Why the dimensions of the VAZ 2110 do not light up and how to change the light bulb in them

According to the current traffic rules, drivers are required to use side lights when operating a vehicle at night. In parallel with this, the dashboard is illuminated. Breakdowns of this kind may indicate various problems.

Repair

As already said, it is prohibited to drive a car in the evening or at night if the side lights are not on, so we will look for the cause and then eliminate it.
If you are sure that the paths through which electricity passes are in good condition, the first thing to do is check to see if the lamps have burned out. And if they need a replacement, do it.

For the head lamp, the replacement procedure is as follows:

• Open the hood;
• We disconnect the battery, or even better, remove it. After all, we are talking about electricity, which is unsafe;
• From the engine compartment, holding the lamp with your hand, disconnect the wires directly going to the light bulb from the block;
• Remove the rubber cover;
• We move the latch to the side, disengaging the spring from the hook;
• We take out the size bulb;
• We replace it with a new one and put everything back together.

When the replacement is made, we check whether the head lamps are on.

Light bulbs in the rear dimensions on a VAZ 2110 are installed as follows:

• We de-energize the car;
• From the trunk (open) side, remove the contact part of the rear light with lamps. To do this, you need to release the latches;
• Remove the headlight bulb and replace it with a new one.

Do not forget that you cannot touch the halogen lamp with your bare hands. Replacement must be done with gloves. The fact is that dark spots will appear where you touch the light bulb. In addition, it has been proven that such a light bulb burns out much faster.

Replacing the turn signal lamp:

1) In this case, everything is very simple, first of all, you will need to understand where this lamp is located, so that it is more clear to you, see the photo below:

Note! As you already understood, in the photo the arrow indicates only the chamber or, as it is also called, the lamp base, but the lamp itself is not visible, so in order for you to be able to see it and easily remove and change it, grab this base part with your hand and then turn it it clockwise by a small degree, and thereby remove it from there!

2) When the base together with the lamp itself is removed, grab the light bulb with your hand (Indicated by the arrow) and then slightly press on it and turn it counterclockwise and remove this lamp.

Note! When you install a new lamp, make sure that it fits into the grooves, one of them is indicated by an arrow in the photo, and when it fits in there all the way, turn it so that it locks, and after fixing, check that it doesn’t fly out of there!

Important! When you buy a new lamp for either low beam or high beam, be sure to look at the markings that are placed on the base of the bulb, because cars may have bulbs for low beam, for example H1, and for high beam, for example H4, and therefore if If you also install an H1 lamp on the high beam, then both headlight units will shine differently! (Different lamps can only be installed by the previous owner of your car, because from the factory, as mentioned a little earlier, the same H1 bulbs were installed on both the high and low beams)

By the way, before changing the lamp, check the fuse that goes to it; perhaps it has simply blown and because of this the lamp does not work!

Rear lights on VAZ 2114 do not light up

When both side light bulbs on one side of a car, left or right, fail, the reason is always clear. The fact is that the safety block contains one fuse responsible for each side. It is necessary to replace the corresponding fuse and the problem will be eliminated.

At the same time, there is a constant discussion on the Internet on forums about whether the front lights on a VAZ 2114 don’t light up or why the rear lights on a VAZ 2114 don’t light up. Quite a lot of opinions and different experiences are expressed. If we summarize all this, we can draw the following conclusions.

The side lights of the rear hemisphere are located in the rear light block, in which a generally recognized disease is constant oxidation and corrosion of the contact groups. For preventive purposes, it is necessary to constantly monitor this board.

The same is possible on the contacts of the front headlights. Nevertheless, from practice there are cases when, when checking the performance of light bulbs, it turned out that they burned out on both sides at the same time (maybe one by one, but the driver did not notice this in time). At the same time, the amateur master checks everything, just not the light bulbs, claiming that the probability of simultaneous failure of the lamps is absolutely minimal. But auto electricians first check the lamp and contact.

Like all not new cars that have been removed from the production line a long time ago, second-generation Samaras are subject to minor breakdowns over the years, which, among other things, affect lighting devices. For this reason, many drivers are faced with the fact that the rear lights on their VAZ 2114 do not light up, which can lead to dangerous situations on the road if the problem is not solved in time.

