Replacing lamps in the dashboard of a VAZ 2109

The backlighting of the VAZ 2109 instrument panel is often not satisfactory for drivers. You can change the color and its brightness yourself, without turning to the salon for help.

To improve the lighting, you need to install LEDs instead of conventional incandescent light bulbs. Their glow is much brighter, in addition, you can choose the color of the backlight at your discretion: blue, green, red or white. These are the main colors, but if you look, you can also find purple LEDs.

Replacement of light bulbs or sockets must be carried out carefully and carefully. If the car owner decides to use LEDs to illuminate the buttons, then you need to purchase a light bulb with a regular base. Soldering and a special cartridge are needed if there is a desire to replace the backlight of the instrument cluster. Among the many LEDs, there are also those that have a diffuse or, conversely, point glow.

These effects are achieved using a focusing lens configuration. A more uniform backlight is suitable for illuminating the scale on the instrument panel, and a brighter light is suitable for the button icon. Every driver should take into account the features of design changes when improving his car.

Replacing Light Bulbs in the Dashboard of a VAZ 2109 ~ VESKO-TRANS.RU

Replacing light bulbs in the dashboard of a VAZ 2109 Currently, I notice that all new foreign cars have only LED light sources instead of conventional incandescent lamps in the rear lights as brake lights, side lights, and turn indicators. As it turns out, this is no coincidence. According to research, using LED brake lights instead of conventional incandescent lamps gives the driver behind the vehicle additional moments to maneuver or make emergency braking. During this time, a car moving at a speed of 100 km/h travels 5-6 m. The fact is that an incandescent lamp takes about 0.3 seconds to achieve full brightness, while an LED lights up almost instantly, in about 70 nanoseconds I think the order of these numbers says a lot. Also, LEDs are better than incandescent lamps in terms of specific light output per watt of power and service life. Thus, the time between failures for LEDs is approaching 100,000 hours versus approximately 2000 for incandescent lamps.

Also, incandescent lamps usually fail not because the filament burns out, but because of exposure to strong vibrations, especially given the quality of our roads.

They are completely immune to this kind of influence, which gives them a serious advantage when used in cars. Next, we will consider the types of lamps used in the VAZ 2109 car, and what LED lamps suitable for replacing them exist. AKG 12-60/55 (60/55 W) These are halogen lamps, they have two spirals of low and high beam, H4 base. Installed in car headlights.

Although LED analogues exist, when installed, the headlight light will not satisfy existing requirements (a beam of light of a given shape is not formed), the headlights will shine anywhere and can blind oncoming drivers, so they should not be used.

Lamps with a colored bulb (blue, yellow) change the color of the beam, and under certain conditions, for example in rainy weather, visibility deteriorates. A 12-21-3 (21 W) The most common type of lamps in front-wheel drive VAZs.

VAZ 2109 Replacing backlight bulbs in the instrument panel

If one or more light bulbs

in the instrument panel have stopped functioning, it is necessary to check the integrity... Installed in brake lights, turn signals, rear fog lights, reversing lights. For replacement, there are various LED lamps based on SMD LEDs. A 12-10 (10 W) Used in rear dimensions. As a replacement, you can try lamps with a suitable base on SMD LEDs. A 12-4-1 (4 W) Used in headlights as, as well as for...

To replace them, there are many LED lamps, with different numbers of LEDs.

There are even LEDs, the color of which is almost indistinguishable from incandescent lamps. When choosing an analogue, you must ensure that the LED lamp fits in its standard place. A 12-1. 2 (1 W) This lamp is used for buttons on the instrument panel. To replace them, there are many LED analogues of various colors. It is better to choose analogues with one SMD LED (larger area and brightness of the glow). You can find out more about this modification of the instrument panel backlight. AS 12-5-1 (5 W) These lamps are installed in the lampshade and rear license plate lights. There are many LED analogues to replace them. To increase brightness, you can install a lamp with 6-9 LEDs in the interior.

