Hi all. Today at VAZ Repair another photo report on the installation of PTF. This time we will install fog lights on the Lada Priora at home. The work is not difficult, but requires certain knowledge and adherence to a sequence of actions.

I will not go into detail about what fog lights (FL) are and what they are needed for, anyone can read it on the net, as there are many detailed and clear explanations. I will only say that fog lights are not installed in all trim levels, so we will solve this problem with our own hands. Therefore, without unnecessary preambles, I propose to go directly to the process.

So, to install PTF on Priora you must have:

• Set of fog lights;
• Wires, corrugations, pads, adapters, relays and buttons;
• Shrink film, electrical tape;
• Pliers, a set of keys and screwdrivers.

How to connect fog lights on Lada Priora?

When there is not much left in stock, you just have to disassemble everything and install the PTF, then put everything back together and enjoy the work done. Kidding :-).

1. Let's start with the fact that we need to de-energize everything, to do this we remove the “-” terminal of the battery.
2. Next, you need to remove the bumper; to do this, unscrew the screws that secure it one by one. The screws that need to be unscrewed are marked in the photo. After all the fasteners are unscrewed, carefully unclip the bumper from the latches and dismantle it completely.

1. Next, take a screwdriver and remove the foglight plugs, which are attached with self-tapping screws.

1. We prepare our fog lights and proceed to an important stage called “installation of fog lights.” We carefully place the PTFs in their regular places and secure them with the self-tapping screws that secured the plugs. Then we start laying the wiring. The wiring is routed from the inside of the bumper; it is advisable to use corrugated wire.

1. The wires need to be pulled into the cabin in the GTZ area; to do this, we take out a special plug, under which the holes we need are hidden. For convenience, it is recommended to remove the frill along with the wipers, as well as the expansion tank with bracket.

1. In the cabin, in order to extend and connect the fog lights, you should pull off the trim (sound insulation) and pull the wire into the cabin.

1. When the wires are brought into the interior, you can start connecting. The diagram according to which it should be connected is usually included with the PTF kit, but just in case I decided to post the diagram.

1. Connecting the fog lights to the button requires the removal of the central panel. When installing the PTF relay in the unit, it is important not to mix up the wires and follow the PTF connection diagram.

Installing fog lights on a Lada Priora is quite an extraordinary task and can be done by any car enthusiast. The only problem is the connection; as a rule, difficulties arise with it. However, if you follow the instructions and carefully study the connection diagram, then everything should work out. If difficulties arise during the connection, I recommend contacting an experienced electrician, he will easily help you for a minimal fee. Before final assembly, do not forget to check everything and make sure that the PTFs are working as they should.

That’s all for me, thank you for your attention and see you again at VAZ Repair! Bye!

Almost any motorist knows perfectly well how much fog lights (FTL) improve visibility in bad weather, significantly reducing the risk of an accident. But unfortunately, not all car modifications are equipped with such headlights. Today we will talk about Priora PTFs: we will learn how to change the lamps in them. And those whose cars do not have such headlights will learn how to install them themselves.

Installation

There is practically no difference in the installation of PTF Priora 1 and 2. The only differences will be noticeable in making holes in the bumper for the headlights. In the SE bumper you need to cut a triangle along the contour and in a regular bumper you don’t need to cut anything.

There will be no other differences in installation.

Installation process

Remove the negative terminal of the battery;

We remove the car bumper; to do this, unscrew many screws from the bottom and top of the bumper, then disengage it from the fender and remove it.

Next, use a knife to cut out a hole in the bumper for the PTF. Be careful and take your time so as not to damage the paintwork on it.

We attach the PTF to the bumper using self-tapping screws.

Let's start running the wiring into the cabin. We lay the wires from the PTF next to the main braid of wires on the left side of the car (in the direction of travel) behind the washer reservoir.

Next, you need to run the wires into the car interior. The most convenient place to run the wires is in the area of ​​the brake master cylinder. There is a hole there plugged with a rubber band, you need to insert the wires into this hole. For convenience, it is recommended to remove or move the expansion tank.

• We fasten the wires tightly so that they do not rub or come into contact with the metal. It is better to place them in a protective plastic corrugation.

  In the cabin, remove the cover of the fuse box (attached with three clips), turn them counterclockwise 90° and pull the cover towards you.

Then we bend the sound insulation and tighten the wires under the center console.

Remove the center console (central insert), fasten it with screws.

Next, we proceed to connecting the wiring; for a correct and safe connection, we use the diagram from the kit or the diagram below.

• We install a button instead of a plug on the center console.

After connecting, we check the functionality of the PTF. The main difficulties arise precisely when connecting the wiring. To avoid problems, carefully double-check the connected wires and strictly follow the connection diagram.

Assembly must be done in reverse order.

How to replace a burnt out lamp

Let's start with replacing the lamps in the foglight of the Lada Priora. This is a simple matter, and there is absolutely no need to go to a service station because of such a trifle - everything can be done on your own. First of all, what lamps are installed in the PTF of this car? The manufacturer installs H11 type halogen lamps with a power of 55 W on both regular Priora and Priora Restyling (production since 2013).

