Do-it-yourself VAZ 2110 headlight repair Do-it-yourself VAZ 2110 headlight repair

Farah Kirzhach

Many motorists, faced with malfunctions of the VAZ 2110 headlight, try to repair the headlight themselves, so to speak, with their own hands, or to improve the performance of the headlight, expanding its capabilities. However, finding high-quality optics is not so easy. Most often, cheap headlights from China or Taiwan come onto the market. Especially xenon headlights or lamps. They do not shine with quality workmanship, and durability leaves much to be desired; according to test results, they are inferior to standard classic copies. The price of high-quality illuminators is considerable, however, they last several times longer. You can make repairs or modifications to the optics that you already have if you want to save money. You can easily do this yourself; the work does not require special knowledge or additional skills. Headlights for the VAZ 2110 differ in technology and manufacturer. Standard headlight brands:

Bosch headlights (contain reflectors only, no focusing lens)
Headlights from Kirzhach (including a focusing lens and reflector)

The most common headlight malfunctions:

Broken hydraulic corrector, which is more practical to replace with an electric corrector;
Trembling of the light beam;
Lost adjustment of the light beam.

Tuning and repair of VAZ 2110

The information presented in this article will concern the disassembly of the VAZ 2110 headlight. Why do you need to disassemble the headlight?
In my case, I did this in order to insert the diode strip inside the headlight. This will also be useful for those whose headlights sweat. The reasons may be different. I will not describe how to remove a headlight from a VAZ 2110 in this article, since you can find detailed information about this HERE.

Well, let's get down to the process itself. In order to disassemble the VAZ 2110 headlight, you need to be patient. Since the parsing process is simple, but it can take a while.

First, let's look at how to disassemble the headlight of a VAZ 2110 (Kirzhach)

So, the first thing you need to do is remove the glass from the headlight. I consider this stage to be the longest and most dangerous. Dangerous because if you are not careful you can break the glass.

A) Insert a screwdriver or knife into the edge of the headlight, between the glass and the plastic block.

B) This will create a small gap through which you can insert a utility knife and begin cutting the sealant.

C) be careful, do not rush, do not insert the screwdriver too deeply, otherwise the headlight glass will simply crack.

D) We go through the entire perimeter of the headlight with a knife. If the sealant does not yield, you can warm up the headlight with a hairdryer.

D) When the sealant has been slightly trimmed around the entire perimeter of the headlight, you can carefully push the screwdriver deeper into the headlight or insert a thicker screwdriver.

E) And again we go through the entire contour with a knife. (I played with the first headlight for 2 hours, with the second one less, either I gained experience, or there was less sealant. The second one succumbed to me in half an hour).

G) When the glass has completely come off, remove it from the headlight. Be careful, as the glass caught on the chrome plastic inside the headlight. And then it is fastened behind the headlight with three bolts. Therefore, if this happens to you, pry it with a stationery knife so that it comes unstuck from the glass.

We've sorted out the glass, let's move on.

2. Remove the chrome insert. To do this, unscrew 3 bolts from behind the headlight.

3. If you need to remove the headlight module and reflector, then remove the spring through the hole for the hydraulic corrector.

4. Now tighten the adjustment screws as much as possible, insert the screwdriver handle and unscrew the adjustment screws.

5. Now you can remove the board from the plastic headlight housing.

That's all, now let's look at the analysis of the VAZ 2110 (Bosh) headlight . Everything is much simpler with her.

The glass on a Bosch headlight is very easy to remove, since it is not sealed with sealant. Unfasten the headlight latches.

3. To remove the reflector, you need to unscrew the adjustment screws and pull out the cap that covers the low beam bulb; to do this, pry it off with a screwdriver from the other side.

Repair

The design of the headlight is simple; a car enthusiast can easily carry out some types of repairs on his own step by step. Disassembling VAZ lamps:

Use a knife to remove the glass.
Use a screwdriver to unscrew the reflector bolts.
From the rear, remove all the wires and the hydraulic corrector spring.
Pull it towards you to remove the module.

After 3–5 years, the rear lights, like the front lights, require major repairs or complete replacement. How to replace a VAZ 2110 headlight:

Disconnect the minus from the battery.
Unscrew the radiator grille from the car.
Unscrew the block mounting bolts.
On the reverse side, find the wire connectors and disconnect them.
Remove the hydraulic corrector.
Remove the trim from the outside of the headlight unit.
Unscrew the block itself and remove it from the car.

You can also repair the hydraulic corrector yourself. The block is a vulnerable part of the head optics of the VAZ 2110. The algorithm is as follows:

Remove the headlight.
Take the light bulbs out of it.
Pull out the glass (secured with sealant).
Remove the spring from the reflector.
Remove the reflector.
Identify the worn part and replace it.

Most often, the breakdown consists of a cracked plastic part of the part or a burst spring. Assembly is carried out in reverse order.

Repair of headlight unit for VAZ-2110 car

The VAZ-2110 can be equipped with a Bosch or “Avtosvet” type headlight unit.

Headlight units vary in design.

