What Bulbs are in the Tail Lights of a VAZ 2114 • Types of Bulbs in PTF

VAZ-2114 belongs to the Samara modification of the second generation. The side lights in them are located, in accordance with technical regulations, at the edge of the front and rear parts of the body, next to the turn signals. These lamps are included in the headlight units.

Unlike the front side lights, the rear ones are painted red.
The button to turn on these headlights is located in the exterior lighting control unit. It is located in the center of the dashboard above the on-board computer. If the dimensions are turned on, the green light on the switch lights up.

If the lights refuse to work on the left side, then fuse F11 must be replaced.

VAZ 2114 lamps: what base are used in the high and low beam headlights? To get to the instrument panel, you need to carry out some preparatory work, which will allow you to easily access the main device. Ask, I'm in touch!

Why might the tail light not light up?

Not a single motorist is insured against faulty side lights. It is important to quickly understand what the reason is and carry out repairs. Most often one of the lamps fails, then we can assume the reason for the failure:

The first occurs most often; in this case, it is enough to replace the failed lamp. If the lamp only works if you hit it, then there is a problem with the contacts (although physical impact does not always help). If during testing you find that the light bulb is intact, and there is no oxidation or carbon deposits in the socket, then you need to check the conductors.

Replacing a damaged lamp in the rear headlight unit is carried out according to the instructions:

turn off the lights and open the trunk;
remove decorative upholstery;
squeeze the latches and pull out the flashlight contact panel;
click on the burnt out lamp and turn it counterclockwise;
Check the light bulb on the tester and install a new one if necessary.

Assembling the lanterns is carried out in the reverse order. The lamp can also be replaced as an assembly. To do this, it is only important to purchase a high-quality version that is no different from the original. Car enthusiasts often recommend purchasing stock components or paying attention to. We recommend replacing the assembly if there is significant damage to the structure.

Often, taillight lamps do not immediately burn out or refuse to work, but indicate problems with a faint glow. First, clean the group of contacts located in the mounting block, and then, if the fault cannot be corrected, check the groups leading to each lamp.

Replacing lamps

We have figured out the type of lamps, what we know to buy for replacements, now we will find out how to replace them. Let's start with “stops” and reverse.

Brake and reverse lights

We open the trunk lid, look under it and see the back of the lamp. Squeeze the two latches at the edges and remove the board with the lamps. The power connector does not need to be disconnected - the length of the wires is quite sufficient for this operation.

Removing the board with lamps

We find the desired lamp, guided by the picture at the beginning of the article, slightly recess it, turn it counterclockwise and remove it from the socket. We install a new one in place of the burnt one and fix it by turning it clockwise.

Turns, dimensions and fog lights

Let's move on to the rear light of the VAZ 2110 installed in the body. Here we have to replace the turn indicator lamps, side lights and fog lights. We open the trunk lid and opposite the lamp in the upholstery we find a valve with Velcro. We open it and see the back of the lantern.

The rear part of the tail light of the VAZ 2110 is closed by a valve in the upholstery

At the top and bottom we find two latches. Push them towards the center of the lantern.

The board with lamps is secured using two latches

We take out the board with the light bulbs. On the removed board we see 3 turn signal lights and two more nearby: a large one for the fog light and a small one for the side light.

Removed board with lights

All three bulbs are removed in the same way - by lightly pressing and turning counterclockwise. We take out the burnt one.

Turn signal lamp removed

We install a new one in its place and fix it by pressing and turning clockwise. We return the board to its place, snap it into place with the latches, and close the back of the lamp with the trunk trim flap.

What lamps are in the dimensions of the VAZ 2114

The standard equipment of VAZ 2114 cars includes installation of the following lamps in the dimensions and front/rear headlights:

Recently, users are increasingly replacing standard light bulbs in the dimensions of the VAZ 2114 with LED ones, since they have a much longer resource, consume less energy and shine with a beautiful color. In order for the diodes to produce spectacular side lights with a bluish tint, weak 1-5 diode lamps are not suitable. It is better to use 12-15 diodes.