To illuminate the number, any with suitable dimensions and sufficient (but not excessive) brightness. A 12-5-2 (5 W) Used in turn signal repeaters, as well as in a portable lamp. For turn signals, you can find LED lamps with a similar base.

A 12-5 (5 W) Used as a lamp for lighting the engine compartment. This is its only use in the VAZ 2109. Any LED lamp with an appropriate base is suitable for replacement. AMN 12-3-1 (3 W) Used only for illuminating the cigarette lighter socket. Any LED bulb with the appropriate base will be suitable for replacement. Lamps in fog lights P If your VAZ 2109 is equipped, then they have halogen lamps with a power of 55 W. There are LED analogues for them too, but you can’t get the same brightness as from halogens. However, they can only be used as...

Features of backlight replacement

How to change the panel, making it a designer one?
You need to be extremely careful and precise when removing and disassembling the dashboard, so as not to subsequently disturb the correctness of its readings. Often, during disassembly, the chrome plating of parts suffers. So be patient and get to work. First, remove the dashboard panel. You can read about how to change it in the repair instructions for your car brand. Then remove the instrument cluster, disconnect the plugs, bend the speedometer cable and replace the bulbs. Gradually remove the filters from the buttons. It is better to leave the green-blue light spectrum on the panel unchanged, but replace the green filters completely.

You can make the rear window heating button illuminated orange, and the fog lamp button illuminated turquoise. This shade can be achieved by passing the white color of the LED through a green filter. The reflector can be foil secured with double-sided tape. The hazard warning lights should be red (like in foreign cars). In this case, maintaining polarity is of particular importance.

In a ring filter, using a file, you can make triangular slits through which the light will be scattered. The overall illumination pattern will become more uniform. It's time to check the performance of the LEDs. Only after this check can a constant voltage of 12 V be supplied.

Instrument needles are often replaced with special ones with backlight. This effect is achieved by a lamp located near the axis. Every driver who has basic knowledge of car mechanics and puts in a little effort can boast of a beautiful dashboard. Improve the design of the VAZ 2109 and enjoy it!

It often happens that it is necessary to replace the instrument panel light bulb(s). If instrument readings become difficult to see in the dark, then the most likely reason will be the burnout of several backlight bulbs. First you need to remove the instrument panel (how to do this is described in detail here).

Then we take the instrument panel and check all the backlight bulbs:

As a rule, if a light bulb burns out, then, just like in a regular incandescent lamp, a burnt filament is visible. We replace the burnt out bulbs with new ones, install the panel in place and enjoy the instrument panel with normally working backlight.

REPLACING LAMPS IN THE INSTRUMENT PANEL

To replace the dashboard indicator lamps, according to the instructions, you need to remove the entire upper part of the dashboard. This is true?

Yes, we need to dismantle all this stuff. But in practice, if you need to replace the bottom row of indicator lamps (under the instruments) on the left and right, then.

You can remove the plastic knee protection under the steering column from below. Move the seat as far back as possible, lie in the doorway (the door is open) with your head towards the pedals. And stick your hands (arm) in, pull out the light bulb (bayonet connector), and install a new one. The bulbs for illuminating the control symbols will fit from the VAZ 2107-2109 from the dashboard, they perform the same functions there. Instrument lighting, different lamps, larger base and power. It's hard to get to the top ones, it's better to figure it out like in a book. They are replaced with exactly the same ones used again for the same purpose in the VAZ 2107-2109. Cheaper than the original once every... original 3 USD , domestic - 5 rubles. In general, all the lamps in the car, except for the lamps in the headlights of Volvo 850 produced after 1995, are replaced with domestic ones. I don’t want to change to domestic ones, take General Electric, Philips, Osram, etc.

Topic: Not Working: All Tidy, Wipers, Fern Guard on VAZ 21099

My friend has a VAZ 21099 injector.

And recently the following happened: all the instrumentation stopped working (speedometer, tachometer, etc.), the wipers and ferns do not work. the headlights seem to come on

Today I talked to him, they say in the morning everything worked fine, but in the afternoon it immediately turned off right on the go.