Low beam headlight "Avtosvet" - with a flat screen and a lens between the lamp and the lens, the lens of the headlight unit is glued to the body, the side light lamp is located in the main beam headlight.

Bosch low beam headlight - without a lens, with a screen-cap on the lamp, side light lamp - in the low beam headlight.

The turn indicators for both headlight units are the same, the mounting points are the same: at the top - with bolts to the upper cross member of the radiator frame, at the bottom - with a nut to the stud on the mudguard bracket and a bolt - to the radiator frame strut.

The headlights are equipped with single-filament low and high beam lamps.

When you turn on the low beam of the headlights, the low beam lamps light up, and when you turn on the high beam, all the lamps (both low and high beam) light up.

The voltage for the low and high beam lamps is supplied respectively through relays K4 and K5 of type 904.3747-10, located in the mounting block.

The relay switching voltage at a temperature of 20±5°C is no more than 8 V, the winding resistance is 85±8.5 Ohms.

Voltage is supplied to the relay windings if the exterior lighting switch key is fully pressed (then the choice between low and high beams depends on the position of the steering column headlight switch) or, regardless of the position of the switch, if the driver pulls the steering column switch towards himself (then the high beam turns on headlights).

Eliminating headlight shake

Many owners of the VAZ 2110 find that the light flickers when the car is moving. Such a breakdown most often occurs in Kirzhach headlights, but in Bosch parts such a breakdown rarely occurs. There is only one reason: reflector rattling. To eliminate light flicker, check:

Is the reflector in place in the latch;
The presence of an adjusting bolt rod;
The emphasis is on the seating recess of the hydraulic corrector rod;
We check the sagging of the thread (swap the high beam and low beam bulbs);
Integrity of the tube in the hydraulic corrector (it may fray).

The most successful ways to eliminate jitter:

We replace the hydraulic corrector with an electric corrector;
We increase the length of the hydraulic corrector rod to tighten the spring.

This method allows you to get rid of light flicker by placing a cap on the hydraulic corrector rod.

Instead of a cap, use:

Plastic dowel, eight millimeters long;
The cap removed from the brake fitting;
Different plastic cap.

Here's what we do:

We remove the hydrocorrector itself from the illuminator;
Place the cap tightly on the corrector rod. The main thing is that the cap does not jump inward;
Install the corrector into the mounting socket

Removing and disassembling the headlamp, replacing lamps

Disconnect the negative cable from the battery.

Disconnect the two electrical connectors of the headlight unit.

Using a 10mm wrench, unscrew the two bolts of the upper headlight mounting.

Remove the radiator grille.

Unscrew the lower mounting bolt.

Carefully pry off the decorative trim with a screwdriver.

We move the trim to the center of the car and remove it.

Using a 10mm socket, unscrew the nut securing the headlight unit to the bracket

Replacing an element manually

What to do if the hazard lights don’t work, the low beams are off, the brake stop doesn’t work? If the brake lights do not light up and the headlights do not work, first of all you need to check the functionality of the relays responsible for their functionality. The performance of the lamps themselves is also checked - often they are the reason for the lack of lighting. If everything is in order with them, the problem will in any case lie in the electrical part.

Installing xenon on a VAZ 2110 will provide better lighting for the car. To make the car have an original appearance, you can connect the DRL and tune this element of optics. We have already written about how to change and connect daytime running lights in this article.

As for replacing the lights on the “ten”, it is carried out as follows:

First you need to disconnect the wiring from the lights, and then dismantle the upper radiator grille, to do this, unscrew several bolts using a 10mm wrench.
Next, you need to disconnect the wiring from the turn signal elements and dismantle the hydraulic corrector device. To do this, press the latch and rotate the device 90 degrees clockwise.
Unscrew the three screws securing the optics using a wrench, the headlight can be moved back. Move the so-called eyelash of the optic a few cm, moving it beyond the edge from engagement with the wing.
After these steps, you can loosen the two screws of the upper buffer clamp. Remove the so-called eyelash.
Now all you have to do is unscrew the last fixing nut with a wrench, after which the lamp can be lifted and removed. If necessary, the headlight is repaired or tuned.

Sorry, there are no surveys available at this time.

Headlights for VAZ 2110

Poor quality light causes accidents. You need to know how to select and repair headlights on a VAZ 2110, since the car is popular and such questions arise often. The lighting function in a car is performed by all kinds of devices. Well-chosen head lighting will reduce the number of dangerous situations on the road.

There are few factory options:

Kirzhach (cost from 2500 rubles);
Bosch (about 3000 rubles).

Choosing a headlight manufacturer for VAZ

Light is very necessary for the driver. Products from the first company with a lens for near and a reflector for far. Bosch only has a reflector. In “Kirzhachnaya” the light line is clearer, and devices from this company make it possible to equip cars with xenon elements. Products from the second manufacturer do not have this option; they are characterized by slight illumination from the side under the low beam. But preference is often given to them. They have a larger overall surface; their low beam reflector is better in cloudy weather conditions.

Correct adjustment of the devices is important; they must be cleaned of dirt. The “Kirzhach” ones are secured with a sealant, the second ones with a sealant, they are easier to replace.

