How to select and change the low beam lamp on a VAZ 2106

Buying a car is an exciting event in the life of every car lover. Many people buy domestic equipment from previous years. This is due to the fact that it is easy to change by adding a certain “zest” to the design. The result is a very interesting and original technique. The domestically produced “Seven” has long gone out of fashion, but a competent reconstruction will give this model a bright, modern look. The first thing to start with is tuning the headlights on the VAZ 2107. It is worth noting that the lighting devices of the VAZ 2105 are identical to the “seven”.

Whether to tune VAZ 2107 headlights with your own hands or go to a mechanic, everyone decides for themselves. Modernization may consist of the following elements:

  • xenon installation;
  • replacing LEDs;
  • toning.

Headlight faults and repairs

During operation, the owner of a VAZ 2106 does not always notice that the headlights are gradually becoming paler, forcing the driver to look closely at the road. The reason is the inevitable clouding of the lamp bulb after a certain time, so experts recommend getting into the habit of regularly replacing the lamps of the front lighting devices. If individual lamps or lights in the car do not light up, this may be due to:

  • failure of one of the fuses;
  • lamp burnout;
  • mechanical damage to the wiring, oxidation of the tips or loosening of the electrical wires.

If the high or low beam does not switch, then most likely the high or low beam relay has failed or the contacts of the steering column switch have oxidized. In both cases, as a rule, replacement is required - respectively, a relay or a switch. It is also necessary to replace the three-lever switch if its levers do not lock or switch.

How to disassemble a headlight

To disassemble a VAZ 2106 headlight (for example, to replace the glass), you need to heat the sealant around its perimeter with a hairdryer, then remove the glass with a thin screwdriver or knife. A hairdryer is a convenient tool in this case, but not necessary: ​​some people heat the headlight in a steam bath or in the oven, although this risks overheating the glass. The headlight is assembled in the reverse order - a layer of sealant is applied and the glass is carefully installed in place.

Replacing light bulbs

To replace a VAZ 2106 headlight bulb, you must:

  1. Remove the plastic cover using a flat-head screwdriver.
  2. Use a Phillips screwdriver to loosen the fastening screws of the rim holding the headlight.

Reassembling the structure after replacing the lamp is performed in the reverse order.

Headlights corrector

A device such as a headlight range control is not used every day, but it can be useful, for example, when driving at night with an overloaded trunk. At the same time, the front part of the car “lifts up”, and the low beam is more like high beam. In this case, the driver can use the corrector to lower the beam of light down. In the opposite situation, when the corrector is configured for a loaded trunk and the car is empty, you can perform the opposite manipulation.

If the car is not equipped with a corrector, you can install this device yourself. Based on the type of drive, correctors are divided into hydraulic and electromechanical. The hydraulic one consists of the main cylinder and headlight drive cylinders, as well as a pipe system and a manual regulator, which is installed on the instrument panel. Electromechanical - consisting of a servo drive, wires and a regulator. The headlights are adjusted using a hydraulic corrector by changing the pressure of the working fluid (which must be non-freezing) in the cylinders. The electric corrector changes the position of the headlights using a servo drive, which consists of an electric motor and a worm gear: after applying voltage to the electric motor, the rotational movement is converted into translational motion, and the rod connected to the headlight by a ball joint changes its angle.

Periodic cleaning is required not only on the outside, but also on the inside of the VAZ 2106 headlights. If you need to get rid of dirt and dust accumulated during operation, you can use one of the many special cleaning products

It is important that the product does not contain alcohol, which can damage the coating of the reflector and the optics will have to be changed. In some cases, toothpaste or cosmetic micellar nail polish remover may be sufficient to clean the surface of the headlight.

To wash the inside surface of the headlight without removing the glass, you need to remove the lamp from the headlight, pour water diluted with a cleaning agent inside and shake well several times, then rinse the container with clean water and dry.

Emergency situations determined by the dashboard indicator

The VAZ 2107 instrument panel allows you to detect most malfunctions in vehicle systems without leaving the driver's seat.

