Xenon for high beam VAZ 2110

Very often, dozens of owners are not satisfied with the standard headlights. Firstly, it does not illuminate the road well enough, and secondly, visually it gives off a yellowish tint, which does not look very nice.

Therefore, in this article I will tell you how to install xenon in a VAZ 2110. Moreover, we will not consider here ordinary light bulbs that simply shine white (a kind of pseudo-xenon), but we will install real xenon with ignition units.

I’ll note right away that this type of modification is not complicated, so almost any car owner can do this kind of tuning of the VAZ 2110 optics.

Which xenon to choose?

In this section I will not advertise any companies. As they say, there is no comrade according to taste. Here I want to talk about the glow temperature: 4300 K, 5000 K, 6000 K and so on. How are they different? Xenon lamps with a glow temperature of 4300 K and 5000 K appear bright white. 6000 K - blue tint. 8000 K - pinkish tint. Initially, many are mistaken that the higher the temperature, the better the visibility - this is not true, especially in rain or fog. Xenon light with a high combustion temperature is very strongly reflected from wet asphalt and from fog. Therefore, my advice to you is to use xenon at 5000 K. This is the best option.

When is it possible?

And yet there is one possibility when LEDs and xenon can be installed in headlights. But, unfortunately, this opportunity will not make it any easier for us.

The fact is that the mandatory compliance of the light source with the headlight design is enshrined in the Basic Provisions of the Traffic Regulations. There is also a note that if the car is old and out of production, then you can install lighting devices from other models and even brands of cars on it.

Does this mean that VAZ can be equipped with other headlights, including those with xenon or LED? No, that doesn't mean it. According to the Technical Regulations, in any case, such a light source must be certified and tested as part of the vehicle on which it is installed. This means that if the old VAZ provided only halogen lamps, then the headlights will have to be installed only with a halogen light source.

In addition, with such an installation, you will have to go through the procedure of making changes to the design of the machine, which is quite labor-intensive and expensive.

Preparation. I'll remove the headlights.

At the very beginning of this modification, you need to remove the headlight, for this:
Remove the negative from the battery.
Disconnect power from the headlight. (disconnecting the chip from the wires)
We unscrew a couple of bolts on top of the headlight, which secure it to the body.

Now you need to remove the plastic radiator grille, as it covers another bolt.
Using a screwdriver, pry the decorative trim towards the center and pull it out.
Here it is, the nut that secures the headlight to the bracket. Using a key set to “10”, unscrew it.
Now turn off the hydraulic corrector. Using a screwdriver, pry up the retainer, turn the corrector and remove it from the headlight.
At this stage you need to remove the turn signal; this is done simply by unscrewing a couple of bolts.

Preparations for installing xenon are completed, now we begin the process itself.

It is advisable to purchase 4 “mothers” (at the ends of the wires) for ease of connection, so as not to make twists.

Stories from our readers

“Fucking basin. "

Hi all! My name is Mikhail, now I’ll tell you a story about how I managed to exchange my two-wheeler for a 2010 Camry. It all started with the fact that I began to be wildly irritated by the breakdowns of the two-wheeler, it seemed like nothing serious was broken, but damn it, there were so many little things that really started to irritate me. This is where the idea arose that it was time to change the car to a foreign car. The choice fell on the melting Camry of the tenth years.

Yes, I had matured morally, but financially I just couldn’t handle it. I’ll say right away that I am against loans and taking a car, especially not a new one, on credit is unreasonable. My salary is 24k a month, so collecting 600-700 thousand is almost impossible for me. I started looking for different ways to make money on the Internet. You can’t imagine how many scams there are, what I haven’t tried: sports betting, network marketing, and even the volcano casino, where I successfully lost about 10 thousand ((The only direction in which it seemed to me that I could make money was currency trading on the stock exchange, they call it Forex. But when I started delving into it, I realized that it was very difficult for me. I continued to dig further and came across binary options. The essence is the same as in Forex, but it’s much easier to understand. I started reading forums, studying trading strategies. I tried it on a demo account, then opened a real account. To be honest, I didn’t manage to start earning money right away, until I understood all the mechanics of options, I lost about 3,000 rubles, but as it turned out, it was a precious experience. Now I earn 5-7 thousand rubles a day. I managed to get the car buy after half a year, but in my opinion this is a good result, and it’s not about the car, my life has changed, I naturally quit my job, I have more free time for myself and my family. You’ll laugh, but I work directly on the phone)) If If you want to change your life like me, then here’s what I advise you to do right now: 1. Register on the site 2. Practice on a Demo account (it’s free). 3. As soon as you get something on the Demo account, top up your REAL ACCOUNT and go to REAL MONEY! I also advise you to download the application to your phone, it’s much more convenient to work from your phone. Download here.

