Modification of headlights for Bosch VAZ 2110

Tuning the headlights on your VAZ-2110 with your own hands will not be difficult if you approach this procedure wisely. In this case, the result will please the owner, and his previously unattractive car will look much more modern. The main thing in this matter is to strictly follow the instructions in order to avoid mistakes.

This brand, as a rule, has optics of such types as “Kirzhach” and “Bosch”. The procedure for dismantling old headlights consists of the following steps:

First you need to disconnect the blocks with wires and remove the upper part from the radiator grille. To do this, take a key of 10.
After this, you need to remove the boxes with the wires connected to the direction indicators. Immediately after this, the headlight hydraulic corrector is pulled out using a special latch.
Next, you need to unscrew the headlight mounting bolts and remove the edge from the place where it engages with the wing.
After completing this work, the headlight of the car is carefully pulled out.

What to choose?

It would seem that we are talking about German quality products, which by definition should be better than their domestic counterpart. But in reality things are somewhat different.

Let's look at the key features of Kirzhach and Bosch headlights to determine which ones you should choose for your VAZ 2110 model.

The purpose of any low beam is to provide good visibility of the roadway at night, while at the same time avoiding dazzling oncoming traffic. Headlights from German and domestic manufacturers cope equally well with these functions.
The headlights from Kirzhach have a low beam lens, and a reflector is provided for the high beam. German products have two reflectors - for low beam and high beam. The lighting is ultimately the same, but Bosch has better brightness.
Lenses are actually better than reflectors. They create a clearer line of light and allow the installation of xenon optics.
As a study of reviews of VAZ 2110 owners using German devices shows, they are characterized by worse illumination in low beam mode.
Bosch headlights have a very important advantage for many - when the car is driving in cloudy and rainy weather, it provides a better quality glow compared to Kirzhach devices. It's all about the larger surface of the low beam reflector.
This Bosch plus also comes with a minus - you are deprived of the opportunity to install xenon optics.
Note that, regardless of the manufacturer, these headlights contain H1 format lamps.
If we take into account all other characteristics, then the undisputed leader here will be the products of the domestic manufacturer.

It is noteworthy that this is one of the few exceptions when domestic products turned out to be better than foreign ones. Sad but true.

Everyone knows that Bosch headlights do not illuminate the road well at night.
When driving in the near one, it’s hard to see - the road runs away, but when driving in the far one, you interfere with oncoming cars. I invite you to go with me on an unforgettable journey of tuning Bosch VAZ 2110 headlights. Let's start with the fact that we need to remove and disassemble the headlight. I won’t tell you how to remove and disassemble the headlight. There are many posts on this topic on the Internet, step by step. We need to slightly change the design of the headlights, namely, replace the H1 lamps with H7 ones. In my opinion, the H7 lamp fits perfectly into this headlight. The dimensions of the lamp H1 and H7 are the same both in height and in the location of the chrome thread. Look at the photo: You can drill the required hole with a circular saw like this.

We disassemble and remove all the saws we don’t need. The one closest to the center is our saw, which will drill a hole in the headlight reflector. You need to drill a hole so that the H7 lamp is completely immersed in the hole and rests only on the collar. Taking my son as an assistant (he held the reflector), armed with a drill and loading our saw into the chuck, I drilled a hole. The smell from drilling is not very pleasant, so it is better to drill outside. This is what happened.

By the way, you can drill with another tool. For example, I have this thing. In our store it costs 30 rubles!

Let's try on our H7 Lamps. They fit perfectly and are locked with the same clamps that held the H1 lamps. That's basically all there is to drilling. Now we take a soldering iron and plug it into a socket, and in the meantime we cut off the “+” and “–” terminals that supply the H1 lamp with electricity. We strip the wires, solder other terminals (mothers). We will need 4 of them per headlight. We also need heat shrink casing. Taking advantage of the moment, I inserted LEDs into the dimensions in place of the lamps. This is what happened.

I don’t know about others, but my reflector kept falling off. Here's how I solved this problem:

I simply drilled a hole in advance and screwed in the screw and washer without fully tightening it. Now it's not going anywhere. As for the lamps, I took “Novator” and “Narva” at 55 w each.

Having installed the headlights on the car and adjusted them (by the way, I installed the lamp with the beads facing up), I drove out into the dark on an unlit section of the road. I was very surprised by my result. Now everything is very clearly visible at close-up - not only the road itself, but also the edges of the side of the road. The headlights do not shine 10 meters from the bumper, but further and better. Here's a photo from the car. This is the neighbor.