The best choice is bright halogen lamps.

You can improve and modernize light devices (headlights for VAZ) by cleaning them. Adhering dust is unnoticeable, but it greatly degrades the light, this also applies to more noticeable dirt and swamps.

A jet headlight washer is also installed; it is not available in the factory version. Volgovsky ones will fit perfectly. The jet headlight washer is installed as follows: remove the bumper, make holes, push in the washer modules, tighten the fasteners. The tubes are connected to the washer tank. They connect the button and the fuse for the device, they are located in the cabin.

In addition, the glass of the device is carefully inspected for cracks; if there are any, there is only one solution - replacement. Pull out the block by disconnecting the minus terminal from the battery. The device is cleaned as follows: using a construction hairdryer, the sealant is carefully softened around the edges, then the glass is pryed up and removed. The sealed mixture is removed, the glass and frame are degreased, a fresh sealed mixture is applied, and the device is carefully pressed into place.

An unusable peeling reflector must be replaced: the glass covering of the frame is removed, the lamp is unscrewed and taken out, then the reflector is removed, then a working reflector is mounted, and the device is assembled.

Simple lamps are being replaced with halogen lamps; they are brighter, more economical and more durable. They can also be replaced with xenon; such devices have different power and brightness. Install daytime running lights. You should only use those models that are recommended for the car.

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.

Washer: main aspects

Many drivers install jet headlight washers themselves. You can choose OFS-12P.

for this you need:

up to 4 m of hose;
about 15 worm clamps;
relay, fuse with holder, terminals, wiring.

The washer reservoir has two pumps, but another additional one is mounted, which is connected to the battery via a relay and fuse. The jet headlight washer is connected to hoses and wiring. Its operating time is dosed manually.

Good light clearly illuminates surfaces and objects, and has a direction that does not blind oncoming motorists. This will ensure high-quality adjustment; there are rotating screws for it that fix the device horizontally and vertically. The best way to do this is to use mobile light devices, and also use a screen.

Video “Replacing optics in 2110”

Detailed instructions for this process are given below (author - channel In Sandro's Garage).

The use of a hydraulic headlight corrector in modern VAZ models made it possible to provide light at the desired angle, regardless of the operating conditions of the vehicle. When the rear of a model without hydraulic corrector is loaded, the headlights blind drivers of oncoming cars. At the same time, the road surface is less illuminated, which directly affects safety while driving. Let's look at how to repair or replace a device yourself.

Fog light

A very useful device, provides light in bad weather environments. The factory version is supplied for the VAZ 2110 “Lux” configuration. In other versions you need to install them yourself. At the same time, the place in which they will be placed is determined. Most often, this is the bottom of the bumper, there are holes for fastenings.

transparent - they give light in spots, they are a little worse;
corrugated - scatter light well on the road surface.

They purchase frames, relays, a power button, and wires for them. The latter are placed under the hood from the instrument panel, they are connected to the connectors on the instruments, they are isolated, the instruments are fixed in frames and secured to the bumper, and the wires are connected. The button is mounted in the break of the supply wire. Then the devices are adjusted.

How to adjust headlights with your own hands: adjusting low beam and PTF

While operating a car, almost every driver had to look for a solution to such a common problem as improper functioning of headlights. Incorrectly adjusted headlights significantly reduce visibility in poor conditions or at night.

Another danger is that your car may not be seen in time from afar by drivers of vehicles moving in the oncoming lane.

How can you adjust headlights?

You can adjust the headlights using one of three methods. You can contact those craftsmen who work in a car service center and use a special device to adjust the headlights. Well, what is convenient for many, is to do this work manually.

Many are confident (and it must be said in vain) that it is impossible to perform such a procedure with one’s own hands, since without the appropriate knowledge and skills it will be difficult to avoid mistakes during the setup process. But what if there is no special equipment, and it is not possible to contact specialists in a timely manner? Well, you should arm yourself with knowledge of certain rules for adjusting the light. So, how is such an important procedure carried out, setting up and adjusting the headlights with your own hands? Experts talk about three most important stages of this process:

making markings according to certain patterns on the wall;
marking the position of the lamps;
directly adjusting the light itself.

The fact is that the direction of light will directly depend on the following important factors :

car tire pressure;
serviceability of suspension springs of a passenger car;
the load on the suspension, or rather its distribution.

If your vehicle is faulty and has one of these problems, you may have your headlights set at the wrong angle. Accordingly, adjusting the headlights yourself will most likely be done poorly. Some manage to make things even worse than they were before the adjustment began .

In order for the work to be completed to a sufficient degree of quality, you must comply with a number of important requirements :

You need a flat wall in front of which you can park the car. There should be 7-8 meters of free space in front of the wall.
Prepare chalk or duct tape. They are needed for marking.
Before tuning, try to mark the surface as carefully as possible, guided by the individual parameters of your car. Or - using universal values suitable for the prevailing number of passenger cars.

After “washing” a new car, it must be run in so that possible factory defects appear. An article about running in a new Lada Granta car with all the details and nuances.
Winter is coming, which means you need to prepare your car for the cold. Find out everything about preparing your car for winter.