They will give a bright white glow in the daytime, and in the dark this glow will be blue-white. It is advisable to replace all side lights, or at least the front or rear lights on both sides, with such lamps at the same time. In this case, the car looks organic, and the difference in the shades of the glow of the dimensions will not mislead other road users.

And that’s it., finally)) the mounting block turned out to be working, but still left a new one as a spare, because everything on the old glass heating fuses burned out. I replaced the rear boards and harnesses with wire plugs, all the wiring was rotted in the plugs, and the stop on the spoiler was also replaced with a new one, the old one somehow broke along with all the stops for the company.

Total. Stop in spoiler 250 rub. Boards cost 220 rubles each assembled. Flagella 20 RUR, mounting block from disassembly 1000 RUR.

The new stop spoiler is of much worse quality, the factory one was much brighter. The lamps in the new stop are terrible

We got around to replacing the mounting block with a new one. I rearranged everything and ooooopppppaaaa. The feet still don't work)))

To be honest, I don’t know where to dig anymore...

In the meantime, I’m waiting for my salary, I’ve already gotten used to pressing the rear PTF button when braking))) so that no one will correct my ass))) at least somehow attract attention that I’m braking)))

Still, I decided to disassemble the mounting block and the forecast is disappointing, fuse f4, which seems to be used for heating the rear window, the cigarette lighter and somewhere else, melts the board, everything around it is scorched, the board can’t even be reached, the plastic has already melted to it, next to fuse f3 it is is responsible for the brake lights, perhaps the whole reason is this, how reluctant I am to buy a new unit... but I’ll have to go on a hike. So far I have only treated it with liquid electrical insulation before replacing the unit

That's all we have. all 3 brake lights (spoiler) do not work. The light bulbs are intact, the grounds have been cleaned, the boards are in more or less perfect condition, the tracks are intact, the lamp serviceability relay has been replaced with a new one, the frog is working, the frog is receiving power. for a mystic?))))

In short: in the footsteps, today it was the same, two lamps stupidly burned out at the same time. The spoiler most likely has some wiring cut somewhere. Regarding the turn signal: this is a jamb of the board, either change the lights completely, or just start the car, turn on the lights, turn signal and lightly hit the glass with your palm several times until it is fixed (the contact comes off there). Cleaning doesn't help for long.

stripping does not save for very long. If the weather is rainy or winter, then a month at most (

Check the limit switch (frog) under the brake pedal, it may be damaged. Better yet, buy it and replace it right away, the price is reasonable.

I removed the wires from the frog, shorted it out, nothing lights up, I’ll buy a tester, I’ll have to see if there’s any current flowing to it at all

Check the limit switch (frog) under the brake pedal, it may be damaged. Better yet, buy it and replace it right away, the price is reasonable.

There are 12 V on the wires to the frog, so what?) I shorted the wires, everything is quiet. Let's go to the relay then

And if it burns out, the stops don’t burn? It is also responsible for the fact that if they do not light up, it signals or I do not understand its essence correctly

How can I check the relay? With others, it’s clear they click) should this also be?)))

if it’s burnt, you’ll know by the smell)) and you can open it, there are 2 latches on the sides, you can pry them off and the relay housing will come off

The problem with the blinking of the fog lights along with the turn signals was solved by cleaning the contacts of the headlight. My feet don't still burn. I'm looking at the relay

Are both feet missing? Look at the relay for monitoring lamp malfunctions (the largest in the ChYa) when I paralleled the stops with the PTF, the relay burned out from overload, but yours may have just burned out from a bad ground))

How to change the lamps on the dashboard yourself?

1. Disconnect the wire directed to the cigarette lighter;
2. Remove the casing from the panel in the same way as it was disconnected from the radio. After this, you will see the screws that need to be unscrewed.
3. Carefully, but using little force, detach the cover.
4. Disconnect the wires from the clock, headlights, alarms and other things.
5. Remove the instrument panel by unscrewing the screws that hold it in place. To protect the wires from damage, it is better to disconnect them on one side.
6. Before replacing the light bulbs themselves, it is necessary to remove their sockets, which is done by rotating the latter counterclockwise. Then the defective lamps on the panel are replaced with new ones, and the structure is assembled in the reverse order.

