The reasons for replacing rear lights on a VAZ 2110-2112 can be different and the main ones are the following:
- damage due to unsuccessful parking or an accident;
- darkening and fading over time.
This repair procedure is quite simple and you can do everything yourself, having only a few tools on hand, the list of which is given below:
- Phillips blade screwdriver.
- Ratchet handle.
- 8 mm head.
- Extension.
Removing and installing rear lights on a VAZ 2110-2112
I think there is no need to explain once again that the rear lights are located in blocks, one of which is located in the wing, and the second in the trunk lid, so we will consider the removal procedure separately.
Removing the parking light and turn signal
So, first of all, open the trunk lid and open the “window” with Velcro in the place shown in the picture below:
As you can see, there is one nut that needs to be unscrewed. After this, you need to unscrew the self-tapping screw from the side with a screwdriver, with which the casing is attached. It is enough to do this in one place, as shown in the photo below:
And we move it back slightly to gain access to the remaining nuts securing the rear lights.
Now you can start unscrewing the two nuts that secure the lamp:
And then from the back side, you can carefully, without making excessive efforts, pull the lantern so that it comes out:
Since at first we did not disconnect the block with wires, we can do this now:
At this point we can consider half the work done. Now let's move on.
Removing the reverse light and brake light
First, with the trunk open, remove the power plug from the board, as is clearly demonstrated below:
Now all that remains is to unscrew the two nuts, which are clearly visible in the picture below:
And also, as was done in the previous description, we take out the flashlight from the back side. The central pad may be slightly in the way, but you don’t have to remove it if you act carefully:
If necessary, we replace it, and installation proceeds in the reverse order. What can we say about the cost: at the moment, a set of rear lights for a VAZ 2110-2112 is about 2000 rubles, but all this can be bought separately in blocks, that is, two right and two left blocks.
Removing headlights
Removing the rear headlights is not always required only for upgrading the VAZ-2110. This operation may also be required if the lighting elements are damaged or the lenses burn out.
To dismantle the optics, you only need two tools - a screwdriver and 8-mm wrenches (you can use a tool with a wrench). Removal is done like this:
- First, we dismantle the part of the canopy mounted on the wing. To do this, we provide access to the fastening nuts;
- Unscrew the fasteners;
- Carefully push out the equipment;
- After it comes out of the seat, disconnect the block with the wires;
- Let's move on to the second part of the lantern;
- Disconnect the block;
- Unscrew the fastening nuts;
- We remove the lighting element;
And then repair or replacement of the rear lights of the VAZ-2110 is carried out.
Now about modernization. It can be of two types - install lighting elements in which the design of the VAZ-2110 rear lights differs from the standard ones, or slightly alter the “native” headlights.
Repair work
VAZ headlights are dismantled using the following tools:
- crosshead screwdriver;
- 8mm head;
- extension;
- ratchet handle.
The rear optics are located in blocks, one of which is installed in the wing, the second - in the trunk lid. First remove the trunk trim. To do this you will need to unscrew the fasteners. The headlights are pulled out. The block with wires is disconnected.
The next stage involves dismantling the rear optics and brake light. First remove the power plug from the board. Then unscrew the nuts. If necessary, the central cover can be removed. Refinement of the rear lights on the “ten” involves replacing the board. This device is presented in the form of a thin tape with conductive tracks. It is replaced with an analogue from the OSVAR “stick”.
Removing the rear optics of a VAZ 2110
Before replacing the board, you will need to disassemble the taillights. To do this, use a screwdriver. Tuning of the rear lights is done using double bulbs for dimensions and stops and single bulbs for turns. Repair work involves the use of wire with a cross-section of 2.5 mm and M3 bolts.
Metal cartridges require some work. The terminals for the tips are moved 180º. The holes are finished with a file. The cartridges are fixed to the plastic using M3 bolts and nuts. The next step is to lay and solder the wires.
The cartridges are connected. The wire with the “plus” is laid on the turn signal, stops and dimensions. The resulting circuit is called. Installation work is carried out in reverse order. To tint the headlights, you will need to disassemble them. Then the spring is removed, the module with the reflector is dismantled. The screw is unscrewed. Before painting the surface, you will need to clean the reflector from the coating. Experts do not recommend painting optical elements with regular enamel. To do this, it is necessary to use heat-resistant paint.