In the photo the high beam is on, about 35 steps from the car.

I called a friend - he also has a “ten” with Bosch headlights. We compared my headlights and his on the same section of the road. This is what happened. This is the low beam on a friend's car.

I took this photo standing between the cars. There is a difference and what a difference!

This photo is also from about 35 steps closer. On the right is a friend's car, on the left is mine!

Maybe many will start to judge me for ruining the headlights, etc. I'll tell you honestly: before tuning, I tried to install lamps from Osram, Philips, and many others - the result did not suit me. If you find the same article on the Internet, you should know that I wrote it. I received a fee for it, but it was small. And I’m just posting it here because it’s not here. And finally, I want to say (well, just food for thought): now you can insert H4 instead of H7 lamps. But that's a completely different story! Good luck to everyone on the roads! Not a nail or a rod!

The problem with new headlights

It happens that after installing new headlights, purchased for a lot of money from a reliable, excellent manufacturer, the quality of the glow leaves much to be desired.

Inexperienced drivers attribute everything to a defect or the purchase of a fake disguised as a trusted company. But in reality everything is completely different.

Headlights shine efficiently and efficiently not only depending on the manufacturer. Settings that some people don’t know about or simply forget play a big role

A little about the features of headlights

These cars were equipped, as mentioned earlier, with headlights from the Russian JSC Avtosvet and manufactured by German manufacturers. They represent several devices in one housing. In addition to low and high beams, the housing contains side lights and turn signals. The design of lighting devices from different manufacturers has some differences.

In the headlight with low beam of JSC "Avtosvet" there are lenses and a flat screen between the lamps and lenses; in the block headlight it is glued to the body. The light bulb that indicates the side light is located in the high beam headlights. The German manufacturer offers a slightly different design for such a product. For low beam, no lenses are installed, and the screen, in the form of a cap, is located on the glass bulb of the device. Because of such differences, experts do not recommend installing headlights on cars from different manufacturers.

Tuning

You happen to have LED rings in stock. Therefore, it’s time to start tuning directly, that is, installing LED rings in the headlights. If you have tinted optics, paint the rings black. But don't touch the LEDs themselves. The effect of such modernization will be more impressive.

Taping with film

The installation procedure is as follows.

Remove the Kirzhach headlights. You will need to remove the glass. To do this, insert a flat screwdriver into the corner of the glass, and insert a sharp stationery knife into this gap with your other hand. This will remove the layer of sealant, allowing the glass to be removed. If you can't, just break the glass and buy a new one. It's quite cheap.
Handle the optics carefully, do not touch the reflectors, and remove any remaining debris. If this is not done, you will soon have to completely change your headlights. And these are already significant expenses.
Let's try out the tuning option. To do this, attach an LED ring to the lens.
We correct inaccuracies. Decorative inserts can interfere with, or rather partially block, the glow from the LEDs. They can be trimmed and filed a little. A completely natural procedure for such tuning.
Installing angel eyes. They are usually glued to the lens. Use super glue or high quality silicone caulk.
Connect the power. Power to the LEDs must come from the side lights. Another option is to use a fuse and a separate switch.
Reinstall the headlights. We put the glass back, just use a simple silicone sealant or liquid nails. The main thing here is to prevent the presence of cracks, due to which the inside of the glass will begin to fog up and condensation will be deposited on it. Over time, this leads to a short circuit.
There is another option for mounting LEDs - not around the lens, but on the mask using silicone. Then the tape needs to provide the shape of a ring. For this, available means are suitable - a bottle, a glass. You just need to fill it with silicone in the selected place on the mask. The connection is similar to the previous installation option.

Replacing headlight bulbs

The owners' complaints about the lighting of this car mainly relate to electric lamps. An effective replacement can be found if you find and install devices that generate a luminous flux that has increased brightness and intensity. Manufacturers of these devices, both domestic and foreign, have mastered several types of such products:

Halogen lamps. They are distinguished by a large selection of their sizes and a long period of operation, as well as reasonable cost. As a disadvantage, it is necessary to note their high energy consumption, as well as some features of their installation;
Xenon lamps. This type of lamp has a high light beam intensity, is environmentally safe, and has a pleasant spectrum close to daylight. However, due to the high likelihood of blinding problems for drivers of oncoming cars, they were prohibited from use;
"GT" type of lamps. They are classified as a new type of lighting devices; they embody all the best factors of previously produced devices, and therefore are very popular.