If you find that one of the low beam lamps has stopped working, then you should not start replacing it right on the highway, creating an emergency situation. It is better to drive to the nearest gas station or parking lot, where you can fix the problem in a calm environment.

If one of the low beam lamps stops lighting while driving, you can temporarily turn on the fog lights (to easily get to the place of replacement). The low beam lamp of the VAZ 2114 is replaced quite simply. The tools you will definitely need are a screwdriver (thin) and an awl.

For an experienced car enthusiast, the entire procedure will take 3-7 minutes. However, those who are faced with such a replacement for the first time should not rush. It is important to complete all the steps listed below correctly. Replacing a failed lamp is done as follows:

Unscrew the bolts on the protective cover (2 pcs.).
Remove the cover (under it you can see the lamp holder mechanism (spring) and the 3-pin headlight power connection block).
Disconnect the 3-pin block.
Gently compress the spring of the fastener (holder) and remove the non-working light bulb.
We insert a new lamp into the holder.
We install the protective cover in place, and then secure it with bolts.

Make sure that during the replacement process you do not touch the glass surface of the bulb with your fingers (this can lead to rapid failure of the new lamp). If this happens, fingerprints must be carefully removed with alcohol.

It is preferable to replace low beam lamps in pairs (if one of the headlights burns out, insert new ones into both). In this case, the same luminous flux (in terms of brightness and intensity) from each headlight will be provided.

Tail light repair

The most common reason for the failure of a VAZ 2114 rear light is the failure of a flexible printed circuit board or a connector made directly on it with conventional metallization. You can, of course, just buy a new printed circuit board and replace the faulty one with it, but, firstly, for how long?

And secondly, we are not looking for easy ways. So we will try to eliminate this malfunction on our own, at minimal cost and in such a way that it will last forever. Let's start with the connector for connecting the flashlight to the on-board network. It looks something like this:

The connector for connecting the rear light to the on-board network is part of a flexible circuit board and cannot be replaced separately

There are many reasons for this connector to fail. For example, we removed the power supply from the flashlight too often and simply partially erased the traces, which have a very small thickness of copper deposition on the plastic. Another reason is that the conductive paths next to the connector broke due to constant vibration. Well, the most banal thing is that the tracks burned out due to overload or short circuit.

Due to burnout of the conductive tracks of the flexible board, the rear fog lights do not light up

The photo shows a flashlight connector of a different modification, but the meaning of the problem is the same. All these issues can be solved with the help of a soldering iron, mounting wire and a regular six-pin (or more) connector with a mating part.

For repairs you will need this block with a mating part

We clean the connector contacts on the board using a student eraser (not sandpaper - the foil is very thin!) and service them.

You need to tin the tracks very quickly with a well-heated soldering iron. Otherwise, the tracks will simply fall off the substrate.

We solder the wires from the block onto the tracks, not forgetting to mark them, and fill the soldering area with sealant or a hot glue gun.

Mounting block soldered to the rear light board

We cut off the standard power harness block, and in its place we solder the mating part of the new one. We assemble the flashlight, connect it to the on-board network - and check it. If we haven't messed up the wiring of the pads, then everything will work right away with a bang.

What to do if the tracks are burned out or broken? You can get out of this situation as follows. Immediately after the fracture, we clean the protective varnish from the tracks, tin, and solder the block. It will look like this:

You can solder the header anywhere on the flexible board.

You can, of course, limit yourself to this (until next time), but if you spend a little more time and effort, you can make more serious repairs. Flashlights modified in this way will serve faithfully for many years. Such a repair will save you from the eternal problem of contacts of flimsy standard sockets - this is also a very common malfunction of VAZ 2114 headlights.

To implement this idea, in addition to the six-pin block with a mating part (see above), you will need five cartridges from the VAZ 2106 direction indicators and a dozen terminals for them.

You will need 5 such cartridges and 10 terminals for them

We remove the lamps, standard sockets and flexible printed circuit board from the panel. We place the purchased cartridges in the right places on the panel and mark their centers. Special precision is not required here, the main thing is that each lamp shines into its own “window”. We drill holes according to the diameter of the base parts of the cartridges.