I advised him to pay attention to the fuse box (they say the frost has hit, condensation is forming or it’s just wet)

I would like to hear your opinion, what do you think about this? mb has this happened to anyone?

LED instrument panel lighting

In this article, we’ll look at how to improve the appearance of the instrument panel by changing the brightness and color of the backlight of the instrument scales and buttons at your discretion, since in terms of these parameters the standard instrument panel of the VAZ 2109 does not suit all owners of these cars. To do this, we will install instead of conventional light bulbs incandescent LEDs used in instrument panel lighting. They have a brighter glow and come in different colors that you can choose according to your preference. Standard colors are white, red, green, blue, and purple is also found. Please note that to illuminate the buttons, LEDs with a regular base like a light bulb are used, and to illuminate the instrument cluster, you need to install such an LED in a special socket; soldering will be required. But you can also purchase a ready-made LED already mounted in the socket. LED for illuminating the instrument panel (left) and buttons (right) In addition, there are LEDs on sale that have a point glow, when the light of the diode is narrowly directed only in one direction (forward), and LEDs , having a diffused glow, which is achieved by a special shape of the LED lens. Which one you prefer, choose for yourself. So let's get started.

Illumination of the heater (stove) control console

Remove the plastic handles for the heater damper control levers. Remove the glass of the stove control unit by picking it up with a knife. We make a reflector out of foil and fix it under the glass of the VAZ 2109 heater control unit. If it is not made, the console backlight will be concentrated only in the place where the backlight LED is installed next to the heater fan speed control knob, and will decrease towards the opposite area, which does not look very good attractive. Then unscrew the lower part of the center console (the beard), remove the socket with the backlight lamp for the heater control unit and change the lamp to an LED. We put everything back together in reverse order.

It should be noted that simply replacing the backlight lamp with an LED one, despite all the tricks, will not achieve completely uniform illumination of the heater control panel. Although this is still better than the standard backlight.

To finalize the illumination of this unit, it is best to stick a 10 cm long LED strip to the bottom, solder 2 wires (plus and minus) to its contacts, and connect the wires to the backlight lamp socket of this unit. Just act carefully, do not leave uninsulated sections of wires to avoid a short circuit! LED strip for illuminating the heater control panel Now the heater control panel illumination glows brightly and evenly over the entire area. Moreover, this illumination is noticeable both day and night. Illumination using an LED strip This is what the illumination looks like during the day. However, if in the daytime everything is fine with the illumination, then when it got dark I realized that the brightness of such illumination is excessive for me, and it would be nice to have it a little less bright.

You can, of course, adjust the brightness of the entire instrument panel illumination using the corresponding regulator to the left of the steering wheel, but the brightness of the remaining instrument panel illumination lamps suited me, so I did it differently.

We take a black marker and paint over the coating above the LEDs (my LED strip is insulated) to the desired level of light transmission - and the problem of excess brightness is solved. The photo above shows a version of the backlight already modified in this way. You can also cover the LED strip with a piece of tint film, the effect will be the same.

Illuminated buttons on the instrument panel

The procedure is extremely simple: remove the button from the panel by prying it with a screwdriver (carefully), disassemble it, take out the light bulb installed in it, install an LED of the color you like in it, remove the light filter and put everything back together. This is what the result of the modification looks like: the buttons and instrument cluster glow with bright white light. And this is what the white backlight looks like during the day: You don’t have to remove the light filter from the button, but on the contrary, by selecting a light filter, create the appropriate brightness and color of the button glow. On my car, the rear window heating button is illuminated in orange, and the foglight buttons glow turquoise. The turquoise color is the result of a white LED shining through a green filter. The illumination of the hazard warning button is made red in a foreign style. LED illumination of the instrument cluster. We will need 3 LEDs in a socket, double-sided tape and foil. Remove the instrument panel shield (visor). For dismantling instructions, see any VAZ 2109 repair manual. Remove the instrument cluster. Unscrew the speedometer cable and disconnect all the plugs. At the top of the instrument cluster there are 3 backlight bulbs.

