What kind of light bulbs are in the foglights on the VAZ 2114 (Bosch and Kirzhach sockets)

Pull the handbrake - your actions

So, the handbrake is tightened as follows.
First, use a jack and install the support. Then lift the brake lever. Now locate and loosen the adjuster locknut through the hatch in the brake drum. Tighten the adjusting nut, while making sure that the brake cable is tensioned. If, after performing all of the above steps, the cable tension does not occur, then you will need to replace this part. In this case, you need to contact specialists who will quickly help solve your problem. If everything went well, check the operation of the handbrake by pulling the lever towards you. Do a test: try turning the rear wheel by hand. The wheels should not rotate without force. And if the test passes, then tighten the locknut. Release the lever and perform another similar test. This time the wheels should spin freely. Now lower your vehicle to the ground and perform a test to determine whether the parking brake is working. The brake tension is complete. You can consider yourself a real master. But if you still do not dare to implement the described plan, then do not hesitate to contact knowledgeable people who will help solve not only this, but also other problems.

Installation methods

What kind of bulbs are in the headlights of the VAZ 2110
? There are several options for equipping your car with a fog lamp system. The choice depends on your personal preferences and capabilities.

The standard PTF kit includes several elements:

• Headlights;
• Light bulbs;
• Switching relay;
• Set of wires;
• Connection diagram;
• Button to turn on/off PTF.

When choosing a set, pay attention to the fact that the headlights match the shape of the glasses, that is, the facing elements. Standard kit

Standard kit

Today, for VAZ 2114 owners who want to install fog lights, it is recommended to choose rectangular kits from the Kirzhach company. It is used for factory installation of PTF on expensive versions of the model.

Xenon in PTF

Many car owners are thinking about installing xenon lamps in their fog lights. Is it good? Not really.

The thing is that when installing xenon in the PTF, focusing is disrupted. The operating principle of xenon is somewhat different compared to conventional Kirzhach type lamps.

Standard PTFs are designed for certain types of lamps, so they cannot cope with xenon. As a result, excessive reflection is observed in the reflector, rays are refracted, and the light is blurred. Where does this lead? To blind oncoming drivers.

The xenon option is not a practical or successful solution. Therefore, we recommend that you avoid it.

Another option is a combination of xenon and yellow fog lights. You will need H1 xenon bulbs, which are mounted in a bottle cap and only then placed in the headlight. This way the light beam has smoother boundaries, does not blind oncoming traffic, and better illuminates the roads in bad weather. Only after installing this combination lighting, be sure to make sure that your headlights really do not blind oncoming cars.

If oncoming cars stubbornly continue to shine their high beams on you, try adjusting the light beam. If this does not help, it is better to abandon xenon.

How much do fog lights cost on a VAZ 2114?

Standard fog lights for a VAZ cost about 500 rubles. As for analogues from Hella and other manufacturers, the price rises to 1000 rubles or more.

Good day, friends! I bought myself LED bulbs in PTF, since one bulb recently burned out. And it was immediately decided to replace the fog lights themselves with new ones because there was water in them all spring and because of this they peeled off inside and so that this would not happen again, all the seams and places where water could get in were sealed with silicone sealant.

These are the light bulbs.

They were bought on Aliexpress

This is how they burn, but little is clear here. The camera immediately goes dark(

Smeared))

I also installed the caps with sealant.

And this is the difference: halogen on the left, LED on the right.

These are both diode.

Photo night. The light is so-so(((As soon as I have the opportunity to photograph how they shine at night, I’ll post it right away!

When I was buying fog lights at the spare parts market I saw mirrors from a VAZ 2110 and asked the seller, without any hope, if there were the same ones only for 2114-15 (without any hope, because when I heard that such mirrors exist for the Samara, I tried to find them in our city them but to no avail) and to my surprise she tells me that they are on 2114, so I bought mirrors at the same time. Their visibility is much better than the stock ones, then I also want to replace the elements on them with anti-glare heated ones, but that will be a little later.