Carrying out marking

Adjusting PTF or headlights is a responsible process, but not as complicated as it might seem at first glance. First, you should drive up to the wall at a distance of about 2 meters and mark the center of the axes of the headlight lamps on the wall. Then you need to drive off to a distance of approximately 7.5 m.

The dots marking the center of each of your headlight bulbs need to be connected with a line. Next, complement this horizontal line with a vertical one : it will connect to the point indicating the central part of your car. You will also need an additional marking line. It will run parallel to the line that connects the center points of your headlight bulbs. This additional line should be placed lower, at a distance of approximately 6-7 centimeters.

The wall marking is complete, it's time to move on to the setup phase itself. Turn on the low beam. You need the right beam of light - gradually and carefully tighten the adjustment screws. They can be found under the hood of a passenger car, on the back of the headlights. Ideally, the light will be positioned lower than the point on the wall that marks the center of your headlight bulbs. (that is, “near-high beam”) can be adjusted

If the “far and near” are separate, then you will have to adjust the light separately, according to different schemes. Accordingly, the markup will be slightly different. Although, adjusting the low beam headlights will be done according to the method described above. If you are adjusting the high beam headlights, you need to ensure that the beam of light falls exactly on the center of the marking. However, it should be said that manually, even with the most careful adjustment, the result will still be slightly inferior to adjusting the headlights using special equipment.

Daytime running lights for VAZ 2110 headlights

For daytime running lights (they consist of LEDs and LED devices) there are several location options:

at the bottom of the radiator grille;
inside the top or bottom of the radiator lining (for diode strip);
the perimeter of the cladding is decorated with individual devices;
installation of LED strips or individual devices inside headlights;
directly in front of the headlights.

Only the last two options fit the technical standards. Daytime running lights have nothing to do with side lights; their job is simply to improve the light. You can design both the front and rear headlights this way.

Changing the type of optics (tuning)

Car enthusiasts often tune their car headlights to improve their appearance. High-quality tuning gives the car a fashionable look and beauty. If you choose the right accessory, the appearance of dozens will change completely . The most popular among car enthusiasts is tuning headlights in the form of tinting. It is carried out in a variety of ways that have virtually no effect on the brightness and quality of road lighting. Types of headlight tinting:

Painting of the headlight mask;
Glass painting;
Glass tinting film.

The process of such tinting is best shown in a video. For those who don't want to paint or tint their headlights themselves, there are ProSport headlights. They are already sold in black or chrome. You just need to install them instead of the standard headlights. Only they cannot boast of high quality or bright light.

Rear light tuning

We offer one of the options. For this you will need:

LEDs;
knife;
organic glass;
tape measure, ruler, flexible meter;
pencil, compass (marking);
resistors, silicone.

Here's how to remove the headlights: the devices are disassembled, the glass is fixed by soldering, not glue, so the corner is cut off. When the knife is inside, the glass is removed. Then the headlight parameters are determined and plexiglass blanks are made from them. Holes are marked, drilled, diodes are glued in with superglue, resistors are soldered in, and then the whole thing is sealed with silicone glue. Then everything is assembled and glued, the seams are sealed with a silicone compound, thanks to which water will not get in there.

Design features

The design of the hydraulic corrector includes the following components:

The master cylinder, which is mounted on the dashboard;
Actuator cylinders, which are mounted on the headlights and turn them;
Connecting pipelines of the hydraulic corrector, fixed with clamps;
A working fluid that is characterized by increased frost resistance.

A hydraulic corrector works like this: a normal, working corrector maintains the pressure required for operation. If the driver needs to direct the headlights downwards, then the pressure in the system decreases. In this case, the rod turns the optics down using a piston. If the liquid leaks, the corrector pistons are fixed in one position, and adjusting the direction of the headlights becomes impossible.

Installation and selection of bi-xenon devices on the VAZ 2110

There are many options for Chinese or Taiwanese headlights on the market; they are worse than branded ones, but they can be used on a VAZ 2110. Installing a bi-xenon module will be better than a simple brick light. The module is chosen with wide lenses. They recommend the BMWE 60 lens system, it is high quality and practical.

To replace, you need lenses (2 pcs.), a set of ignition devices (2 pcs.) and xenon lamps, ignitors - 2 pcs.

An alternative solution to xenon is LEDs, they are cheaper.

Installation of xenon on a VAZ 2110 includes the following activities:

adjusting the landing site for new devices;
fixing the power supply in a suitable place (there are many grooves in the machine; any recess is chosen that is reliable);
the electrical wiring and its circuit are the same, the devices are connected in the same way as conventional ones;
The installation angle is checked and adjusted.

Types of breakdowns of VAZ 2110 lighting devices:

malfunction of the hydraulic corrector (replace with an electric corrector);
vibrations, trembling;
poor adjustment;

If a malfunction of the hydraulic corrector is detected, you must first remove the headlight. Those. glass elements, clamps and bobbins are dismantled and removed, old sealants are removed. Then the sloping glass build-up is cut off (it is U-shaped) and the screws and the paper reflector itself are removed from the inside.

