Owners of cars from the domestic automobile industry have a kind of hobby for repairing, minor modernization, and tuning their combat vehicle. Such work as: removing a headlight, replacing optics with a new one, failure of lighting devices - on Priora deserve a separate discussion.
The headlights on the Priora are equipped with bulbs that burn out once a season. Lada Priora cars also have a problem: sometimes the headlights sweat, which means you need to remove them and glue them. Adjusting the headlights is not the least important in traffic safety; for this purpose, an electronic and manual corrector is provided. The factory headlight of the Priora car (Bosch and Kirzhach) underwent changes during restyling; in addition, there are many Chinese analogues, for example, black headlights. Tuning is also problematic without removing them from the mount. The price of headlights varies - starts from 5,000 rubles for a factory headlight. Read the article to the end and find out the subtleties in this matter!
Bosch headlight from Priora - looks like this
Priora car headlight: Bosch and Kirzhach - what is the difference
Let's highlight two manufacturers (not taking into account the copies of Chinese origin) that have a number of differences. Popularly known as kirzhach, bosh. There is a significant difference between them: Kirzhach - a corrugated inner surface of the well, a cast low-beam lamp reflector without a cutout, glass (plastic) attached with a refractory sealant. The marker lamp is located at the bottom of the reflector well. Two separate plugs for the rear of the optical device. The device from the Bocsh brand has a smooth inner surface of the well, a low-beam lamp reflector with a cutout, and a low-melting sealant is used to fix the glass (plastic). The size lamp is placed in the upper part of the well; one plug from the rear of the lighting unit is used. Minor differences in design, quality of parts, presence of a chrome-plated rim of the signal amplifier of the rotary element. The number of taillight design variations available to the buyer is numerous.
Types of PTF
As you know, Priora underwent several stages of restyling, where one of the main changes was the bumpers. With the change in bumpers, the design of the PTFs themselves also changed.
In the old bumper, the fog lights had a round appearance, but in the new one they already received a frame in the shape of a triangle, but still with the same round headlight.
At first glance, you might think that they are exactly the same, but this is a wrong assumption, they have different mounting brackets
Therefore, it is important to know which bumper the PTF will be installed on.
There are two manufacturers of fog lights for Priora - BOSH and Kirzhach. It is difficult to notice any particular difference in the luminous flux of these manufacturers, but there are differences in the mounting for installation in them. It will be difficult to replace “BOSH” with “Kirzhach”; for this you will have to change the PTF spacer in the SE bumper.
There are two options for installing a pre-restyle Priora and a post-restyle Priora into the bumper (SE bumper, Priora 2).
Articles and price of PTF for PRIORA 1 (pre-restayl until 2012):
PTF Priora 1
PTF "Kirzhach": 21700-3743010-52. The price starts from 700 and reaches 1000 rubles. For one headlight, sellers ask from 500 rubles.
PTF "BOSCH": 21700-3743010-54. The price starts from 1500 and reaches 2000 rubles. For one headlight you will have to pay from 1000 rubles.
Articles and price of PTF for PRIORA 2 (restyled after September 2012):
PTF Priora 2 (with frame)
PTF "Kirzhach": 21700-3743010-53. The price starts from 800 and reaches 1100 rubles. For one headlight, sellers ask from 600 rubles.
PTF "BOSCH": 21700-3743010-50. The price starts from 1000 and reaches 1500 rubles. For one headlight you will have to pay from 700 rubles.
It should also be noted that not all stores come with a mounting kit of wires and relays for the PTF. It is necessary to check with the sellers whether they have an installation kit. Otherwise, you need to purchase it in addition. Its cost is from 600 rubles.
Analogs
If for some reason the models from and “Kirzhach” do not suit you, then you should not be upset. Currently, the market is simply filled with a huge number of Chinese-made analogues.
Manufacturers from China have a large selection of high-quality PTFs that are not inferior to more expensive models.
One of the most popular Chinese PTF models are headlights that completely cover the cutout for the fog lamp, that is, they have the shape of a triangle.
Chinese PTF
If you are categorically not a supporter of Chinese production, there are a number of domestic manufacturers creating analogues of fog lights for the Lada Priora.
Why film
The main reason is failure, failure to perform the direct functions of the device. There may be a lot of reasons for replacing the headlights on a Prior. Broken outer glass, loss of tightness, fogging of lenses from the inside, deterioration of the reflector itself, breakdown of fixing elements. Replacement, repair of old contacts, installation of a new type of light bulbs. To solve them, you will have to unscrew the entire module from the car body, which will make it more convenient to repair and modernize optical devices. 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. Next, remove the melted sealant as much as possible using improvised means. We try to separate the glass with a screwdriver, clean all the separated parts from the old glue with a knife and sandpaper. The glass is seated back onto the sealant.