This is an old mirror after unsuccessful attempts to adjust it.

And this is new. After that mirror, it was as if I had seen the light)))

driver's side view

I forgot to take a photo of the outside with the mirrors, but here you can see a little) And I also ran a wire under the trim and connected the DVR so that it would work from the ignition switch. Now it works in automatic mode)))

This is how the wire runs now.

Good luck to everyone on and off the roads!

Fog lights (FTL) are an optics unit that can be located either as an assembly with the main headlight of the car, or placed separately - most often at the edges of the bumper. Fog lights are designed to illuminate the side of the road and the road in difficult weather conditions: when the rays of low and high beam are reflected against the thickness of the fog, thereby creating a wall of light in front of the car, then fog lights give a flat and wide beam that spreads exactly above the road so as not to illuminate the fog itself. In addition to illuminating your path in difficult weather conditions, fog lights also help make you more visible to other road users.

There are also rear fog lights - but, as a rule, this is an ordinary red light, the same as the side light, but 2-3 times brighter. The “luxury” versions of Samar 2114, 2113, 2115 are equipped from the factory with front PTFs, which are located at the edges of the bumper.

Owners of standard equipment install front PTFs themselves, and we’ll look at how to do this below.

In fact, the headlights on the VAZ 2114 2113 2115 are very bad; at night you drive almost blind! Therefore, young people install xenon in the headlights, install PTF - and xenon in them! =) And older car owners are content with simply installing PTF! By the way, the head light for the VAZ 2114 also comes from different manufacturers, but which one to choose? You will find the answers here: Kirzhach or Bosch?

Replacing light bulbs in fog lights of a VAZ 2114

Priora low beam lamp: what type of bulbs are in the Lada Priora headlights, how to choose the best ones and install them yourself

• To make it easier to remove the PTF housing, drive the car onto a pit or a lift;
• Next, move the protective rubber casing from the back of the PTF;
• Get to the headlight power connector and remove the chip from it;
• Having disconnected the wire, loosen the light bulb by squeezing the “legs” with your fingers and removing them from the seat;
• Remove the base along with the lamp and replace the faulty element with a new one.

When installing a new lighting part, do not touch the glass surface, as... Marks left on it will eventually lead to fading or complete burnout of the thread. When installing LEDs and xenon, before starting to operate the vehicle, adjust the tilt of the light beam so as not to dazzle other road users.

Types of low beam bulbs on the VAZ-2114

Types of light bulbs

The choice of low beam bulbs should be treated carefully, because the visibility of the road surface at night depends on the brightness of the light. So, let's look at which lamps are installed in the low beam of the VAZ-2114:

• Xenon.
• Halogen.
• Incandescent.
• NewNeon.
• LED.
• FireLED.

Thus, the motorist is provided with a wide selection of low beam lamps that can be installed. In addition to the brightness of the glow, they also differ in cost.

Details about each type of lamp

When choosing lamps, it is worth remembering that safety is first and foremost. So, let's look at a brief description of each type of low beam bulbs, which will undoubtedly be suitable for the VAZ-2114. It is worth recalling that the manufacturer recommends the H4 marking for installation on a vehicle.

Xenon

Set of xenon lamps with ignition units

Another xenon kit

Over the past 10 years, it has won the hearts of many car owners . There is quite a wide range of choices on the market. Installation can be carried out either in a car service center or independently. The disadvantages are that efficient use requires an ignition unit. The cost starts from 1200 rubles .

Halogen

Halogen headlight

This type of light bulb is quite common. Good for foggy areas of use . Quite low cost makes them accessible to every car enthusiast. The downside is that the road surface is poorly lit at night.

Incandescent lamps

Standard low beam lamp H4

Conventional low beam lamps that come from the manufacturer's factory. They are not particularly reliable and bright, but they are quite sufficient for safe operation of the car, if the speed does not exceed 90 km/h.

