I don't really know what your trying to ask, but I'll try to answer it. Apollo is the light god, as far as I know. They aren't the same thing, or representation. Apollo was allowed to drive Helios's chariot, but he didn't own it. Apollo also represented different things-such as art, dance, music, a little Archery etc.- while Helios was solely the sun god (or Titan, whatever). Helios was 'driving' the sun, and Apollo was, I don't know, being musical, or something. How the two were connected is a question for Google.

Did Apollo replace Helios and what happened to Helios if he did?
Helios was not "replaced" by Apollo; Apollo is a god of light - and Helios is the god of the sun; these two are related, but they are not the same.
Is Helios Apollo?
No, Helios was the Titan sun patron. After the god versus titan war, Apollo took Helios's position as Artemis took Selene's.
Are Apollo and Helios both sun gods?
No; only Helios is the Sun god; Apollo is often mistakenly identified with him.
Is Helios another name for Apollo?
No, Helios is NOT another name for Apollo. I have learned that Apollo was thought to be the sun god after a play was preformed (that failed to mentioned Helios). Helios is a Titan, and some confusion is understandable because you may think,"Oh, people say that Apollo is the sun god, and Helios is a Titan." Well, don't get full of yourself, that's not true. I hope that answered your question, enough.

Helios didnt gave up his status as the sun-god, he was overshadowed (nice pun!) by the god Apollo, though in Homers epics, Apollo is clearly identified as a different god, with no solar feautures.
