 ITEM 4.  PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION.

           Item 4 of the Schedule 13D for each Reporting Person is hereby
 amended to add the following:

           On April 18, 2000, stockholders (collectively, the Majority
 Stockholders") owning in excess of 75% of the Company'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
 Company'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 Company's minority stockholders.  The Withdrawal Letter is attached
 hereto as Exhibit A and is incorporated herein by reference in its
 entirety.


 ITEM 7.        MATERIAL TO BE FILED AS EXHIBITS.

           Item 7 of the Schedule 13D for each Reporting Person is hereby

 Board of Directors

 Northville, MI  48167

 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.