NewNeon - light bulbs

New generation light bulbs. They have good lighting ability if the headlights are adjusted correctly.

Since xenon also requires the installation of an additional diffuser unit.

The cost is too high, so for now they are installed only on expensive foreign cars. The price starts from 35,000 rubles per set for 1 headlight.

LED – light

LED light bulb

Another technology that burst in unexpectedly. The advantage is that the bulbs provide good light for all weather conditions. At night, the illumination of the road surface is high. This type of lamp is quite economical and consumes a small amount of power , which makes it possible to transfer it to other devices.

The only downside is the price - from 1000 rubles.

FireLED – light bulbs

FIRELED lamp

In 2021, FireLED automotive lamps from Philips were introduced. These are even brighter lamps, the light beam of which can be adjusted. Like xenon headlights, it requires the installation of an additional light control unit. The lamp has not only low beam, but high beam.

Of course, mass implementation is not yet possible, since the cost is too high and ranges from 40,000 for 2 lamps and a unit. Plus, there are no specialists in the CIS who could install this type of light.

Survey

Manufacturers of lamps for VAZ-2114

When all types of light bulbs are considered, you can go directly to the list of lamps that can be installed on the VAZ-2114.

Philips LED bulbs

OSRAM lamps

Dialuch lamps of domestic production

A fairly wide range of H4 lamps is provided by the spare parts market, but light bulbs of other markings are also suitable for domestic vehicles:

• A 12-60+55 VAZ H4 plus 60 (BOSCH).
• Allseason Superseason (+30%) (produced by OSRAM).
• H1 12V 55W P14.5s Night Breaker (+90%) (made by OSRAM).
• H4 12V 100/80W PU43t (made by OSRAM).
• H4 12V 60/55W P43t Allseason Super (+30%) (made by OSRAM).
• IPF SUPERDEAM.
• NARVA H4 RANGE POWER.
• General Electric (AllDay model).
• Philips (Weather Vision model).

This is just a small list of headlights that can be used on a VAZ-2114 in low beam.

Which PTFs shine better?

Replacing the cigarette lighter bulb of a VAZ 2114

High-quality fog lights should have an almost horizontal beam of light. If you have “China” at your disposal, then you will immediately notice the difference

The best PTFs in our case are optics produced by Kirzhach (Avtosvet), but there are many fakes, so it is important and necessary to distinguish a fake from the original, because sellers will sell you the first product they come across

Hella products have also proven themselves quite well, but due to their high cost they are in little demand.

Owners of the standard equipment install the front PTFs with their own hands, and how to do this for you will be discussed below.

In fact, the headlights on the VAZ 2114 2113 2115 are very bad; at night you drive almost blind!

By the way, the head light for the VAZ 2114 also comes from different manufacturers, but which one to choose? You will find the answers here: Kirzhach or Bosch?

conclusions

Determining the reasons for fog lights not working on a VAZ-2114 is quite easy and simple, but not every motorist can do it. Therefore, if your understanding of auto electrics is far from complete and it is impossible to carry out diagnostics and repairs yourself, it is recommended to contact a car service center.

Which modification is better?

H4 halogen lamps installed on the VAZ-2114 are divided into:

1. Standard.
2. Enhanced light beam.
3. Improved visual overview.
4. All-weather.
5. 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.

Types of headlights

If the xenon headlight bulbs of the VAZ 2114 only lead to an installation problem, then when buying halogen ones, the car enthusiast also faces the problem of choice, because there are several types:

1. Standard - in the modern configuration of the VAZ 2114 it is BOSCH with a power range of 60/55W. On previous versions of the car, the power was also in this range, but the car was equipped with domestic manufacturers, which noticeably affected the quality of the headlights.

Standard

1. Amplified ones are more expensive than classic lamps and are marked +30 (50, etc.)%. Such headlights operate approximately the same percentage less, cost the same percentage more, and consume energy in the appropriate mode.

