In any car, optics play an important role, since the driver’s safety depends on the quality of road surface lighting at night. Accordingly, because of this, many car enthusiasts change their headlights to provide better illumination. Find out more about what faults the factory headlights on a VAZ 2110 have and which headlights are best to choose from this material.
Typical headlight malfunctions
Now let's briefly talk about the malfunctions. In accordance with the operating diagram, Bosch VAZ 2110 or Kirzhach headlights operate on the same principle. The same goes for other optical elements, be it turn signals on a VAZ 2110, Bosch fog lights, DRLs on a VAZ 2110, or brake lights.
So, what malfunctions are typical for optics:
- The rear lights of the VAZ 2110 stopped working. Since these lights turn on when reverse gear is activated, there can be several reasons for their failure. This is the wiring, the inoperability of the lamp itself, as well as the failure of the reverse sensor. If two light bulbs stop working at once, then you do not need to immediately disassemble the rear lights on the VAZ; you need to check the functionality of the sensor.
- The side lights or dimensions in the turn signals of the VAZ 2110 do not work. In this case, you need to check the relay and fuse located in the block. If the problem is not with them, then check the wiring and the lamps themselves.
- The running lights on the VAZ 2110 refuse to work. You should also check the functionality of the fuse and the wiring with the bulbs. But if, in addition to the DRL, all other lights work, it would not be a bad idea to diagnose the steering column switch.
- Feet don't work. Recently, owners of “ten” cars have installed so-called stick lights in their stop signals. The sticks are so called because the glass on them is made in the shape of a hockey stick. And it often happens that the stops do not turn on after replacing the optics. If you have changed the lights, then first of all you should check the quality of all connections and the functionality of the brake light bulbs. If everything is fine with them, look for a problem in the wiring.
- Only the high beam or only the low beam or both do not work. If all optics are working properly, but only the high or low beams are not functioning, check the bulbs first. Further according to the diagram, the wiring, quality of contacts, and fuses are checked. If all components work, it is necessary to diagnose the steering column switches. It is possible that when one or another light is turned on, a contact on the switch circuit comes off.
- If you have xenon installed on a VAZ 2110, then the cause of the malfunction may be a failure of the ignition unit.
We install “foglights” with our own hands
Fog lights are a very useful attribute of every car when you need to drive in bad weather conditions. These headlights on the presented model are provided in the “Lux” configuration. As a result, their installation falls entirely on the shoulders of the car owner.
First, decide where on the machine you want to install them. The best option is the bottom of the bumper. There are holes here where they will fit perfectly. Next, you should choose their type: with transparent or corrugated glass. The first ones shine with spots, so it is better to refuse them. The second option perfectly diffuses light, illuminating the entire surface of the road. Next, you need to purchase frames for them, a set of wires, a relay and a power button. Route the wires that are located in the dashboard directly into the engine compartment. Connect the wires to the connectors on the headlights and insulate them well with electrical tape. Next, install the headlights in the frames and secure them firmly in the appropriate place on the bumper. Connect the wires. If you need the headlights to be turned on from a button, then you need to install it in the gap of the corresponding power wire. When the work is completed, adjust the headlights.
Suggested options
As mentioned above, for car owners of the “dozen” the market offers only two options for headlights - domestically produced Kirzhach and original Bosch VAZ 2110 headlights. Of course, most consumers prefer German-made products, especially considering that their cost is lower than Russian optics ( author - channel Aleks B).
Which headlights are better?
Before removing and installing new optics, let's figure out which manufacturer to give preference to. Despite the fact that German-made products have always been famous for their quality, in reality, domestic experts recommend installing Kirzhach flashlights on the “tens”.
Let's see why this is so:
- It is clear that the purpose of the lights is to provide better visibility of the road surface when driving at night, while they should not blind oncoming drivers. These functions are performed normally by both Kirzhach and Bosch devices.
- Russian-made flashlights have a lens for near lighting and a reflector for distant lighting. As for German-made lanterns, they are equipped with two reflectors. The level of illumination of the road surface is generally identical in both cases, but the Bosch ones shine an order of magnitude brighter.