DIY angel eyes
Auto mechanics identify several ways to install angel eyes on the “ten”:
- installation of new headlights with ProSport LEDs;
- modernization of optics using LED strip;
- making angel eyes from a transparent tube.
To make ProSport optics using LED strip, you will need sealant or glue. If repair work is carried out using a transparent plastic tube, then you will need to buy LEDs, resistors, a round jar, pliers, a drill and a 5 mm cutter.
The plastic pipe is preheated with a construction hairdryer. You will need pliers to bend it around the can. The edges are sawed off. The next stage involves assembling resistors and LEDs.
Assembly of resistors and LEDs for ProSport optics
The ends of the tube are ground and drilled with a milling cutter on both sides. To make notches, use a hacksaw for metal. In this case, a step of 2-2.5 mm is observed. The ends are covered with foil. The contacts for connecting the LEDs are pre-displayed. To fix the ring, use sealant or glue. Notches are made from the inside of the structure. Using a similar technique, the Kirzhach optics are fixed. To install headlights, Bosh will need to make additional fasteners.
Tuning the rear optics on the “ten” is done by selecting the resistance when connecting resistors and ensuring reliable sealing.
In this case, the headlights will last 5-7 years. To upgrade the rear optics with LEDs, you will need to remove the lights. The device is mounted in a reflector. The glass is first removed and the internal elements of the headlights are removed. Polyurethane foam is poured into the resulting cavity. The surface is covered with fiberglass or epoxy resin.
instructions with photos and videos
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.
We looked at the procedure for removing a Bosch headlight. Now let’s find out how to remove the Kirzhach optics. This work consists of the following stages:
A flat screwdriver is inserted into the corner of the headlight, as well as a utility knife, which is used to cut off the sealant. If you can’t cut with this tool, you can use a hair dryer;
then we proceed to remove the reflector
This is done like this: unscrew 3 bolts around the perimeter and unfasten 4 latches; then the headlights are carefully removed
As we can see, removing the headlights on a VAZ-2110 car is absolutely easy.
The situation is different with the modernization of optics
It is very important to understand what is suitable in a particular case and what is not. Let's try to understand this issue
Do-it-yourself headlight tuning on a VAZ-2110: tinting
After dismantling the old headlights, it is necessary to remove the spring in the hydraulic corrector hole. Next, the adjusting screw is unscrewed, after which the optics module with reflector is removed. Before you start painting the part, you need to clean it thoroughly. A degreasing primer is suitable for this. It is not advisable to paint with enamel, since the temperature inside the headlight is always very high. In this case, heat-resistant paint is perfect.
It is advisable to carry out the painting procedure itself in a dry room, very carefully, keeping this part at a distance from you
“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 circuit
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
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.
Types of light sources for rear headlights on a VAZ 2110
When going to the store to change a burnt-out taillight bulb from a VAZ 2110, a motorist is often faced with the difficulty of choosing what to install. On the counters are the well-known incandescent and halogen lamps. And right there next to the same base it is proposed to buy LED light bulbs. Or you can get confused and even install xenon on the VAZ. So which is better and more profitable?
Replacing lamps in the rear light
There is no clear answer to the question posed. On the one hand, incandescent lamps in VAZ cars, as well as their samples with the bulb space filled with halogen gas, are considered outdated technologies. Such light sources are characterized by unsatisfactory reliability, high heating levels and extremely low efficiency.
On the other hand, the price of such light sources is relatively small in comparison with LED and xenon samples. The advantages include low cost and absence of counterfeits. But the disadvantages caused by high energy consumption and low service life still outweigh.
Types of tail lamps
Therefore, it would be more correct and rational to install LED bulbs in the taillights of the VAZ 2110. The easiest way would be to simply buy a ready-made proposal for the base of the existing lighting. Or you can spend a certain amount of effort and upgrade the taillights with individual tuning.
Rear LED headlights "ten"
Xenon has the highest brightness and is not provided as an alternative light source on the VAZ 2110. The problem is that xenon lighting can blind motorists with an excessively strong glow. The use of xenon on VAZ 2110 vehicles is subject to particularly stringent requirements in accordance with technical standards.
