Initially, I wanted to paint the inside of the headlight matte black, but somehow, after evaluating my strength and time of work, I decided against it (I didn’t regret it). Well, to get the full style, I bought white turn signal repeaters (I remember that they cost 25 rubles). Next, we go to remove the old headlights

Installation and configuration of VAZ headlights

Installation is carried out in the reverse order of removal. To adjust the headlights after replacement, you need a vertical wall and a flat area in front of it. The size of the site should be sufficient to park the car at a distance of 5 meters from the wall.

This will allow you to more accurately adjust the headlights. Cover the left headlight with a piece of cardboard or a black flat rag. Turn on the low beam.

The upper border of the left side of the light spot should be equal in height to the distance from the ground to the middle of the headlight. The right border of the spot should be 6-7 cm higher. The lower part of the light spot should be located opposite the center of the headlight. If the light spot is shifted vertically, then move it using the vertical adjustment screw (it is located on the side of the radiator grille in the upper part of the headlamp). If the spot is shifted horizontally, level it using the horizontal adjustment screw (located at the bottom of the headlight on the wheel side). After you have adjusted the headlight unit, check the operation of the hydraulic corrector. To do this, switch it to different modes and check whether the height of the light spot changes.

Broken fuses on VAZ 2109 and 21099 are not difficult to find - their diagram is usually presented on the block cover.

If you are faced with the problem of constant lighting of the reversing lights, this may be caused by problems with the wiring or the cessation of operation of a special sensor located on the box.

When the car headlight switch stops working, you can get to it through the engine compartment or from underneath the car. You can diagnose the failure of this component of the lighting system as follows:

start the VAZ 21099 and shift it into reverse gear;
close the contacts. The rear lights should light up at this time;
Use a multimeter to check if the contacts are closed when you turn on the rear headlight switch, having first removed the switch;
make sure that the contacts are soldered securely, assemble the switch and check its operation again. If a normal short circuit is observed, replace it.

Causes and actions in case of breakdown

Among the reasons for the breakdown of the rear parts of the lighting system on a VAZ 21099, 2108 or 2109, the most common are:

Bulb burnout. It happens due to wear or power surges and is almost the most popular reason for replacing rear headlights.
Oxidation of contacts. Occurs due to poor quality of terminal contact, electrolyte leakage, or cracks in the battery case.
Fuse failure. This cause of failure is due to voltage surges.
The reverse sensor is broken or its wiring is broken.
Burnt out contacts on the headlight film.
Lack of ground on the board.

The most common and easiest fault to solve is a lamp burnout. The product must be replaced with a new one by turning off the light sources, opening the trunk and disconnecting the column of wires.

To do this, you will most likely have to remove the trunk trim of the VAZ 2108 or 21099, which is located behind the lamp. After this, squeezing the latches (they are located on the sides), you need to take out the panel and unscrew the lamp, after pressing on it. To install a new rear lamp, reverse the process.

With headlight removed

Replacing headlight glass on a VAZ 2109

For better quality work, the headlight must be removed. Its mounting is located in the engine compartment:

Therefore, it is necessary to raise the hood and install a strut.
The headlight is secured with four screws and nuts.
Unscrew them with head No. 10.
Pull the entire body towards you, if necessary, press a little on the front bumper.
Disconnect the two power supply plugs.
Remove the adjustment corrector, turn its head to the left, and pull it off the headlight.

It is advisable to carry out further work indoors at a temperature of 18 0 C. You must:

Place the headlight on the table;
Unscrew the turn signal housing;
Remove the wiper travel limiters;
You can use a knife to remove any remaining glass from the headlight housing;
Thoroughly clean the glass seating areas from any remaining glue;
Use a solvent to degrease the contacting surfaces of the headlight and glass.

How the headlight works

The headlamp unit provides the necessary shape of the low and high beam beam, indication of the direction indicator signal and turning on of the side lights. The basis of the headlight is an adjustable reflector, which is responsible for the height of illumination. If the reflector is not configured correctly, the headlight will either dazzle drivers of oncoming cars or insufficiently illuminate the space as the car moves. The reflector can be adjusted in two ways - using a screw and a hydraulic headlight adjuster. The screw ensures a constant lighting height, and the hydraulic corrector allows you to change the height depending on the vehicle load. The power supply for the headlight bulbs is supplied through two connectors. One ensures the operation of low and high beams, as well as side lights, the other is connected to the direction indicators. The glass of the headlight ensures dispersion of the light beam and uniform illumination of the space in front of the car.

Models of good fog lights

As for fog lights, the most popular products are considered to be high-luminosity lamps from manufacturers Osram (Night Breaker model) and Philips (Xtreme Vision). According to the manufacturers, these models of fog lights have an increased luminous flux. Philips EcoVision lamps are considered less bright but more durable. You can also find Chinese fog lights from the Nord YADA brand on the market. Their cost is the lowest compared to analogues, but their build quality is appropriate.

Engine and exhaust system

With the engine, everything is somehow ambiguous. And it seems that it has become an ordinary spare part and has ceased to be a numbered unit, but the engine model is entered in the title and the tax is paid according to its power. Therefore, when replacing a motor with another one, re-registration is required. But there is no such control, the traffic police don’t check the serial number - you can put whatever you want. Of course, if a VAZ 2108 arrives with a V16 engine, it will be noticeable to the naked eye, but if the engines are similar in appearance, hardly anyone will be able to tell the difference.

The engine can be legally installed if the car has a certified version with it from the manufacturer. For example, if you are the owner of a 41st Muscovite with a Ufa or VAZ engine, you can install a two-liter Renault F3R instead, since the plant produced such modifications. Otherwise, the traffic police will require you to obtain a certificate, which is quite expensive and difficult.

Self-installation of turbines and compressors is prohibited. But there is an interesting point: traffic police inspectors don’t know the engine compartment of the foreign automobile industry well, so they may not see the turbine. In common foreign cars it is more noticeable, but it can be passed off as a “noise reduction device” or “injector design.”

Aftermarket exhaust systems are illegal. Not long ago, during technical inspections they began to check the volume of the car, so owners of direct flow vehicles most likely will not receive a maintenance ticket. Although in our country this is a small problem.
