Why do Priora headlights sweat?

The most common problem with the optics of domestic cars is moisture getting inside. The headlight sweats due to loss of sealing of the unit. The back cover has lost its tight fit relative to the surface of the case. To fix the problem, it is better to remove it entirely. Open all existing plugs and dry thoroughly in a warm, dry room. Seal the gaps between the covers and the body (use different types of seals, silicones, sealants). Some car enthusiasts advise spraying a small amount of alcohol inside. After drying, reassemble and install on board your car.

Sometimes difficulties may arise when paying with Visa/MasterCard bank cards. The most common of them:

What tools are needed to remove headlights on a Priora?

The process of removing the headlight unit on a VAZ-2170 is not complicated, and for all modifications of this car model it is identical. In order to correctly perform the dismantling procedure for the purpose of subsequent repair or replacement of the front lights, you will need to first prepare the following tool:

The key is "10". For convenience, it is better to use a head with a ratchet.
A Phillips screwdriver (preferably several screwdrivers with different tip diameters) for unscrewing self-tapping screws and mounting bolts.
A slotted screwdriver with a long shaft (preferably at least 20 cm). It is needed to disconnect the bumper from the body part. You can use a screwdriver with a shorter shaft length, but in this case the likelihood of damaging the paintwork on the bumper or car body increases.

To carry out work, the car does not need to be placed on an inspection hole or jacked up. For safety reasons, it is recommended to only disconnect the negative terminal from the battery, after which you can begin performing the planned manipulations.

This is interesting! Many people are wondering how to remove the headlights on a Priora without removing the bumper. This is almost impossible to do, since it is under the bumper that the fastening elements of the device are located. However, it is not necessary to completely remove the bumper, especially if the headlight is removed only from one side.

Headlight breakdowns

There are several different typical failures of Priora headlights, such as:

Fogging;
Cracked protective glass;
Damage or burnout of the reflector;
Broken headlight mount;
Polishing, etc.

Let's look at each of the reasons.

Fogging

Over time, almost every prior driver is faced with the problem of sweating headlights on a Priora. This is due to the fact that the tightness of the headlight is compromised due to aging of the sealant or loose sealing of the protective rubber covers on the rear side of the headlight.

This problem can be eliminated by dismantling the headlight and gluing the glass, as well as replacing the rubber covers.

Cracked protective glass

When operating a car, it is exposed to various types of influences, both mechanical and thermal, as a result of which damage to the headlights themselves is possible. For example, in the event of an accident, the protective glass of the headlight may break, or if the power of the lamps is incorrectly selected, the glass may melt.

This problem can be resolved by removing the headlight and replacing the glass with a new one. The cost of glass starts from 200 rubles per piece.

Burnout and damage to the reflector

Over time, with intensive use, the headlight reflector can lose its reflective properties or even burn out, which will worsen the luminous flux emitted by the headlight. Also, in the event of an accident, the reflector mounts may break.

The problem is eliminated by replacing the headlight or replacing the reflector, depending on the nature of the breakdown.

Broken headlight mount

This problem occurs in most cases due to traffic accidents. In this case, this problem can be eliminated by gluing the headlight mounts or replacing it with a new headlight.

Polishing

After a run of 100 thousand km. On a Priora, quite often the headlights begin to become cloudy and yellow, which leads to their unsightly appearance and ages the car. In this case, you can restore the headlights using regular polishing.

As you can see, for all reasons for headlight breakdowns, they must be dismantled.

Below are step-by-step instructions for removing a headlight from a Lada Priora car.

Why film

The main reason is failure, failure to comply with the direct functions of the device. There can be many reasons for replacing a headlight. Destruction of the outer glass, loss of tightness, fogging of the lenses from the inside, wear of the reflector itself, breakage of fasteners. Replacement, repair of old contacts, installation of new types of light bulbs. To fix them, you will have to unscrew the entire module from the housing, which will make repairs and upgrades of optical devices more convenient. The block is not completely dismountable - to separate the glass from the body, it is better to heat the joint with a hair dryer until the sealant softens. Then, if possible, remove the melted sealant using improvised means. We try to separate the glass with a screwdriver, clean all the parts that have separated from the old glue, use a knife, and sandpaper. The glass is repositioned onto the sealant.

Changing the lamps in the headlight of Lada Priora

Replacing any of the lamps in the headlight unit of a Lada Priora is not at all difficult. Our step-by-step illustrated instructions will help you cope with this task. There are differences in the procedure for replacing lamps in the headlights of cars manufactured before and after 2013, which we will show.

Attention! High and low beam lamps are halogen. You should not touch their glass flasks, as fingerprints will darken when the flask is heated. You can remove dirt from the flask with a clean rag soaked in alcohol.

Replacing headlight bulbs on a car manufactured after 2013

Headlight unit for Lada Priora produced after 2013: 1 - electrical connector; 2 — headlight beam control in the vertical plane; 3 — protective cover of lamps; 4 — direction indicator lamp socket; 5 - regulator of the headlight beam in the horizontal plane.

We demonstrate the work on the left headlight unit (for clarity, the work is shown on a removed headlight unit), and change the lamps in the right headlight unit in the same way.

It is more convenient to perform operations to replace lamps in the left headlight unit with the battery removed. To replace the turn signal lamp...

...turn the lamp socket counterclockwise.

...and remove the lamp socket from the headlight housing.

Pressing the lamp, turn it all the way counterclockwise and remove the lamp from the socket.

The cartridge is sealed in the headlight housing with a gasket. If the gasket is torn or has lost elasticity, replace it with a new one.

Install the new PY21W lamp in the reverse order. In this case, two protrusions, located asymmetrically relative to the axis of the lamp, must fit into the corresponding grooves of the socket.

To replace the remaining lamps...

...turn the spring lock of the cover.

Remove the headlight cover by removing its hooks from the hinges on the headlight body.

Turn the high beam lamp with daytime running light function counterclockwise.

Step by step guide

Removing a headlight on a Priora is a simple process, but it has some features that you should familiarize yourself with in advance.

To completely detach the headlight from the existing mounts, you first need to remove the bumper. In order not to unscrew extra nuts and bolts, you can try to partially remove the bumper. After removing the bumper, you need to unscrew the fastening bolt from above, and then from below.
The third headlight mount is located on the side. To remove the headlight from this mount, you need a Phillips screwdriver.
After working with a screwdriver, all that remains is to unfasten the block and the harness from the headlight itself. To make removal easier, you can pry the lock with a thin screwdriver.
After all the above steps, you can easily pull out the headlight; nothing will hold it in place.
