Bought some Hella lamps about a year to eighteen months ago, with the vision of using them on a classic Mini, but have since scrapped the project. Unfortunately the eBay advert has long gone, so not entirely sure what I've got, or what they are worth.

I've got a set of two Hella 50mm projector lamps, H9. Markings on them are:
1KL 009 486-00
HR 00 E1 2198 12.5
SAE HR Y 05 SSB 509 V0 DOT H9 TF 49

The other two are H7, very slightly smaller, but I think still 50mm lamp. Markings on those are:
1ML 009 071-01
HC 09 E1 1994

Both sets of lights look similar to these:


Does anyone know how I find out whether these are HID, Xenon or Halogen (don't really know the specific differences). The Hella website is useless!

And if anyone does know much about these, what sort of price I should be looking at selling them for?

Thanks in advance.

A google search for "1KL 009 486" produced the Hella PDF catalogue for Quads/ATVs.

http://www.hella.com/hella-com-en/assets/media/Dow...

Page 2 of this has the part codes:

1ML 009 071-011: Halogen 12V, H7, Left hand traffic

1KL 009 486-001: Halogen 12V, H9

So you've got 50mm main and dip lights.

Worth - these kind of lights are normally about £100 per pair.

ETA: I did find the SVC site and that particular picture, but since they mentioned 90mm instead of 50mm, I wasn't so sure. However, they're very very similar if they're not the same item smile

Ah thanks chaps! Didn't think of checking the SVC website, they haven't sold them in the past.

What is the difference between H7, H9, etc? Is it just the bulb fitment, or is it something more technical?

Just the bulb type, both are Halogen. The diameter they give on svc is at the base of the silver bezel so a 50mm lens looks about right.