Holes for future cartridges

We insert the cartridges into the holes, mark the mounting holes, drill them, and screw in the screws. Now the cartridges are firmly fixed in the panel.

We secure each cartridge with two self-tapping screws

Using a mounting wire with terminals pressed onto it (you can crimp it with ordinary pliers and solder it to be sure), we assemble a circuit that repeats the layout of a standard flexible printed circuit board. To be sure, the terminals can be insulated with heat-shrinkable tubing, but in principle this is not necessary - the panel on which the cartridges are mounted is plastic. We solder our block to the ends of the wires.

This block will connect the rear light to the on-board network

We solder the mating part of the block to the power supply harness of the lights, having first cut off the old one. We solder it, not twist it together. The twist will oxidize in a week, and problems will begin again - sometimes it burns, sometimes it doesn’t. We insulate the solder joint with heat shrink or cotton (black rag) tape. PVC electrical tape is an extremely bad option. It can unfold over time. This kind of isolation is no good.

Everything is ready, you can connect and check

We admire our work for a couple of minutes, insert the lamps, connect them, check them. Is everything working as expected? We assemble the lantern and connect it.

The lantern is in place, all problems are solved for a long time

Reasons for failure of side light bulbs

There may be several reasons why a particular light bulb of the VAZ 2114 dimensions stopped lighting, namely:

What kind of lighting do you prefer?

Built-in Chandelier

open circuit (no voltage at the headlights);
the side light bulb has failed for some reason;
the corresponding fuse has blown;
the fuse box has failed;
The lights button is broken.

Most often, the cause of failure is a malfunction of the light bulb itself. Fixing such a malfunction is quite simple; it is important to know exactly how to do it.

How to change side light bulbs on a VAZ 2114

Adapter

Alas, the quality and efficiency of the standard cabin filter provided for the VAZ 2114 leaves much to be desired.

Essentially, it is a strip of filter material that is located between two plastic grilles. The effectiveness of this design is insignificant, which forces car owners to take certain measures.

The best measure is to install a filter adapter. Making it yourself is not difficult, although there are other ways to obtain this design.

Adapter drawing example

Thanks to the adapter, it becomes possible to install a truly effective air purifier for the cabin, which retains the smallest particles and does not allow the driver and passengers to breathe dust.

Externally, the adapter is an improved housing for the interior ventilation system with a filter built into it. The design consists of two elements - the rear and the front. A filter is inserted into the rear component, and the joints between the adapter parts are sealed with rubber gaskets. This ensures the necessary tightness. The design nuances will allow you to avoid moisture penetration even when washing the car.

Article on the topic: How to properly start a car from a pushrod: injector and carburetor

When planning the installation of the adapter, experts strongly recommend using a pleated cabin filter borrowed from the VAZ 2110.

The simplicity of the adapter design makes it possible to replace the filter with your own hands in the shortest possible time. And during installation you do not have to remove the heater. So this is an ideal solution to significantly improve the ventilation system of your VAZ 2114.

Options for obtaining an adapter

If you have made the right decision that you want to get an adapter for your VAZ 2114, you need to decide how exactly you will get it.

There are three main options for this.

You should start making your own adapter only if you are completely confident in your own abilities. Spend the money you save on purchasing a high-quality carbon filter from a VAZ 2110.

Making the adapter

The instructions for creating an adapter with your own hands are quite simple. Another question is how accurately you can implement your plans.

Find diagrams to create an adapter. Now there are many of them on the Internet. Just keep in mind that you need an adapter specifically for the VAZ 2114.
Make a layout out of paper so that you understand exactly where each part goes and how they are connected to each other.
Stock up on the required amount of stainless or galvanized steel. Some people use plastic, but it is a little more difficult to work with, plus it can cause problems when getting bends.
Cut out the necessary adapter elements from the material, guided by the drawing and layout.
Use a vice and mallet to make bends. The walls will be thin, so do not use a metal hammer. It is better to take a wooden or rubber mallet.
The parts are connected using M3 bolts or rivets.
The advantage of rivets is that you do not need to drill holes in the metal. But they also have a drawback - a high probability of damage to a thin sheet of metal.
At the last stage, carefully treat all joints, connections and holes with sealant. This will allow the structure not to make unnecessary noise while driving.