Tips for motorists

To figure out why the low and high beam headlights on a VAZ-2110 car do not work, you need to know what you need to pay attention to when trying to fix this problem. These cars are equipped with a headlight unit where the direction indicators are located, as well as two options for high and low beam headlights

These options differ in that in one case there are two single-filament lamps in the headlight unit (separately for the low beam headlights and separately for the high beam), and in the other case there is one, two-filament lamp. Therefore, there are two plugs in the electrical wiring for connecting the corresponding set of headlights.

Also involved in the operation of the electrical circuit of external lighting are: the external lighting switch, which is located in the cabin on the front panel; The headlight switch is located on the steering column; The low beam relay, the high beam relay and 4 fuses are located in the mounting block, and the high beam warning lamp is located on the instrument panel. When the high beams are turned on, all 4 filaments in the exterior lighting lamps should light up.

If one or more threads of the headlight lamps do not light, then, without getting out of the car, check the integrity of the fuses located in the mounting block under numbers F2, F3, F12, F13. Fuse F2 protects the low beam filament in the left headlight, F3 protects the high beam filament in the left headlight, F12 protects the low beam filament in the right headlight, F13 protects the high beam filament in the right headlight and the high beam indicator lamp.

Purpose

The front lights are called head lamps; they are located in the headlight unit in front of the car on both sides. They are the outermost ones in the lighting system, and owe their name to the fact that they show the width of the car to oncoming vehicles.

Various options for side lights and daytime running lights

The rear lights are intended for exactly the same mission—so that you can be seen by those driving behind you. This is especially true when overtaking; you don’t want someone to hit your “swallow” without seeing its real size.

Tuned tail lights

Hence the important advice: if it suddenly happens that you need to go at all costs and you discover that the light bulb in the left side light has burned out, replacing it with a new one is impossible due to the lack of one, don’t be lazy and move it from the right side. And we will tell you how to do this.

Both headlights do not work

In the case when two headlights fail at once (and both the high and low beams do not work), the switch responsible for the external lighting is first inspected. It is easy to test the circuit using a test light or a regular tester. One wire is applied to ground, and the other to the 30th terminal. If this is not the problem, then there will be 12 volts on it (even with the ignition off). After turning the key, voltage will also flow to terminal 10. Such diagnostic results allow us to say with complete confidence that the light does not come on precisely because of the switch.

If there is no voltage at the terminals mentioned above, then most likely the wires have broken or the contact has been lost.

Adjustment

Once a year, the low beam on the VAZ 2110 should be adjusted. This procedure is necessary in order to increase the lighting efficiency and also to prevent dazzling oncoming drivers.

Below we will take a closer look at how to adjust the low beam headlights:

• You need to find a flat area with a wall that will serve as a screen.
• The car should be placed at a distance of five meters from the screen. A passenger must sit in front. You can also put a load weighing 75 kilograms in the car.
• On the screen you need to draw a horizontal line at 600 mm, as well as a second line 75 mm below the first.
• Then you need to draw three vertical lines - the two outer lines should correspond to the centers of the headlights, and the middle one should be located in the middle between them.
• The headlight hydraulic adjustment handle should be moved to the position corresponding to the minimum load.
• One of the headlights must be covered with cardboard or a sheet of plywood.

• Then the light beam is adjusted according to the diagram. Adjustment is carried out with screws with plastic heads, which are located on the back side of the headlights. They rotate the optical element around the horizontal and vertical axis.
• Next, you need to adjust the second headlight in the same way.

Here, in fact, is all the information on how to adjust the low beam headlights.

How to and how not to check potential

Despite the slightly different processes, the essence of the problem is the same. It can be eliminated by stripping the frog, or by replacing the stop switch.

The rear lights on the VAZ 2110 do not light up, what could be the problem? In this article we will look at the main types of faults in the electrical equipment of this car, and at the same time we will learn how to replace the rear marker lamps of a VAZ 2110.