They illuminate instrument scales through a green filter. You can remove this filter, or leave it as you like. I would like to note that the light of a white diode through a green filter is quite interesting, try it yourself.

We replace the light bulbs with LEDs (preferably with a diffuser lens); for better light dispersion, we make a reflector from foil, secured with double-sided tape. Reassemble the instrument panel in reverse order. IMPORTANT! LEDs have polarity, so if after installation the diode does not light up, you need to change the polarity of its power supply by simply turning the LED over. Taking advantage of the situation, you can glue all the plastic joints of the panel with double-sided tape, there will be fewer squeaks.

Features of backlight replacement

Instrument needles are often replaced with special ones with backlight. This effect is achieved by a lamp located near the axis. Every driver who has basic knowledge of car mechanics and puts in a little effort can boast of a beautiful dashboard. Improve the design of the VAZ 2109 and enjoy it!

The instrument panel lighting of the VAZ 2109 does not work

I recently bought a car (used). I haven’t had a chance to drive at night, but yesterday I took a ride. I discovered that the instrument lights do not work. The first thought was that the fuse had blown, but, judging by the description, there were several circuits on it. So the rest are fine. Maybe the light bulb has burned out? Is she there alone or not? Maybe the contact has fallen off? Remove the torpedo? Or look under the hood? Tell the kettle

Popular faults

If we talk about the dashboard of VAZ 2109 cars, then they are characterized by certain problems. We will tell you about them, and also tell you how to act correctly in a given situation.

Fault type

Gasoline level and temperature indicator does not work

In most percent of cases, this situation occurs due to breakdown of devices, sensors of these devices, or an open circuit of the power supply. Therefore, first check the circuit for continuity, make sure that the fuses have not blown. If this is not the case, check whether the gas level and temperature sensors are working.

When the fuel tank is full, the arrow points to zero

If you have worked on the fuel level sensor, the fault most likely lies with you. When manipulating this device, the float limiter is often knocked down. Either the limiter is installed incorrectly or adjusted, causing the resistor winding to end. To resolve the problem, remove the sensor and then adjust the limiter again

The fuel gauge needle regularly jumps and ends up at zero

Here, most likely, the resistor has weak contact with the current collector. Another possible option is that there is a break in the resistor. To resolve this situation, we recommend replacing the hot level sensor with a new measuring device

The fuel level lamp is constantly on

If this lamp is constantly on, there is probably a short circuit in the fuel level sensor supply wiring to ground. Another option is that the sensor’s flexible bus is shorted to the fuel intake pipe. You will have to disassemble the device to align the bus and get rid of the resulting short circuit

Indicator lamps do not work on the dashboard

There is a high probability that the light bulbs have simply burned out, or they are poorly held in their seats due to loose contact. Replace the bulbs, but first try tightening the contacts. Traces of oxidation may be detected. When cleaned, the light bulbs can work normally again. Also, do not exclude the possibility of wiring breakage or oxidation of the tips of the supply wiring. Try going over the wires with a tester, cleaning the contacts if necessary.

VAZ-2109 panel: do-it-yourself modernization

The VAZ 2109 panel is made of a special energy-absorbing material. It consists of an overlay and, in fact, the panel itself. It is made of plastic. Its thickness is 3 mm. The overlay is essentially reinforced with a special metal frame. It has a reliable energy-absorbing layer made of polyurethane foam. On the outside it is lined with a special decorative film. Low and high panels of the VAZ 2109, as well as a “European panel” can be installed on the car. The high panel of the VAZ 2109, like the low one, has certain features that should be taken into account when installing them.

The installation method and the high panel are almost identical, since the mounting points, as well as the connections of the air ducts of the automobile ventilation and heating system, are the same.

The differences concern only the wiring harness connections. (The diagram of the VAZ 2109 instrument panel is shown in the photo below; follow the link to read even more about it).