What else can you do?
Another option for modifying the rear of the car is to install additional rear fog lights on the VAZ-2110. But such lighting elements will have to be purchased.
And then the PTFs are installed on the bumper and connected to the vehicle’s on-board network. Attaching additional lights to a standard bumper will not be easy, since you will have to cut holes for them. But you can also buy a tuning bumper, which has niches for PTF.
There are two ways to power the fog lights. The first one involves connecting them to the side lights. In this case, the fog lights will light up when the headlights are turned on.
In the second method, the PTF is also connected to the dimensions, but a power key is additionally embedded in the circuit, which is then installed on the dashboard.
This article will be of interest to those who decided to replace the rear lights on a VAZ 2110. For those who have another car, this will be an excellent example for such a homemade product. Today we will look at how to make round headlights, like those on legendary sports cars. Unfortunately, for the VAZ 2110 there are no such kits so that they can be installed, so here you have to do everything yourself. There are several options for how to make such headlights.
The easiest way to do this is by remaking the standard VAZ lights. But in order to do everything efficiently and beautifully, you will need to put in a certain amount of effort and spend some money. Let's consider each modification option separately.
Option 1. Reworking the standard VAZ taillights For such a modification you will need 56 red LEDs 5 mm in size. That is, there are 16 LEDs for each brake light size. You will also need to buy 8 LEDs for yellow turn signals.
The author decided to arrange the inner circle for turns, and the outer one will work as dimensions.
Creating dimensions
First, the LEDs will need to be mounted on any round platform. Due to the fact that the rear lights of the “dozens” cannot be disassembled, the author had to break the rear part. Then you can drill holes and install a round platform with LED diodes in them.
How to make brake lights:
Here the author decided not to use a platform, but simply attached the diodes in a circle on the wire. In the headlight, you also need to drill holes in the same way and then insert diodes in a circle. Since the diodes are inserted with some effort, the author did not use additional fastening for them. And finally, the headlights are painted to match the color of the car. This work took only 3 days.
Another way to create round flashlights It is unlikely that you will be able to buy such optics for tuning in a store today, but they sell elements that will allow you to make it yourself.
Those car enthusiasts who purchased taillight masks noticed the following feature: 1. This mask does not have attachment to the body and for installing optics;2. In order to hermetically install the modules into the mask, you need rubber seals under them;3. And yet, the holes in the mask for installing modules need to be improved.
Using universal rear round headlights In tuning departments you can still find such elements as universal round headlights. They come in several types. They are distinguished by quality, price and manufacturer.
In the first case, you can purchase the Pro-Sport kit, it is the cheapest, but has one drawback. Incandescent lamps are used here, and this leads to heating and, as a result, deformation. In this regard, everything will have to be modified, namely, changing incandescent lamps to LEDs, and this is investment and labor.
There is also a Hella kit, it costs twice as much, but is of higher quality. These headlights also shine much longer.
It is also important to note that these headlights are 2mm larger in size
For better tuning, you will need fiberglass putty, you will need finishing and roughing putty. You will also need sandpaper of different grits, as well as a lot of time, effort and patience. The work takes quite a long time and painstakingly, so you can’t do it without patience and inspiration. Then everything is sanded to a perfectly smooth state and painted to match the color of the car.
At the end of all the work, we get round headlights that are perfectly integrated into the car without gaps. Everything looks like these headlights were installed from the factory. In the photo you can see what the shape of the rear mask looks like after modification.
Below is a collection of cars that have had round headlights installed.
Tuning rear lights with LEDs on a VAZ 2110
Upgrading the standard lighting system of a VAZ is extremely simple. We will need:
- a set of 5 mm spot LEDs and resistors for them for automotive supply voltage. They can be bought at almost any lighting store;
- plexiglass, from which in the future a blank for mounting LEDs will be made;
- transparent glue moment and superglue;
- silicone, transparent or black.
When purchasing LEDs, do not forget about the concept of color differentiation. This means that, according to technical standards, VAZ rear lights must be red, and turn signals must be bright yellow or amber. Thus, the color of the LEDs is selected based on their intended purpose. The glow should be as bright as possible.