Replacing the rear light and its elements

Tail light bulbs for VAZ 2110
Replacement of the rear light occurs according to the following scheme:

• disconnect the wire from the negative terminal of the battery;
• Having opened the trunk lid, unscrew the screws that secure the rear trunk trim (2 pcs);
• having pressed the rear upholstery, bend the side upholstery, which will allow access to the rear light connection parts;
• disconnect the flashlight and the block with wires;
• loosen the nuts that hold the rear light and remove the washers;
• remove the lamp from the car;
• release the flashlight body from the holder and lamps by squeezing the claws of the clamp;
• install a new lamp, performing the steps in reverse order;
• tuck the side trim under the seal.

Replacing parking lamps and tail lights

Rear fog lamps in VAZ 2110

When changing a vehicle's headlight bulb, you must perform the following steps:

• remove the lamp together with the socket from the optical element;
• remove the lamp from the socket.

Replacement of light bulbs in the rear lights is carried out according to the following algorithm:

• lamps need to be changed from the luggage compartment side;
• remove the contact part along with the lamps (it is held in the lamp body using latches).

Side turn signals

If the side turn signal lighting malfunctions, do the following:

• move the side turn signal forward, pulling its rear part;
• remove the above part;
• disconnect the lamp socket;
• replace the lamp by sliding the cover;
• If you need to replace the cartridge, you must disconnect the wires.

Car license plate light

License plate light bulb VAZ 2110

If the lights that illuminate the car number do not light, the actions should be as follows:

• Unscrew the two self-tapping screws with a Phillips screwdriver and remove the lampshade;
• replace the lamp, first removing the transparent cover from above.

Stop light and reverse

You can remove and install the brake light and reverse light according to the following scheme:

• remove the flashlight board by squeezing the protrusions;
• remove the lamp by pressing down and turning counterclockwise;
• disconnect the wiring connector;
• unscrew the nuts (two outermost and two middle) of the decorative trim using a tool of the appropriate size;
• remove the cover;
• Unscrew the two nuts that secure the lamp and remove it.

Fog lamp

To properly replace the light source in the fog lamp, you do not need to remove it.

So:

• disconnect the negative wire (its terminal) from the battery terminal;
• remove the rubber protective cap from the rim on the back side of the reflector;
• remove the tip of the “negative” wire from the reflector output;
• remove the lamp mounting bracket in the form of a spring, squeezing it with your fingers;
• remove the lamp from the hole located in the reflector;
• disconnect the tip of the “positive” wire from the lamp wire.

You can assemble the lamp by following the reverse procedure.

Replacing the entire fog light

If you need to replace the entire fog light, the steps are as follows:

• disconnect the block of its wires from the harness;
• unscrew the two self-tapping screws securing the cladding using a Phillips screwdriver;
• remove the lining;
• remove the headlight;
• Install the new headlight in reverse order.

Where to look for the fuse

All that remains is to figure out the mounting block. Let's try to find it, check the fuses, and at the same time dismantle it to get to the connectors located on the back of the block. The mounting block is located to the left of the driver under the dashboard and is closed with a protective cover. Press the lock button and fold back the cover along with the mounting block.

Removing the cover of the mounting block in the VAZ 2110

Before us are rows of fuses (inserts) and relays. We are interested in inserts F1 and F11, which are responsible for the left and right sides, respectively. Both fuses are 5 A.

So we have learned how to troubleshoot rear parking lights in a VAZ 2110. Now, because of such a small thing, it is not necessary to contact a specialist whose services cost a lot of money.

Installation process

Ready-made kits usually contain an installation diagram for the VAZ 2110. However, you should understand that adjustments may need to be made during the process.

Before starting installation work, you need to make sure there is space for them. If it is not provided for in your model, then you should think about it and decide on it yourself. It is recommended to do this through the front bumper.

The installation procedure is as follows:

1. At the very beginning we lay out the wiring for the fog lights. It is laid in the same way as the main wiring - along the wing, through the left side (under the hood).
2. After this, you need to supply power to the button, which will need to be placed on the dashboard. According to the standard, power is supplied from the fuse on the right dimensions. However, you can go the other way by connecting power to the light switch. You can take power from the output to the dimensions, but this method should be used last, since the battery may discharge prematurely if you forget to turn off the PTF.
3. We connect the plug together with the headlights. If the lights do not light up, then there was some error in the circuit. Each component of the network should be carefully checked. Often the problem is in the relay. To identify it, you need to make sure there is a click; if there is none, the relay should be completely changed.