Next, the spring is removed near the hole in the hydraulic corrector and the rosette of the reflective “spinners”. The ball is snapped into place, and the bobbin is also snapped into the groove; this will prevent the adjustment from being too unscrewed. If you overdo it, the metal latch will break, the ball will fall out, and so will the headlight. The essence of the work is to replace the unusable metal element with a gasket. Suitable for plumbing, but it also won’t let you see when the adjustment has reached the extreme position, so they modify it: insert a wire cotter pin between the petals of the plastic part. Reassembly is performed and new sealant is applied.

Another method for VAZ 2110:

the screws for adjusting the headlights are equipped with a new M3 thread;
screwed into the device, washers are installed;
remove the plastic fasteners, fix the headlight modules;
a washer is fixed at the top, a spring element, a washer again, a lock nut is used, everything is tightened, fixed with an anaerobic sealed mixture.

Adjustment Guide

How to connect and set up daytime running lights if the headlights don’t shine well, what to do if the stop light doesn’t light up or the low beam doesn’t light up?

Adjusting the headlights of a VAZ 2110 with your own hands is done in two stages; first, it will be useful for you to learn how to disassemble a headlight of a VAZ 2110:

First of all, do not forget to remove the terminals from the battery.
Next, the headlights on the VAZ 2110 are removed. You need to remove the glass in your car, separating it from the sealed base; for this, the optics must be preheated using a hair dryer. After heating, the structure of the stops or DRLs on the VAZ 2110 must be cut with a knife. If you need to replace the headlight glass, you can change it at this stage.
Then a convex profile in the shape of the letter P should be cut on the lens.
After these steps, the paper reflective element is dismantled - to do this, unscrew the three small screws located on the back side. In the area of the hydraulic corrector you can see a spring.
The next step will be to remove the spring and several plastic so-called rosettes that secure the reflective element using the method of holding them.
The ball at the end of the reflective element should be snapped into place.
Next, you need to snap the metal coil into the second groove, this will prevent the adjusting element from being unscrewed beyond the fastening. If the hydraulic corrector is twisted very tightly, this will lead to deformation of the steel limiter. The ball may come out of the plastic, and the optics will simply fall.

Designation of headlight elements

We figured out how to remove the headlight on a VAZ 2110. It should be borne in mind that when twisting the corrector of the correcting element, you will be faced with the need to replace the broken steel part with a rubber gasket, like the one used in plumbing. This solution cannot be called the most optimal, since due to the presence of a gasket, you will not be able to understand when the adjusted optics were adjusted to the extreme position.

Accordingly, in order for the light to burn and not disappear, you will have to twist the corrector again. To prevent this, adjusting the headlights of the VAZ 2110 should include another lock, for example, a wire pin, which can be installed between the petals of the above-mentioned rose. The entire structure must be disassembled carefully. Before connecting the adjusted optics, you need to clean off any remaining sealant and coat the perimeter of the headlight with a new layer. Before removing the headlight on a VAZ 2110 and working with electrics, the battery should be disconnected.

Removing faults without disassembling headlights

Fixing the ball in plastic can be done without removing the glass parts, through the holes for replacing lamps on the back side.

Those. a hole is made opposite the latch on top of the device and a screwdriver is pushed into it, the adjusting part is snapped onto the ball and the hole is sealed. Next, take a loop to fix it on the furniture wall. It is about 5 cm in size and has holes for fixing on furniture, a groove on top for fixing the wall. The canopy is inserted into the groove of the adjusting screw, it moves and the groove ends up in a narrow area of the canopy.

Then the bolt is turned out strongly, but the canopy is held in place. In this way it is fixed and positioned horizontally.

A 3 mm hole is drilled in the base of the metal device in a place that coincides with the canopy hole, a not very long self-tapping screw is fixed there, it should not rest against the reflector. Basically, such a slot secures the screw securely and it will not break.

We repair the light fixture without disassembling it

You can snap the ball into place without removing the glass, through the holes of the light bulbs on the back side of the illuminator:

We drill a hole exactly opposite the latch at the top of the headlight;
Insert a screwdriver into the hole;
Attach the collet to the corrector ball;
We seal the hole we drilled;
We attach a hinged loop from a furniture cabinet (hinges 5-6 centimeters long, with mounting holes and a cutout on top on which it is attached) to each broken corrector unit;
We insert the canopy into the slot of the adjustment screw;
We move the screw so that the slot is in a narrow place of the canopy;
Holding the canopy, unscrew the screw until it stops with force. This is how the canopy is fixed, which needs to be placed in a horizontal position;
Using an electric drill, using a 3 mm drill, we make a hole in the base of the light where there is a hole on the canopy;
We screw a shortened screw into the hole so that it does not reach the high beam reflector. This slot secures the adjustment screw securely; it can be broken again.

Additional points

Sometimes it is necessary to correct the vibration of the VAZ 2110 headlights. More often, Kirzhach products suffer from this. The reason for this is poor fixation of the headlight reflector.

At the same time they believe:

is the reflector latched, is the adjustment rod in good working order;
the hydraulic corrector rod must be in place for landing;
the filament in the lamp should not sag;
Is the corrector tube working?