LEDs in the taillights for the “two-wheeler”
To begin, remove the stock lighting system from the VAZ 2110. Using a utility knife, we pass it around the perimeter of the rear headlights, separating them from the car body. Next, separate the outer diffuser of the lampshade from the reflector.
Cut out a blank from plexiglass to the size of the VAZ headlight, where LEDs will later be installed in the drilled holes. You can set a round shape for the new design, or place the backlight over the entire area of the taillight. It all depends on your imagination.
In order to give the finished product a stylish look, the outer part of the glass can be tinted with a special film or varnish. Plexiglass, in order to hide the glue deposits and the wiring hidden behind it, is matted from the front and painted, for example, silver. The finished product is attached back to the car body with Moment glue and sealed with silicone.
Advantages of modern diodes
Recently, diodes have been increasingly used in the production of optics. These light sources have the following advantages:
1. Service life is at least 5-10 years. The design of the diodes is quite simple, and the features of their operation determine the possibility of operation for more than 5 years. 2. Low energy consumption. The design of the car determines that by reducing the amount of energy consumed, fuel consumption is significantly reduced. Also, do not forget that when the internal combustion engine is not running, the lights are powered by a battery. The less energy they consume, the longer the battery will last. 3. Resistant to environmental influences. If ordinary lamps are quite susceptible to high humidity, then LEDs are not 4. When creating complex structures from several LEDs, a rather beautiful look is created.
In general, we can say that there are quite a lot of advantages of diodes. That is why they are used to create modern structures.

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.
Buying a ready-made set
The fairly strong distribution of the car in question has become the reason that many optical manufacturers are creating special tuning kits. The advantages of this tuning method include the following points:
- Only high-quality materials and modern equipment are used in production.
- The created headlight sets are ideal for installation on a car. In other words, you don’t have to modify the car - installation takes no more than one hour, and you can get by with a standard set of tools.
- The next important point is the fairly large selection. There are several hundred sets of optics that are suitable for installation on the vehicle in question. The choice can be made quite simply - the type of light source, as well as the design, are taken into account.
- The service life of most offerings on the market is quite long.
The above points can be called the main ones. Headlights for a VAZ 2110 tuning cost relatively little, but still creating the design yourself can significantly reduce costs.
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:
Do-it-yourself tinting of rear lights in VAZ 2110-2112 cars
Tinted taillights help make the rear of your car look more stylish and elegant. You can easily do this work yourself if you want to avoid unnecessary financial expenses that would be entailed by calling a car service center. You have the opportunity to tint the taillights of your car using 2 means:
- tinting varnish;
- tint film.
The varnish is sold in special cans. It should indicate that it is intended for car headlights.
The taillights can be removed for work, or all the work can be done without it. The process looks like this:
- you need to thoroughly wash and dry the taillights;
- degrease with alcohol;
- Apply the varnish from a distance of about 30 cm. It is necessary to take breaks between layers for drying. The more layers, the stronger the tinting effect;
- After the last layer has dried, you can perform a special polishing to obtain a matte effect.
Film tinting of rear lights
It must be remembered that the tinting varnish is washed off over time. If you want to remove it from your car's tail lights, use acetone. It will help you easily get rid of tinting varnish.
Film is a more convenient means of tinting, since it can be removed at any time.
On sale you can find a wide selection of different tint films. Try not to save money and buy the highest quality. The price difference won't hit your pocket too hard. The film is applied as follows:
- wash and dry car taillights;
- degrease them;
- we try on the film and do the cutting;
- spray the surface of the headlights with soapy water;
- remove the backing from the film and apply it to the surface to be pasted;
- Use a special rubber spatula to press, smooth and expel all the water and air from the inside;
- After drying, the work can be considered completed.
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
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.
Replacing a headlight bulb - how it is done
Light bulb for rear light of VAZ 2110
To change the headlight bulb in the headlight, you need to perform the following steps:
- remove the battery;
- holding the lamp from behind, separate the wires in the block directly from the lamp;
- remove the rubber cover;
- remove the end of the spring retainer with the hook from engagement, move the retainer to the side;
- remove the light bulb from the headlight housing;
- install a new lamp, performing the reverse sequence of actions.