"1.3.14.6. Low-beam headlights, the light source of which is a gas-discharge lamp, must be equipped with a headlight cleaning device and a functional automatic tilt adjustment device.”;

Headlight washer is a necessary attribute of xenon headlights in the European Union. Its necessity is determined by the sharply increasing illumination above the headlights when the glass is dirty. That is, the headlights' direction becomes less clear and other road users are more blinded. How to install headlight washers on a 10 has already been discussed.

The auto-corrector is designed to maintain a constant inclination of the headlight beam relative to the road, set when adjusting them, regardless of the vehicle load. On the VAZ 2110 you can install:

Imported set of universal automatic headlight range control from Hella (Set price about 10 thousand rubles)
Domestic development for automatic headlight adjustment from Silich (Set price 3200 rub.).

Transparent headlight glass in front of the lens can be purchased separately (acrylic or use polished standard ones).

That's it, the correct light for the head optics of the VAZ 2110 is done ! Because On the standard VAZ headlights there are HRC markings (low and high beam only with a halogen lamp), but in fact the bi-xenon headlights are from a Mercedes inside :), then the modernized optics need to be legalized !

The procedure for registration of xenon or changes to the design of the car

Xenon registration price:

Conclusion – 3000
Fee for reviewing an application for refurbishment – 500
Fees for technical inspection, issuance of a new registration certificate, entering a mark in the PTS (4 pieces in total) - for a total of 1053 rubles.

Installation and connection

We take out the standard halogen lamp by pressing the clamps.
The next step is to cut off the wires (yellow and brown). These are pros and cons respectively.
We crimp the 2 brown wires and place the female wire on them.

We put a mother on the yellow (positive) wire.
Since I have Kirzhach headlights, the xenon lamps came in handy. If you have headlights, then it will be a little more difficult for you; they will not immediately have lamps. Widen the diameter of the hole, but do not overdo it (you can use a round file).

Now you need to make a hole in the protective cover for the wiring. I used a 23mm drill bit.
We insert the lamp and secure it with clamps.
We connect “plus” and “minus” with “mothers”, just do not confuse the polarity, this is very important. Because you can screw up either the lamps or the ignition units.

A few words about what xenon is and “what it is eaten with.”

The xenon lamp was created by the German company Osram in the 1940s and presented to the public in 1951. Xenon became very popular and found widespread use in the auto and film industries, and managed to retire carbon arc lamps. A characteristic feature of xenon lamps is their bright, almost white light with a bluish tint. Almost all modern film projectors, both film and digital, are equipped with xenon lamps, the power of which varies from 900 W to 12 kW.

What is the imperfection of the VAZ 2110 headlights

The stream of light yellow beams emitted by ordinary low and high beams deserves many-sided criticism in many respects. Quite often you can meet a "tens" driver who claims that it is impossible to adjust the direction of the beam, usually even in bench conditions.

It is worth noting that the headlights for the VAZ 2110 were manufactured by two companies

:
Bosch and Kirzhach
. The former show slightly better lighting, although not perfect. The Russian block has a lens in its composition, the beam of which is too narrow. In this case, it is recommended to use PTF to improve the situation a little.

Read:

By installing good halogen lamps in Bosch lighting elements, you can try to achieve an acceptable level of illumination. Kirzhach defects cannot fix even the upper halogen

. This is explained:

poor headlight seal, resulting in the inside of the lens being dirty (lost efficiency up to 40%),
non-functional optical design (focal length is quite large)
no headlight washers.

Pro Tip: A focusing lens will help you avoid blinding oncoming drivers.

To avoid dazzling oncoming drivers, it is necessary to install a focusing lens, which provides a stream of light of high brightness and high clarity, as well as excellent quality of the light beam as a result of the special lens glass that is included in the kit. In addition, focusing lenses are capable of uniformly dispersing headlight light, thereby creating a clear boundary between illuminated and darkened areas. Therefore, when using such lenses, it is impossible to blind pedestrians or oncoming motorists.

Diary of VAZ 2110 | Choice of fog lights. PTF Kirzhach

Enjoy watching everyone, I hope my video helped someone with their choice or technical questions) Spare parts

The discharge lamp has no filaments in its design. Here the luminescence process is based on the principle of a light arc. the inert gas glows. There is no field focusing feature for that matter. Thus, an additional element must be used. lens. But this minus is blocked by the light output, which increases several times compared to halogen lamps.

