I think you mean Hella. And the answer is yes.

Generally Hella makes light units and Phillips makes bulbs, which, since we're obviously not talking about "sealed beams," are not the same thing. There are Hella-labeled bulbs, but I'd be surprised if they're directly made by Hella. I've never heard of a Phillips light unit, i.e. lens plus reflector.

Hella isn't necessarily #1. Many Euro cars feature light units made by Bosch, which in total is a way bigger company than Hella. And the big and now always faded out light units on the last Volvo 240s were made by Cibie, a French firm now part of Valeo.
