Which lamps are better to put in the headlights of a VAZ 2114: making a choice

Light on the road means comfort, visibility, safety of the driver, passengers and other road users. At the same time, the very quality of the light characteristics of the car’s front lights depends on two factors of the lighting unit: the diffuser and the reflector. Therefore, the light bulbs on the VAZ 2114 must be of high quality, regardless of the year of production of your particular car.

It is also worth mentioning the aesthetics of the glow of the “eyes” of your car, because this is the first thing that people see when they meet your car for the first time at night. Let's figure out how to choose the right “mirror of the soul” of the iron horse, what nuances you should know about.

Where can I find the backlight elements on the panel?

In addition to various light bulbs, the panel contains various stoves and cigarette lighters, so the lighting elements can be found on their other side. Let's say you want to find a stove lamp, then you will have to remove the antennae from it, which will be on small levers, then you will need to remove the plastic and this way we can get to the stove lamp, approximately the same situation with various cigarette lighters, but you can remove it You just can’t do that, you will need to puff a little and pull out the trim on the driver’s side and everything you need will be there : a socket, a cigarette lighter, a light bulb.

COMMON MALFUNCTIONS

In the mounting block, the cooling fan fuse often blows, as well as the cigarette lighter fuse on the VAZ 2114. The cigarette lighter on this VAZ model often shorts out on its own; you can call this a factory defect. Another reason for burnout is the installation of various devices of higher power in the cigarette lighter socket, for example, a compressor for inflating tires. But before changing the fuse for the VAZ 2114 cigarette lighter, you need to check the condition of the cigarette lighter socket itself. Often a device is inserted into the socket by twisting the plug, and the cigarette lighter block begins to dangle and short out. In this case, the wire going to the cigarette lighter may fray or break, and for this reason the fuse will constantly blow.

The fuse link (20A) of the cooling fan is also loaded with an audio signal, so you can determine a blown fuse F5 by the absence of a car horn. Another fuse link, responsible for the operation of the fan, is installed in the car interior next to the engine ECU under the dashboard. Fuses can blow due to a short circuit in the fan motor - standard fans are not very reliable and often fail.

Contacts often burn out and tracks on the mounting block burn out due to a short circuit in the electrical circuit. When moisture gets on the connector pads, the contacts oxidize. The power supply unit in the VAZ 2114 model is considered a rather weak element and requires repair or replacement. It should be noted that the mounting block 2114 is quite problematic to repair, so if a malfunction occurs in it, you should think about replacing it. The cost of a power supply unit for a front-wheel drive VAZ ranges from 2 thousand to 3 thousand rubles. But it’s better to replace a burnt-out unit than to go through the hassle of restoring it.

Often the central locking on VAZ 2113-2114-2115 cars refuses to work normally, and many drivers cannot determine the cause of the malfunction. The thing is that the central locking fuse is very cleverly installed in the electrical circuit of the car. In the area of the steering column on the wires there are two fuses in a holder, one of them responds to the activation of the central locking (15A). The contact in this clip oxidizes and the central locking system does not work. If an old-style cylindrical fuse-link is installed there, it is better to immediately change it to a new type of flat one.

Keep the mounting block clean, always close the protective cover!

During the operation of a VAZ 2114 car, a situation may arise when the cigarette lighter, windshield washers, fan and other elements of the electrical system stop functioning. In such a situation, the problem should be looked for first not in the devices, but in the fuses of the VAZ-2114 car. Most often, the device stops working because the fuses have blown. This also applies to the cigarette lighter.

Initially, the cigarette lighter was conceived exclusively for smokers, but today this element has a broader purpose. Cigarette lighters are used to charge phones, connect DVRs, Navigators and other devices.

If a small amount of current is required to recharge a phone or tablet, connecting more powerful devices may cause system failure. Such devices include:

compressors, car heaters; vacuum cleaners; autoboilers, etc..

Do-it-yourself headlight adjustment technology

The adjustment must be carried out on a flat surface without tilting. The test screen can be installed at a distance of 5-6 meters. If you don't have a screen, you can use a flat brick wall, a garage door, or a large sheet of plywood. Headlight glasses must be clean, without cracks or chips.

