What kind of bulbs are in the foglights of the Lada Granta?

It seems banal. I wouldn’t even write))

But I encountered some minor difficulties. 1) Type of lamps.

I read the Internet, there are few posts on this topic, I found one - type h11.
I came to the store, just in case, I asked exactly how “a light bulb for PTF grants.” People ask me “what base?” Gru - “like H11.” The seller is not a fact! And he says that in addition to H11 there is another one. And the bulbs are non-returnable, so I had to figure out exactly which one. As a result, I found out that I have an H11 from a photograph from my blog post
, where the fog lights are visible on the removed bumper.

2) Price

. Here I must say that the cheapest H11 lamp in that store was hella for 410 rubles for 1 piece! Not cheap! Unpleasantly surprised. There are lamps for 700-800! (regular ones, it seems). I googled it and decided to take Hella. Should be normal. China did not decide, as there may be problems with poor light, excess current (melting wiring, connectors, or even worse). I bought it in general.

3) Replacing the lamp

. Again, there is not enough information, there is a video on YouTube where they chat about this topic... I came across a recording here on the drive, how someone on a grant changed the lamp in the PTF, so he even cut out a “hatch” in the standard fender liner! This method is not acceptable to me. I also didn’t want to remove the factory fender liner - I still have “fangs” (bumper body kits), which are secured with 2 screws from the factory fender liner... As a result, at the dacha, the idea came to me - to bend the bumper out of engagement with the fender, having first unscrewed 2 screws, connecting the bumper to the fender liner. Everything should be clear in the photo. In the end it took about 5 minutes to get the job done. Everything went smoothly. PTF works. I'm happy )

By the way, from the Lada Granta owner's manual

:
“To free access to the fog lamp from under the front wheel arch, you must first REMOVE the wheel and partially release the fastening of the front fender flap by REMOVING 6 SCREWS.
Bend the shield, remove the inoperative lamp...” In the list we have given the most common models of the selected car brand. (Abbreviation PTF - fog lights)

How to choose good low beam lamps for Lada Granta

When the question arises about choosing good lamps, the matter always concerns the low beam - the most basic light of the car. Bulbs used in the car's headlights must provide the best illumination of the road and roadside.

We will not consider LED light sources, since they are prohibited by the list of faults for which the machine is not allowed to be used. But among halogen lamps the choice is quite large. And you should definitely take a closer look at the following manufacturers:

• Clearlight is a Chinese manufacturer of automotive optics. Their lamps have good luminous efficiency, long service life and an affordable price. Recently, the manufacturer has focused on LED light sources.
• Philips. And this is a company from the Netherlands. Philips is a leading manufacturer of household appliances, various electronic devices and automotive lamps. Their light sources are renowned for their vibration resistance, versatility and long service life. In addition, Philips lamps are supplied to the assembly lines of many automakers.
• Osram is a German company that focuses on automotive lighting. Along with Philips, it supplies its lamps to automobile factories. Osram lamps have good power, are resistant to vibrations and have a variety of light sources - from halogen to xenon and LEDs. The only drawback is the short service life.
• Koito - became famous for being able to create halogen lamps with light that replicates xenon. At the same time, they are legal and allowed for installation in the Russian Federation. Koito lamps provide good illumination on any road surface and cover the roadside well. Among the disadvantages, one can note only the high cost.

Each manufacturer, in addition to standard products, has high-brightness lamps, which are significantly higher in price, but have high light output:

• H4 Night Laser Vision +200%;
• Koito H7 Whitebeam 4200K 12V 55W;
• Philips Long Life;
• Philips Racing Vision +150;
• Osram Ultra Life.

Here are lamps with a good glow and an extended service life. Of course, such lamps will cost more. For comparison. One standard Osram lamp will cost 200 rubles apiece, and one lamp of increased brightness will cost 1,500 rubles per set.

The difference is significant and not everyone is willing to overpay. If you are one of those who like to save money, then simple lamps for 200 rubles will be enough.

Where and what lamps are used on Grant 1 and 2

To find out which lamp you need to buy for replacement, you need to study the table of lamps used in Lada Granta and Lada Granta FL cars. Also, this table will be relevant for models with a liftback and station wagon body.

In order not to take out an old lamp and take it to the store, you just need to look at the desired light source in the table. Article numbers are not needed when purchasing light bulbs. It is enough to tell the seller the standard of the light source.

