How to Change the Dimensions Light Bulb on a VAZ 2107

Operating principle: The turn signals light up when the side lights are turned on (they work with low and high beam headlights, respectively). When you turn on one of the turn signals, one lights up, and the second begins to blink; when you turn off the turn signal, both light up again. The same story with the emergency lights, both turn signals go out completely and light up in time with the rest of the repeaters.

2 capacitors 4700uF 25volt 2 diodes IN5819 2 5-pin relays and 2 connectors for them (can be bought at any auto parts store, I personally only found them there) mother/father terminals - I only needed 4 terminals. Straight hands and at least basic skills in using a soldering iron.

And so at home I figured out how everything should be! IMPORTANT! Install the diode correctly, otherwise the circuit will not work.

According to the diagram, someone wired the capacitor to separate wires, but I soldered the capacitor and diode directly into the connector under the relay (it seemed to me more compact and easier), and I went to try it.

How to change light bulbs on a VAZ 2107

Good afternoon dear friends. Today we will deal with light in our favorite classic - “seven”. In this instruction I will try to change the VAZ 2107 light bulb in all possible places : headlights, interior, dashboard, taillights and glove compartment. Detailed videos will help prevent plastic parts from breaking and make the replacement process easier.

First of all, let's look at what kind of lamps are used in the seventh model Zhiguli car?

How to replace the lamp in the headlight unit on a VAZ 2104, VAZ 2105, VAZ 2107?

Replacing the low and high beam lamps, as well as the side lamp:

It couldn’t be easier to replace, you will first need to open the hood and after that you can immediately begin replacing, to do this, twist the lid and immediately remove it (see small photo), when it is gone you will have excellent access to two lamps at once , namely to the halogen lamp and to the side lamp, in order to get the halogen lamp, you will need to disconnect the wire block from it (Indicated by the red arrow) at the beginning, and then pry off the retainer (It is metal, if you take a closer look you will immediately see it, it is like a bracket goes) and remove it from the lamp and after which you can pull out the lamp itself, simply by pulling it, to do this, install the new lamp in the reverse order, now let’s say a little about the side light lamp, it is even easier to change, you just need to grab the socket with your hand (Indicated by a blue arrow) and after that, by pulling the socket you will need to pull out the lamp, and when you have it in your hands with the socket, you will have to press the lamp (Push it into the inside of the socket) and turn it counterclockwise and it will come out of the socket .

Replacing the turn signal lamp:

On the new classic (this is the one we are disassembling), turn lamps of type A12-21-3 (P21W) are installed, when purchasing them, be sure to indicate the markings, otherwise they will not suit you, they are changed in the same way, under the headlight unit you will need to crawl up from the back side and there you will find a protruding cartridge, next to it there is also a hydraulic headlight leveler installed (It is indicated by a red arrow, it was installed exclusively on cars of approximately 20005, perhaps even on early models it was present), so this cartridge you will need to turn it counterclockwise and remove it together with the lamp from the headlight unit, and then turn the lamp itself in it (It turns in the same way as the side light lamp, that is, you will need to press on it and turn it counterclockwise, see small photo, this lamp is inserted into the socket in the reverse order).

Additional video: A detailed video with instructions for replacing halogen lamps can be found below:

Which lamps to install for low and high beam and the principle of their installation

From the factory, VAZ 2107 cars are equipped with halogen lamps of the AKG 12-60+55 type with an H4 socket. This lamp has two spirals, through which the high and low beam headlights are switched.

In addition to the main lighting, the front headlight units additionally have two more types of lamps:

A12-4-1 T4W1 are side lights.
Hazard warning lamps.

All these lamps are powered from the vehicle's on-board network with a voltage of 12V. Standard lighting lamps do not have the highest brightness, so the question of replacing the low-high beam headlight lamp remains relevant. A nice advantage is that to improve the low and high beam on the seven, you need to replace only one element in each headlight unit. Since low-light devices are usually included from the factory, the rational question remains about replacing the headlight in the unit.

4300 Kelvin is the most optimal color temperature for a lamp, which will guarantee good visibility both at night and in bad weather.

If you visit an auto store, there are a lot of options for lamps with H4 socket. And each manufacturer indicates improved lighting from the standard rating as a percentage. The most popular manufacturers are Osram and Philips. Lamps from these manufacturers are distinguished by their quality, reliability and durability. When choosing, you need to pay attention to the technical parameters of the products, or more precisely:

Power.
Voltage.
Colorful temperature.
Light flow.

Many people recommend replacing low and high beam light bulbs with similar devices, but only with high power. Standard low and high beam lamps have a power of 55 W, but there are models on sale with a rating of 100 W. Such devices will most likely shine brighter, but take into account the load that falls on the generator. The luminous flux depends on the power, which ranges from 900 to 3000 Lumin. The higher the luminous flux, the brighter the headlights shine, which means the better the illumination of the road surface. When purchasing new lighting lamps, one more parameter should also be taken into account - color temperature.