How to do easy tuning of the VAZ-2109 dashboard with your own hands

During the modernization of the interior of the domestic “nine”, tuning its “tidy” becomes a truly indispensable element. Beautiful modifications can be done with your own hands. To do this, you will need to make a new dial on a computer using special design programs and printing the picture on a printer. However, first you need to clearly think through the appearance of the dials for the car tachometer and speedometer, as well as for all the sensors that remain. Once the dials are printed, they need to be laminated, and then you can begin to remove the instrument panel. To properly dismantle it, you must first remove the steering wheel pads, and also mark the steering position relative to the shaft. Then carefully unscrew the fastening nut.

Next, you can remove the steering wheel and unscrew the screws that are located in the area of the car lower casing. After this, you will have to disassemble the steering column. When the instrument panel is removed, you should unscrew the arrows from the old speedometer and tachometer. Subsequently, they will be attached to the updated dials.

When tuning a VAZ 2109 with your own hands, you can also repaint the dials and hands in bright colors. Regular spray paint cans are suitable for this. At the same time, it is better to make the dial a rich black color. You can make it matte using special means. In this case, the arrows need to be painted in bright pink or original red-burgundy tones. After the painted plates of the machine dial have dried, they are equipped with an old or pre-prepared scale and removed hands. In a situation where the owner wants to modernize the instrument panel in a more modern way, he should also use a special (original, as in the video) backlight. You can add an original touch using a fluorescent marker, but more on that below.

Beautiful modifications to the VAZ 2109 panel

Every driver of a domestic car wants to make the instrument panel of his VAZ-2109 as bright and original as possible. Here is one of the options for how beautifully you can modify this element of the machine. You will need a soldering iron. Next you need to buy numbers and a scale panel. It is important that they are translucent from the inside. You should also purchase an ultraviolet lamp. It is powered by 12 volts. Therefore, nothing needs to be changed.

You will also need a fluorescent marker or paint. It will change color if exposed to ultraviolet light. This technique is often used in modern nightclubs. You will also need ordinary light bulbs with sockets, like those in the “tidy”. There is no need to change the LEDs; they will remain in place. Everything you need is there, you can get started.

First you need to remove the plastic, then the dashboard. Also, don't forget about the black plastic that surrounds the glass. We disassemble the standard insert, as well as the arrows. Most often, there are no holes in the new insert. Therefore, you will have to do them. For the arrows, the holes will be needed wider than in the standard trim. Otherwise, the arrows will start to stick. Next, you need to dismantle the backlight that is installed. The work should be done carefully so that the plastic is not damaged. We take out the board with the light bulbs. We install a neon light bulb instead of the usual ones, and stick a plastic protection on top. It used to have factory bulbs screwed in. Don't forget about the control unit for the new neon light bulb. You should always be careful not to confuse the polarity. If this happens, nothing will shine. Next you need to screw in the instrument lighting bulbs. This should be done in parallel to the neon lamp. We lay the wiring from the inside; first, for this you need to make holes in the partitions.

Let's check if everything is correct. The light bulbs inside should be adjusted. Next we put on the overlay and seal it. After these steps, all we have to do is paint the hands with a purchased fluorescent marker or paint. It is advisable to repeat painting after 10 minutes. After this, the arrows can be installed in their place. This completes the tuning.

Check the work, otherwise you will have to disassemble everything. If there are no problems, you can assemble everything in strictly reverse order. After such tuning, the interior of the VAZ 2109 will be equipped with a colorful panel like good foreign cars. If desired, you can use fluorescent paint to paint the dashboard trim in the place where the needle reaches its limit. It looks very nice.

How to change the backlight of the VAZ 2109 panel

During a trip, an experienced driver carefully looks not only at the road, but also at the dashboard. This is necessary to monitor the corresponding readings of the sensors that are responsible for the operation of the vehicle. It should be noted that its illumination should not tire or strain the eyes. The manufacturer equipped new cars with pale green or yellow illumination. It has a certain effect on the eyes - after a certain period of time they get tired. In this situation, it is better to replace the factory instrument lighting. For such tuning you will need a set of diodes, a soldering iron, screwdrivers with attachments, gloves, and iron pliers. Then we need to choose the color of the backlight. There are many possible options, it all depends on your imagination.