When is it possible?

To replace it, you need to disconnect the block with wires and remove the contact panel from the flashlight. Here you just need to squeeze the side latches to remove the plastic panel;
Apply a little pressure on the cartridge and unscrew it counterclockwise;
Check the condition of the contacts and wiring;
Screw in a new light bulb that matches the previously installed one;
If necessary, before screwing in the new lamp, clean the contacts and test the wiring with a tester. There may be a break in the circuit, so a new light bulb will not work.

Additional Tips

Before each trip, especially over long distances, you should check the functionality of all lighting equipment, including brake lights. In order to reduce the likelihood of breakdowns along the way, you need to periodically check the condition of the sockets and bases of the rear light bulbs, and periodically clean them of oxides and dirt.

In case a breakdown does occur, you should always have an additional set of light bulbs and 10 amp fuses in your car, as well as a multimeter to check them.

Why don't FZH work?

There are several reasons why FZHs can fail. Let's try to understand them.

Replace the burnt out bulb with a new one, check the condition of the contacts

Check, replace if necessary. A fuse can lead to loss of functionality of the entire contact circuit

The board is located under the lamp. Simple repair to fix the problem

You will have to diagnose the condition of the circuit, check the integrity of the wiring using a tester and a visual method

You will need to clean the contacts and replace the elements if necessary.

In such a situation, the issue of gearbox malfunction will have to be resolved.

How to check the functionality of the frog?

The contacts from the sensor are removed and clamped together, after which the ignition is turned on. If there is light, then you need to replace the sensor. And if not, then the problem is in the circuit, but the frog is fine.

When the reverse lamp does not light up, it is often necessary to replace the old sensor with a new one.

What should be done:

place the car on the overpass;
install the handbrake;
remove protection;
remove the contacts of the old sensor;
place the container and remove the frog;
Unscrew the faulty device and replace it with a new one.

Then let it sit for a while and check the oil in the gearbox. Fill it up to the required level and put the entire structure back together.

Attention, the price of a new sensor is within 250 rubles. The next option, if the reverse light does not light up on a VAZ 2114, then the problem is in the light bulb

To replace it, you need to disconnect the wire block, remove the plastic contact panel from the flashlight, while squeezing the side fixing elements

The next option is if the reverse light does not light up on a VAZ 2114, then the problem is in the light bulb. To replace it, you need to disconnect the wiring block, remove the plastic contact panel from the flashlight, while squeezing the side fixing elements.

We rotate the light bulb counterclockwise and, pressing slightly on the socket, remove it. Now we install a new one, check the contacts and put the entire unit back together.

We visually assess the condition of the wiring; if necessary, we strip the wires, check for breaks using the ringing method, and check the contacts on the headlight film.

Why aren't the reverse lights on yet?

A blown fuse is a common cause, which means you need to know exactly where they are located and how they change.

The products are located in the fuse box, which can be found under the steering wheel on the left side. It can be easily removed with just one touch of your hand. There is no need to unscrew anything.

When the reverse light does not light, you need to check the condition of the fuses. How to do this? You can visually look at the fuses and determine the breakdown - the integrity of the middle part.

But the burnt jumper is not always so clearly visible, so you need to turn on the dimensions and, without removing the fuses, check the voltage; if one end is lit and the other is not, the device is faulty.

Attention: when such a breakdown often occurs, you need to check the entire electrical wiring system, which causes such malfunctions in the car. To replace the product, you don’t need tools, just take tweezers, remove the old unit and install a working one

To replace the product, you don’t need tools, just take tweezers, remove the old unit and install a working one.

Key conclusions and recommendations from professionals

You can find out where the VAZ 2114 reverse sensor is located very simply by looking up at the gearbox, and if the driver cannot get under the car, then the hood opens and thus the condition of the frog is checked.