Tuning bumper VAZ 2110

There are also various workshops and tuning studios that make custom bumpers, door moldings, trunk spoilers, and custom tuning hoods. The car owner often orders a body kit along with installation, but can also install external tuning elements independently. Body kits for the 10, which are most popular among car enthusiasts:

The external interior of the VAZ ten is quite often modernized, and tuning is carried out in the cabin:

Tuning also includes installing an audio system, inserting additional speakers, installing a video recorder, GPS navigator, on-board computer, and other electronic devices. Which of the car owners installs air conditioning on the car, cuts out a hatch in the roof.

The original seats in the “tens” are quite durable and comfortable, but over time the frame of the back of the front seat can break and the upholstery can wear out. If the seats are repaired, at the same time they undergo modernization - they are sheathed with a different material.

Application of “GT” devices in VAZ 2110 headlights

Before installing such lamps in “tens” headlights, let’s look at their technical and other features:

The glow temperature, its coefficient is approximately 4000-5000 Kelvin;
The maximum luminous efficiency coefficient has been achieved, which is approximately 45-50%;
During manufacturing, the lamp bulb was enlarged, its body was made chrome;
The spiral began to be installed with an increased length.

These lamps are widely used in retail chains; purchasing them is not difficult.

Replacing the H1 lamp in Bosch headlights model 2110 with H7

Many VAZ 2110 owners are faced with the fact that the Bosch lights on their car do not illuminate the road well enough at night. They have a standard H1 lamp installed.

Experts say that if you replace the Bosch with an H7, the situation will improve significantly.

The process of replacing a standard H1 lamp with an H7 in VAZ 2110 lighting sources is quite simple - it consists of the following steps:

Disconnect all headlight connections.
We remove the radiator grille - to do this you need to unscrew the bolts that secure it.
We disconnect the blocks with wires from the turn signals.
We remove the hydraulic corrector - to do this, press the latch and turn it ninety degrees.
We unscrew the 3 bolts that secure the flashlight and move it back. We move the eyelash to the center, getting rid of the engagement with the wing.
Loosen the 2 bolts securing the buffer and remove the eyelash.
Unscrew another nut and remove the light source.
We heat the sealant and use a knife to open the headlight.
The hole for the H1 lamp will need to be drilled. It is smaller in diameter than needed for H
You will also need to remove the terminals and install those that are suitable for the lamps that we installed - there will be 4 of them.
After drilling, insert the lamp into the hole and fix it with standard fasteners.
The fixation of the reflector will need to be adjusted so that it stays in place properly.
Instead of lamps, we can install LEDs in side lights.
Next, we assemble the lights back, install them on the car and adjust them.

By installing other lamps, you can make sure that the lighting will be of better quality - there will no longer be problems with visibility during night driving.

A few words about tuning tricks

Activities to modernize the head lighting of the “tens”, giving it uniqueness and inimitability, may require the purchase of some special materials, such as phosphor. Its unique properties are close to those of phosphorus, which has the ability to emit light in the dark.

This feature is widely used to obtain original tuning options. Most often, headlight curtains are coated with a pre-prepared mixture, which consists of phosphor and varnish. This needs to be done on both sides of the curtains, and after drying them, you can put them in place. Such actions allow you to get a completely new and unique look. As you can see from the story, tuning VAZ 2110 headlights with your own hands is not difficult. Carefully consider the design of the upcoming renovation, prepare the materials necessary for the work, and get to work.

How to improve headlights on a VAZ without the help of others2110

There is no such person who realizes that the safety of not only the driver and passengers, but also pedestrians and oncoming cars depends on the correct selection of the studio, how the headlights are set in any car, including the VAZ-2110. Adjusting the light is quite easy if you follow the advice of professionals and do this step by step. How to make the headlights on a VAZ-2110 better in just a few hours without the help of others, we will then try to analyze.

Why do the headlights on VAZ 2110 and 2114 shine poorly? We fix and improve

You need to understand and find out the reasons why the headlights on the VAZ 2110 and 2114 shine poorly as quickly as possible. Light on the road is the key to your well-being after sunset, and especially in winter, when it gets dark early (and dawn comes late). If bad weather conditions in the form of rain or snow are added to the general theme, then the lack of lighting becomes literally dangerous.