It is quite simple to check that the headlights are set correctly and are working correctly: drive out onto the road and turn on the headlights.

If the light is directed slightly downward, but illuminates both the road surface and the side of the road equally well, everything is installed correctly.

LED lamps - why they are better

LED bulbs

Many foreign cars these days are equipped with LED lamps instead of the usual incandescent lamps. Such lamps are installed in rear lights as brake lights, side lights, and turn indicators. This is no accident. This light gives the driver behind him additional time to make a decision and perform a maneuver. Advantages of LED lamps:

• longer service life, higher light output;
• The LED lights up many times faster than a conventional lamp. This is an additional 5-6 m at a speed of 100 km/h.
• Incandescent lamps fail earlier most often due to strong vibration, especially considering the quality of Russian roads. In terms of this indicator, LEDs are much more durable and vibration is not a problem for them.

LEDs in the rear lights of the VAZ 2110

Here is a video review that will be useful to watch. This shows the operation of the LED lights at the rear.

replacing headlights You need to remember the rules that must be followed when resorting to doing the work yourself:

• carry out a thorough diagnosis;
• follow advice and recommendations for repairs;
• use high-quality factory-produced parts;
• check the operation of the machine systems after repair.

But there will be no problems if you do everything as the instructions advise. Today in stores the price of tail light bulbs, as well as the headlight kit itself, is not so expensive. So it’s important to try to replace it yourself.

Wiring test for non-working brake lights (ground test)

Let's look at the basic diagram: the brake lights and the reversing lamps have a common ground pin. If contact with this pin is broken, the reverse lamps will not turn on. Well, brake lights too.

Connector for connecting “internal” lights

On the left side there is a connector through which the wiring goes to the fifth door. The connector has black and red wires. Check the voltages on them. Most often the ground on the black wire does not ring. But maybe the connector itself needs to be cleaned.

If the “plus” does not come to the red wire, we check the “frog”. It's simple here:

1. Disconnect the connector with two wires from the limit switch;
2. Using 17mm wrenches, loosen the two nuts: holding the lower nut, rotate the upper one;

Removing the frog brake

By the way, one of the connector terminals receives a voltage of “12 Volts”. Check it!

Connection diagram

Before we start troubleshooting, let's look at the connection diagram for external lighting devices on the VAZ 2110.

Electrical diagram of external lighting devices on the VAZ 2110

The numbers on the diagram indicate:

1 – front side light lamps; 2 – mounting block; 3 – external lighting switch; 4 – ignition switch; 5 – indicator lamp for external lighting; 6 – tail light lamps; 7 – brake light lamps; 8 – license plate illumination; 9 – dashboard lighting switch; 10 – reverse alarm switch; 11 – brake indicator switch; 12 – on-board control system unit; 13 – reverse indicators; K1 – lamp control relay.

How does this scheme work? After turning on the external light switch 3, the voltage from the battery is supplied to the mounting block 2, then through fuses F1, F11 and the control relay it is supplied to the side lamps. In this case, F1 is responsible for the left side of the car (side), F11 for the right. Relay K1 turns on the warning light on the instrument panel if any of the side light lamps stops lighting.

Causes

The side lights can be turned on either with the ignition off or on. In the event that at least one side light bulb does not light, relay K1, located in the mounting block, will turn on a warning light on the instrument panel to warn the driver about this malfunction.

In this case, the driver, with the side lights on, needs to get out of the car and see which of the four lamps is not on. If all the size lamps are on, then you also need to check the brake light lamps, since relay K1 is also activated for these lamps, and if at least one of them burns out, the warning lamp on the instrument panel will light up. After all, brake lights also ensure traffic safety.

The electrical circuit of the side lights is protected by two fuses. F11 (5A), works on the side lamps on the starboard side, and F1(5A), on the starboard lamps, it also protects:

• license plate lamps;
• instrument panel lighting lamps;
• side light indicator lamp;
• trunk light lamp.