To completely verify that the brake gearbox is damaged, you need to turn the wheels to the left and look at the gearbox from the driver’s side. There is a protection with contacts inside on the side, remove it, close the contacts on the DZH and turn on the ignition. When everything is in order, a white light appears.

If not, then use a tester to measure the voltage on ground and on the orange wire that comes from the frog. If voltage is present, then we check the flashlight board itself and clean the contacts.

There is also a chance that the contact between the frog and the fuse block has “frozen”; you need to find it and check its condition.

Attention: when everything is normal, but the lights do not light, the reason may be the contact of the lamp, so even when screwing in a new one, you must check its functionality. As the people say, the devil never jokes, because a breakdown can be the easiest, but lead to a lot of troubles

This is why the reverse light on the VAZ 2114 does not light up, as you can see, there can be many reasons, and for the motorist it is important to carefully check the integrity of all frog mechanisms, identify the malfunction and repair the functionality of the lighting

Have a nice journey, good fellow travelers and a smooth road!

Characteristics of side lights VAZ-2114

Unlike the front side lights, the rear ones are painted red.
The button to turn on these headlights is located in the exterior lighting control unit. It is located in the center of the dashboard above the on-board computer. If the dimensions are turned on, the green light on the switch lights up.

If the lights refuse to work on the left side, then fuse F11 must be replaced.

Checking the functionality of the sensor

1. Disconnect the wire directed to the cigarette lighter;
2. Remove the casing from the panel in the same way as it was disconnected from the radio. After this, you will see the screws that need to be unscrewed.
3. Carefully, but using little force, detach the cover.
4. Disconnect the wires from the clock, headlights, alarms and other things.
5. Remove the instrument panel by unscrewing the screws that hold it in place. To protect the wires from damage, it is better to disconnect them on one side.
6. Before replacing the light bulbs themselves, it is necessary to remove their sockets, which is done by rotating the latter counterclockwise. Then the defective lamps on the panel are replaced with new ones, and the structure is assembled in the reverse order.

Malfunctions and repairs

To repair a VAZ headlight, it must be removed.

In the case of rear lights, you should replace standard sockets and chips with high-quality ones, and seal the joints with sealant. This will eliminate problems with contacts and improper operation of modules.

If the front lights of the VAZ do not work, then you need to inspect:

If problems are detected in the wiring, the faulty parts are replaced. Burnt-out light elements are removed and new ones are installed. If glass is broken, it is not difficult to re-glue it with sealant or remove the defect using special glue.

If after all the work the headlights do not shine well, then the optics need to be replaced with new ones. To do this, you need to decide on the manufacturer and purchase a set of suitable lamps.

Preparing to replace the light bulbs on the instrument panel

When access to the instrument panel is open to us, all that remains is to unscrew the two bolts on the sides of the case and disconnect the power connectors.

Upon visual inspection, it will be seen that there are a total of 13 lamp sockets on the dashboard of the VAZ-2114, of which only 8 can be replaced with analogues or LEDs.

Pay attention to the general condition of the board, as if there are signs of oxidation or corrosion, they will need to be cleaned, regardless of whether the lamp is working or not. Because in most cases, the cause of failure is not the lamp, but the cartridge, which had traces of corrosion.

Selecting lamps for the VAZ-2114 instrument panel

Today, the market offers a wide variety of lamps for the VAZ-2114 instrument panel. Among them there are both conventional incandescent lamps and LED analogues, characterized by an increased service life, quality of light output, and low energy consumption.

When purchasing new lamps, always buy several more elements, because the “legs” may break during installation.

What and how can you change the standard lights?

The easiest way is to change the appearance of your car - replacing the light fixtures with more original ones. The range of flashlights for the VAZ 2114, of course, is not particularly wide, but there is plenty to choose from. And the simple way is because all tuning comes down to “removing the standard ones, installing the purchased ones.” Let's wander around the shops and see what we can find for our VAZ 2114.

Osvar flashlights are the most popular option among car enthusiasts. They are relatively inexpensive and finding them is not a problem. The only thing is that the manufacturer uses ordinary light bulbs in it, but if desired, you can replace them with LED ones yourself. Although for most car owners this is not relevant.