Amplified lamp

1. Improved visibility – the bulb of these illuminators has a slight blue tint. While consumption and heating remain normal, the light is brighter, and visibility on dry or snowy roads is better and further. Such headlights do not blind oncoming car owners, but without high-quality fog lights they are unable to illuminate the road in rainy weather.
2. All-weather - differ from standard ones by the presence of a yellow coating on the light source. In terms of technical characteristics, they are no different from them, but they help create a visual contrast in the contours of objects, especially when the weather is bad outside.

All weather lamp

1. Increased power - these headlights are a product of the market, which generated demand, and not an objective necessity. More powerful lamps are the prerogative of young people who do not take into account possible road problems associated with the consequences of such “tuning”.

IMPORTANT! The manufacturer directly declares a ban on the installation of heavy-duty halogen lights, because they blind oncoming drivers and lead to a lot of accidents, both outside the city and within its boundaries.

How to choose foglights VAZ 2115 and PTF VAZ 2114

Let's start with the fact that there are several types of fog lights. More precisely, there are two types: standard and universal PTFs

It is important to understand that their effectiveness greatly depends on the quality of the fogs themselves.

Let's move on. Standard PTFs can be original or analogues. In any case, they are produced for a specific car model, have similar mounts, housing, etc. Such PTFs are the easiest to install, especially if the bumper already has places for installation, covered with plugs.

Universal PTFs have a mount that allows them to be installed on different car models; such fog lights can be installed in the area of ​​plugs on the bumper, on the radiator grille, hung on the bumper, etc.

The disadvantages are the insufficiently bright and strong glow of such lamps, as well as a short service life. At the same time, it is not always possible to replace the blades quickly and easily, taking into account possible difficulties with access (especially if the fogs are installed in standard places).

PTFs with a xenon lamp shine brighter than halogen lamps, the service life is also 50-60 or even 80-100% longer (provided that high-quality lamps are used). However, the cost of the equipment is much higher; for such lamps it is also necessary to install separate ignition units, correctly connect xenon, etc.

Also, brighter xenon light, which is better than halogen lights on a dry road, often provides worse visibility in fog and rain, since the color temperature is slightly different from halogen headlights, even for xenon analogues that are as close in characteristics as possible.

It is also worth noting that the brighter xenon glow can cause blinding oncoming drivers. Taking into account this feature, PTFs with xenon need to be lowered lower, constantly monitor their adjustment, keep the headlights clean and do not turn on the fog lights under normal conditions (when there is no fog, snow or rain).

LED PTFs are more economical in terms of energy consumption and place less load on the battery and wiring. The service life of good quality LED PTFs is usually longer than halogen or xenon ones.

Such fogs shine well (if the product is of high quality), in some cases you can change the temperature of the glow (from white to yellow, etc.). In practice, such PTFs may well perform the function of DRLs during daylight hours.

The downside is the high cost of high quality products. Additional requirements should be taken into account during installation, since in case of installation errors or poor ventilation, the LED headlights can become very hot, which renders them inoperable.

What types of halogens are there?

The review of h4 lamps presents only those devices that have been tested (by the way, the h4 lamp test is a bright sight, you can watch the video).

• Standard (factory assembled).
• More wear-resistant (it also happened that such lamps could be ordered as part of the main assembly at the factory).
• The quality of enhanced light flow.
• Increased performance of light perception from headlights in the oncoming lane.
• Universal lamps for any weather conditions.
• Those with more power compared to the factory assembly.

To figure out which h4 lamps are better, let's look at the comparative characteristics during testing. But here are the main brands of halogen lamps that can go to the fourteenth: OSRAM h4 standard, OSRAM h4 lightday, GENERAL ELECTRIC h4 standard, PHILIPS h4 long life, NARVA h4 standard.

Installation methods

There are several options to equip your car with a fog light system. The choice depends on your personal preferences and capabilities.

The standard PTF kit includes several elements:

• Headlights;
• Light bulbs;
• Switching relay;
• Set of wires;
• Connection diagram;
• Button to turn on/off PTF.