Therefore, if fuse F1 blows, troubleshooting will have to be done in all of the above electrical circuits.

If all the side light lamps do not light up, then first of all you need to check the Ш2 connector block in the mounting block (it is located horizontally), since it is through contact No. 7 of this plug connector that power is supplied to the side light lamps. A possible reason for the dimensions not turning on could be the three-position switch located on the front panel. The serviceability of the switch can be checked by ringing it with a tester and, if necessary, replaced.

The most common lighting problems in the VAZ-2112

All faults that arise are divided into two categories:

• mechanical;
• electric.

During vehicle operation, external lighting devices are exposed to various negative influences. They are often rendered unusable:

• stones flying out from under the wheels of cars driving in front;
• sand;
• branches of bushes, etc.

Thus, the first thing to do if you were unable to turn on the headlights is to check their integrity. The simplest option in this case is to replace the entire unit that has become unusable. Removing it is not difficult. In addition, the headlight can be repaired

It is important to pay attention to restoring its tightness - ignoring this requirement leads to rapid failure of the entire unit, since moisture that gets inside contributes to:

• constant fogging of lenses;
• oxidation of contacts;
• rapid wear of fasteners.

The most common electrical failure is a light bulb burnout - this is usually indicated by the failure of only one of the headlights.
There are no special options here - you will have to change it to a working one. If the lamps are good, then you should suspect the following faults:

• the fuse link has burned out;
• the electromagnetic switching relay has deteriorated;
• one of the circuit contacts has come off (or oxidized);
• there is a break in the wires;
• there is no mass.

Replacing the headlight bulb

Replacing the size lamp in the rear lights of a VAZ 2110 is quite simple. First of all, we dismantle the board with the lamps in the same way as we did when troubleshooting: we bend the upholstery flap, squeeze the two latches and remove the board from the lamp (see above). In this case, the power supply does not need to be disconnected - the length of the wires is quite enough to replace light bulbs. Before us are three lamps - one small and two large. We need the first one.

The side light bulb in the rear light is the smallest

We press it down slightly and, turning it counterclockwise, remove it from the socket. In place of the burnt one, we install a new one, also drowning and turning, but clockwise. Turn on the side light and check the result of the work. If everything is in order, we install the board in place, making sure that both latches work, and close the canopy with the upholstery flap.

Device

The head lamps (front dimensions) are part of the headlight unit. Rear dimensions are part of the rear light of the VAZ 2110, being one of its sections. Nearby there is a rear fog lamp, a taillight, a turn signal, a reflector, a brake signal and a marker.

Fog lights will not only improve the appearance of your car, but will also improve safety. You can read about connecting fog lights here: https://vazweb.ru/desyatka/osveshchenie/kak-podklyuchit-protivotumanki.html

PRICES OF COMPONENTS

There is also a separate section for prices for all the parts that may be needed when repairing this part of the car, because if the side lights on a VAZ 2114 or the fuses have blown, they will still have to be replaced with new ones. In any case, all the components are quite cheap, all we might need:

• Marker lamp;
• Fuse;
• Power button;
• A whole fuse block.

Today, an ordinary white light bulb costs up to 30 rubles; of course, the price depends on the individual pricing policy of a particular seller. Individual fuses can be selected for up to 50 rubles, unless, of course, you want to install a higher quality option. Button, if you look for exactly the same one as the original one, you will have to pay up to 300 rubles. In some situations, more serious problems may arise and you will have to change the entire unit, this is quite an expensive proposition, together with all the wires it will cost up to 1000 rubles.

Common optical problems and how to fix them

Problems with automotive optics can be divided into mechanical and electrical problems.

During operation, automotive optics are subject to mechanical stress. It can be damaged by small and large stones, sand, branches of bushes, etc. The easiest way to eliminate damage is to replace the headlight or flashlight. To do this, you need to know how to remove the headlight on a VAZ 2112. But you can restore the optics with your own hands.

The following mechanical problems are possible:

• cracks and scratches on the glass surface;
• damage to fasteners;
• violation of tightness.

Scratches and cracks can be eliminated by grinding and polishing. Destroyed fasteners are replaced with new ones. If the seal is broken, the optics sweat, so it needs to be restored, as visibility deteriorates and the contacts oxidize. For serious mechanical damage in the form of chips, tools are selected depending on the degree of damage.