Useful tips
Car enthusiasts often encounter the problem of front optics fogging. This phenomenon significantly worsens the quality of lighting fixtures. Therefore, it is necessary to eliminate the cause of fogging. It's all about clogged ventilation ducts. They are behind the block. Find and clean them with a thin wire. In some cases, the problem occurs due to a crack in the headlight housing. In this case, you will have to remove the headlight and inspect it. Carefully seal any damage found with sealant. Also coat the junction of the glass and the block with a special colorless sealant.
If you decide to tune your headlights, be sure to take into account all the features of the current legislation. You should not install, for example, blue or green dimensions. When installing more powerful lamps, do not get carried away. Firstly, you will blind drivers (oncoming drivers with powerful headlights, passing ones when tuning the rear lights).
Secondly, more powerful lamps tend to be hotter, which leads to cloudy glass and damage to the reflector. As a result, the headlight will have to be replaced.
Decorative tuning of taillights is usually limited to window tinting. This makes the flashlight more solid. At the same time, be sure to pay attention to light transmittance. At night you must be clearly visible, otherwise you risk getting hit in the butt. A common modification option is to install eyelash trims on the headlights. They allow you to make the appearance of your car completely individual. Only when choosing, take into account your ideas about the design of the car.
Conclusion
. Repair of Priora is not a rare occurrence. Therefore, all owners of these machines know their design firsthand. But you can often hear the question of how to remove a headlight on a Priora. This work does not seem to be difficult, but it has its own characteristics. If you take into account all the nuances, then replacing the headlight unit will not take you more than an hour of time.
Polishing headlights on Priora
As their service life increases, sand, small stones, dirty water, and road chemicals negatively affect the light conductivity of the outer glass of lighting fixtures, and overall efficiency decreases. The solution will be restoration and polishing of the glass surface. When you decide to polish glass, thoroughly study the technical side of the process, materials, stages of work - everything affects the result. If you are not confident in your abilities, it is better to entrust the work to professionals, otherwise the result of the work done may be worse than the original result. If, nevertheless, you decide to polish the optical devices of your car, first remove the entire module, remove dirt, and protect surfaces that cannot be treated.
For polishing use:
- Abrasives;
- Sandpaper (1000 - 4000 units);
- Circles: felt, fabric, foam rubber;
- Polishing pastes.
First, a rough layer of plastic is removed with a depth equal to the depth of chips and scratches. As a result, the protective layer of varnish applied by the manufacturer will be erased, which must be restored after polishing. Applying a special varnish is a rather technically complex process. Another option is to stick a protective film, otherwise the result of your work will disappear in a couple of months. Change the sandpaper to finer sandpaper every 2 - 3 minutes. We monitor the removal of traces left by the previous number of abrasives. After each change of sandpaper, you must thoroughly wash the surface. The dried surface is ready for polishing.
Important: polish the tool used at low speeds to avoid overheating and clouding of the plastic; it will be impossible to restore this.
Using polishing wheels, we bring the glass surface to the desired shine. Polishing is often carried out due to varying degrees of wear on the vehicle's optical devices, for example, one headlight was damaged in an accident and was replaced with a new one.

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.
Danger of fogging
If the headlights sweat from the inside, the danger for the driver and pedestrians is obvious: the illumination of the road is distorted. In addition to safety issues, the defect will not allow the driver to pass inspection. According to traffic regulations, any malfunctions in the lighting system are excluded. In addition, a sweating part will lead to the following problems:
- Corrosion of the internal parts of the block.
- A halogen lamp may burst if a drop of moisture falls on its heated surface.
- The electrical wiring contacts will short out if a large amount of condensate systematically accumulates in the part.
- The appearance of the car suffers: foggy optics are simply ugly.
Today there are enough ways to dry a headlight in the garage without removing it or with dismantling and complete self-diagnosis of the glass and housing. In 70 cases out of 100, simply re-gluing the structure is enough to restore the insulation. If the unit is damaged after a strong impact, it is better to replace the optics with a new one.
How to remove a taillight on a Priora and glue vinyl
Car enthusiasts often have a desire to highlight the uniqueness of the vehicle on the road in every possible way. To achieve the goal, the owners are upgrading the taillights on the Priora. They change the color of the vinyl film glued on top and install additional LEDs. Additional modifications to the design of the light signaling system must comply with safety standards.
It will be easier to work by removing the rear light. What is not difficult:
- You need to disconnect the wiring connector going to the light on the trunk side;
- unscrew the three plastic wing nuts;
- remove the lantern;
- pull out the wires along with the rubber seal through the mounting hole.
That's it, the lantern is removed, you can put the lantern in the reverse order. Before dismantling or installing the lamp, it is recommended to disconnect the wire from the terminal. Pasting vinyl is a procedure somewhat similar to the process of tinting car windows. You need to remove dirt, wash the glass of the lantern, remove greasy stains and stains using window cleaners. Cut a piece of vinyl of the required size (with a small margin), moisten the surface of the lantern with a soap solution (without fanaticism). Glue the prepared piece of vinyl, removing the protective layer, remove air bubbles, and remove excess moisture. The remaining vinyl around the edges of the tail light can be cut off with a sharp utility knife.
