Trying to identify a logo...
« on: April 29, 2013, 11:57:53 AM »
I was digging through an old box of parts and came across a couple of driving light covers, but I have no idea what the logo is for. Does anyone have an idea?

I think those are Hassia and not Hella. The checkered emblem belonged to Sprint model lights.

carnuck, that sounds interesting.

I thought Hella at first as well, but there's just nowhere I've seen a checkered Hella logo.

It could be anything from a Japanese motorcycle to an European rally car these lights were meant for, and the lights weren't there to look at.

Does it say anything on the inside?