Also pay attention to the condition of the reflectors

The design of optical devices has two adjustment screws, one of which directs the light beam in a vertical position, and the other in a horizontal position. With their help, we make adjustments as indicated in the diagram.

The headlight beam should be directed by the adjusting screw to point E

For convenience, we draw vertical lines A, O and B on the wall with chalk. They will serve as the necessary guidelines when adjusting the optics. We also draw horizontal lines 1 and 2. The distance between them should be 65 centimeters.

Next, we go into the interior and set the headlight hydrocorrector control to position 0. This is necessary to eliminate the influence of the device on the luminous flux during adjustment. The regulator is located under the dashboard, to the right of the steering wheel.

The procedure is as follows:

We cover one headlight with dense material that does not transmit light.
We turn on the near one.
Open the hood and find the regulators on the back side of the headlight (in the figure below, numbered 1 and 2). One of them responds to the vertical movement of the light beam, and the second to the horizontal movement.
Using adjusting screws 1 and 2, we direct the beam of light to point E. We adjust the indicator to the desired value. By turning the screws counterclockwise or clockwise, we position the beam of light at the desired point
We repeat the procedure, turning on the high beams.
We carry out a similar adjustment for the other headlight.

Adjusting the headlights does not take much time, so in poor lighting, do not delay this procedure. When working, you should take the advice of experts. In this case, you can adjust the light beam as accurately as possible.

Alternative optics

Why do the headlights fog up from the inside and thereby spoil the appearance of the car? The fact is that glass allows moisture to pass through, as a result of which the contacts oxidize, and the lamp may simply burn out. Even if this does not happen, the glass will fog up, resulting in poor visibility on the road. Replacing the glass won't do anything. The result, if there is one, will only last for a short time.

Based on this, we can say that tuning the rear lights on a VAZ 2114 or 2109 and 21099, or the front lights, is more of a necessity than just an external change.

Alternative optics for VAZ 2109

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 terminal 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.

Replacing incandescent low beam lamps filled with xenon gas

During vehicle operation, drivers make frequent mistakes when replacing conventional incandescent lamps with xenon ones. Having installed such lamps, the reflector and ground clearance divider cannot cope with the strong flow of light rays, which leads to blinding drivers of oncoming vehicles and creates an emergency situation. To avoid this, you need to install splitting lenses to adjust the light on the section of road you are viewing. Replacing the low beam bulb of a VAZ 2114 (xenon) is carried out in the same sequence as incandescent lamps.

Lamp operation

According to traffic rules, cars driving along the highway are required to turn on low beam headlights. In this regard, the operating time of low and high beam lamps is reduced, which leads to frequent failure of this mechanism. Lamps on the VAZ 2114 are used both during the day and at night. Therefore, you need to carefully monitor their integrity and performance, so as not to create an emergency situation on the road.

Headlight device VAZ 2114

To avoid this, it is necessary to carry out regular inspection of this unit. If a malfunction of the lighting system is detected, it is necessary to carry out external diagnostics of the headlight unit for damage to the contact group of the low-high beam lamp or the supply wiring harness.

If there is a defect on the harness, it is necessary to find the cause of this damage, then eliminate the break or oxidation, and then secure it so that this malfunction does not recur in the future. If there is a problem in the contact group (as a rule, this is a rupture of contacts or their oxidation), it is necessary to take appropriate measures to eliminate the cause. The rupture occurs due to a weak connection between the block and the wiring harness. It is necessary to check and, if possible, eliminate all defects on the contacts if they raise doubts about the reliability of the fastener.

Oxidation of contacts occurs due to poor sealing of the mechanism; to eliminate this malfunction, you need to treat the contact group with special agents (antioxidants). Thanks to this procedure, all contacts will not be subject to corrosion for a long time, even if moisture gets on the mechanism.

After inspecting the lamp in the VAZ 2114 headlights and detecting its malfunction, the light unit must be replaced. How to do it?

