At night, visibility, and, consequently, the safety of driving a car, primarily depends on the condition of the headlights. If during the day the driver only needs vision to monitor the road situation, then at night or when driving through tunnels it is impossible to do without artificial lighting of the road. Driving at night with non-functioning lamps or missing headlights is prohibited by traffic rules. In many countries, regulations require that lights be turned on even when driving during the day. Knowing how to change a low beam light bulb on a Kalina allows the driver to fix the problem right on the road, without wasting time on a trip to the service station.

Installation process
If you buy a lamp for bright light in low-beam headlights of a foreign manufacturer, you can simply follow the instructions. Everything is written out very clearly in it, so changing the light bulb in the low beam headlight is not difficult.
Once you have the bulb and the headlight has been removed, you can begin the installation process. Initially, you need to remove the special rubber casing. This can be done with a regular screwdriver. This will make it easier to pry off the edges of the rubber base. The casing is located on the inside of the headlight.
After removing the casing, you can begin to dismantle the old lamp for light. First, remove the terminals from the lamp. At this stage, it is important to remember their original location. Next, you should remove the special metal clips that held the old light bulb. It's very easy to remove. This can be done with virtually no improvised means.
Installing a new light bulb
Only after this can you remove the old lighting fixture and begin installing a new one. Please note that old burnt out lamps must be disposed of.
Before you start screwing the new device into the headlight, you need to make sure that the contacts are intact and only then insert the new bulb.
Please note that while screwing in the new element, do not allow your hands to touch the glass part. This is due to the fact that this way the lamp will fail (burn out) much faster. If this happens, you should wipe the glass part with alcohol and wait until it dries completely.
At the final stage, it is important to correctly install the terminals without mixing up the polarity (plus and minus). After this, you can install the rubber cover back and test the device.

How the work is carried out
Let's figure out how to replace the low beam light bulb on Kalina with your own hands, the process is quite simple and, by and large, does not require any special devices, you only need your hands. But still, the tool may be needed at the preparation stage.
Preparation
It is important to ensure a comfortable and safe working environment, so remember the following:
- The work can be done anywhere - even in the yard near the house, but it is advisable to go to the garage. There you can not be afraid of precipitation and, if necessary, find this or that tool.
- First of all, the hood is opened and the terminal is removed from the battery. We remind you of this in every review. Therefore, make it a habit to de-energize the system when working with electrical equipment to prevent short circuits and electric shock.
- Further preparation depends on what engine is installed in your car, you need to provide access to the rear of the headlight housing, and for this you need to disconnect the expansion tank on the left, and the options on the right may be different. Therefore, be guided by the situation and decide for yourself. What needs to be removed and what should not be touched.
Without easy access, work is much more difficult to carry out
Replacement process
Replacing the low beam bulb on Kalina is as follows:
First of all, you need to remove the rubber plug, which protects the interior of the headlight from moisture and dirt; this is also very important, so do not damage this element. It's very simple: grab one of the three protrusions and pull away from the body, the element will come off quite easily.
The plug is located behind the low beam headlight on the rear side
Next, you need to remove the two contacts and move them to the side; this is easier to do while the low beam light bulb on Kalina is still fixed
It is important to remove the elements carefully so as not to damage the insulation or break the wires, otherwise you will have to carry out repair work as well. After the wires are disconnected, you can proceed to the next step - releasing the latch, which presses the base to the reflector and holds the element in a certain position. To do this, you need to disengage the clamp from both sides by lightly pressing it and moving it away from the base.

When and why to change
The factory light is adjusted during the production process, at the time of passing technical inspection. In the new car, the modules shine with maximum power and at the peak of their capabilities. The need for replacement is determined by the following main criteria:
- Reducing light intensity.
- The appearance of yellowness and cloudy areas on the cut-off strip.
- Complete shutdown of one of the light modules.
- Increased brightness after the suspension hits a pothole or has mechanical contact with the headlight.
Kalina lamps installed on the conveyor last no more than 4 years. Cloudiness, deterioration of visibility and the appearance of unlit areas appear after the filament burns and the bulb smokes. In this case, the light does not pass through the dirt well and does not reach the desired areas of the reflector. There are yellow spots of light and darkened areas on the road.
The thickness of the light module filament is calculated by production engineers. When struck, the lamp shakes and the spiral becomes thinner. An external examination reveals a large increase in beam power. This indicates that the halogen lamp will soon fail, since the thin filament heats up above the set temperature and begins to melt. The service life of a damaged part ranges from one minute to several hours.

Replacement Instructions
The procedure is performed in any convenient place - in an open street area or in a warm garage with good lighting, if we are talking about the cold season. No special tools or equipment are needed. To remove the low beam lamp, carry out a number of preparatory operations:
- Disconnect the battery from the on-board network by removing the terminal with the “—” (minus) sign.
- Clear access to the headlights from the engine compartment.
- Lighting devices are hidden in plastic headlight housings, covered with caps at the back. Once you reach the box, remove the round protective cover.
Usually, parts of the power unit - the air filter housing, pipes and coolant expansion tank, and various plastic linings - prevent you from reaching the light bulbs by hand. In some car models, access is blocked by the battery itself, so it will have to be removed.
The engine compartment of a modern car is filled extremely tightly with blocks and assemblies. When you reach the back of the headlight with your hand, you will not be able to look into the hole at the same time - you need to work by touch. Hence the recommendation: take a photograph of the light bulb mounting assembly with a smartphone equipped with a camera.
Step-by-step instructions for replacing a light bulb in most passenger cars look like this:
- After removing the rubber plug, grab the terminal block where the power wires are connected with your hand. Gently shaking it left and right, remove the connector from the lamp contacts.
- The metal base of the light bulb is pressed into the socket by a wire retainer. Press the loop (or bracket) end of it and slide it down or up to disengage the spring from engaging the lugs.
- The other end of the latch is fixed to the bracket. Move the bracket to the side and pull out the lamp, remembering the position of the housing. There is no need to rotate the base during removal.
To change the low beam bulb, wipe the new element with a rag and carefully insert it into the socket, holding it by the base. You cannot touch the glass flask with your bare hands - grease marks will remain. It is better to wear a thin fabric glove. Then return the latch to its place and snap it into the eyes, after moving it in the desired direction.
The last step is to connect the contact connector and install the plug. When finished, assemble the removed parts, connect the battery and check the functionality of the new low beam element. If it burns noticeably brighter than the other working headlight, it is worth changing the second lamp.