  • The low oil pressure light comes on. You should immediately turn off the engine, stop and check the oil level in the crankcase. If necessary, add oil and then start the engine. If the oil level is sufficient and the lamp is on, you cannot continue driving. The car needs to be towed to the repair site. Otherwise, the bearings (crankshaft bearings) will wear out or rotate and the engine will knock or jam, which will require expensive overhauls.
  • The battery warning light comes on. In this situation, you can continue driving, but you should take into account that you won’t be able to travel far, especially at night, as the battery will quickly discharge. You need to start by checking the condition of the terminals. If they are oxidized, clean them. If the terminals are in order, it is necessary to check the functionality of the generator or voltage regulator relay (often the reason for the lack of charge lies precisely in the latter).
  • If the brake fluid level warning light comes on, you should stop immediately. It is unacceptable to continue driving with faulty brakes. After stopping, it is necessary to add brake fluid and check the functionality of the brake system. If the brakes work, you can drive to the repair site yourself. Otherwise, you need to fix the breakdown on site or call a tow truck.

If the coolant temperature gauge needle is in the red zone of the scale, you need to stop to let the engine cool down. When the temperature drops, you can check the condition of the pipes and the coolant level. If the level is normal, then you can try to go to a service station to find out the cause of the breakdown. Most often this is a malfunction of the thermostat or radiator fan. The VAZ 2107 panel is not equipped with an alarm or an additional lamp that lights up when the engine overheats. Therefore, inexperienced drivers often do not notice this problem, which can lead to antifreeze boiling away or even jamming the engine.

Important: do not open the expansion tank or climb into the pipes when the engine is not cooled down. Otherwise, you may get burns. If the fuel level needle is at zero or the yellow “reserve” lamp lights up, you need to refuel

Power reserve on “reserve” - about 50 km

If the fuel level needle is at zero or the yellow “reserve” light comes on, you need to refuel. The “reserve” range is about 50 km.

Also, the front panel of the VAZ 2107 has a tachometer, the readings of which should be paid attention to when driving. Driving at high speeds (over 5000 rpm) can lead to engine damage

If you keep the tachometer needle in the green zone of the scale, you can extend the service life and achieve minimal fuel consumption.

How to change optics

Currently, many car enthusiasts install alternative optics on the VAZ 2106 as front lights, but this does not always bring an equivalent solution to the problem. Thus, many motorists are replacing halogen lamps on their front headlights with xenon lighting elements, which significantly increases the vehicle’s aggression and luminous intensity, especially in the evening and at night.

However, you should know that updated optics, the price of which is quite high, is by no means a cheap pleasure. Instructions for replacing the front optics with a new one:

  1. Remove factory optics.
  2. Try on new products and make holes of the required diameter at the fastening points using a drill.
  3. Strengthen the updated product, first install mounting springs for installation, which will be required for subsequent adjustment of the luminous flux.
  4. Adjust the light beam.

However, only the low-beam optics of the VAZ 2106 will operate, and the high beam will be absent, although this drawback in the city and the illuminated highway does not seem to be a big problem. It is much worse if you have to travel long distances, where this disadvantage will cause serious inconvenience.

Replacing the low beam lamp for lada 2107 (VAZ 2107)

Unlike the VAZ-2106 and its predecessors, the “seven” has changed its appearance. The main difference between the VAZ-2107 and previous VAZ models. These are front optics, thanks to which the driver can freely move in the car on unlit roads at night. On the very first VAZ-2107 models, the headlights can hardly be called optics, but over time they were refined and supplemented. Therefore, this article will tell you everything about the “Seven” headlights.

What kind of headlights do they have?

On a VAZ-2107 car, the headlights are plastic boxes, the front side of which is often glass and has a rectangular shape. There are also those whose front side is made of plastic. Each option has its pros and cons. Glass headlight unit. The main advantage of this material. maximum reflective effect, which is achieved through the use of ribbed surfaces inside the device. The advantages include the almost impossibility of scratching. The glass surface also has disadvantages:

if the slightest crushed stone or gravel gets on the glass, a crack will form; destruction with a stronger physical impact; impossibility of fastening with screws.