Replacing a low beam bulb on a VAZ 2114 is not particularly difficult; every motorist can do it. The first thing you need to do is remove the negative wire from the battery (if you ignore this point, you can get a strong charge on the mechanism).

The headlight bulb unit on the VAZ 2114 consists of several parts:

plastic case;
diffuser;
reflector.

Headlights are divided into two types: with movable and fixed lenses. And light can be provided by single or double-filament lamps. There are also xenon reflective elements.

Attention: it is not advisable to install very powerful lamps, because they do not provide a very significant increase in light dispersion, which can be obtained by adjusting a standard headlight.

Tuning VAZ 2109 headlights

Tuning headlights for VAZ 2109

Hi all! I made headlights for the VAZ 2109 Dragon.

Tuning headlights for VAZ 2109

When is it possible?

And yet there is one possibility when LEDs and xenon can be installed in headlights. But, unfortunately, this opportunity will not make it any easier for us.

Does this mean that VAZ can be equipped with other headlights, including those with xenon or LED? No, that doesn't mean it. According to the Technical Regulations, in any case, such a light source must be certified and tested as part of the vehicle on which it is installed. This means that if the old VAZ provided only halogen lamps, then the headlights will have to be installed only with a halogen light source.

In addition, with such an installation, you will have to go through the procedure of making changes to the design of the machine, which is quite labor-intensive and expensive.

Focusing on these aspects, every driver can choose a comfortable option for close beams. At the same time, the correctness of its operation must be constantly monitored, and if problems arise, the lamps must be replaced using our instructions.

Replacing all lamps in the headlight on VAZ 2113, VAZ 2114, VAZ 2115

Welcome! Headlight bulb - basically, wherever the lamps are, but still they do not last long because they burn out from time to time, but many do not know why this happens, basically lamps should not last too short a life, they fail only for three reasons, namely, the lamp can fail due to the fact that you got it defective and thus has poor contact, and it also fails little by little because it does not turn on smoothly but abruptly, thereby causing a filament incandescent current flows very quickly and in connection with this the light bulb can burn out, and it also fails due to the fact that the light bulb is not designed for the voltage that your wiring produces, for example, you bought a 220 volt light bulb (considered using the example of a chandelier) , and the chandelier wiring produces 230-240 volts and therefore the lamp burns out very quickly.

Note! In order to replace a light bulb on a car, you will need to stock up on: A clean rag in case you suddenly stain the new lamp and alcohol, thanks to which you will clean the dirt from the dirty lamp!

Where are all the bulbs in the headlight? Inside the headlight itself there are only two lamps, namely a side light bulb (the location where it is installed is indicated by a blue arrow) and a halogen lamp (the location is indicated by a red arrow), another lamp is built into the turn signal of the headlight unit, this indicator is not in the photo below and There is no point in showing the inside of it, the most important thing is that you have an idea of the main headlight, namely what is behind the headlight glass.

Note! Both of these lamps, that is, the side light lamp and the halogen lamp, are needed for completely different purposes, for example, the side light lamp is very small (It is also shown in the photo below) and is needed only to indicate the dimensions of the car in the dark day and it turns on together with the low beam of the headlights, but for the low beam of the headlights and for the high beam one single halogen lamp is already responsible, which many already know about, and so the halogen lamp in the car of the Samara 2 family is used with two filaments and thus it shines for the low beam as well (One thread is heated) and high beam (Both threads are heated)!

When do you need to change all the bulbs in the headlight and which bulbs will be discussed in the article? It is very difficult to predict when a lamp will fail, because most lamps fail instantly (But they can also gradually), so to prevent this from happening to you, for example, you are driving along a dark road to a distant area and your lamp immediately burns out , it is recommended to always carry spare bulbs in your cars, and besides, changing them will not be difficult.

Now a few words about which lamps will be discussed in the article, and we will talk about replacing all the lamps that are built into the headlight unit, that is, we have written instructions for a separate replacement of a halogen lamp, as well as for a separate replacement of the side light bulb and, accordingly, about the light bulb that is built in to the turn signal.