Elimination and repair involve installing an electric corrector instead of a hydraulic corrector and lengthening the corrector rod. This action will tension the spring. Next, a cap is put on the rod. This is an 8 mm plastic dowel or similar parts. The corrector is pulled out, the cap is fixed to the rod, care is taken that it does not slip, everything is inserted back.

If you intend to replace the VAZ 2110 lighting fixtures, then first remove: the wire of the (negative) battery terminal, the radiator grid and the wire block. Next, the latch on the cylinder is pressed, turned clockwise 90 degrees against the stop, and the cylinder is pulled out without touching the hoses themselves.

Then they unscrew the fastening, move the module back, and the trim to the center of the car (to do this, loosen the bolts on the upper buffer, push it forward) by 4 cm - its hook will come out of the hitch from the fender.

Next, the area at the bottom of the lining is pressed, the flange comes out of the hook and the lining is completely removed. Unscrew the nut of the device from below, the block is disconnected from the turn signal and the device is moved toward you, and then removed. The headlight is disconnected from the turn signal, and the hooks from the hook with the optics are placed on the frame. Finally, reassemble and install in reverse order.

Often they also do tinting, i.e. tuning of VAZ 2110 optics. It can be different and consists of painting the mask, glasses, and processing with a film coating.

ProSport tuning devices, black and chrome, are already on sale. The choice is up to you.

How to repair a device

During the DIY repair process, you will need to make some parts and consumables yourself.

Tools

From the tool you need to prepare:

Screwdrivers.
Metalworking machine.
Plastic dowels that will serve as a cap.
Washers.
Anaerobic sealant.

Description of the repair process with photos

Repairs vary depending on the type of fault. In most cases, factory headlight mounts are replaced with homemade ones, and the cylinder rod is also lengthened .

We cut the metric thread into 3 on the adjustment screws.

The adjustment screws have metric threads.

Remove the plastic fasteners from the hydraulic corrector bolt

Using 2 washers and a spring, we make a reliable mount for the hydraulic corrector

How to extend the stem

If you want to expand the lighting of the road next to your car, it makes sense to lengthen the rod. This will allow you to change the position of the headlight. You will need to use a plastic tip 7-8 mm long. We recommend using a regular dowel of a suitable diameter. It is secured to the top of the stem with glue or sealant.

Adjusting headlights VAZ 2110

Quite often, motorists have to deal with such a problem as damage to the headlight glass. As a rule, assembled headlight units are installed on VAZ cars. It is sealed, the glass is firmly glued to the body, and many car enthusiasts, if the glazing is damaged, simply replace the headlight assembly. Such repair of VAZ-21099 headlights, like other models (2105, 2107, 2108, 2109, etc.), as they say, “will cost a pretty penny.” A more profitable option is to replace the glazing. This procedure is easy to do yourself.

Optics of the legendary “Ten”: which headlights should you prefer?

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.

Replacement of headlight glass VAZ -2105 (2107) and 2108 (2109, 21099)

If the glazing of a VAZ-2107 or VAZ-2105 headlight is damaged, the headlights are repaired by replacing the glass.
To do this, we buy new glazing, sealant, prepare the appropriate tools and gloves. Experts advise using a colorless adhesive sealant, such as ABRD. Repair of VAZ-2107 (2105) headlights by replacing damaged glass is carried out in the following order:

We remove the headlight and remove the sealant.
For convenience, unscrew the black plastic holder located on top of the block.
Carefully remove the damaged glass and its fragments.
We remove the remaining sealant from the case, but you need to be careful, as small fragments may remain on it.
We clean and degrease the housing grooves in which the glass is placed.
Fill the grease-free areas with sealant.
We take new glass and seal the sides around the perimeter with tape. This is necessary in order not to stain the glazing with sealant.
Carefully insert the new glass and seal the top with sealant. At the same time, we control the absence of voids and air bubbles.
After gluing, it is recommended to press the glass against the body with a heavy object.
After drying, remove the tape and remove the remaining sealant around the perimeter of the case.
We install the headlight block on the car.

You can repair a VAZ-2109 headlight if the glazing is damaged directly on the car. To do this, you will need a minimum of tools and materials: new glass, colorless sealant, a knife, gloves and napkins.

First, carefully tear off the remaining glass from the headlight housing.
Use a knife to completely remove the old sealant from the body.
We wipe the headlight reflector from dust and dirt.
We degrease the edge of the case around the perimeter where the glass will be glued.
We take new glazing and apply a thick layer of sealant into the grooves on the inside, without voids or gaps.
Carefully apply the glass to the body and press firmly.
In just 5 minutes the headlight will be ready for use.

As you can see, this procedure is quite simple and does not take much time. Therefore, if you have such a problem on the road, repair of VAZ-2108 or 21099 headlights can be done right on the spot, if you have spare glass and sealant.

