Traffic rules prohibit with faulty low beam headlights or without side lights in the dark or when there is insufficient visibility on the road .
The rear lights have a Renault Logan combined bulb (with 2 filaments).
In it, the side lights are connected to the brake signal. Its failure is fraught with big troubles. Turn signals can be given by hand, but the trouble is that not all drivers are able to recognize them. Therefore, it is better to be ready to change any of the car’s lighting elements at any time of the day, right on the road. We will describe how to change the lamps in a car yourself .

On a note!
The low and high beam lamps installed in the car are halogen. This suggests that it is strictly not recommended to touch their flasks before installation and operation .
You will have a reasonable question: Why?! And we will answer you! Grease stains that your fingers leave on everything they touch, and in our case on a halogen lamp, have a very adverse effect on the service life of this very lamp. Everyone knows that such lighting devices have a very high temperature during operation, so if you accidentally touch your light bulb with your hands, you can rest assured that at the site of this contact, black soot will appear, which will subsequently dim and turn black even more, heating up the light bulb itself. flask, which can subsequently lead to its swelling and destruction.
Therefore, installation work should be carried out with gloves, and if this is not possible, then make sure that it is clean before installing the lamp.

Side light circuit
It's very easy to replace the side light bulb yourself.
In order to save fuel and reduce the load on the generator, daytime running lights are now often included in this circuit, which makes it quite complicated.

The standard wiring option is quite simple and consists of the following elements:
- circuit breakers;
- front and rear position lamps;
- central or key switch;
- Let's take a closer look at the first two elements.
Circuit breakers
Sometimes blown fuses are the reason why the side lights do not light up on one side or another.
There are usually two fuses in the circuit, for the left and right sides separately. Since the light bulbs consume little power (4-5 W each), the fuse rating is small, only 5-7.5 A.
Where are the side light fuses located?
In the same place as the others, in a single block. On most modern cars, this block is located under the instrument panel next to the steering column, or, more often, on the lower left, under a plastic trim.
In the latter case, it is enough to remove the cover protecting the unit, mounted on latches. On the back of the cover, as a rule, there is a sticker with information about which circuit this or that fuse protects, indicating its rating.
The biggest inconvenience in this case may be insufficient knowledge of the English language - it is in this language that inscriptions are usually made, even on Korean and Japanese cars.
Lamps
Externally, the headlight bulb is marked W5W, but today LED sidelight bulbs are increasingly used.
Their advantage over incandescent lamps is their greater durability, and the price of both largely depends on the manufacturer. The most famous products are Philips, Osram, Tesla.

Moreover, as the “Behind the Wheel” test showed, expensive products do not always justify their price.
Also, quite often, the front dimensions are equipped with light bulbs with a metal base, but this, one might say, is a thing of the past.
For rear position lights, the most common lamp is with two spirals - 21 and 5 (or 4) W.
The 21 W coil lights up when you press the brake, i.e. In this case, the light bulb serves as a brake light, while the lower power spiral works as a side light.
Just as with any other lamps, purchasing a more expensive product does not guarantee any exceptional durability.
The reliability and safety of Renault Logan is beyond doubt, as is the operation of all its systems. Decent lighting equipment is available for maintenance, and after carefully reading the recommendations, you can easily replace head lighting equipment yourself, including side lamps.

Possible malfunctions of the light switch and their elimination
In Renault Logan, the light switch becomes unusable from time to time. This usually occurs due to wiring problems. They may stop turning on all the lights at the same time, and, for example, only the side lights.
To fix this problem, you need to disconnect the negative from the battery, and then remove the cover from the steering wheel and unscrew the switch. Disconnect the terminal by pressing the clamp on both sides. Inspect the part to determine which wire has broken. Most often, this happens with black and red.

Choosing a manufacturer
Phillips lighting fixtures are factory installed in Renault. Elements in a standard installation show a long service life - up to 40,000 km. After replacement, a similar part will last up to 10,000 km.
Among the companies specializing in the production of H4 type car lights are:
- Philips;
- Narva;
- Osram;
- Bosch;
- Koito;
- LynxAuto;
- Tesla;
- Lighthouse;
- Dialuch.
Halogen optics from these manufacturers are characterized by high quality and good lighting properties. For Renault Logan lamps, a power of 55/60 W is provided. A separate package may include a technical mark +30/50%. This marking indicates an increase in luminous flux by a certain percentage.
When installing halogens marked +30/50%, it is necessary to adjust each headlight. This will ensure optimal light output without dazzling oncoming drivers.