Work order
- Disconnect the negative cable from the battery.
- Disconnect the two electrical connectors of the headlight unit.
- If there is a fender liner, unscrew it on the side of the bumper, usually 2-3 outer screws.
Using a 10mm wrench, unscrew the two bolts of the upper headlight mounting.
Unscrew the 2 bolts securing the decorative radiator grille.
Lifting it and sticking your fingers into the gap between the grille and the bumper, release 2 latches on each side
We unscrew the bolt of the lower fastening of the headlight unit.
Unscrew or loosen the 2 bolts of the upper bumper mounting and slightly pull the bumper towards you.
Using your fingers or a screwdriver, carefully pull the edge of the decorative trim — the “eyelash” — away from the headlight unit. In the resulting gap we see a plastic tab-latch, with the help of which the edge of the eyelash is attached to the edge of the wing.
CAREFULLY remove the tongue from engagement with the wing, without applying extra effort, it’s easy to do with your fingers!
We move the trim to the center of the car and remove it.
I HIGHLY recommend that before removing the eyelash, lubricate it along the entire arc of attachment to the bumper with silicone grease.
Using a “10” socket, unscrew the nut securing the headlight to the bracket.
Use a screwdriver to pry up the hydraulic corrector cylinder retainer, turn it and remove it from the headlight housing.
We carry out the assembly in the reverse order without using brute physical force. When installing the eyelash in place, we push its lower edge with a screwdriver.
If you work very leisurely, the entire procedure for dismantling and installing the VAZ 2110 front headlight will take 20 minutes.
Tuning optics on domestic cars is a fairly common phenomenon, due to the not-so-perfect design of cars, which includes the Lada Priora. Therefore, many try to independently change the appearance of the car.
Tuning optics is a process that seems simple only at first glance.
Many car enthusiasts who do their own tuning forget that when changing optics, they must comply with technical safety requirements and GOST standards.
The headlights illuminate a specific area of the road and are adjusted on a special stand. Customizing or using more than two additional headlights, especially when it comes to fog lights, may be illegal.
How to remove a headlight on a Priora without unscrewing the bumper
When carrying out any kind of tuning, installation, or dismantling of the main lighting fixtures, you will inevitably have to remove the entire light fixtures. Before installing the front and rear lighting devices, be sure to disconnect the wire from the terminal and the wiring harness going to the lighting unit itself. Dismantling the front bumper completely is not necessary; it will be enough to disconnect the upper part of one side from the car body. Thus, installation of front optical modules will be simpler and less labor-intensive. What tools will you need?
What tools will you need?
Headlights play an important role in the design of LADA Priora. Therefore, when removing a headlight for its subsequent replacement, it is necessary to know well the sequence of disassembly and assembly of the structure. To remove the headlight block on a Priora, many go to a service station. However, this procedure is so simple that if you have certain tools, you can handle this task yourself.
In this case, the following tools will be required for work:
- wrench 8 or 10 mm;
- ratchet;
- a screwdriver with a cross-shaped blade;
- extension.
Adjusting Priora headlights using a corrector
Adjusting the light beam is extremely important for safe, comfortable driving. If you have a suitable place and desire, you can carry out the procedure yourself at home. You will need to place the car on a flat horizontal surface at a distance of five meters from the wall to the car. Check the operation of the manual corrector located directly on the back of the block (small movable wheel). At the level of the middle of the headlights, draw a horizontal line on the wall (L. 1), approximately 65-75mm. Below we draw a line (l. 2). Two vertical lines in the middle of each headlight (l. A) (l. B), another vertical line strictly in the middle between them. There should be 1 person in the car, the tire pressure should be within normal limits and be the same everywhere. The low beam turns on, we try to adjust the light. Close one headlight tightly. We turn the corrector wheel until the horizontal and oblique beams of light intersect at the point of intersection of lines A. and B. with line L. 2. Electronic adjustment in the car interior should be zero.
Step by step guide
1. To remove the headlight on the right or left, it is advisable to first remove the front bumper. Or unscrew the part of the bumper where you will change the headlight.
To change the headlight without removing the bumper, you need to unscrew the plastic trim on the headlight. It is secured with four screws.
You also need to unscrew two screws in the area of the hood lock.
Now, when removing the headlight, you will have the opportunity to move the bumper a little to the side and unscrew the mounting screws.
2. Disconnect the headlight power plug.
Use a flat-head screwdriver to pry it in the location indicated below and pull the plug to the side.
3. Unscrew the two headlight mounting bolts.
See below for bolt locations.
4. Unscrew the Phillips screwdriver marked below.
While unscrewing the screw, hold the headlight so that it does not fall.
5. After unscrewing the screw, remove the headlight.
6. We take a new one and reassemble it, namely:
- put the headlight in place
- secure the headlight with a screw and two bolts
- connect the plug
Next, depending on the situation, if the bumper was removed, we install it. If you unscrew the covers on the headlights, install them and secure them with screws. Also, do not forget to tighten the two screws near the hood lock.