Reasons for replacement

Replacing glass on a VAZ 2110 headlight

Why do you need to change the glass on your headlights? Here are just a few reasons:

A separate glass will cost much less than a whole headlight, and the reason why you have to replace the glass is a small stone that hits and breaks the headlight glass. A crack in the glass causes the headlight to shine dimly and the road illumination becomes poor at night.
Over time, the glass of your car's headlights can become significantly dull, which also leads to poor road illumination at night. Polishing the glass is unlikely to help in this situation; it is much easier to buy new glass and replace it on the headlights.
The easiest way is to find glass for a headlight on the private market and buy it second-hand. It will be much cheaper than in a store, and it’s not profitable to buy the headlight itself in auto stores; it will cost at least five thousand rubles for each headlight.
The headlights fog up and do not have time to dry on short trips. A regular flashlight may sweat, but it dries completely after a short trip. If this does not happen, it means moisture is somehow getting into the headlight. This can happen either through a damaged case or through a crack in the glass.

Repair of optics on classic 2106

If the light bulbs fail, repair of VAZ-2106 headlights is carried out in the following order.

We de-energize the car.
Use a flat-head screwdriver to remove the black plastic sidelight.
Using a Phillips screwdriver, unscrew the screws securing the iron headlight rim so that you can turn it.
Turn the rim clockwise to the removal position and remove it.
After this, the headlight is removed.
Carefully disconnect the power plug.
Remove the clamp and take out the faulty light bulb.
We install a new lamp and mount the headlight in the reverse order.

Principle of step-by-step action

Let's start removing the lamp from the headlight unit. To do this, we need a thin screwdriver and an awl, as well as a magnet on a long handle (if possible). We unscrew the lamp protection box on the headlight unit on both sides by hand.

Remove the cover. Below it you can see the three-pin headlight power connection block, as well as the spring mechanism of the lamp holder.

Replacing the low beam bulb on a VAZ 2114 Before disconnecting this unit, you need to disconnect the contact block. Then you need to compress the lamp fastening spring and release the lighting element itself. With a slight movement of the hand, we remove the lamp from its standard mounting location and replace it in the reverse order.

Before changing the low beam bulb on a VAZ 2114, it is advisable to make sure that there is no condensation in the reflector unit. If moisture is present, this may be the main reason for the failure of this device.

To eliminate it, it is important to clean the drainage channel, which is located in the area where the turning lamp is mounted (left or right)

When performing this work, you must adhere to basic safety rules. When the lights for the VAZ 2114 stop shining on the road, you don’t need to stand on the side of the road, creating an emergency situation, but try to get to the nearest gas station or service station.

Tuning headlights Kirzhach

The uniqueness of Kirzhach headlights is that with a little modification their glow can be significantly improved. By changing individual elements, experienced car enthusiasts expand the light output and make it brighter. To repair the Kirzhach VAZ-2110 (2112) headlight, first remove it, then disassemble it in the following order:

Particular attention should be paid to removing the glass. It is glued to the sealant, so you first need to heat the sealant with a hairdryer, and then carefully remove the glass using a sharp knife.
Unscrew the 3 bolts and remove the reflective gasket.
There is no need to remove all the internals, or completely disassemble the modules. For modernization, we only need low beam units. We unscrew them using a screwdriver.

Repair of the VAZ-2110 (2112) headlight unit by modification can be performed in various ways:

Moving the lens.Repairing headlights 2110 (2112) by shifting the lens towards the reflector will lead to a decrease in the curvature of the reflection area. Thus, the angle of incidence and reflection of the rays will change for the better. It should be remembered that excessive lens displacement can lead to overheating. An offset of 10 mm is optimal.
We saw off and make cuts for fastening.
We attach the lens to the module.

Such repair of the VAZ-2112 (2110) headlight will make the module shorter. Accordingly, the luminous flux will increase in width and height.

2. Sewing the modular ring . In the standard version, the edges of the modular ring, which are located under the lens, cover the light flux. If you repair VAZ-2110 (2112) headlights by grinding off the ring by 1 mm, you can increase the luminous flux by 10-15%. This procedure will not affect the strength of the module structure.

3. Changing the shape of the reflector. Repairing headlights 2112 (2110) by changing the shape of the reflector will increase the width of the luminous flux of the headlights. The reflector has a round shape and is made by stamping from sheet metal. If you squeeze it with your hand, resting it on the floor, you get an oval.

It must be remembered that the width of the flattened part should be no more than 93.2 mm. Otherwise, the light beam will be severely deformed. In order for all the fastenings to match, the reflector fastening should also be made oval.

All these modifications can be done either individually or in combination. In any case, after the modernization is completed, it will be necessary to repair the headlight adjustment of the VAZ-2110 (2112).

Remember that unqualified modifications can lead to disastrous consequences. If you are unsure of your capabilities, entrust the issues of modernizing your car to professionals.