- In any case, lenses are better than reflectors because they provide a clearer line of light. In addition, their operation allows the use of xenon.
- Judging by the reviews of our compatriots, Bosch flashlights have poorer illumination, in particular in low beam conditions.
- German-made devices have an important feature - the road surface is illuminated much better in cloudy weather and rain, unlike Kirzhach. This is ensured by the fact that their design uses a larger reflector. However, due to this same feature, installing xenon in Bosch will be impossible.
Which modification is better?
H4 halogen lamps installed on the VAZ-2114 are divided into:
- Standard.
- Enhanced light beam.
- Improved visual overview.
- All-weather.
- Increased power.
They are two filaments for low and high beam lighting. Lamps with a power of 60/55W are considered optimal among them.
Standard H4 lamp
Such lamps are mounted on every car of this VAZ model.
High beam lamp
High light flux lamp +30%
They are designated as +30%, 50% and so on. In addition to consuming “their” 55W and percent, they produce brighter light. But the duration of their operation is not long, although the price is more expensive.
Improved visual overview
Illuminated with white light familiar to the eye. Consuming the usual 55 W, they illuminate brighter, despite the bluish tint of the bulb.
They provide an excellent background light on snowy and dry roads. On a wet road it is better to use yellow fog lights. Doesn't blind oncoming cars. The service life of these does not differ from standard ones, despite the inflated price. Manufacturers prefer lamps with a yellow or bluish tint.
All weather
All-weather yellow lamp
The lamps are specially coated with a yellowish tint, which allows the light to achieve the contrast of the area in bad weather, especially cloudy (foggy). Yellow light has less reflection.
Increased power
They are in demand among owners who do not particularly know the “subject of the dispute.”
High-power lamps lead to consequences such as blinding an oncoming car and causing an accident.
Headlight adjustment
Briefly about the adjustment:
- To ensure the correct setting, you need to fill up a full tank of gas, wash the lights, inflate the tires to normal and put everything in the car that should be in it. We are talking about a spare tire, tools, fire extinguisher, etc. The car should be driven to a level fence or wall, and the surface on which the car is standing should also be level. The wall must be marked as shown in the photo.
- Place the car five meters from the wall.
- Turn on the lights.
- The headlamp control should be set to position 1.
- Set up the lighting as shown in the diagram.

every sandpiper praises his swamp)))
If you use halogen, take a Bosch. if xenon - only Kirzhach. and if you do as Gregory wrote, it’s generally a test. I have 5k xenon in 4 lenses - Bosch is just smoking nervously on the sidelines, collapse the branch

Which headlights are better for the VAZ 2112
Lada 2112 Dream › Logbook › Headlight connoisseurs! Which shines better KIRZHACH or BOSCH on the VAZ 2110-12?
Well, I’ll repeat the question, which optics are stronger: Kirzhach or Bosch. We are talking about stock for the VAZ 2110-12! no need for excessive imagination, just tell me what is better , an argument is desirable =D Thank you!
Lada 2112 2006, 81 l. With. - spare parts
The Prior has different headlights
.although the Kirzhach is cloudy, it shines noticeably brighter than the Bosch. But the Bosch grips a little wider. But I think this grip is just adjusting the headlights to the right one. And in terms of light brightness, the Kirzhach is clearly a little
better .
According to the video, Bosch is 2 times brighter
It turns out that with a lens it’s only Kirzhach, but without it it’s only Bosch?
By the way, I installed xenon on Kirzhach - ecstasy did not happen.
I had a ten 2006 with Bosch headlights, the light was a bomb, I sold it. What lamps are used in headlights on the VAZ-2110. Which headlights are better than VAZ-2110 VAZ-2112 VAZ-2114. Bought Sang Yong Action Sport, light bomb
.I came across an inexpensive ten year old 2007 with 27 thousand mileage but worn out, the headlights were Kirzhach but beat up, I bought new Kirzhach, and that’s when I found out how it is, the light is crap, now I’m selling Kirzhach and buying a Bosch. As for the rest, everything, THANK GOD , Fine
Other manufacturers and types of lamps
Of course, many are trying to install other types of light sources and other types of lamps. All headlights discussed above have a halogen lamp. That is, it is actually the same incandescent lamp, but its filament operates in a gas environment (bromine or iodine halogens).