Note. If the side light bulb in the headlight turns out to be faulty, it must be replaced on site. Otherwise, you need to drive to where the repairs will be carried out with the headlight lamp turned off.
Causes of malfunction
Bulbs for the rear lights of the VAZ 2110
There may be several reasons why the lighting does not work. Each malfunction requires an individual approach and implies its own troubleshooting methods. Causes of the malfunction and methods for eliminating them (if some lamps of flashlights and headlights do not work):
- burnt fuses - replace them (see VAZ 2110: how to replace fuses);
- lamp filaments are burnt out - change the lamps;
- contacts on relays or switches have oxidized - clean them;
- the wires are damaged, their tips are oxidized or the connections are loose - replace the faulty wires, clean the tips;
- The contact jumpers at the location of the lamp control relay have oxidized - clean them.
Rear fog lamp bulbs for VAZ 2110
Sometimes the headlight lens fogs up a lot. What are the reasons and what to do in this case:
- leaky adhesion of the lens to the body - immerse the headlight unit in water, if liquid penetrates, replace the headlight;
- moisture enters in the direction from the engine compartment during the process of washing the car - eliminate the liquid from the headlight unit.
Signs of trouble
If the odometer suddenly refuses to work, and the speedometer works jerkily, or “lies” regarding speed and mileage, these are direct indications that the speed sensor or its drive is failing. It is also possible that there is a problem in the electrical circuit, the connector is failing, the pinout is mixed up, if the operation of this system has been interfered with, etc.
In addition, an indirect indication of a malfunction may be that the car stalls at idle (although there may be other reasons for this).
Naturally, if the speedometer begins to give deliberately false readings, and the “CHECK ENGINE” light is on on the dashboard, then the reason is the speed sensor.
Features of electrical equipment
In addition, the automaker carried out factory preparation for installation of:
- electric windows;
- power steering;
- fog lights in the front bumper.
Note! The ECM was installed even on the VAZ-2110 with a carburetor power system and differed from later models with a fuel injection system.
Electrical diagram of VAZ 2110
For reference: on models with a carburetor, the button for turning on the rear fog lights had an intermediate position (fixation), thereby acting as a kind of contact protection.
The advent of fuel injection and electronic ignition systems on automobiles has significantly increased the requirements for electrical components. The current increased and many devices required relays for protection. (See also the article Installing fog lights on a Grant: features.)
That is why, starting in 2000, on models with an electronic system, it was necessary to better protect the contacts. Therefore, a relay was installed in the PTF control circuit between the button in the cabin and “+”. And the button itself was replaced with a dual-mode one.
Independent design modernization
You should pay attention to the fact that you can independently change the original optics, make it more effective and beautiful.
Headlights on a VAZ 2110 tuning are quite often painted or covered with a special film. Let's consider the features of painting the optics:
1. You can use paint that does not react to environmental influences. 2. Work should be carried out at positive temperatures. 3. First, you need to decide on the color of the paint - as a rule, it is selected according to the color of the car body. 4. Painting of the protective glass can only be done when the optics are dismantled. Dismantling work can be completed quite quickly: the design of the 2110 car is quite simple; to remove the optics, minor dismantling must be performed. 5. After the optics have been removed, they should be disassembled. First you need to remove the protective glass, which will be painted. 6. The next step can be called covering with masking tape those elements that should not be painted. 7. When applying paint, remember that the protective glass must transmit quite a lot of light. Therefore, paint is usually applied in a small layer. 8. After completing the painting work, you can assemble the optics and install them.
The above points should be taken into account in order to carry out the work efficiently and quickly.
Tuning
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.
Content
Optics are necessary to illuminate the road or indicate a vehicle on the road, indicating the direction of movement. Every year, more and more modern equipment and technologies are used, which increase the amount of light emitted, reduce the amount of energy consumption, and significantly increase service life. This is why tuning headlights for the VAZ 2110 are quite often purchased. This car is quite common in Russia and is popular among tuning enthusiasts.
Sidebar: Important: Standard optics are significantly inferior to modern ones: over time, the brightness decreases, the protective glass wears down significantly, the seal is broken, which leads to rapid failure of the lamp.
That is why we will consider all the features of changing car optics to more modern versions.