Step-by-step removal of headlights

Whatever manufacturer makes the light unit, every car owner should know exactly how to remove the headlight on a VAZ-2110 before starting work. It is carried out in stages:

Having opened the hood, you need to disconnect the “–” terminal from the battery in order to completely cut off the power to the car;
it is necessary to remove the protective lining from the radiator very carefully and slowly;
lighting devices are disconnected from the block and wires;
The fixing element of the hydraulic corrector must be pressed tightly and turned to the right at a right angle. Next, the hydraulic corrector is simply removed from the socket, and there is no need to unscrew the connecting hoses;
using a wrench of the appropriate size, unscrew the bolts securing the headlight in order to be able to move the block to the side;
the fixation of the upper connecting bolts that hold the car bumper is weakened;
by pressing on the lining, you need to ensure that the flange is disconnected from the buffer so that the lining can be freely removed;
the lower headlight clamp is unscrewed;
The reflector must be disconnected from the block and the block can be quietly pulled out by pulling it towards you.

If the removal of headlights is carried out step by step and according to the rules, then you will not break parts, but installing new parts or repairing old ones, and maybe even making original tuning, is within the power of anyone. You can learn more about the algorithm of actions in the video, which was made by professional machine masters.

The headlight unit can be dismantled for repair, replacement with a new one, or for tuning or modification. In this article we will talk about the removal and disassembly of a VAZ headlight of the tenth family, depending on its manufacturer (Bosch or Kirzhach).

Adjusting headlights on a VAZ

Headlights should provide the most comfortable conditions for driving while at the same time not blinding oncoming drivers. To adjust the luminous flux, special screws are provided on the headlight housing. For example, for a VAZ-2115 headlight, repair by adjusting the luminous flux is provided by two screws, which are located in the upper part of the unit body. By rotating the left screw, the angle of inclination of the optics in the vertical plane changes. The right screw allows you to shift the direction of the light horizontally. The design of the VAZ-2114 headlights is the same, the adjustment of which is repaired in the same way.

You can adjust the headlights yourself using a special screen. A fully equipped car with standard tire pressure and a load in the driver's seat of 70-80 kg must be placed on a flat horizontal platform perpendicular to a wall or a specially constructed shield-screen at a distance of 5 m. Make markings on the wall or screen in the form of three vertical lines :

“O” - along the axis of the car;
“L” - center of the left headlight;
“P” is the center of the right headlight.

Draw a horizontal line at a distance from the floor to the center of the headlights. Then, 65 mm below it, draw another horizontal line “P”.

Adjusting the headlights:

Cover the right headlight with cardboard and turn on the low beam.
Using the adjusting screws, we set the center of the light beam of the left headlight (the intersection of the inclined and horizontal sections) to the point of intersection of the lines “L” and “R”. In this case, the upper limit of the luminous flux should coincide with the lower line “P”.
We adjust the right headlight in the same way.

Which ones to choose

Domestic headlights Kirzhach

produces headlights for the VAZ Kirzhach. Standard equipment of the headlamp unit:

glass;
reflector;
hydrocorrector;
hydraulic corrector springs;
lenses included;
curtains;
standard lamps with H1 socket;
fastening screws.

The main advantage of the Russian model is its affordable price. Additional benefits include:

Available in any store in Russia.
Provide good visibility at night.
Improved brightness.
Possibility of installing xenon.

Among the disadvantages, sometimes they note a not very clear glow and the need to additionally adjust the DRLs.

Headlights made by Bosch

Lighting devices from a well-known German company are included in the line of standard VAZ optics and are recommended as a replacement. Advantages:

Expanded reflector surface (Bosch headlights shine well in bad weather).
Optimal lighting brightness.
The price is 10–20% lower than that of Kirzhach.

Otherwise, only disadvantages are noted, especially in comparison with domestic products:

"Bosch" are deprived of the possibility of tuning (for example, it is problematic to install xenon optics on them).
Low beam has worse illumination.

The service life is similar to the Russian model.

Tuning with a plastic tube

To complete the work, you need a set of tools, as well as materials for manufacturing: a jar suitable for the diameter of the headlight, LED strips, resistors, transparent plexiglass sticks.

Having prepared everything for work, we step by step:

Heat the tube with a hairdryer, bend it around the can using pliers, this is the diameter of the headlight.
Let cool and saw off excess.
Assemble LEDs and resistors.
Sand the edges of the tube and drill holes at the ends.
Use a hacksaw to make notches on the inside of the tube.
Fix the LEDs in the holes and remove the contacts.
Apply sealant to the structure and secure it around the headlight lens.

Choosing an optical system for Lada 2110

One of the most popular models of optical systems on the market today is the “Pro sport” system.

However, this model of headlights has a number of disadvantages that cannot be left unnoticed, since the safety of both the driver and passengers directly depends on the quality of the lighting emitted by the car. Based on reviews on the Internet, we can conclude that the “Pro sport” headlight emits low quality lighting and is unable to properly provide visibility of the track at night. Therefore, it is worth considering purchasing a Kirzhach headlight.

Example of headlight packaging

After unpacking the headlights and checking the package, the question arises: “Where to start?” In this case, You Tube will be your best assistant. On this site you can find many interesting videos on the topics of tuning headlights, fine-tuning lights, etc. Even if these videos differ from your vision of the work process, do not be upset, since each master uses a variety of approaches and materials in his work. Your task in this case is to emphasize for yourself the basic principles and approaches to installing headlights and get a high level of motivation, since without it it will be very difficult to achieve the desired result.