Most people think that the higher the color temperature, the better, but this is not true at all. Color temperature shows what color the headlights shine. This color comes in yellow, white and blue. In rainy weather and during fog, it is better to use yellowish lamps, which have a color temperature of up to 3000-3200 Kelvin. Lamps with 5000K in this case will practically not illuminate the road. In dry weather, high-quality lighting is provided through the use of lamps with a color temperature from 3200 to 5000 Kelvin.

Dimensions of VAZ 2104, 2105, 2107 do not light up

On VAZ 2104, 2105, 2107 cars there are 4 side lights (dimensions): one in the front headlights and one in the rear lights.
Failure of any of them to work is a fairly common occurrence. Let's look at the reasons for this malfunction - “why the lights on VAZ 2104, 2105, 2107 cars don’t light up.”

Symptoms of a malfunction: “VAZ 2104, 2105, 2107 dimensions do not light up”

One dimension, two dimensions (front or rear, right or left side, crosswise) or all of them may not work.

Causes of the malfunction “dimensions of VAZ 2104, 2105, 2107 cars do not light up”

The side light bulb is burnt out

The most common reason. One light bulb, or several at once, can suddenly burn out. In some cases, it may be impossible to visually identify a burnt-out light bulb. Therefore, we replace the burnt out one with a known good one. You can use a similar one from a nearby headlight.

The contacts of the light bulb in the socket have oxidized

We rotate the light bulb in the socket several times to remove the oxidized layer and restore contact. In the future, you can clean everything with sandpaper.

Lost ground to headlights or taillights

Loss of contact with ground leads to failure of not only one size, but also the entire headlight or rear light.

The “negative” wires of the front headlights and rear lights with side lights on VAZ 2104, 2105, 2107 cars are attached to the car body. It is necessary to clean the mounting location to ensure good contact with ground. Usually the negative wire is the black wire from the headlight connection block, attached to the body next to the headlight or tail light.

Broken contact in the headlight or rear light connection block

Either it has oxidized or the block is not attached tightly. In such a situation, either one side lamp or the entire headlight may not light. We put on and take off the pad several times to restore contact.

The track in the rear light board has crumbled

During long-term use of the vehicle, or if a low-quality part is installed, the track to the side light lamp socket in the rear lights may shed (burn out).

Contact is broken in the connecting blocks of the relay and fuse mounting block

Check the pads Ш12 (Х12), Ш13 (Х13), Ш9 (Х9), Ш6 (Х6) of the mounting block. Or Ш2 (Х2) - terminals 1 and 3 if all the dimensions do not light up.

The fuse in the mounting block has blown

If fuse No. 14 (F14) is blown, the side lights in the front left headlight and rear right headlight will not light. If No. 15 (F15), then the marker in the front right headlight and rear left lamp will not light up, that is, crosswise.

The fuses must be replaced with serviceable ones and the cause of their burnout must be determined in the future. There may be a short circuit in the electrical circuit.

The external lighting switch on the instrument panel is faulty

All dimensions will not light up. Remove the switch and remove the wire block from it. Connect the leads of the black and yellow-red wires with a piece of wire. Turn on the ignition. If the dimensions light up, the switch is faulty and must be replaced.

“Open” in the electrical circuit connecting the side lights

It is necessary to check the sections of the circuit responsible for the non-burning light using the connection diagram. Read more: “How to find an open circuit in a car’s electrical circuit.”

Notes and additions

— For a mounting block with finger fuses, the designation of the pads is “Ш” and the fuse is “№”. For mounting block with blade fuses “X” and “F”.

— On VAZ 2104, 2105, 2107 cars, A12-4-1 (T4W) side light bulbs are used in the headlights and rear lights.

What to do

The cigarette lighter is not directly responsible for the operation of any component of the car, but its operation negatively affects the comfort of the driver and passengers of the car. If the device is damaged, it must be repaired or replaced.

Where is the fuse for the cigarette lighter?

The VAZ-2107 cigarette lighter fuse is located in the fuse and relay mounting block. In VAZ cars this block is located in the engine compartment on the passenger side. To gain access to the fuse, you must remove the transparent plastic cover of the mounting block. The cigarette lighter fuse is marked F 6 and is rated for a current of 10 amperes.

How to disassemble the cigarette lighter

The socket and removable cartridge are inexpensive parts that can easily be found at any auto store. If they stop working, it is impractical to repair them; a complete replacement is performed. To do this, disconnect the ground bus from the battery and disassemble the socket fixed on the front panel of the VAZ-2106, performing the following procedure:

remove the heater cartridge from the socket;
we pick up the panel on which the clock and cigarette lighter are located and drag it with a flat-head screwdriver until the latches click;
carefully remove the dashboard; there may be short wires behind it;
remove the dashboard connection terminals;
unscrew the locking nut;
remove the outer casing along with the backlight;
remove the internal cigarette lighter socket.