To drive almost by touch means to begin with risking the integrity of your iron horse: an undetected hole can seriously damage the chassis, or even cause a skid, which is fraught with injuries not only for your car, but also for oncoming/passing people. Why do the headlights on a VAZ shine poorly? 2110 and 2114, you need to look for the reasons until you are completely sure that this particular factor is interfering with proper functioning. Simply changing lamps to more powerful ones does not always solve the problem and may turn out to be an unnecessary waste of money.

Glass The simplest reasons are usually the most likely. Dirty headlights reduce illumination by 50%! Wiping them with a dry cloth is not a good idea. With this approach, you also scratch the glass, which over time will make their dim glow permanent. If you don’t want to regularly wash your headlights by hand, install a washer. By the way, the unit from Volga is perfect for the “ten”.

Moreover, the installation is quite simple and can be done on your own. The glass may burst. If you notice a crack on the surface, you will have to remove the headlight unit and replace it with a new one. If your car has already run well, the glass may naturally become cloudy from age.

Since it is in the forefront when moving, dust, grains of sand and small debris, hitting the headlight at speed, leave microscopic scratches on the glass. Most of them are so small that they are not even visualized, but at the same time they refract and scatter light according to the principle of a prism. The glass will have to be replaced; and so that the next replacement moves as far away as possible, you can cover it with a protective film. Articles on the topic:

“How and with what to polish plastic headlights”;
“Polishing headlights with toothpaste yourself.”

Reflector If everything is in order with the glass, a possible reason for the dim glow may be a peeling reflector. No matter how powerful the lamp you screw into the headlight, you will not get the proper brightness of light. On most foreign cars, in this case, you have to change the entire headlight; On VAZs, only the reflector can be replaced. Moreover, the procedure is very simple:

The headlight unit is dismantled with the battery disconnected;
The glass is removed from it. It is placed on a sealant, which is softened by heating using a hair dryer. Then the glass is pryed up and carefully removed;
The light bulb is unscrewed;
The shabby reflector is dismantled, a new one is installed, and the headlight is assembled in the reverse order.

Before installing the glass, do not forget to clean both it and the body of the old sealant and degrease before applying a new layer. Related articles:

“How to restore a headlight reflector”;
“What is the best sealant for gluing headlight glasses.”

Voltage problems: Especially typical for cars with halogen lamps. A lack of voltage can be caused by a malfunctioning generator or oxidation/breakage of the contact. Normal light is produced at a voltage of 13.8-14.2 V, and the same should be at the ends of the working lamp. A drop on it of no more than 0.2-0.3 V at 2000 rpm is acceptable.

We recommend: Replacing the Lada Granta alternator belt with air conditioning and its tensioner

A lower voltage indicates that there is a faulty contact in the circuit. It is required to detect and eliminate the defect; Installing stronger lamps before repair is strictly prohibited: it can lead to overheating and even ignition of the faulty contact. Direction of luminous flux Insufficient lighting can be caused by unadjusted position of the headlights.

Moreover, at one time the adjustment could be correct, but due to an accidental shock (for example, a bumper catching a curb) it was disrupted. You can correct the position yourself, without optical instruments.

A flat wall is selected, the car is installed at a distance of 5 m from it and loaded as standard: the tank must be full, and someone must be sitting in the driver’s seat.
Markings are made on the wall: the central vertical line should coincide with the center of the car, the side lines should coincide with the center of the headlights.
Horizontal is carried out at the level of the lamps. The border of the light spot is marked 6.5 cm below.
The glass is removed from the headlight to access the adjustment screw, the second one is covered with any cardboard. The direction is adjusted to exactly hit the point of intersection of the lines. The adjustment is carried out with the low beam on: then the high beam will also be adjusted correctly.

“How to properly adjust headlights”;
"How to improve headlights."

After debugging one headlight, the same manipulations are carried out with the second. If the reason why the headlights on the VAZ 2110 and 2114 shine poorly was an imbalance of direction, after adjustment it will become easier not only for you, but also for other drivers: often crooked headlights blind oncoming people. And it also causes inconvenience to fellow travelers if they get caught in the interior rearview mirror.

