Sexy Moves’ video in 2018, HELLA, has launched its new ‘Feel Light’ workshop video. Commenting on the new video, Senior Head of Marketing & Communications, Helen Goldingay said: “Adopting a similarly humorous style to our original ‘dance’ video, this latest addition emphasises HELLA’s renowned lighting knowledge and expertise. “The previous video, went viral at its launch at Automechanika Frankfurt in 2018, was not product specific, the new video purposely focuses on our vehicle specific lighting products.