Headlight made of transparent plastic. Thus, the plastic device has less focusing properties, but is already widely used in the domestic and foreign automotive industry. Main advantage. fracture toughness, small stones cannot penetrate the front cover of the lighting fixture. Therefore, many drivers choose plastic material due to this property. The disadvantages include the possibility of light scratches, which negatively affects the reflective properties.

Replacing lamps on a VAZ-2107

Replacing lamps is simple and does not require any tools. Everything is done manually, but first of all, it will be better to protect yourself and your car and disconnect the battery. You can now unscrew the rear headlight assembly cover by turning it 10 degrees to the left. Replacement of the low/high beam lamp is carried out in the following order:

  • terminal block with power wires disconnected;
  • the lamp is held in place by a retaining spring that must be unlocked;
  • the non-working lamp has been removed.

The disadvantage of lamps with basic H4 types and two spirals is that the burnout of one spiral entails a complete replacement. Continuing with the replacement, you need to insert the lamp into the seat and secure it with a clamp. The block is put on the contacts and closed with a lid, returning it to the desired position

It is also important to avoid skin contact with the housing when replacing, so it is recommended to wear gloves

When installing a new foot, which can be halogen or xenon, you must avoid touching the housing. The smallest imprint of fatty tissue on the shell shortens the service life, especially for xenon.

The emergency lamp is removed as follows:

location determined; the terminal turns to the left and is removed along with the lamp; removed and replaced with a new one; assembly in reverse order.

Replacement of side lighting is carried out according to the following scheme:

removing the cover; removing the cartridge; took it out and installed a new light bulb.

Tuning the exhaust system of VAZ 2104

With a serious approach to tuning the Zhiguli of the fourth model, the exhaust system is not neglected. As a result, you can achieve not only an increase in power, but also get a beautiful exhaust sound

  1. An exhaust manifold. You can modify it yourself or install a factory-made “spider” type product. The design of such a collector consists of interlacing and connecting pipes in a certain way. In order not to spend money on purchasing such a part, you can get by with “little expense” - modifying the standard manifold yourself. To do this, you will need a round file and special cutters, which are clamped into a drill: they are used to process the inner surface of the exhaust manifold. At the end of the procedure, polishing is carried out with GOI paste.
  2. "Trousers". The exhaust pipe connects the exhaust manifold and the resonator. If you intend to install forward flow on your “four”, then the “pants” need to be replaced, since an oversized pipe will be required. This will ensure that the exhaust gases exit without any obstruction.
  3. Forward flow. The introduction of forward flow on the VAZ 2104 will allow you to get a beautiful sound and an increase in power. When the engine is modified, power increases, which indicates the need to install a direct-flow muffler due to an increase in the volume of exhaust gases. If we consider the design of the forward flow, it is similar to a resonator: material is used inside to absorb sound. You can install direct flow at a service center or with your own hands, for which you will need a welding machine. A more powerful engine combined with a modified exhaust system will not leave your car unnoticed in city traffic, although some car owners are of the opinion that an old Lada with a large pipe instead of a standard muffler looks ridiculous.

Tuning a VAZ 2104 is an event that requires financial investment, but at the same time allows you to transform the car beyond recognition. The old “four” can be transformed into a comfortable car with good dynamic performance. Any component or part can be modernized, especially since today a large selection of elements is offered for any modifications, be it changing the interior trim or increasing engine power.

Battery drains quickly

One of the problems of the Seven is that the battery discharges to such a level that it does not turn on the starter. This is caused by an insufficiently charged battery or a large loss of current. This may indicate poor contact on the relay regulator.

When the battery on the device lights up on a VAZ 2107

, which means the battery is not charged. The indicator showing the battery charge should go out when the engine is turned on. If the battery light on a VAZ 2107 is on

, and the battery is discharged, then the reasons may be the following:

  • malfunctions on the relay regulator;
  • worn or stuck brushes in the brush holder;
  • One of the diodes in the generator is not working.

Rear lights

The rear light on a Zhiguli consists of four lamps located in one housing:

  • turn indicator;
  • size;
  • reverse light;
  • stop signal.

The block is covered with glass or plastic with separate cells for each headlight. It is necessary to change the lamps in the rear headlights after the trunk trim has been removed, since the lens fastening nut is located in the passenger compartment. The license plate lamp socket is located near the rear headlights. The process of replacing light bulbs in the rear unit goes through stages.