Preliminary preparation for adjusting the luminous flux of headlights

Read

Headlights need to be adjusted not so much for good illumination, but so that the luminous flux does not cause discomfort to oncoming drivers, in other words, does not blind them, especially at night. Both low and high beams are adjusted in a car service center, under the supervision of experts. If you have, albeit small, unfortunately, the ability to repair cars, you can actually perform this process independently in your garage, performing it step by step:

Checking serviceability. First you need to check whether the car headlight range control is working properly. What exists is that this mechanism plays an important role, one might say, in lighting. In order for the light flux to be adjusted correctly, you should make sure that it is in good working order and is functioning normally.
Choosing the right site. The headlights are adjusted on a completely level area. Having chosen a suitable place, you should check how even it is using a special level; if there is no skew, you can safely park the car on the site.
Having measured approximately 6 meters from the car, it is necessary to free up space on the wall in order to use it for a typical screen where you can make notes with ordinary chalk.
Of course, the headlights can be adjusted correctly only in such a situation if the car’s tank is filled, the tire pressure is normal, and a person in the same weight category as the driver sits in the driver’s seat.

“Angel Eyes” - a new type of tuning

Installing “angel eyes” on a car yourself is not at all difficult. There are several options for this procedure:

buy finished products;
make them yourself using LED strip;
make it yourself using a transparent tube.

As practice shows, it is much better to make “angel eyes” yourself, since stores sell very low-quality and short-lived products. You can buy a ready-made LED strip and glue it to the inside of the optics with special glue or sealant. But it will still be more effective and brighter if you use an LED ring made of a plastic tube.

The work in this case consists of the following stages:

To begin with, the plastic tube is heated using a hair dryer. This must be done so that it bends well. However, you also need to understand that if the product is overheated, it will become deformed.
After this, use pliers to bend the tube around the can, so you get an even circle.
When the part has cooled, the edges are sawed off.
Resistors and LEDs are assembled using the same scheme. It is important to sand the ends thoroughly.
Then, using a hacksaw, notches are made around the perimeter at approximately a distance of 2-2.5 mm. The ends are covered with foil and a special tube.
Next, the made ring is attached with glue around the optic lens. It is important that the notches are on the inside.

If you clearly follow the instructions and correctly carry out all stages of the work, the updated headlight will have a very presentable appearance and will be able to last about 7 years without replacement.

Next, vertical stripes are drawn on the previously constructed shield. Three stripes must be marked on the wall and marked with various signs, for example:

line F must be drawn parallel to the middle of the car;
line “A” parallel to the left car headlight;
line “B”, respectively, is right.

Horizontal stripes are marked. A horizontal mark is made through the F line, which we will call H, and stepping back approximately 60-65 cm from it, we draw an additional horizontal mark R. Next, we proceed to adjusting the light flux at home.

DIY installation of bi-xenon lenses in VAZ 2110 headlights

Installing bi-xenon lenses in the headlights will also help eliminate the problem of insufficient road illumination. This gives us the opportunity to provide high-quality illumination of both the near and far zones, without blinding the drivers of oncoming cars. This makes the light more saturated. This also affects the quality of the review.

Installing lenses with your own hands is a rather labor-intensive and responsible process. You are interfering with the design of the lanterns. If mistakes are made, this may lead to an emergency on the road. All work must be done extremely carefully, conscientiously and responsibly.

The lens installation algorithm is as follows:

Let's disassemble the headlight. To do this, you need to heat it so that the sealant becomes soft and open it with a knife.
We remove the reflector.
Special adapters will need to be made from aluminum or steel sheet, with the help of which the lens will be fixed.
After installing the lens with edging, we adjust the inside of the headlight. To do this, you can make slits on the side walls and cover the voids with pieces of plastic. We leave space between the lens and the substrate - it will be needed to adjust the lighting.
We assemble the headlight, making sure that it is sealed tightly. Otherwise, it will fog up during operation, which will affect the quality of lighting.
After installation, we adjust the lights, after which you can evaluate all the advantages of the tuning performed.

Another option for bi-xenon headlights

Step-by-step adjustment of headlights on your own car

Before you improve the headlights on the VAZ-2110 at home, you need to independently adjust the luminous flux . This is quite easy to do if you follow the following tips:

the headlight located on the right side must be covered with at least some convenient material that will not transmit light, for example, cardboard;
the corrector should be turned to the first position;
Under the car hood you need to find special screws designed to adjust the light output. By turning them in the desired direction, the adjustment process is carried out;
a correctly adjusted left headlight illuminates the H line from above, and the lower stream of light is displayed on the P stripes.

The right headlight is also adjusted using the same method, while the left one is closed. You should definitely make sure that the luminous flux does not fall too low. When a difficulty is detected, the headlights will certainly rise higher so that when driving the driver can perfectly see pedestrians, especially in the dark .

.
But under no circumstances should they be raised very high, because such placement will blind oncoming cars, which often leads to emergency situations on the highway. Only correct adjustment of the light flux , which will be carried out taking into account the above tips, will help you avoid unpleasant situations.

