This Amendment No. 4 (this "Amendment") amends and supplements
the Schedule 13D filed on August 4, 1997, as previously amended (the "Schedule
13D"), by Horst Kukwa-Lemmerz, Renate Kukwa-Lemmerz, Inge Kruger-Pressl,
Marianne Lemmerz, H.K.L., L.L.C. and the Trust for the Grandchildren of Marianne
Lemmerz (the "Reporting Persons) with respect to the common stock, par value
$.01 per share ("Common Stock"), of Hayes Lemmerz International, Inc. (the
"Issuer"). All capitalized terms used in this Amendment and not otherwise
defined herein have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Schedule 13D.
Only those Items that are amended or supplemented are reported herein.
Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.
Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended to add the
folowing:
On April 18, 2000, Joseph Littlejohn & Levy Fund II, L.P. on
behalf of the stockholders (collectively the "Majority Stockholders") owning in
excess of 75% of the Issuer's outstanding common stock, sent a letter (the
"Withdrawal Letter") to the Board of Directors of the Company withdrawing the
offer which they had made on January 9, 2000 (the "Majority Stockholder Offer")
to acquire all of the shares of the Issuer's common stock not owned by the
Majority Stockholders for $21 per share in cash. The Withdrawal Letter stated
that the Majority Stockholders had engaged in discussions with representatives
of the Special Committee of the Board of Directors which had been appointed to
consider the Majority Stockholder Offer and, based upon such discussions, the
Majority Stockholders believed that it was unlikely that they would be able to
reach agreement with the Special Committee as to the price per share to be paid
to the Issuer's minority stockholders. The Withdrawal Letter is attached hereto
as Exhibit 1 and is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.

Board of Directors
Hayes Lemmerz International, Inc.

Gentlemen:
Reference is made to our letter dated January 9, 2000 pursuant
to which Joseph Littlejohn & Levy Fund II, L.P., on behalf of the holders of in
excess of 75% of the outstanding common stock of Hayes Lemmerz International,
Inc. (the "Company"), offered to acquire all of the shares of the Company's
common stock not owned by such stockholders for $21 per share in cash (the
"Proposal").
As you know, we have engaged in discussions with
representatives of the Special Committee of the Company's Board of Directors
with respect to the Proposal. Based upon such discussions, we believe that it is
unlikely that we will be able to reach an agreement as to the price per share to
be paid to the Company's minority stockholders. Accordingly, we hereby withdraw
the Proposal.
Very truly yours,
JOSEPH LITTLEJOHN & LEVY FUND II, L.P.