  1. Holding the diffuser with one hand, unscrew the nut located in the trunk.
  2. Remove the diffuser.

Regardless of which lamp needs to be changed, clearance or stop, all lamps are removed from the VAZ 2106 taillight in the same way.

Lightly press the lamp. Turn counterclockwise. The protrusions on the base must match the gaps in the cartridge. Pull out the light bulb. Replace in reverse order.

The diffuser, before it is tightened with a nut, is always installed into the headlight unit from below and only then pressed by hand over the entire area.

Recommendations

When faced with the question of what running lights are on a car and how to service them, the driver of the vehicle begins to study the nuances and details of this process. The serviceability of lighting devices is mandatory for the safety of passengers and the car owner. Therefore, it is necessary to change and adjust the lighting on time and with a certain frequency.

LED low beam lamps

It is recommended to install LED low beam lamps. The advantages of the devices are their efficiency, affordable cost, and long service life. Along with other types of lamps, LEDs occupy a leading position. For drivers who are often on the road at night, it is recommended to install hella fog lights. They significantly improve visibility of the road surface and do not dazzle other road users.

It is impossible not to note the importance of the serviceability of the rear lights of the car. They must be powerful, have a durable body and excellent color temperature

The rear lights on the VAZ brightly illuminate the road in any weather and at night. A wide range of products allows you to choose modified spare parts with all kinds of additions and improvements. Thanks to this, the appearance of the car will become expressive and original.

Today, low beam h7 is considered the most popular and in demand. Installation is carried out on almost all cars in the same way, and the process is simple and quick. If the driver does not understand how to replace the low beam light bulb on Kalina, we recommend that you read the instructions above

It is important to follow the rules and take into account all recommendations, then the work will be done efficiently. This procedure will save money for the car owner.

Bulb replacement procedure

Using a Phillips screwdriver, unscrew the bolts that are located around the entire circumference of the rim. In total, you need to unscrew three of them (if my memory serves me correctly), namely those that perform the function of a lock:

Now we turn the ring slightly clockwise and after that you can remove the reflector along with the glass, as shown in the photo below:

Next, everything is done very simply. You must first disconnect the wires leading to the lamp contacts:

And then squeeze the light bulb retainer (the ends of the thin metal latch) with two fingers:

Then we tilt it up and calmly remove the light bulb:

If necessary, we replace burnt out light bulbs, install new ones and reassemble everything in the reverse order. If you decide to completely change the headlight assembly, you will have to take a few more steps:

Important

Be sure to wash the glass thoroughly and wait until it is completely dry. After this, place it in the oven for 5-10 minutes at a temperature of 60°C. If desired, you can make a film of a different color, but in this case you will need to use a different chloride. By adjusting the concentration of rosin and salt, you can change the color saturation yourself.

The main thing in this process is not to get carried away with tinting, because everything needs to be done in accordance with the current GOST. Acceptable window tinting stipulates that the windshield must transmit at least 75% of the light, while the remaining windows must transmit at least 70%.

Tips for choosing headlight bulbs

When choosing a replacement lamp for low beam headlights, the following criteria must be taken into account:

  1. View. The new light bulb must be the same as the previously installed one, or correspond to the control parameters. For example, xenon and LEDs require a luminous flux controller. Otherwise, equipping headlights with such lamps will be contrary to the rules and will impede the passage of technical inspection.
  2. Design. Lamps are divided into single-filament lamps - only low beam H7, and double-filament lamps - H4 - low beam and high beam. The choice depends on the headlight itself. They can have one mounting slot (for one lamp) or two compartments – for two lighting devices.
  3. Power. According to this indicator, when replacing lamps, they must comply with the factory standard, otherwise, in an effort to increase the illumination of the highway, you can blind an oncoming traffic participant and provoke an accident.
  4. Base. When replacing a lamp, it is best to take the old one with you to the auto shop and use it to compare the dimensions of the seat of the new model.
  5. Number of copies. With good quality, warranty and reliability of the manufacturer, it is better to buy several copies with a reserve than to be left without low beam in an emergency situation.
  6. Brand. The most well-known manufacturers with good quality products today are Bosch, Philips, Osram, Koito and others.