Domestic cars have also changed a lot with the introduction of Euro-3 standards. Lada Kalina, Lada Priora and even Lada Niva 4x4 are now much more difficult to maintain and repair.

Why is it necessary to change the backlight bulbs? The standard dashboard of the VAZ 2107 is quite laconic and gives the driver only the most basic information about the car and its driving characteristics. Ask, I'm in touch!

Removing and replacing side lamps in the rear light

The replacement process involves sequentially performing the following steps:

the trunk opens;
to gain access to the headlight, remove the carpet covering it from the inside;
the board contacts are disconnected;
the bar is removed (all the rear light bulbs are on it).

A special latch is provided to secure the board. To remove the board, you need to unclip it.

Replaced with a new side light bulb (the side light bulbs on the VAZ 2114 have the smallest size, so it will be difficult to confuse them); The board with the new light bulb is installed in its original place.

If replacing the light bulb in the front/rear marker does not produce results and the side lights still do not work, then you need to check the appropriate fuses or look for other causes of the malfunction.

VAZ-2107 fuses

F1 (10 A) - lamps in the reversing lights, heater (heater electric motor), heated rear window . If your reverse light does not work, check this fuse, then the lamp itself, and it may also be the reverse light switch (on the rocker or gearbox). If the heater does not work, but this fuse is intact, the fault may be in the wiring or in the heater motor itself, as well as in the switch on the panel.

F2 (10 A) - electric motors for windshield wipers, headlight cleaners, windshield washer pumps and headlights . If the wipers or washer do not work, check this fuse and connector 1 for the relay. A relay or jumper must be installed in it. It could also be the wiring or the wiper motor itself.

Conclusion

As you can see, the instructions for carrying out the work are extremely simple, you can easily cope with this task. And if you still have questions, then watch the video in this article, it shows the process clearly.

Location of lamps in the rear light sections: 1 — brake signal lamp A12-21-3 (P21W); 2 — reverse light lamp A12-21-3 (P21W); 3 — side light lamp A12-4-1 (T4W); 4 — fog lamp A12-21-3 (P21W); 5 — turn signal lamp A12-21-3 (P21W)

American dimensions in the VAZ 2107

Here is an image of the diagram on which the work was carried out.

And so at home I figured out how everything should be! IMPORTANT! Install the diode correctly, otherwise the circuit will not work.

Approximately threw some wires to check functionality

It turned out that all the turn signals light up along with the dimensions (on the left side because that’s where the work was actually done). I thought about what could be there, and turned to a guy who was already putting together such a circuit for himself. It turned out that the main thing is to disconnect the + that goes to the turn signal from the turn signal itself and run it through the relay (according to the diagram).

Dimensions in the turn signals of the VAZ 2104

I decided it wouldn’t be a bad idea to add some dimensions to the turn signals.

1. Holder for a baseless light bulb from a VAZ 2107 turn signal repeater (which is on the wing). 2. TWO baseless light bulbs (with antennae), each 5W - you can supply more power. 3. Wires and females.

Don't be afraid to drill, nothing bad will happen - I checked. There is only one “but” - when you start drilling a hole for the light bulb holder, be sure to remove the 21-watt turn signal bulb with a socket from the headlight unit, otherwise you may hit it with the drill and then you will have glass in the headlight unit. As for the wiring, I think you’ll figure it out - there’s nothing complicated... Be sure to insulate the mothers that are plugged into the light bulb holder - just in case. Sorry that I can’t post a photo with the dimensions turned on, I can’t set up the camera so that it shows how the turn signals are shining normally, I just took a photo from my phone (there’s a terrible glare and the colors are smeared), the other day I’ll take a photo with a normal camera and post the photo, no no doubt, it looks very nice, such a soft light in an orange block, it looks nice. Some people also do it with a two-pin light bulb, but I abandoned this idea - there you have to saw the CARTRIDGE, drill it, stretch some wires there, solder the contacts. Then this whole structure is not easily accessible, and if the light bulb burns out, it is difficult to change. There is one contact that needs to be unsoldered, in short, it’s difficult!

I have the same ones, I leave them on the sidelights, everyone says that the headlights were not turned off, the battery is good, right?))))

Same crap.”that Acoma is good?”.exactly

They look beautiful. In my photo the dimensions actually look bluish =)

Think about it, they don’t fit in mine, I also bought one of these)))) I put one of them in the interior for additional lighting and in the glove compartment, now it’s as bright as day)))))

It turned out great, just describe the process in more detail? I plan too, but there is no diagram anywhere. Tell me please?

what the hell is the process, I took out a regular light bulb from the dimensions, installed a diode, that’s it! 1 minute business.

very useful information, probably no one knew how to change a light bulb on a Lada. Also show me how to replace the air filter.