When choosing a set, pay attention to the fact that the headlights match the shape of the glasses, that is, the facing elements. Standard kit

Standard kit

Today, for VAZ 2114 owners who want to install fog lights, it is recommended to choose rectangular kits from the Kirzhach company. It is used for factory installation of PTF on expensive versions of the model.

Xenon in PTF

Many car owners are thinking about installing xenon lamps in their fog lights. Is it good? Not really.

The thing is that when installing xenon in the PTF, focusing is disrupted. The operating principle of xenon is somewhat different compared to conventional Kirzhach type lamps.

Standard PTFs are designed for certain types of lamps, so they cannot cope with xenon. As a result, excessive reflection is observed in the reflector, rays are refracted, and the light is blurred. Where does this lead? To blind oncoming drivers.

The xenon option is not a practical or successful solution. Therefore, we recommend that you avoid it.

Another option is a combination of xenon and yellow fog lights. You will need H1 xenon bulbs, which are mounted in a bottle cap and only then placed in the headlight. This way the light beam has smoother boundaries, does not blind oncoming traffic, and better illuminates the roads in bad weather. Only after installing this combination lighting, be sure to make sure that your headlights really do not blind oncoming cars.

If oncoming cars stubbornly continue to shine their high beams on you, try adjusting the light beam. If this does not help, it is better to abandon xenon.

Installation

The PTF installation process can be divided into three main stages:

• Installation of headlights;
• Network connection;
• Functionality check.

So now we will talk about each stage separately.

Installing headlights

We will consider the option of installing PTF on a standard bumper. Therefore, it does not have holes for new optics. You will have to do them yourself.

To work you will need a certain set of tools and materials:

• File;
• Drill and drill bits;
• Electric jigsaw;
• Roulette;
• Marker.

Connection elements

Now directly about work.

1. First of all, remove the bumper. Work is performed only if it is disconnected from the seat.
2. Remove all dirt from the bumper.
3. Make markings for the installation of future fog optics.
4. It is best to mount the headlights slightly to the side of the lower air intake. Try to place the PTF strictly under the main optics of your car.
5. For decorative glasses that have outer and inner halves, make markings. The outer half is decorative, and the inner half is designed to fix the outer part and headlights.
6. The outer part of the glasses has a protrusion on the inside. With this mounting protrusion, the element should fit into the hole made in the bumper.
7. To determine the optimal dimensions, you should measure the landing protrusion. This way you can make the appropriate markings on your bumper.
8. Using an electric jigsaw, holes of the required size and location are cut.
9. Use a file to file the cut areas.
10. The outer part of the glasses should eventually fit tightly into the hole.
11. Fog lights are mounted in the resulting holes. For this purpose, the kit includes special mounting bolts.
12. Attach decorative glasses to the top of the headlights. The bumper can then be returned to its place.

Connection

Together with the PTF, a diagram for connecting the devices must be attached. It is not complicated, so even a beginner will be able to understand all the nuances of connecting the components to each other.

You will need to embed the wiring from the foglights into the mounting block, which is located in the engine compartment to the right of the windshield. To do this, just unscrew the bolts from the block, lift it and find the pads marked Ш7 and Ш8.

These blocks are used to connect fog lights, although these lighting devices are not installed standard at the factory. Wiring from the headlights and from the fog lamp relay, which is provided in the purchased PTF kit, is connected to these blocks.

Your job is to make the correct connection. This is done according to the following scheme:

• The output wire from pin 87 is ground, so you need to connect it to the car body;
• Pin number 85 goes to the block marked Ш7 and is connected to connector number 17;
• Pins numbered 30 and 86 go to block Ш8. In this case, connect pin 30 to connector 8, and lead 86 to connector number 1;
• Having installed the headlights, stretch the positive wire through the engine compartment, as they are connected to the Ш8 block. But these wires need to be inserted into connectors numbered 2 and 3;
• Now connect the block to the mounting block, and return the block to its place;
• Select an area near the block where the fog light relay will be installed.