Available offers

Unfortunately, you cannot find LED rings that are suitable for the VAZ 2110 to create the angel eyes effect in regular auto parts stores. But they are available in numerous online stores. Therefore, there should be no problems with the search.

LED

Just remember that the inner diameter of the ring is 54 millimeters, and the diameter of the outer ring is 70 millimeters. These parameters are suitable specifically for installation in Kirzhach.

Although you may well go the other way - make your own rings from LEDs. You will need a transparent rod filled with LEDs. You will find similar components...in a building materials store. Just keep in mind that they need to be bent into a ring. To do this, use a hair dryer. It will soften the rod. The procedure requires precision handling, but it is quite possible to do it yourself.

The third option is to purchase at least 8 LEDs for each headlight and buy a plastic rod separately. This is the most complex approach and will require bending the rod, connecting the LEDs evenly and getting them to work.

The choice is yours. Go for it! And if you don’t want to take risks or waste time making your own LED rings a la angel eyes, then order them online. There are more than enough offers there now.

How can you improve your headlights yourself?

Only when the luminous flux

adjusted, with slight modifications you can improve the headlight illumination on your own car without the help of others.
First, the headlight
is removed, and the improvement is carried out in this order:

The protective glass is removed. To make it easier to remove the protection, it is recommended to heat the glass using a regular hair dryer for this purpose. A warm air flow will warm up the sealant, after which the panel, of course, can be easily separated from the headlight using a sharp knife;
carefully remove the reflective gasket;
When using the appropriate tool, it is necessary to move the lens approximately 15 mm towards the reflector or slightly shorten the modular ring on a lathe.

Such actions will help not only improve the light of the headlights, but also increase the luminous flux and make it much wider. Both adjusting the headlights and improving the luminous flux , as you can see, is a fairly common process that is available to every car enthusiast.

Installation of headlight washers on a VAZ 2110

Have you ever thought about installing headlight washers in a VAZ 2110? In fact, the thing is very convenient. There's no need to go out and clean your headlights when you can just press a button. And clean headlights mean traffic safety! First, let's define what kind of headlight washers there are, and how they differ from each other: Types of windshield wipers and headlights:

With brushes
Jet (high pressure)

Headlight washers with brushes are considered to be the most effective. Here I think there is no need to explain and it is clear that dirt will be better washed off from the headlight glass if you physically wash it, and not just pour water on it :) High-pressure jet headlight wipers, unlike brush ones, clean the headlights only with a jet of liquid.

A very powerful jet of liquid escaping from the nozzles allows you to remove dirt deposits on the headlight or at least moisten this dirt in difficult conditions. Obviously, dirt is washed off better when it has not yet dried and there will be practically no difference between the two types of washers, but the situation changes when the dirt is already dry.

We recommend: Changing the VAZ 2110 crankshaft oil seal yourself

High-pressure windshield wipers can only partially remove such contamination, unlike brush wipers, which will more effectively clean the headlight glass. Don’t forget about the temperature. When the air temperature is below zero, you need to use antifreeze. And in severe frost it is better not to use headlight cleaners at all. Everyone knows that the headlight glass heats up from the lens, so if ice water gets on the headlight glass, it can crack.

To increase the effectiveness of headlight washers, it is recommended to use heated water. It is clear that warm or hot water cleans dirt much better, in addition, it becomes possible to use the washer in winter without the threat that the headlight glasses may burst. If you decide to heat the washer reservoir, then it is better to use one common one for the headlight cleaning fluid and windshield washer bachek.

The disadvantage of a common washer reservoir is that you will have to add water/antifreeze to it more often, and the plus is that the heating of the reservoir is also common. When using a separate reservoir for washing headlights, you will have to heat the second reservoir, in addition, the kits do not include a liquid level sensor, so You will have to check the amount of water in the tank visually (unless, of course, you install it yourself). It must be taken into account that all headlight washers cannot completely clean the headlights (the cleaning area depends on the model of windshield wipers).

Brush washers do not reach the edges of the headlight and high-pressure cleaners also have a strictly limited cleaning area, and the jet cleans much worse at the edges than in the center. But often this is quite enough to improve lighting in dirty weather. Also, washers can be retractable or permanently sticking out :), also with high and low pillars, spherical and flat.. On the top ten, both spherical nozzles (in the bumper) and flat ones (in the eyelashes under the headlights) are installed. You can install headlight washers on the VAZ 2110:
