Despite the fact that the Lada Priora has a completely modern appearance by today's standards, not all owners of this car are satisfied with its factory design. And in order to improve the appearance and add originality, many carry out external tuning (aka facelift). Only some elements of the car body are subject to changes, including optical instruments. Tuning headlights on a Priora is a fairly popular operation for changing the appearance of a domestic car. Let's consider the topic in more detail.
Painting the headlight mask on a Priora
Without a doubt, tuning headlights significantly changes the appearance of a car, which is why tinting headlights is very popular.
You can tint the head optics with film or paint. Today we will tell you and show you how to paint the headlight mask on a Lada Priora with your own hands. How to paint headlight masks?
Using regular paint in a can is not entirely correct. During operation, the temperature inside the headlight becomes high (especially when xenon is installed), which can negatively affect the paint (it will burn out).
Therefore, to paint the inner surface of the headlight, it is better to use high-temperature (heat-resistant) paint (price 350-400 rubles). You can buy it at the same store that sells regular aerosol paint for body painting. You can get black headlights on a Lada Priora using matte black paint color. In addition to paint, you will need black sealant (for example, ABRO) and masking tape.
The first step is to remove the headlights. Then you need to disassemble the Priora headlights, and this process depends on the manufacturer.
Do-it-yourself painting of Priora headlight masks
To remove the headlight mask, you need to unscrew 3 screws with a Phillips screwdriver. Remove the additional turn signal reflector (3 Phillips head screws).
1. You can remove chrome from the reflector with sandpaper (zero sand) or with mole pipe cleaner (by soaking the mask in it for a while).
2. Cover the reflector with 2-3 layers of aerosol primer for plastic. The soil dries in about an hour.
3. Next, apply paint, layer by layer (4-5 layers).
4. When the last layer is completely dry, reassemble the headlight in the reverse order.
We clean the headlight glass from old sealant and degrease it. Next, apply black sealant in a continuous strip along the entire contour of the headlight. If the headlight unit is not sealed, it will fog up over time. After the sealant has completely hardened, you can turn on the headlights.
If you still have the strength, you can install angel eyes on the Lada Priora with your own hands - detailed instructions are here. Result:
It is worth noting that the brightness of the headlights does not deteriorate with this method of tinting; the reflector remains intact. If you also paint over the headlight reflectors, then traffic police and maintenance inspectors are unlikely to like this modification. Remember that fully tinted headlights are a compromise between style and road safety.
Making chameleon headlights
Want to make "chameleon lights"? Then use a special tint. You can purchase ready-made versions of the film without any problems at any automotive supply store. Their cost varies depending on the manufacturing company. The most budget-friendly one is from a Chinese manufacturer.
The film material is heated with a hairdryer and applied to a pre-wetted headlight. Smooth it well so that there are no folds or bubbles left. As a result of such tuning of the Priora headlights, the photo of which you see above, the car acquires very stylish optics.
Optics VAZ Priora
One of the most important elements for the safe movement of a car, in conditions of limited visibility at night, are headlights and rear lights. At the same time, their shape makes the car’s exterior more stylish and elegant, allowing it to stand out among the stream of monotonous cars. You can achieve such results by installing new “tuned” optical elements, which our online store offers in a wide range.
New optics for the VAZ Priora - for a more dynamic and sporty appearance
Replacing the front or rear optical elements of a car can occur due to the desire of the car owner to transform the appearance of the car, or due to their mechanical damage. This can happen as a result of stones falling from under the wheels of other road users, or a minor collision with various obstacles. At the same time, it is not advisable to replace optics with factory parts, due to their monotonous design and high cost, but it is better to opt for those options that are presented on the website. This solution will give the car a more sporty look, and will also allow you to take advantage of the following advantages of this product:
- significantly increase the quality of the light flux and improve visibility at night, especially on models of head optics with xenon lighting elements;
- the offered headlights have high strength indicators, which allows them to maintain their original characteristics for a long time;
- Thanks to additional elements of LED lamps installed in the lamp housing, the car will become more visible in conditions of limited visibility.
How to profitably purchase tuned front and rear lights for a car
All the optics we present for Priora, which can be purchased at an affordable price, will ideally fit this car model and will not require additional installation costs. You can perform this procedure yourself or contact any service center. You can submit a request for headlights by filling out the proposed order form or by calling the company employees at the numbers listed in the contacts section. We are waiting for your calls, and also hope for mutually beneficial and fruitful cooperation!
Headlight tinting
Tuning "Priora" rear lighting and front optics using tinting is carried out in several ways - using special paint or a tinting membrane. What color film to choose is decided solely by the car enthusiast. The most common and classic color is black. However, when tinting, a film that matches the color of the car body can be used. It is important to remember that tinting headlights leads to a deterioration in the light output and reduced visibility on the road in the evening and at night.
White Priora hatchback - advantages, disadvantages of color and car tuning
White Beauty, Belyana, Snow White, White Hare - all kinds of affectionate nicknames do the drivers give to their white Priora hatchback. Indeed, this car always looks stylish and elegant. It is chosen by both women and men. This is exactly the car model that white suits very well.
In recent years, white cars have become increasingly popular among drivers. Not the least of them is the white Priora hatchback, pictures of which are posted by many users of social networks and forums. No matter how strange it may be, the white color of the car is one of the most practical.
Causes of bad light
If your headlights aren't bright enough, it's most likely due to one of the following:
- damage to contacts;
- the lampshade is clogged or damaged;
- in a faulty or old light bulb;
- in cloudy glass;
- due to improper lighting adjustment.
If the low beam headlights are dim, but you have no complaints about the performance of the high beam ones, then most likely you should look for the cause in the outgoing contacts, incorrect adjustment or a bad light bulb. Since if there were problems with the lampshade, any light would not work well.
If one headlight burns brighter than the other, it means that the fault must be looked for in its device.
Now that we've looked at the possible reasons why your headlights are dim, it's time to talk about how to make your headlights shine brighter.
Pros and cons of a white car
Advantages of painting a Priora white hatchback car:
• Of course, a chic appearance! White color can visually increase volume. Therefore, clean and sparkling in the sun, as if from a picture, the white Priora hatchback always has an impressive and at the same time elegant appearance.
• In dry weather, dust and dirt are much less visible on it than on cars with a dark color. Pollution becomes noticeable only from a close distance, but from a distance the car appears clean. Accordingly, cleaning costs are reduced.
Flaws
• The white Priora hatchback (photo below) is difficult to see in heavy snow and fog, as it blends in with the environment. In this case, good side lights and driving in compliance with all traffic rules can help.
• In wet and dirty weather it gets dirty quickly, just like cars of any other color. However, on a white car, dirt is clearly visible and striking. Therefore, in the autumn-spring slushy season you will have to wash it more often.
• Drops of bitumen that will inevitably fall on the lower part of the body if you drive along a newly repaired road are best wiped off as quickly as possible. A slight delay and the rye-colored spots will remain on the surface of the Priora hatchback white car forever.
What is the fine?
For all violations of the Basic Provisions of the Traffic Rules, with the exception of exceptions when a special norm of stricter liability is applied, the Administrative Code provides for one general punishment - a fine of 500 rubles or a warning under Part 1 of Article 12.5.
That is, for the color of your headlights other than white, red or orange, you will most likely be given a fine (a warning is issued very rarely). But only if we are not talking about the color red. For this reason, a special norm is applied.
Part 3 of the same article already provides for deprivation of rights for a period of six months to a year for red lights in the front of the car. Also, confiscation of lighting devices (lamps) will be applied.
Above we wrote about responsibility for driving a car with violations of the color of lamps or headlights in general. But besides this, punishment is also provided for the installation of such lighting devices - Part 1 of Article 12.4 of the Code of Administrative Offenses provides for another fine of 3,000 rubles for this. And it applies regardless of the nature of the driving violation. That is, two punishments can be imposed: the first - for management, the second - for the fact of installation itself.
But the installation still needs to be proven, because the presumption of innocence and the constitutional possibility not to testify against oneself do not oblige the driver to admit that he himself installed the red lights, even if he is the owner of the car. Therefore, punishments under this standard are rarely imposed in practice in 2022.
Please note that instead of a fine of 500 rubles, you may be deprived of your license. This has been practiced for a long time - the courts have argued that if the work schedule is violated, then Part 3 of Article 12.5 applies. But the Supreme Court put an end to this dispute, pointing out the illegality of this. However, even in 2022, there are cases of deprivation of rights for inappropriate color of lights.
Hatchback body features
The white Priora hatchback body (photo below) also has some features that I would like to mention separately. The advantages of this design:
• Capacious trunk. The white Priora hatchback (pictured is a rear view) allows you to increase it even more if you fold the rear seat flush with the floor. In addition, by opening the rear door slightly, you can transport fairly large items.
• As you can see in the photo, the white Priora hatchback has a stylish and slightly sporty look, aimed at young buyers. The rear part of the body, made with bevels, especially emphasizes this design. The appearance of the car greatly benefits due to this, despite the fact that the useful volume of the luggage compartment is reduced.
• Judging by the reviews of passengers, sitting in the back seat in a car with a hatchback body is much more convenient.
• The interior cabin is separated from the luggage compartment by a partition, which makes it much more comfortable.
• Having a compact design and streamlined shape, the white Priora (pictured), with a hatchback body, is suitable for maneuvers both in the city and on the highway. It behaves well when overtaking and changing gears.
The hatchback body design also has a disadvantage - the passenger compartment quickly cools down when the rear door is open in the cold season.

Tuning
As shown in the photo, the white Lada Priora hatchback is one of the cars that most successfully accepts the modernization of its appearance. Even a simple replacement of standard bumpers with restyled ones and tinting the windows gives the car individuality. However, the fantasies of car owners do not end there.
• Various types of body kits are used in the color of the Priora (pictured) hatchback white. Tuning bumpers and radiator grilles, installing a spoiler sometimes make a car completely unrecognizable, aggressive and impressive.
• Photo of a white Priora hatchback, tuning it in a retro style, can often be seen on the streets. Chrome-plated hubcaps in the style of the 50s of the last century and white rims on the wheels leave no one indifferent.
• The Lada Priora hatchback (pictured) is white, with red lighting at the bottom and looks very original.
• High-quality LEDs and eyelashes installed on a white Priora hatchback (photo below) will make the headlight tuning complete and the appearance seamless.
Do-it-yourself Lada Priora tuning: interior, engine, optics - AutoExpert
The first Lada Priora rolled off the assembly line in 2007. A couple of years later, this car became very popular among domestic car enthusiasts, mainly because of its affordable price. At the same time, many car owners strive to give their Priora individuality. Make it look more solid and more expensive. Tuning helps them with this. Let's figure out what this procedure is.
Engine change
The Priora engine provides ample opportunities for tuning. Most often, car enthusiasts bore the cylinder block and install shortened pistons in the engine. Such pistons, in turn, require replacing the crankshaft.
As a result, the characteristics of the engine are completely changed, and its power can increase by 35%. But there is a minus: fuel consumption will also increase. Therefore, not all car enthusiasts decide to undertake such radical engine tuning.
Many people limit themselves to installing mechanical compressors in the engine, which can increase engine power by 10–15%.
Cylinder boring is one of the most labor-intensive engine tuning options.
Another inexpensive way to increase the dynamic parameters of the Priora is to work with a carburetor. In this device, the jets and acceleration pump are changed (most often, parts manufactured by BOSCH are installed in place of standard spare parts). Then fine adjustment of the fuel level is performed. As a result, the car accelerates twice as fast.
Chassis
When it comes to changes in the chassis, the first thing drivers do is remove the standard brake booster and replace it with a vacuum one, always with two membranes. This doubles the reliability of the brakes.
Stiffer springs and ceramic-coated discs are installed in the clutch basket, and a lightweight flywheel is installed on the crankshaft.
This measure significantly reduces the vehicle acceleration time without premature wear of the clutch and gearbox.
The rear wheels of Prioras are often equipped with disc brakes from “tens”
Finally, the rear drum brakes are removed from the Priora and replaced with disc brakes from the VAZ 2110. The drum brake design is no longer used almost anywhere, since it is considered obsolete. Installing a disc system on the rear wheels increases braking reliability and requires virtually no modification.
Sport car
Very often, cars of the VAZ family are chosen as racing cars, especially for amateur competitions. One of the most suitable for these purposes is the white Priora hatchback. Pictures of sponsors advertising, riders' names and serial numbers are visible from afar on a white background.
Even the basic version of the car, the white Priora hatchback, features a sporty look. Tuning (photo below) will give it an aggressive and brutal look. Of course, a lot of work is required to upgrade the standard equipment to the racing version. But, as shown in the photo, the white Priora hatchback allows you to do it even in a garage, especially since there are no problems with purchasing components and spare parts for the Lada.
