Hella 500 LED 6in Amber Driving Light Cover, Single

The Hella 358116991 is a 6-inch round amber stone shield that snaps right over the lens of your Hella 500 LED driving lamps. It's a simple piece of gear with a real job. Protect the lens from rock chips and trail debris, add a shot of amber to the beam, and give the front of your rig that classic Hella look. One cover, molded in tough polycarbonate, carrying the Hella logo.

Here's the thing about auxiliary lights. They live right up front where every stone, bug, and branch finds them first. A cracked or hazed lens on a 500 LED is an expensive fix. A stone shield takes that hit instead. The polycarbonate shell absorbs the abuse, and when it finally gets scuffed up after a few seasons, you pop it off and drop on a new one. Cheap insurance for a light that costs a lot more to replace.

The amber tint does two things. First, it changes the color of your beam to amber, which a lot of drivers prefer in fog, dust, and falling snow. Amber light tends to scatter back at you less than white, so you get a little less glare bouncing off the soup in front of you. Second, it just looks good. Amber covers on a pair of round 500s give a truck, Jeep, or overland rig a purposeful, finished front end. Run them in matched pairs and the nose of the rig reads as one clean look instead of a couple of mismatched lenses.

Installation is about as easy as it gets. The shield snaps on and snaps off by hand, no tools, no hardware. That matters more than it sounds. A lot of states require auxiliary and off-road lights to be covered when you're driving on public roads. Run the amber cover on the street, pull it off when you hit the trail, and you're set either way. Keep a clear cover and an amber cover in the door pocket and swap based on where you're headed.

This one is sized for the 6-inch round lamps in the Hella 500 LED driving light family, sometimes badged as the ValueFit 500. If you've got that lamp on the bumper of a pickup, on an SUV roof rack, or up front on a trailer rig you tow behind the boat, this is the cover made to fit it. It seats over the existing lens and follows the round profile without blocking the mounting or the wiring.

A couple of honest notes. This is the cover only. It's not the light, and it's not a replacement lens. It's the protective amber shield that goes over a lamp you already own. The listing is for a single cover, so if you're running a pair of 500s and want both dressed in amber, grab two. And amber is amber, so expect the beam color and a bit of the output to change when it's on. That's the whole point.

Care is simple. Rinse the dust off, then wash with mild soap, water, and a soft cloth. Skip the harsh solvents and the dry paper towels, since polycarbonate scratches easier than glass. Do that and the cover stays clear enough to pass plenty of light for years. A crazed or sandblasted cover throws light everywhere, so keeping the surface clean is part of getting the most out of your lamps.

For anglers who trailer a boat down washboard gravel to the ramp, overlanders who spend real time in the dust, or anyone who just wants their Hella 500s protected and looking sharp, this amber stone shield earns its keep. It's the kind of small, well-made part Hella has built its name on. Fit it and forget it.