There are also alternative fog lights.
Xenon PTF
Difficult to install and expensive lighting devices.
Standard PTFs converted to xenon fog lights.
The old xenon PTFs worked on lamps D1 and D2, the new ones received lamps D3 and D4 without the use of mercury vapor. Theoretically, the efficiency of such fog lights and the luminous intensity are higher than those of halogen lights. However, do not forget about the specificity of PTF - not to cause reflection of the beam from the water suspension. And all inexpensive xenon headlights require very precise adjustment of the light beam and are not able to provide a low horizontal stripe to combat fog.
In addition, the maximum color temperature for the effectiveness of fog lights is 3000-4500 K , otherwise they will be of no use and blinding light will be provided for oncoming drivers. The prices of such foglights are not lower than 5-7 thousand ( Hella Micro DE , for example). Anything cheaper is useless and even dangerous.
LED PTF
Intelligent LED PTFs are very expensive, and it makes no sense to buy cheap ones.
The main disadvantage of effective LED fog lights is their huge price and low efficiency..
The low efficiency is explained by the fact that a conventional LED produces light that is bright and pleasant to the human eye with a temperature of about 6000 K. This is not bad for head optics, but not for PTF. However, there are exceptions. For example, Osram LEDriving FOG 101 . A high-tech device with LEDs of a proprietary proprietary design with a color temperature of about 3000 K, which is just suitable for PTF.
Price - no less than 16,000 rubles.

Visual comparison of Bosch headlights with headlights
Kirzhach Our email is [email protected] We are on VKontakte.
Guys, if you don’t do anything with the Kirzhach, then God is certainly better, but I installed bi-xenon lenses and xenon in the Kirzhach. The question of which oil filter for vases is best to choose is asked by many car enthusiasts, and sometimes it is difficult to find an answer. I haven’t seen better light, I had both a Bosch and a Kirzhach. Which fog lights for the VAZ-2110 are better than Bosch or. The choice of fog lights for the VAZ-2110, which are the best headlights for the VAZ-2112. I advise everyone to do the same.
and become a pedestrian for six months...
After reading the comments, I understand that the original Bosch is the best option?)
Here is a good material about these 2 types of headlights www.luxvaz.ru/vaz-2110/112-fary.html
I actually had a Bosch, a regular headlight with reflectors. We choose which lamps to put in the headlights of the VAZ-2110. But I would like Kirzhach because You can install xenon there, and I would only go with it. When the engine is running, which brand of battery is better and which terminals. Which engines are suitable for the VAZ 2101 / tuning the VAZ 2101. Without xenon, Kirzhach is a dull city.
Good evening! Can I have a photo of how the headlights are?
That week I also had to face this problem “Bosch” or “Kirzhach.” After reading on the Internet and comparing the facts (a friend’s Bosch costs 10k) I brought the guys to the conclusion of buying a Bosch and not bothering with lenses and other nonsense. And I’ll say You DID NOT MISS in combination with PTF finally GOOD! Kirzhach not converted and without xenon (in stock) is an ASS.
Greetings! Please tell me. result if changed? Which is better, Bosch or Kirzhach? My relatives have Kirzhach on 10k, I’m not happy with the light ((. I’m thinking, is it worth remodeling it or not bothering to buy a Bosch? Thanks in advance...
Clean the lens, set the Philips to 100% brightness but not more than 55 watts. Which tires are better for a Priora? Tire sizes for Lada Priora rims and the correct choice of tires. I liked Kirzhach better, to be honest
Question from this guy: I want to try to install 100-watt lamps on the far one! I wonder what the outcome will be? Will the wiring burn out or will the mirror melt? Do I need to install a more powerful predak? Who has what
thoughts?