Before repairing, you should study the material used to make the optics. Depending on this, you can use cold or conventional welding.

When it comes to electrical problems, the most common cause is burnt out light bulbs. In this case, they need to be replaced.

If the reason is not the light bulbs, then the following malfunctions are possible:

• fuse is blown;
• The switching relay does not work;
• contacts are oxidized or burnt;
• switch is faulty;
• The integrity of the wiring is broken; ground is missing.

Replacing blown fuses

If the brake lights of the VAZ 2112 do not light up, the turn signals do not work, or the light has completely disappeared, you need to sequentially check all the elements that are part of the lighting system, including the fuse box and power supplies.

Replacing turn signal lights

Replacing turn signals on a VAZ 2110
But if you need to replace the turn signal for some other reason, then you need to read these instructions:

• First, you should disconnect the block with wires from the turn signal, and then from the headlight (see Repairing a VAZ 2110 headlight with your own hands);
• Next, press the latch, then turn the hydraulic corrector and remove it from the headlight housing;
• Then you need to unscrew the nuts that secure the headlight and turn signal;
• After this they can be easily removed;
• You need to unscrew the two fastening screws, which will allow you to disconnect the turn signal from the headlight;
• Install the headlights and turn signal in the reverse order. Make sure they are properly secured.

Replacing the turn on a VAZ 2110

So, let's look at the algorithm for how to replace the turn signal on a VAZ 2110:

• Unscrew the decorative panel, which is secured with 2 bolts. Take the 8 key and start turning it counterclockwise to quickly and easily complete the task;
• When the decorative panel is dismantled, it is necessary to begin dismantling the trim. A 10mm wrench will help with this. If the fasteners are completely unscrewed, you can remove the bar;

Replacing the front turn signal of a VAZ 2110

• When you gain access to the remaining fasteners, you need to unscrew the 2 bolts securing the bumper. Due to this, freedom of action will appear, thanks to which you can easily detach the eyelash. To do this, you need to remove the latches attached to the wing;
• When the headlight is removed, you need to unscrew the 2 mounting screws, which will allow you to remove the turn signal;
• Everything is put together in reverse order.

Replacing the front turn signals of a VAZ 2110

The most inconvenient part about replacing headlights is screwing in the bolt located under the bumper. The easiest way to do this is with a socket wrench.

Replacing the turn signal handle

Turn signal handle

If the turn signal handle is broken, then the following problem appears: when the steering wheel is turned to the left, the turn signal lights up and indicates that the driver wants to turn. But during the turn itself it does not snap off. After that, it continues to burn and does not turn off. This leads to the driver feeling awkward: he is driving in a straight line, but the turn signal indicates that the car wants to turn.

So, replacing the turn signal handle is accompanied by the following manipulations:

First you need to remove the cover under the steering wheel, which is held on by 2 bolts.

• You need to replace the old handle with a new one. It is as easy to insert as it is to remove. Therefore, there will be no problems with this.
• Now we need to check how it works. To do this, you need to start the car and switch the turn signal knob. If it is working correctly, the turn signal will automatically turn on and off when you change the position of the turn signal knob.
• You can install it in place without difficulty. After this the lid is screwed on.

How to replace side light bulbs on Renault Logan: video and photos

Any modern car has a wide variety of lighting bulbs. Some of them illuminate the interior of the car, while others provide visibility on the road. One of these important types of lamps is the side lighting lamp, thanks to which at night or in conditions of limited visibility you can easily distinguish the dimensions of the car.

Replacing the front light bulb on a Renault Logan

Many Renault Logan owners, when the light bulbs fail, go to a service station to replace them. But the problem can be solved on your own. Changing a parking light bulb is as easy as changing any other bulb. Moreover, if you have an alarm connected to these lights, the bulbs may burn out more often than usual.

Since each such light element has its own expiration date, no one is immune from the fact that one of them fails along the way and will have to be urgently replaced. In this article we will talk in detail about how to change the side light bulb on a Renault Logan.