However, as always in any work, this process has its own nuances. It is recommended to install a soft white backlight if you use the car every day or for long trips. It will not tire your eyes. However, if you rarely use the car, then it is better to install light bulbs of a different, most varied color. Now let's start the installation.

First you need to completely remove the dashboard and disassemble the dashboard. To do this, unscrew the screws holding the dashboard to the body. You can find out their number by studying the car's operating instructions. It is possible that it is possible to remove the panel if you disconnect only the trim and release the steering column all the way down. Then we need to unscrew the bolts that are located at the bottom of the trim. Using a screwdriver and a flat socket, pry up the instrument cluster and remove it. You should be especially careful because you can accidentally damage the glass. After that, unscrew the bolts on the back side. We disconnect the glass, and then the plastic gasket. You do not need to touch the arrows, you should work carefully, because you can accidentally touch them or knock them down. If this happens, you will have to set them again and, what is even more difficult, adjust the sensors. When examining the back of the light bulb, you can see the location of all lighting fixtures, including LEDs.

We outline them with a marker and unsolder them from the microcircuit. We check new light elements with an adapter or battery. It is better to use LEDs because they will consume a small amount of energy and also have a long service life.

Then you need to inspect the metal antennae of the diodes so that they are intact. Otherwise the diode will not light up. We insert both antennae of the diode into the hole in the microcircuit that remains after soldering the previous light bulbs. We solder the antennae on the back of the circuit. We mount the remaining diodes in the same way. Reassembly must be done in reverse order. After starting the car, turn on the low beam. Thus, we check how the installed LEDs function.

Tuning the interior of a VAZ "nine" is a fascinating process. Depending on the wishes and financial capabilities of the owner, the interior can be changed beyond recognition. By replacing the interior finishing materials with modern ones, the car will be pleasant for both the driver and passengers. In addition, the upgrade can be done with your own hands without the use of special tools.

Dismantling lighting

The diffuser is held on the base of the housing by a spring latch. Place the end of a flat-head screwdriver under the lampshade in the center and press lightly, removing the latch. After this, pull down and remove the glass cover from the lamp. Care must be taken to preserve the appearance of the lamp parts. Experienced specialists recommend placing a piece of cloth or paper on the end of the diffuser where you work with a screwdriver.

The light bulb can be removed and checked. Further dismantling is done using a Phillips screwdriver, the bolts that hold the plate and secure the base of the lampshade to the ceiling are unscrewed.

The four wires you disconnect should be labeled. Two of them are mass, and the obligatory “+” and “-”. When disconnecting wires, mark them so that there are no problems during assembly. If the new light is on, you don’t have to disassemble it any further.

The directional light canopy is removed in the same way, pryed off with a flat screwdriver and removed from the socket in the ceiling trim. Then mark the wires and disconnect them. Initially, all contacts are marked during assembly at the factory, but often when working in a cramped and poorly lit interior, the markings are difficult to see.

Good afternoon everyone. I had a problem yesterday, please help:

My brother and I dismantled the panel (high) in the evening in order to seal all the edges and joints with rubber sealing. in the end, when everything was put in place, the dashboard lights stopped lighting, but all the turn signals, high beam headlights, handbrake, etc. It lights up on the dashboard, in short everything is on, everything is there except the illumination itself and the side light bulb (the green one at the bottom left). I really ask for your help, because I can’t drive without lights and my soul hangs like a stone (((((thank you very much in advance)

Bonus answer, look at the fuse dimensions.

I checked all the fuses yesterday - everything seems to be fine. if you can, tell me which one and where it is, I’ll look at it specifically, maybe it’s the problem?!

It is necessary to check not by eye, but with a control device or tester.

Do the dimensions themselves all work? Or is only one side lit?

Re: Dashboard lights not working((((

yes no - everything works, all the lights, all the sensors. Only the backlight of the instrument panel itself and the light sensor (the green light on the dashboard at the bottom left) do not work. I can’t imagine why at all, because we didn’t do anything like that, didn’t change it.