We'll finish our shopping trip here, although there are still many miracles there. Just watch a short video about a flashlight with red turn signals and move on to the next point.

How to remove tail lights

It's time to figure out how to remove the stock lights to install new ones. To work, you will need an 8 socket wrench with an extension and a Phillips screwdriver. We open the trunk door, use a Phillips screwdriver to dismantle part of the upholstery so that, by bending it, you can gain access to the entire rear part of the lamp.

The upholstery is attached to the body using self-tapping screws

We find 4 nuts around the perimeter of the light fixture and unscrew them with a wrench

The lamp is secured with four nuts

Carefully remove the connector by pulling it towards the central axle of the car. We don’t swing it, we just pull it, trying not to twist it!

Removing the power supply

Pull the light from the outside of the car toward you and remove it.

Now the lamp can be removed

We install the new light fixture in the reverse order.

Manufacturers of lamps for VAZ 2114

Since lamps with an H4 socket are used in headlights of many models from different manufacturers, all manufacturers of car lamps produce such lamps. Among them are the following companies:

A world-famous Dutch company, known for its low prices and good quality products;
A German company with a long history and rich technological experience;
Narva. This is another manufacturer from Germany, known for the quality and durability of its products;
Bosh. Another German company that does not need any special introduction;
Company based in Hong Kong and Germany. Produces a wide range of reliable lighting equipment.

The above list can be continued for a long time. Today, a big name of a manufacturer is not a guarantee of high quality and reliability. There are a lot of fakes on the market, which are not only cheap, but also completely inconsistent with the original. Therefore, it is better to make a choice based not on the name, but on the characteristics of the light bulbs.

Burnt out light bulbs In order to understand why the fog lights failed, you need to know a little about how the electrical equipment of the car as a whole works, as well as the connection diagram for this unit in the general electrical circuit. Ask, I'm in touch!

Other causes of malfunction

If the fuse is OK, then the reason may be as follows:

Burnout of the track in the mounting block. In this case, you need to pull out the fuse and measure the voltage at its seat. One of the two available contacts must receive current.
Bulbs burn out. Sometimes, when there is a short circuit in the circuit, both bulbs can burn out at once. If this happens, then you need to not only replace them with new ones, but also be sure to find out the cause of the burnout.
Limit mechanism malfunction. This mechanism is located on the pedal assembly and when you press the brake pedal, it closes the circuit. You can check it by closing the circuit directly.
Lack of mass (breakage or oxidation of contacts). Each tail light has its own mass, which is usually fed to the lower headlight mounting bolt. It is necessary to unscrew both masses, clean the contact and carefully screw them back.
Circuit break. Using a multimeter, measure whether voltage is supplied to certain sections of the circuit.
Oxidation of contacts in lamp sockets. This malfunction occurs quite rarely, since there is a very small probability of oxidation of two cartridges at once.

Causes of breakdowns

The most common reasons for node failure:

the narrowest point in the entire structure is the elastic board;
in second place, banal burnout or mechanical damage to light bulbs;
the third reason is a problem with the fuse or relay;
oxidation of contacts;
broken wiring.

First of all, it makes sense to check those elements that do not require removing the entire headlight (for example, fuses, relays). Then check the quality of the connections, the presence of oxidation and the voltage supply level to the illuminator. The last step is to disassemble the taillight, remove and inspect the board.

What to do if the VAZ reverse light does not work

There are times when the light fails and stops lighting up after we have engaged reverse gear. This creates discomfort for the driver when reversing, and also stops informing other road users of your intentions. Therefore, after detecting a malfunction, it is necessary to urgently repair the electrical circuit of the reversing light.

First of all, always check the condition of the fuse. The mounting block can be installed either in the engine compartment or under the instrument panel. In any case, it must be opened and the condition of the fuse assessed. As for the number under which the protective device is located, reference books regarding the electrical equipment of your car will help you here. If the fuse is blown, do not replace it immediately. First, find the short circuit and fix it. To find the location of the short circuit, it is necessary to check the length of the entire wire route. However, if the fuse is intact, then move on to the next step.

