FORVIA HELLA Develops Slim Headlamps for Geely Galaxy 7 MAX

FORVIA HELLA Develops New Headlamps for Geely Galaxy

Hella GmbH & Co KGaA has developed FORVIA HELLA headlamps called “飞檐虎视 Fei Yan Hu Shi” for the Geely Galaxy Xingyao 7 MAX, which has been available since May 23, 2026. The headlamp system combines a new-generation slim lighting module with patented optical technology. Its design is intended to deliver a wide light field and homogeneous illumination while supporting high- and low-beam switching. The system also integrates several lighting functions into a compact package, giving the vehicle a distinctive front-end appearance while supporting its broader lightweighting objectives.

Slim Lighting Module Supports Wide Illumination

The headlamp uses a new-generation slim lighting module designed to provide an ultra-wide light field with homogeneous illumination. This arrangement supports switching between high and low beams, allowing the lighting system to provide precise illumination control across complex road conditions. The compact design also contributes to a luminous area of approximately 15 millimeters in height. According to Hella GmbH & Co KGaA, the reduced height helps lower the overall headlamp weight while creating greater flexibility for exterior styling. These characteristics also support vehicle lightweighting and the broader objective of maintaining range.

Multiple Lighting Functions Integrated Into One System

Beyond the primary beam functions, the headlamp integrates position lights, turn signals, and daytime running lights within the same lighting assembly. It also provides dynamic welcome and farewell lighting effects, adding animated functions to the vehicle's exterior lighting presentation. Combining these functions within the headlamp allows the lighting hardware to serve several visual and operational purposes without changing the fundamental role of the assembly. The slim form factor further gives designers flexibility when shaping the front end, while the optical system is intended to maintain consistent illumination across the available lighting area.

Blue Metallic Trim Creates Distinctive Front-End Styling

The exterior treatment of the lamp includes blue metallic texture plastic trim, giving the front end a sharp and distinctive visual identity. The trim works alongside the slim lighting architecture to emphasize the headlamp's narrow appearance and differentiate the vehicle's front design. The combination of styling and lighting functions also demonstrates how modern headlamp assemblies can contribute beyond basic road illumination. For the Geely Galaxy Xingyao 7 MAX, the lighting design therefore combines optical performance, integrated signaling functions, visual effects, material treatment, and packaging considerations within a single component developed by Hella GmbH & Co KGaA.

Industry Impact & Outlook

The headlamp development illustrates how automotive lighting systems are increasingly being designed around packaging efficiency, styling flexibility, integrated functions, and optical performance at the same time. For passenger-car manufacturers, slimmer lighting modules can create additional freedom in front-end design while supporting weight-reduction objectives. The integration of signaling and welcome functions also expands the role of exterior lighting as part of the vehicle's visual identity. The next stage of relevance will depend on how these technologies are applied across additional vehicle programs and how manufacturers balance lighting performance, design requirements, weight, and system integration.