Main conclusions

The VAZ 2114 headlights have halogen lamps with an H4 socket by default. These are two-strand designs in which one thread is responsible for the high beam and the other for the low beam. In addition to halogen, the following can be used:

incandescent lamps;
xenon;
LED bulbs.

Most users prefer LEDs, but according to the rules it is necessary to use standard halogen designs. Express your thoughts about lamps for the VAZ 2114 in the comments.

Repair work

To begin with, we advise you to make room for yourself near the car so that you can open the doors without any problems, nothing prevents them from always being in the open position, and you have the opportunity to approach and move away from the car without overcoming multiple obstacles.

If in summer you can simply drive your car outside, then in winter you will have to limit yourself to the available space of a closed garage.

You are ready? Then you can start repairing.

Dedicated place where the cigarette lighter fuse is located on the VAZ 2114

The first situation is that the fuse for the VAZ 2114 cigarette lighter has failed. A popular problem that is not so difficult to solve. The primary task is to determine where the cigarette lighter fuse is located on the VAZ 2114. It's simple. Open the hatch where the entire fuse box is located. The element you are looking for is located to the left of the steering column. This is a 20-amp fuse, which has a special marking - F4. It is difficult to confuse it with others, so finding the fuse is not a problem at all. Take a tester and check its functionality. If it works, we continue to look for the problem. If the fuse fails, you can simply purchase a new one. It’s cheap, so there shouldn’t be any problems finding and purchasing it. Since the old fuse has burned out, you won’t be able to simply take a new one, put it in place and supposedly complete the repair.

It is extremely important to understand exactly why the old fuse blew. Figuring out how to remove the cigarette lighter on a VAZ 2114 is quite simple.

Be sure to check the quality of the contacts in the blocks when leaving the mounting block. It is designated X1. This block has connections from the cigarette lighter located in the passenger compartment. If the reason is in the contacts, tighten them. The most popular problem with a cigarette lighter malfunction is the car owner’s own mistakes during operation. When connecting external devices to the device, there is no need to unscrew the plugs in different directions. Because of this, the plates short out and the cigarette lighter simply stops working. Another fairly common problem is a burnt-out backlight bulb. It is quite simple to replace, but to do this, our device must first be removed from its socket. Pay attention to the moving core of your cigarette lighter. Examine it externally, check the quality and integrity of the spring coils. If there is damage, you will have to replace this element. The problem is that the core is not sold separately; auto parts stores offer only a prefabricated design. The only search option is all kinds of car flea markets, where grandfathers sell spare parts from their old cars. Despite the apparent absurdity, in such places you can often find excellent parts for cars such as the VAZ 2114.

Reasons for the lack of light

So, we have found out where the headlights and their unit are installed and how they are located in the car, now we will figure out why the low beam does not light up.

The main reasons are:

The lamps that are equipped with the VAZ 2114 from the factory assembly line are ordinary halogen lamps, with two filaments inside. In fact, the same light bulb is a source of both low and high beam - just one or two filaments are lit at once. Other machines may use different lamps for each type of light, and the diffuser may be movable and controlled by a computer. The solution is simple: replace the light bulb with a new one; we’ll talk about how to do this without breaking something else later.

Types of lighting fixtures

There are several types of light sources for the VAZ 2114:

xenon Available in models with a glass bulb containing gas (xenon). They provide higher brightness compared to incandescent light bulbs, which are currently losing popularity. In the absence of lenses to adjust the flow of light, oncoming drivers may be dazzled;

Xenon bulb

incandescent lamps. They are relatively dull, wear out quickly, but are inexpensive;

Incandescent lamps for auto optics

halogen. They are presented in a wide range - from very bright models to universal (all-weather). The latter have a coating on the inner wall of the bulb that provides a yellowish tint to the light stream for better visibility during bad weather conditions (fog, snowfall). For example, a conventional lighting system will reflect falling raindrops, which will blind the driver. And light of a yellowish tint is characterized by less reflectivity, and therefore does not irritate the driver’s eyes while driving in a VAZ. Also, all-weather models will allow the VAZ 2114 to be more visible on the road surface during bad weather, which will reduce the risk of an accident.