Connection result

Button

Now all you have to do is connect the control system for your PTFs. Included with the fog lights is a corresponding button, which will stand on the panel in the seat provided by the manufacturer.

PTF button

The manufacturer, that is, AvtoVAZ, provided for this. Therefore, under the panel you will find a control block. The panel is removed, the corresponding block is located and the button is connected to it. That's it, the controls are ready.

Examination

The last stage is to check the functionality of your PTFs.

To check the efficiency of the lighting devices, turn on the headlights on your VAZ 2114, then press the button to turn on the fog lights. When the lights are turned off, even if the fog lights button is pressed, they should still go out.

The importance of PTF is difficult to overestimate. They help you see the road better during fog, rain, and snow. Moreover, fog lights are designed to improve the visibility of your car to oncoming and behind vehicles. Therefore, we strongly recommend installing PTF not only in front, but also in the rear.

Installation and connection of front and rear PTFs on VAZ 2113, 2114, 2115

Before you begin installing fog lights, you will need to select a certain list of tools and additional elements. You can purchase a ready-made connection kit or select the necessary spare parts separately. When everything is prepared, you can mark on the front bumper a place for installing future headlights. The VAZ 2115 comes with standard holes from the factory, but in the case of the VAZ 2113 and VAZ 2114 you will need to work with a tool (a jigsaw or a drill). If you don’t want to damage the bumper, you can install the lighting fixtures on special brackets.

To install foglights in the front bumper, you need to make holes using a jigsaw or drill with drill bits, having previously completed the markings

You will need:

• file;
• drill and drill bits;
• electric jigsaw;
• roulette;
• marker.

Installation materials

As a rule, the kit for installing PTF on VAZ 2113, 2114, 2115 includes the following elements:

• headlights with bulbs;
• set of wires;
• electromagnetic relay;
• PTF power button;
• ties and clips for fixing wires;
• PTF connection diagram VAZ 2113, 2114, 2115.

The kit for connecting fog lights should include wires with terminals and connectors, a relay, a button

The installation of the lighting sources in question must be carried out using a button and an electromagnetic relay. The fact is that fog lights consume quite a lot of current and connecting directly to the ignition switch will lead to burning and subsequently burnout of the contacts. All this can contribute to damage to the wire insulation and the occurrence of a short circuit, which may result in failure of the electrical wiring.

Step-by-step installation and connection of PTF

To install fog lights, the following procedure must be followed:

1. Installation of the headlight switch button in the cabin. You can choose any location for the element, as long as the driver can easily operate the key. Quite often, the part is installed instead of plugs on the dashboard.
2. The grille with the dynamic head is removed from the front panel. Behind it there are two blocks designed to turn on the headlights, indicate the operation of the PTF and illuminate the button.
3. Having placed the button in a convenient place, connectors are connected to it. After this, the grate can be put back in place.
4. The relay is installed under the hood on the partition of the engine compartment near the mounting block. To remove it, you need to unscrew 2 nuts, lift it and find 2 pads (numbers 7 and 8).
5. A block with a harness of four wires with contacts included in the kit is laid to the relay block.
6. The connection of the wires that come from the PTF relay is carried out according to the diagram in the following order: the wire from the 30th contact of the relay is connected to block No. 8 of the mounting block at the 8th terminal, the 87th contact of the relay goes to the 1st terminal of the connector, 86 is “ground”, and 85 is connected with the 17th terminal of block No. 7.
7. The positive wires are pulled to the PTF, the mass is mainly secured to the nut of the headlights. The “+” voltage is supplied to the fog lights from the 2nd and 3rd contacts of block No. 8.
8. After all connections, the connectors are installed in the mounting block and secured.

As for the rear PTFs on VAZ 2113, 2114, 2115, on these modifications of the car such a light source is installed from the factory, i.e. another light bulb is used in the rear light. Control is also carried out from the passenger compartment using a button, but without fixing, since a slightly different relay design (electronic) is used. It’s worth knowing about this and not trying to install a latching key.