In addition to all the above factors, when purchasing a replacement lamp for low beam headlights, you need to take into account the conditions in which they will be used. The degree of moisture protection is a very important parameter when choosing them.

Which lamps are suitable

Low beam headlights are the most frequently used optical element of any passenger car model. Many people use them not only at dusk, but also as daytime running lights. This is why they quickly fail. The VAZ 2106 series model is equipped with a 12-volt H4 lamp with a power consumption of 55 W. The characteristic features of such a lamp are the presence of two filaments - which determines its operation in two modes - far and near.

There are several types of lamps for low beam headlights:

  1. The incandescent light bulb is an outdated model, burns out quickly, is characterized by low energy efficiency, and is practically not used by modern manufacturers.
  2. Halogen. The most popular. They have a good service life and sufficient brightness and other lighting parameters for road conditions.
  3. Xenon. They are distinguished by a good bright white glow that is 3 times stronger than that of their halogen counterparts. Disadvantages - they require additional installation of an ignition unit, and can also blind oncoming road users.
  4. LEDs. They have the best characteristics - durability up to 100 thousand hours, high brightness, low energy consumption, no overheating. However, they are expensive and require a special reflector design for full operation.

Types of low beam lamps

  • cheap lamps with tungsten filament. They burn out quickly and glow weakly;
  • halogen lamps are more expensive, but they have good light output and a long service life;
  • Xenon lamps are even more expensive, but they shine even brighter. They are prohibited because they blind oncoming drivers;
  • LED ones are even more expensive, but they have a long service life and low power consumption.

The standard lamp in the headlights can be replaced with any of the above, the main thing is to choose one that fits the base. When replacing, it is recommended to change on both headlights so that there is no difference in lighting.

It doesn’t matter what type of lamp you choose, but the power of the light bulb should be no more than 55 watts. If it is more, then the low beam will blind oncoming drivers.

The marking on the packaging of the light bulbs will be 12V/55W.

Problem solving

When the low beam lamps are turned on, all four filament elements must be activated

If one of them is found to be weak or does not light up at all, you should pay attention to whether the fuse is intact. You can check it from inside the car

When driving fast, pebbles hit the car, so there is a risk of damaging the surface of the product.

If the check shows that the fuses are intact, you will need to inspect the lamps themselves. To do this, open the hood, remove the rear casing, and then remove the coil of wires. The spring is removed from it, as well as the light bulb holder itself. Having taken it out, a new light bulb is inserted there.

There are times when replacement does not bring the desired result. In this case, you need to check the two relays, which are marked accordingly on the surface of the low beam lamp. The problem is usually oxidation of the contacts. It can be eliminated by simple cleaning. In some cases, you will have to completely replace the relay.

Replacing light elements

When carrying out a test that does not give the desired result, you should reconsider the mounting of the block, its reliability and performance

Likewise, it is important to test the wires responsible for the operation of the headlights. First, the easiest way to check the fasteners located next to the battery and air intake

After this, we find the second element, which is located near the adsorber.

If this does not help, you should pay attention to the headlight control unit - its switch may break. Need to check contacts

When the car is exposed to rain and the low-beam headlights are of poor quality, fogging occurs.

Conclusion

The Zhiguli 2106 car has a fairly simple electrical circuit, so it is not difficult to find and fix headlight faults. To do this, you just need to adhere to the recommendations outlined above, and also be able to handle a device such as a multimeter.

You can find additional useful information on the topic discussed in the video in this article.

Now we will replace the lamps of the lighting devices of the VAZ 2106 car.

Replacing lamps for external and internal high and low beam headlights:

Remove the outer headlight trim by pressing on the clips

If the latches do not snap off, use a screwdriver. Unscrew the three screws securing the headlight rim and turn it clockwise until the holes on the rim line up with the screw heads and remove it. Hold with your hand and carefully remove the optical element. Disconnect the bag with wires, then press out the two pressure springs and remove the lamp. Remove the protective cover from the new lamp and install it back into the optical element. Install the optics in the reverse order of removal. Replace the lamps on all external and internal headlights in this manner.