Now the performance of the lamp is checked. It is possible that the light bulb has burnt out. To check it, you can use a standard tester, which includes a regular 12-volt battery. Connect it to the lamp contacts and check its operation. If the lamp does not light up, it means it is burnt out and needs to be replaced. However, if the lamps light up, it means that the problem is not in them at all and further diagnostics need to be carried out.

The third in line is a device called a “frog”. The fact is that finding it is not as easy as it seems at first glance. This is due to the fact that it is usually located in the lower part of the car, in particular on the gearbox. During the inspection process, it is necessary to check the contact connections and, if they are dirty (and this is what happens in most cases), clean them. If this does not help in solving the problem, then the fault must be looked for in the car’s ignition switch.

The fact is that the reverse light circuit passes through the car's ignition switch. Disassemble the lock housing and check the condition of the contacts that are responsible for turning on the reversing light. As a rule, in addition to the flashlight, consumers whose power is supplied through the ignition switch also do not work. These may be a heater fan, etc.

Open your car's electrical diagram and note the color of the wires that should supply power to the reverse light. Checking the electrical wiring begins with checking the power to the lamp. Set the tester to 12 volts and place the probes on the terminals at the rear of the car. In this case, reverse gear must be engaged and the ignition must be turned on. If the output voltage is zero, further testing is carried out on the “frog”. If there is power on it, then most likely the wire leading from the “frog” to the reversing light is damaged. If there is also no power, check the mounting block. Power should appear near these two elements. Based on the values obtained, find the faulty wire and replace it.

Components of rear optics

Many people are not satisfied with the standard optical equipment, because the previous VAZ 2109 body model was identical. The optical elements are easily removed and you can improve them with your own hands. But before we begin to consider tuning the headlights, we should consider the elements of the rear optics separately.

The taillights are presented in the form of a headlamp unit (that is, with several components). The rear headlight unit includes: side lights (they always light up when the lights are on), brake lights (when you press the brake pedal they start to light up, warning the car behind you) and turn signals. Fog lights and reversing lights are installed separately from this unit.

Modernization of standard lights

Now it’s time to start tuning the rear lights of the VAZ 2110. The easiest option to improve the appearance of the car is to replace the standard lights with, for example, Osvar sticks.

Rear LED lights for VAZ 2110 “stick” type

This is not difficult to do. We go to the store, buy them, remove the standard ones (see section “Removing block headlights”), and put the purchased ones in their place. As a rule, there is no need to make any modifications to the connectors or solder connections. Moreover, the “sticks” from the 112 model will fit perfectly on the VAZ 2110. The result will be something like this:

“Sticks” installed instead of the standard rear lights of the VAZ 2110

But we don’t look for easy ways, especially if we like to do things with our own hands and according to our own ideas. You can modify and modify the standard taillights, but to do this you will have to disassemble them.

How to take them apart

According to the designers' idea, the rear lights of the VAZ 2110 are non-separable - the glass is tightly nailed to the headlight body. Maybe with some creepy solvent like dichloroethane or using ultrasonic or microwave welding. But we will still try to disassemble the device, and in such a way that it can be assembled afterwards.

To work, we will need the headlight itself, a knife that we don’t mind, and a gas stove or any other burner.

Since glass cannot be removed by any other methods, we will literally cut it off. We remove the board with the light bulbs from the device. We heat the knife and begin to slowly cut off the glass around the perimeter.

Cutting off the rear light glass of a VAZ 2110 with a hot knife

We cut through on three sides - on the side of the side lamp and on the sides. We don’t touch the top side, because there the glass overlaps with the lantern body, and it won’t be possible to cut it off neatly.

The glass is placed on top of the device body

Having made several passes with a knife, we begin to disconnect it at the top

Insert the knife as shown in the photo below and gently rock it, trying to tear the glass away from the body at the gluing site

Removing the glass at the top of the headlight

After the glass comes off on top, there will be two more places that hold it. They are marked with arrows in the photo below. We do the same: we insert a knife between the glass and the body in the place where it still holds, and tear it off with light rocking.

Peeling off of glass in the area of the reflector

If everything is cut well, the glass can be easily removed.