Halogen bulb for car

There are 2 most popular manufacturers of all-weather halogen lighting systems:

Kirzhach. The domestic manufacturer produces long and narrow models without a top wall and with a partition inside;
Bosch. It has a wide reflector with walls on all sides.

So that motorists can easily choose which high beam bulb to install in their VAZ, experts in the field of automotive lighting, guided by the results of numerous tests, have compiled a list of some of the most popular models of the type

The list includes the following brands:

IPF (Superbeam model);

IPF Superbeam bulb

Narva (Azzurro model);

Bulb Narva H4 Azzurro Rally Contrast+

General Electric (AllDay model). The quality of the product justifies its high cost, according to auto tests;

General Electric AllDay Light Bulb

Philips (Weather Vision model). It is the brightest model that can be installed in a low or high beam system.

Philips Weather Vision bulbs

Recommendations from experts

We advise you to study some practical advice from craftsmen who have repeatedly faced the need to repair cigarette lighters on a VAZ 2114. The most difficult problems were complicated by the fact that the owners of the car tried to solve the problem on their own, in violation of many recommendations. But after the situation became even worse after a makeshift intervention, the breakdown had to be repaired by professionals.

Hand twisting. The worst thing you can think of when replacing faulty wiring is manual twisting. Never do this, because in 80% of car fire situations this is how it starts. Be sure to use a soldering iron to create strong, reliable contacts, or even better, completely replace the old wiring with new one.
When purchasing a new cigarette lighter for a VAZ 2114, use a tester. Moreover, this must be done on the spot, in the presence of the seller. Alas, the realities of our auto parts market today are such that a huge mass of spare parts are fakes or simply low-quality products. By checking the device immediately before starting repairs, you risk not only getting a fake, but also not returning the faulty cigarette lighter to the seller, since he will say that he never saw you and did not sell you anything. By the way, for this reason it is better to buy spare parts in trusted, certified stores.
When working on any item that draws power from the battery, including the cigarette lighter, be sure to remove the terminals from the battery. Accidents are not uncommon, but you probably don't want to be one of them.
Always be careful in your actions, carefully study the operating and repair manual for your car. This is the primary literature that allows you to do most of the repair work yourself, without the help of specialists. And if you are not confident in your abilities, do not take risks, do not experiment, but send your car to trusted, qualified technicians who will repair your car with high quality and with guarantees.

conclusions

Replacing a low beam lamp on a VAZ-2114 is quite simple and even a novice car enthusiast can handle this procedure. So, you should be more careful when selecting lamps.

How to identify problems with optics

It is quite easy to understand that the headlights are not adjusted correctly. The main features are:

poor visibility of the road surface at night;
when the low beam is turned on, a bright stripe appears above the hood;
Oncoming cars honk when the lights are too bright.

Manufacturers install and configure optics in such a way that the lighting maximizes the view of the road. During operation, the installations get a little confused, and the equipment directs the light flux above or below the required level. Such situations happen due to poor road surfaces or after minor accidents when the front part of the car body is deformed.

Before you start adjusting the headlights with your own hands, you need to normalize and check the following car systems:

Suspension elements (springs and shock absorbers) must be in good condition.
Tire pressure should advise technical requirements and time of year.
An incomplete tank of gasoline and no third-party cargo in the trunk so that there is no additional load on the suspension.

Pros and cons of a conventional lamp and xenon

Advantages of incandescent lamps

The cost of the unit is several times cheaper than xenon.
Does not require additional installation of equipment.
Wide popularity and prevalence of the product.

Pros of xenon lamps

Durability of use.
Improved ground clearance visibility.
Low power consumption of electricity.

Among the disadvantages, conventional lamps have a low luminous flux of rays for ground clearance, as well as their fragility and frequent replacement of VAZ 2114 headlights. Xenon has a high price and installation of additional elements.

Attention: before changing the low beam bulbs on a VAZ 2114, you must not make cruel mistakes: replace them with the battery connected. And do not carry out this manipulation with the car engine running.

