Than the Rest

The included DRL-integrated light covers aren't just about looks. The Antares features intelligent cover detection — when the cover is applied, the main beam automatically switches off for greater operating efficiency. The distinctive Antares edgelight design still glows through the cover, so your rig keeps looking sharp even when parked up at camp.

Plug & Play Installation — DIY Friendly

No sparky required. The Antares 7-inch kit includes a complete wiring harness with H4 and HB3 adaptors, making installation straightforward for any 4x4 owner comfortable with basic auto electrics. Everything you need is in the box.

What's in the Box

• 2x Hella Antares 7-inch LED driving lights with mounting hardware
• 2x LED spotlight covers with Antares edgelight design
• 2x vehicle adaptors (H4 & HB3)
• 1x complete plug-and-play wiring harness (relay, switches x2, DT connections)
• 1x mounting instructions

Technical Specifications

Ideal for: Dual cab utes, LandCruisers, Patrols, Prados, Hiluxes, and any 4x4 where big visibility is needed without the bulk of a 9-inch light — or where mounting space is tighter on the bull bar or A-pillar pods.