Front headlight

Block headlight (auto edition)

In Logan, block headlights are installed, and therefore in one design there are low beam and high beam lamps and direction indicators. When replacing any of the lamps, it is not necessary to disconnect the battery. The fog lights are located separately from the headlight unit at the bottom of the bumper; more information about replacing the lamp in them is here.

The process of replacing marker lamps in detail

Some owners remove the block lamp completely, but this is a lot of unnecessary steps. My hand can easily fit into the gap, even where the battery is!

1. Use the head to remove the headlight unit.
2. Then you need to disconnect the negative wire from the headlight.
3. Remove the entire front bumper.
4. Disconnect the headlight range control cable.
5. To move the headlight to the side you need to unscrew three screws.

To replace a side lighting element, no additional equipment is required; the process will not take more than 5 minutes.

1. In order to replace the lamp, you need to open the hood and feel on the headlight unit for the side lamp socket, which is located just below the headlight lamp.
2. Finding the lamp body by touch is not difficult. We took out the socket and tried to remove the burnt out lamp.
3. Next, turn the cartridge to the left and remove it from the headlight housing. The lamp has been removed and we are preparing to install a new parking light lamp.
4. To replace the lamp, just pull it. It is only necessary to remove the light bulb from the housing while wearing cotton gloves.

What should you know about car optics?

A modern car has a large number of lighting fixtures.

All of them are combined into a single lighting system that performs the following functions:

• illuminates the road and side of the road;
• signals the driver's intentions;
• informs about the dimensions of the car;
• illuminates the interior, engine compartment, luggage compartment, etc.

All devices are divided into external and internal lighting. The external ones include front headlights, turn signals, side lights, rear lights, license plate lights, fog lights on the VAZ 2112. The headlights on the VAZ 2112 are a block that contains several lighting devices: low and high beam lamps, side lights, DRL.

Turning and side lights are signaling lights. The former warn about the driver’s intentions to perform a particular maneuver, the latter inform about the vehicle’s dimensions. They are built into the front headlight and rear lights. A special feature of signaling devices is that they shine yellow and synchronously.

Requirements for installing daytime running lights on cars have appeared recently. They have an intense light, their function is to improve the visibility of the car when driving in the daytime. In their absence, this function is performed by low beam or PTF. Fog lights on the VAZ 2112 are designed for driving during bad weather when visibility is poor. They are installed in pairs at the front. The back may be missing.

The rear lights of the VAZ 2112, like the headlights, are block headlights. These include the exterior light, turn lights and side lights.

Tail lights VAZ 2111

The rear optics include a brake light, a luggage compartment light and a license plate light.

Interior lighting consists of: interior lights, engine compartment lights, door lights, trunk lights, glove compartment lights, and dashboard lights.

Features of choice

Automotive optics is constantly evolving and at this stage the following types can be named:

Halogen lamps resemble conventional incandescent lamps in their design: a glass bulb contains electrodes with a tungsten filament. Due to the high heating temperature, halogen lamps quickly fail as the tungsten filament burns out. The main advantage of these lamps is their low cost.

Xenon lamps shine much brighter than halogen lamps. At the same time, they do not have a filament, so they are not afraid of shocks and vibrations. Xenon is durable and economical. The disadvantage is that both bulbs have to be changed, since during operation the brightness decreases, so the light of the lamps will be different. In addition, xenon optics require the installation of an ignition unit.

LED optics have bright light, economical energy consumption, long service life, and do not heat up. Another advantage is the ability to install LEDs of different colors. The disadvantage is low efficiency. For high-quality lighting you need a large number of LEDs (video author - Pro Sport).

Laser optics uses laser LEDs, which are characterized by high power and small size; their light is very bright. The disadvantage of laser lighting elements is the complexity of control.

When choosing optics, you should be guided by the following factors:

When choosing lamps, you need to take into account the parameters (base type, markings, etc.) that are indicated in the instruction manual. You cannot install xenon on a VAZ 2112 in halogen optics

When installing xenon, it is necessary to change the optics to the appropriate lens. You should pay attention to the manufacturer and buy lighting fixtures from well-known companies. The seller should ask for a certificate stating that the product can be used in European countries.

Lighting must meet the requirements.