I've met dudes who can't even install a spare tire (they don't know how).

It's like the neighbor is on)))

They look really cool! They'll just burn out soon. ... You need to immediately install a voltage stabilizer on them. Look on Ali or eBay. It's worth a penny.

They won’t burn out, I’ve been driving for a long time and there are no problems.

And I have a month and a month for a replacement, a month and a replacement. Here I connected the DRL through a stabilizer.

what kind of stabilizer is this? show me a link at least

It’s a hat for me) The yellow ones look somehow more menacing or something))))

You are a MEEEEEGAATUNER! Well done Ida!

When will such vehicles be banned? It seems like 25 years already, but it feels like 16.

I agree, I don’t even know what to say...

How to change a headlight bulb without removing the optics?

There are two ways to access the headlight to replace the Camry 40 size: from the wheel arch side and from the bumper side.

How to change a headlight bulb without removing the optics?

In the first case, this task is much easier to implement:

turn the steering wheel in the direction opposite to the location of the headlight (if we change the bulbs in the left front headlight, then turn the wheel to the right, and vice versa);
remove the wheel arch protection clamps and move it to the side by hand;
take the base of the lamp and turn it 15 degrees counterclockwise, pulling it out of the socket;
press the latch of the lamp socket connector with your finger and remove it completely from the headlight along with the socket.

How to change a headlight bulb without removing the optics?
If the lamp burns out, it must be replaced with a new one. To replace a Toyota Camry v40 light bulb, you will need model 2825 (W5W). If there is a need to replace the high beam headlight bulb, you should purchase model HB3 (9005) in advance. The low beam requires an H11 bulb, and the turn signal requires a 7440A.

It is not difficult to determine where exactly the headlight bulb on a Toyota Camry 40 is located: it is located slightly above the turn signal bulb. You can recognize the side light bulb by the black color of the socket. You can remove it in the same way as described above: take it by the base and turn it 1/4 turn counterclockwise, disconnecting the cartridge and the power supply. A new light bulb is installed using the same principle - you need to insert it into the socket and return it to its original place in the headlight housing, turning the base 15 degrees clockwise. In the same way, you can replace the high and low beam lamps, as well as the turn signal bulb.

Workflow Description

Preparation

If the low beam on a VAZ 2107 has disappeared and as a result of the check it is found that the lamps are to blame, then you should purchase new products. This model uses the AKG12-60+55 modification with an H4 socket; this marking indicates that the product has a power of 60 W for high beam and 55 W for low beam; you can purchase such an element at any store that deals in spare parts for domestic cars.

The working process

A huge advantage of the work is that, unlike modern models, access to the headlights is not limited in any way; this greatly simplifies doing the work yourself and allows you to achieve the best result, since you are in complete control of the process.

Important! To prevent the battery contacts from oxidizing during operation, they should be protected with lubricant; if there is no special composition, then ordinary solid oil would be an excellent option - it will protect lead from oxidation and ensure excellent contact over a long period of time.

If there is no low beam on a VAZ 2107 on only one side, then you can replace one lamp, although experts advise installing two at once, since the light may vary. One way or another, the work begins with any headlight that is convenient for you, first wipe the inside, since most often it is dirty and debris can get inside later.
First of all, you need to remove the plug, which covers the installation site of the light bulb and serves as protection against moisture and dirt getting inside the housing. This element is removed very simply: grab it and turn it counterclockwise until it comes off, usually this happens in half or even a quarter of a turn.

Advice! When disconnecting a block, it is better to immediately check how well the wires fit, since long-term use may cause the connection to break.

Next you will see a spring clamp that presses the lamp to the body and ensures its immobility during operation. To release it, you need to press the element on top and carefully move it to the side, everything is very simple and very quickly, when you see this knot, you can easily figure out how this is done.

Illuminated license plate VAZ-2107

To illuminate the license plate in VAZ-2107 cars, AC12–5-1 (C5W) type lamps are used. The license plate illumination is turned on by the external lighting switch - the first button on the left under the gear shift lever. To replace the license plate light bulb, you need to lift the trunk lid, use a Phillips screwdriver to unscrew the two screws holding the backlight light and remove the lampshade from the light housing, then replace the light bulb.

The rear lights of the VAZ-2107 car are a key element of the lighting system and perform a number of functions related to the safety of the vehicle. Proper operation and timely maintenance will extend the life of the rear lights and ensure comfortable and accident-free driving. You can give your car a more modern appearance by tuning lighting fixtures, including taillights.