LED lamps in the rear light

Instead of conventional incandescent lamps, you can also install LED lamps. Their advantages:

• longer service life (subject to the purchase of high-quality lamps)
• brighter light and better visibility in bad weather conditions
• Less current consumption, therefore less load on the generator

Instead of the usual P21W rear brake light, you can install:

P21W Philips X-tremeVision LED lamps or their Chinese equivalents

Instead of the R10W rear marker lamp, you can install this lamp

For reverse, it is better to choose brighter lamps, since the W16W has a socket like the W5W but its power is 16W

How to change all the lamps on a Lada Granta

Each type of light has its own separate replacement manual. Therefore, you will have to study several instructions at once. It is worth noting right away that there is no need to remove the bumper or dismantle the headlights! Everything is done by machine.

Replacing front headlight bulbs on Grant

There is nothing difficult about changing the bulbs in the Granta's headlights. Just follow the following instructions.

Near/Far

1. Remove the protective cover from the back of the headlight.
2. Disconnect the H4 lamp chip.
3. Push the latch to the sides.
4. Remove the old lamp and install the new one in its place in the reverse order.

Do not touch the headlight bulb with bare hands. Otherwise, there will be stains on it, which, when heated, will cause the glass to become cloudy! If you do touch the glass with your hands, wipe the flask with an alcohol wipe and dry.

Turn signal lamp

Press the chuck and turn it counterclockwise. Then remove the socket along with the lamp, press the light bulb and turn it to the left until it stops. After that, we replace it and install the socket back into the headlamp.

DRL and side light lamp

Turn the socket counterclockwise and remove it from the headlight housing. After this, put on gloves and simply pull the glass part of the light bulb, pulling it out. Install the new light source in reverse order and reassemble.

How to change the light bulbs in the front PTF on a Grant

To change the front fog lamp, you need to unscrew the fastenings of the fender liner and unfasten the bumper from its engagement. Then stick your hand in, remove the connector from the light bulb and turn its socket until it comes out of the housing. Replacement is made together with the cartridge.

Replacing lamps in Granta taillights

To gain access to the light sources, you need to open the trunk and peel back the carpet covering the back of the light. To change any lamp, you need to press the socket and turn it counterclockwise and pull it out.

Installation is in the reverse order. This procedure is the same for:

• side light and brake light;
• turn signal:
• rear fog lights;
• reverse lights.

Many people mistakenly believe that to replace a light bulb it is necessary to dismantle the lantern. But that's not true. Everything changes from the trunk side.

Replacing the license plate lamp

To perform this procedure, you must do the following:

1. Using a Phillips screwdriver, unscrew the license plate light mount.
2. Remove the lampshade.
3. Remove the glass from it.
4. Bend one of the contacts and remove the old lamp.
5. Install a new one in its place in the same way.
6. Proceed with assembly.

Replacing side indicator light bulbs on Grant

Side indicators are duplicate lamps that turn on together with the direction indicators. They are necessary so that other drivers can see from the side where the car is turning. To change the turn signal lamps, all you need to do is:

1. Move the lamp forward along the wing with your fingers.
2. Get him out of the wing.
3. Turn the plastic socket to the left, remove it and replace the lamp.
4. Perform assembly.

How to change light bulbs in the interior of a Lada Granta

Many car owners do not know that the light sources in the dashboard cannot be replaced, since they are soldered into the board in the form of diodes. If one diode fails, you can only resolder it or replace the entire shield.

To change the bulb in a ceiling light, use a flathead screwdriver to pry up the clear part of the light fixture and remove it from the housing. Then unfasten the connector and, bending the contacts, remove the old light bulb. Install the new one and reassemble everything in reverse order.

To change the light sources in the heater control unit, you must do the following:

1. Remove the heater control handles.
2. Remove the center trim of the console (if necessary, remove the radio) by prying it off with a screwdriver.
3. Unfasten all connectors from the cover and unfold it.
4. Remove sockets with burnt out lamps. Replace the lamps and reinstall the sockets.
5. Assemble the cover.

Features of choice

For reasons of safety of drivers, passengers and pedestrians, the Traffic Rules and the Technical Regulations on the Safety of Wheeled Vehicles prohibit the operation of vehicles whose external lighting devices do not meet the design requirements of the vehicle.

Standard brake light bulbs for Lada Granta P21 5W. But, many modify and install their LED analogues 48LED SMD 3014 1157 BAY15d (BAZ15d). When purchasing LED brake warning lamps, many people wonder which is better to buy: white or red? Some generally argue that white LEDs cannot be installed in the stacks of headlights with a red filter.

In terms of contrast, the white LED, of course, is inferior to the red one, but everything is readable well without any other light overlays or shades.

But here it is worth noting that the fears associated with the operation of white LEDs paired with a red filter are not unfounded, especially with regard to some old flashlights with their red filters, as well as LED lamps, the color temperature of which can exceed 6000K, varying in shade into the obvious blue.