Thus

, it is not possible
to install an Xe bulb in a headlight using a simple reflector.
Due to improper scattering of the rays, the correct effect will not be obtained. However, this is not the most important thing. It is dangerous that ignoring an important requirement (the presence of a lens in the design) will lead to the appearance of other road users. Possibility of installing xenon in PTF. big question. The direct purpose of fog lights is to highlight the vehicle in low visibility conditions. This light is most fully encountered with light of a yellowish tint. Using these lamps at night serves as a minor addition to the headlight as it illuminates the area directly in front of the car.

In general, a significant increase in comfort and safety while driving will allow us to list the following manipulations with Kirzhakh headlights

installation of gas discharge lamps;
minor modification of optics design;
cleaning the lens surface;
installation of a headlight washing system.

What about LEDs?

The LED light source is also not installed on domestic cars. We have already explained the issue of installing LEDs, when it is possible and when it is not.

In general, this is a more modern type of head light, and has come into fashion quite recently. A number of manufacturers for their models have even begun to provide documentation for the possibility of installing LED lamps in such headlights when obtaining vehicle type approval. These include, for example, Hyundai and Kia. This, of course, does not mean that you can simply replace the halogen lamps in such cars with LED ones. But changes are made in a somewhat simplified mode. In addition, even the most budget models - Kia Rio and Hyundai Solaris - are equipped with xenon.

But we are talking about VAZ cars. And for them, LED lamps in headlights, unfortunately, are prohibited, since the design of their light source module does not provide for the installation of anything other than incandescent (halogen) lamps.

How to install xenon in the fogs of a VAZ 2110 with your own hands?

Xenon in PTF To carry out an inspection, you must purchase a set of international H3 gas discharge lamps

. This is due to the compatibility of the element bases. In addition, the improved glow kit must have an ignition unit (energy converter). In practice, everything looks simple:

disconnect the usual wire block;
remove the base;
replace the lamp;
insert the base back;
connect the wiring to the on-board power supply system through the ignition unit ;
adjust the headlights.

Thus , since the wiring has been slightly changed, it is necessary to slightly correct the control line of the xenon fog lights in the VAZ 2110 interior. The energy converter (ignition unit) is connected in accordance with the instructions. This is a very dangerous component of the system, as it generates a voltage of about 25 kV, depending on the modification.

By correcting defects in the factory design of headlights, you can significantly improve driving comfort in the dark. Properly installed fog lights will help harmoniously complement the night lighting picture.

Everyone strives for personal safety and comfort, the same can be said about lighting the road by car at night. That is why many are interested in how to make sure that the installation of xenon on a VAZ 2110 is successful, but at the same time still have legal light, to which the traffic police will not have complaints? The issue, in principle, is being resolved, both directly for the headlights and for the PTF.

VAZ 2110 with xenon headlights and PTF

Conclusion

Bi-xenon on the VAZ 2114 will be an excellent solution for those who would like to slightly improve their own car. Such headlights will come in handy if the driver travels frequently and therefore has to be on the road even at night.

Those who are still wondering how to install xenon on a VAZ 2114 should be advised to take safety measures as carefully as possible. Many car enthusiasts ignore them, but if xenon is installed, this can lead to the most serious consequences for human health.

Published April 07, 2018

Many motorists want to have fog lights in their arsenal, and even more want them to be xenon. So, you can replace the lamps with halogen ones or those marked H1, but we are talking about xenon and its advantages. So, you can install xenon PTFs yourself, without resorting to the services of a car service. We will tell you how to do this in this article.

Legal connection

You should know that the PTF may already have bi-xenon lamps and corresponding lenses installed from the factory. This is a PTF of the so-called class D, such a light is absolutely legal, inspectors cannot “find fault” with it.

To install xenon on a VAZ 2110 in foglights, as well as conventional headlights, it is necessary that the entire kit, which uses bi-xenon lamps, be legal. That is, these are, for example, licensed headlights or PTF. There must be a letter D on the glass itself, it is this that indicates that bi-xenon lamps need to be connected to this headlight. In this case, xenon is legal and will not cause any complaints.

Question of law

Legal equipment
Therefore, to install xenon as fog lights and main headlights, you will need to purchase a set of legal equipment. There must be an inscription in the form of the letter D on the headlight glass. It indicates that bi-xenon lights are connected to these headlights. Consequently, everything is legal, and therefore there is no need to fear the traffic police post.

Advantages and possible disadvantages

Actually, bi-xenon lenses illuminate the road perfectly - this applies to both conventional headlights and PTF. They produce bright white and blue light.

Another thing is that the PTF light should be low-directional, “piercing” the fog, but not blinding oncoming drivers. For example, in Boshevsky PTF there is no lens, there is only a reflector, which is why a low beam of light is not created.