It is important to take into account that when replacing low beam lamps on a VAZ 2114, you must observe the interval from the moment it is turned off, since the incandescent element has an extremely high temperature during operation.

Be careful when working with a burnt-out light bulb, which can burst and fly into small pieces even with the slightest tug. Therefore, it will be prudent to work when replacing the lighting element in safety glasses.

By following simple rules, you can easily eliminate the cause of poor lighting and replace low beam lamps.

Good luck and all the best on your journey!

Selecting a lamp for a VAZ-2114 by manufacturer and brand

Lamp type - H4. One lamp combines both high and low beam.

Based on the two components of the headlight design, the lamp is selected at the discretion of the driver. The essence of the H4 lamp, consisting of two filaments, has not changed. A halogen incandescent lamp differs in that the bulb is saturated with bromine or iodine vapor.

The flask is made of quartz glass. This increases the service life and the maximum temperature of the filament. At the same time, the brightness of the headlights increases, which is the most attractive factor in the popularity of the product.

In accordance with European safety requirements, the following products meet the best performance indicators:

OSRAM COOL BLUE INTENCE, no deviations in electrical energy consumption were noted during testing. Low and high beams comply with GOST. Does not blind drivers of oncoming or passing traffic.

In low beam mode, due to the use of a power of 80 W, the superiority remained with IPF SUPERDEAM, but at a long distance the illumination was only 70 meters.

NARVA H4 RANGE POWER left great confidence with excellent results in both modes.

The KOITO WHITE lamp from a Japanese manufacturer, showing high-quality light output, does not affect the technical condition of the wiring or other elements of the headlight. Coupled with excellent luminous flux contours, it provides low and high beam illumination areas. The functionality extends to coverage angle and shadow boundary of the path. The protection factor against glare of oncoming cars is also a significant advantage of the device.

Solution

The stores offer several options for light sources for replacing lamps in the instrument cluster:

traditional incandescent lamps,
LED in a plastic socket,
SMD LED is a more expensive and reliable option, a super-bright diode.

The choice will always depend on financial capabilities and lighting preferences.
The number of backlight and control lamps is up to 19 pieces. It varies slightly depending on the design of the instrument cluster and the modification of the vehicle. Many car owners choose LEDs due to lower energy consumption and longer service life. This backlight is brighter and gives an interesting bluish color instead of the standard green. But due to the design of the diode, the brightness control of the instrument illumination will not work, always turning it on at full power. On a long road trip at night, this can be distracting and irritating to the eyes. But in any case, the choice of light sources is yours.

If you are going to install LEDs, it is recommended to first check them with a tester for the absence of a short circuit.

Replacing light bulbs

Now let's replace the rear light bulbs. We lift the trunk and look for a valve in the upholstery located opposite this device.

We open the valve (it is on Velcro) and observe the back of the flashlight with the power supply connected to it.

We pull out the block by pulling it towards the central axis of the machine.

Important! The mating part of the block is a metallization applied to a flexible circuit board. We remove the block carefully, since if the pulling is unsuccessful, you will have to change the entire board

We release the latch located on the side of the lamp that is located closer to the center of the machine, and remove the board along with the lamps.

Removing the board with lamps

We unfold the board with the bulbs facing up and observe the picture shown in the photo in the first section of the article. All lamps are removed in the same way - by turning them counterclockwise. We find the burnt out lamp and replace it with a new one.

The design of the rear lights of the VAZ 2115 - and what kind of light bulbs are in them

The VAZ 2115 has 4 rear lights - two corner ones on the sides (installed in the body) and two more slightly closer to the central axis of the car. The second ones are built into the trunk lid and merge with the side ones, giving the impression of one large lamp.

But this is not the most interesting thing. On the VAZ 2115, the side lights are equipped with 2 double-helix lamps and one single-helix lamp - P21/5W and P21W.

At the same time, this lamp is only responsible for the direction indicators, side lights and brake signal! Why does this lighting device need five spirals? Let's look into this issue.