Video: installing PTF on a VAZ 2114

Checking the performance of PTF on VAZ 2113, 2114, 2115

After the lighting devices are installed and connected, you need to check how correctly everything works. To do this, just turn on the headlights and press the key that supplies voltage to the PTF relay, after which the headlamp lamps should light up. When the headlights are turned off, the PTF lamps should also go out, regardless of the position of the fog light button. After checking the functionality of the light source, you will need to adjust the light output so that oncoming drivers are not dazzled.

After installation and connection, we check the operation of the PTF: when the lights are turned on and the fog lights are pressed, the lights should light up, when the lights are turned off, the lights should go out

Fog optics are essential lighting equipment for any car. Such devices greatly facilitate travel in poor visibility conditions. If a certain car model does not have PTF installed from the factory, you can carry out the installation yourself. This does not require special tools or special skills and knowledge.

PRICES OF COMPONENTS

There is also a separate section for prices for all the parts that may be needed when repairing this part of the car, because if the side lights on a VAZ 2114 or the fuses have blown, they will still have to be replaced with new ones. In any case, all the components are quite cheap, all we might need:

• Marker lamp;
• Fuse;
• Power button;
• A whole fuse block.

Today, an ordinary white light bulb costs up to 30 rubles; of course, the price depends on the individual pricing policy of a particular seller. Individual fuses can be selected for up to 50 rubles, unless, of course, you want to install a higher quality option. Button, if you look for exactly the same one as the original one, you will have to pay up to 300 rubles. In some situations, more serious problems may arise and you will have to change the entire unit, this is quite an expensive proposition, together with all the wires it will cost up to 1000 rubles.

Based on this, we can say that you need to carefully monitor your car and try to avoid any serious malfunctions; if something breaks, fix it right away, don’t start it.

How to install and connect PTF?

Installation and connection are carried out in 3 stages:

1. We install the PTF in the bumper.
2. We connect the wiring to the mounting block via a relay.
3. Install a button in the panel.

Connection diagram

Well, I think everything is clear here! However, the diagram is not indicated in full: the mass of the PTFs themselves on the body, which must be done without fail, is not indicated. It needs to be secured in a safe place, on metal of course! Before fastening, be sure to clean the metal from dirt and tighten the mass well so that there is no loss of tension. Otherwise, the PTF will burn dimly and unevenly.

Bumper installation

As stated above, there are two options - either install a new bumper with ready-made cutouts for the PTF, or cut it yourself with a jigsaw. To do this, remove the element, mark the mounting holes, and cut it.

Next, we install the “glasses” - they cover the cutout on the outside of the bumper, they consist of two parts:

1. Decorative - external.
2. Internal - attaches glasses to the bumper using side latches and holds the PTF.

Connecting wiring to the unit via a relay

Relay with wire set

1. First of all, open the hood, find the required block and unscrew its two fastenings to the body on the sides, remove the cover.
2. From the bottom of the mounting block, unfasten the two outer wire blocks marked “7” and “8”.
3. Take the installation kit: put the wires from the kit on the relay.
4. We add their other ends to the block of wires “7” and “8” according to the diagram.
5. We stick the pads back into the mounting block and fasten it back to its original place
6. Next, we attach the relay to the car body in any place you like: for example, next to the same block.
7. We run long wires from the mounting block blocks (which we have already installed) to the fog lights and connect them. We also attach the PTF mass to the car body.

Installing a button in a panel

To install the button that comes with the mounting kit, you will need to partially disassemble the front panel.

Removing the center console

Fortunately, the factory prudently installed wiring for the PTF in all Samar configurations, so all we have to do is remove the center console and find a block in the wiring for connecting the button.

Next, find the wire block, install the button and assemble the panel.

Then you need to check the headlights for functionality.

Don't forget that they only work after the side lights are turned on!