This is why you need to install a focusing lens, then the bi-xenon lamps will behave in the best way - the driver can clearly see the road, and oncoming drivers do not feel the desire to take a brick and break your bi-xenon PTFs.

conclusions

Installing xenon fog lights on the VAZ-2114 is quite easy and simple. A more difficult task remains the choice of product, since the market for automobile spare parts is saturated with them, and therefore it is possible to find the most suitable option for any motorist.

Dismantling

Before installing xenon on a VAZ 2110, you need to dismantle the old headlight unit. It happens like this:

We de-energize the car by removing the negative from the battery;
Disconnect all connectors from the headlights;
Unscrew the mounting bolts from the upper mount;
Remove the grille from the radiator;
Unscrew one bolt securing the headlight unit from below;
Use a screwdriver to pry up the cover and remove it;
Using a 10mm wrench, unscrew the nut securing it to the bracket;
We take out the headlight unit;
We pry it with a screwdriver, turn the hydraulic corrector cylinder lock, and remove it;
Remove the turn signal by unscrewing a couple of bolts.

Removal

Kit
Of course, without dismantling the old headlights it will be impossible to install xenon devices. Dismantling is performed as follows.

The vehicle is deprived of power by removing the negative terminal from the battery.
The connectors going to the headlights are disconnected. All without exception.
The fasteners are removed from the top mount. The bolts are located there.
The radiator grille is dismantled.
The bolt that holds the headlight unit in its lower part is removed. He's there alone.
Next, pry up the cover using a flat-head screwdriver and remove it.
Now take a 10 mm wrench and use it to remove the fixing nut to the bracket.
All that remains is to remove the headlight unit.
Do not forget to pry the hydraulic correction cylinder retainer using the same flat-head screwdriver to remove the unit.
The direction indicators are removed. To do this, simply unscrew a couple of bolts.

Installing a new module

To carry out legal installation, it is better to purchase a good legal module and install it. For example, headlights from Hella promise to work well, but they must be of the second generation, they have wide lenses. Their designation is Lens G2, they are installed standard on the BMW E60, that is, the quality is excellent.

However, there are slight differences with those installed on the VAZ 2110, so they will need to be slightly modified.

You will need 2 pieces:

Hella lenses;
Ignitor;
Ignition unit;
Bi-xenon lamps.

The price of this kit, provided that used lenses are used, will be about 3,500 rubles.

Finalization and installation process:

We change the seat intended for the standard Kirzhach module under Hella;
We connect the wiring of the bi-xenon lamps to the standard one - everything here fits and matches;
Install a new module;
We fix the ignition unit in a way that is convenient for you (there is enough space).

Problems that xenon bulbs create

Let's look at the main problems that incorrectly installed xenon bulbs create:

Firstly, the light of xenon lamps blinds drivers of oncoming and passing cars. This happens because when used with “halogen” reflectors, the light from xenon lamps can be directed incorrectly, that is, not towards the road. In particular, non-standard light bulbs can shine on neighboring and oncoming cars, creating discomfort for drivers.

Of course, we can say that this is a problem for other road users, but to think so is at least stupid. First of all, this is a problem for the driver himself, whose car has non-standard incandescent lamps installed. It is obvious that an oncoming car with a blinded driver will most likely crash into its “offender”, i.e. into a car with incorrectly installed xenon bulbs. So don't tempt fate.

Secondly, there is a common misconception that xenon lamps improve road visibility, i.e. the more light, the better you can see. Moreover, many drivers of cars with “collective farm” xenon firmly believe in this.

With xenon bulbs, the car glows like a Christmas tree. There really is more light. But because of the “non-xenon” reflectors, the headlights don’t shine as well as they should. The light falls too close to the car, i.e. The actual illumination of the road with xenon headlights is much worse. This is confirmed by comparative tests of the same headlights with different types of bulbs. However, many drivers want their car to sparkle in the dark and trust that their bulbs are the best.

Xenon in a regular headlight unit

If you decide to install bi-xenon lamps in the standard Kirzhach headlight unit, then proceed as follows:

Getting the wires ready. Traditionally, plus is yellow, and minus is brown. We crimp two minuses, as well as two pluses, in turn, carefully insulating them;
The holes for the lamps should be slightly processed with a file when trying on the lamps, so as not to overdo it;
Install bi-xenon lamps;
The wiring from the lamp should be routed into the protective cover. But for this you will need to drill a corresponding hole;
Install and secure the headlight in the base without reversing the polarity;
The ignition unit is connected according to the circuit that should come with the lamp;
Reinstall the lights.

Now you can reconnect the battery and check how the new lighting works. Don't forget about adjustments!