Light bulbs in PTF Lada Priora of any modifications

In addition to, in fact, new lamps, we will need:

• Torx key T-30;
• socket wrench (head) 10;
• cotton gloves;
• inspection pit or overpass.

Removing the power unit mudguard

We drive the car into a pit or overpass. To get to the PTF of the Priora, you need to remove the engine mudguard or, as it is also called, the engine protection. To do this, use a T-30 wrench to unscrew the four screws that secure the mudguards to the engine mudguard. The photo shows two, the remaining two are on the other side of the mudguard.

Step-by-step instructions for installing PTF on Priora

Now let’s try to install fog lights on the Priora ourselves - after all, they do not come with all car trim levels. First of all, you need to buy the lanterns themselves: they can be either lensed or with regular glass. Which ones to take? There are 4 most common and available options:

1. Bosch (Germany-Russia).
2. Luch (Russia).
3. Kirzhach (Russia).
4. "Noname" (China).

Which one to give preference to is a purely personal matter. Everything will depend on financial capabilities, although the PTFs of the first three companies are almost equal in both quality and cost. The Chinese nonname, sold literally “in bulk”, of course, is, to put it mildly, not up to par with the others, and even does not always have the appropriate certification.

• PTF power button;
• set of installation wires;
• fuses (optional);
• PTF control relay;
• connecting blocks.

Budget kit for connecting PTF to Priora (no fuses included)

Healthy! If desired, you can choose a complete set, which even includes fog lights.

Installation process

If everything is purchased, then you can start installing. Let's start with the PTFs and put them in their regular place. To do this, remove the bumper from the Priora by unscrewing all the screws around its perimeter.

Installed fog lights

If you have the SE modification, then before installing the headlight, you need to install the decorative trim, which I wrote about above.

Removing the heating button (this car has a headlight switch button instead of the PTF button)

We arm ourselves with a tester, turning it on in the DC voltage measurement mode (the limit is not lower than 15 V). We connect one probe of the device to the car body (minus power). Now, with the ignition off, turn on the headlights and use the second probe to find the voltage of 12 V on the heating button block. Connect the backlight LED to this wire. According to the above diagram, this is the white (yellow) wire, terminal “B” of the PTF button.

Now we also turn on the ignition - the side lights will light up. We look for the contact on the heating button where 12 V appears, and connect contact “2” of the fog light control button to it (according to our diagram, red/pink wire). Contact “A” is connected to the body, contacts “D” and “1” are connected to each other, and the wire from them is brought out into the engine compartment. We put the buttons in place - and that’s it with the Priora’s interior, let’s move on to the engine compartment.

Connecting PTF via Mus Priora

Module specifications:

Weight: no more than 0.25 kg Overall dimensions: 155×73×60 mm Connection: block 1118-3724500 Applicability: Lada Priora (2170)

Pinout, contact location

to the gearmotor of the headlight range control control wire

to the gearmotor of the headlight range control

MUS 521.3769 board there is no pin 3, there is no backlight LED and power-on indication diode, there are no buttons for turning on the front fog lights, and there are also no current-limiting resistors for these LEDs. and a resistor responsible for the resistance of the control output of the block. PTF power button, an opaque plug is installed.

The missing contact can be made from a piece of brass, or an old terminal of a suitable size, by analogy with the other contacts.

For the conversion you will need the following parts:

SMD resistors 910 Ohm in housing 1206 - 3 pcs

SMD LEDs, yellow 1 pc and green 1 pc in housing 0805

smd tact button 6x6x3.4 mm silicone sealed 1 pc

Different manufacturers of lighting control modules may have different boards, locations and types of electronic components used. In this case, we need to solder 910 Ohm resistors into places R5, R16 and R18. LEDs HL11 and HL13. Button SB4.

What is the difference between PTF for Priora 1 and Priora 2

In fact, the Lada Priora does not have any generations or numbers. In 2013, this car was restyled, which significantly changed the appearance of the Priora, but this did not make it the second generation. As for PTFs, after restyling they did not change, just as the types of lamps used in them did not change. The only exception is the Lada Priora Restyling SE, which received new PTFs, but with the same H11 lamps.

PTFs are installed on the Priora to improve the standard light when driving through dark sections of the road or in fog, they are simply necessary. Fog lights on the Priora are a privilege of luxury trim levels. Lada Priora was produced in 2 bumper design options: restyling SE, pre-restyling, so the part number is different - more about it below. In all other, empty configurations of the Priora car, plugs are installed in place of the PTF, which over time you want to replace with fog lights. Usually this moment comes when the driver drives his car for the first time through dense fog - so that visibility is minimal, it’s scary to drive, but it’s necessary. In such cases, the emergency lights turn on, movement should be slow and careful - and if there were fog lights, the driver would feel more confident.

The price of fog lights for a Priora car starts from 800 rubles and goes up to 2000+. The amount is not large, but the useful function is obvious.

Connecting the PTF is done in 7-8 steps; if you wish, you can do it yourself in the garage - read about it in this article.

The turning point leads to the choice between lens PTFs in the Priora and LED PTFs. One way or another, when driving in conditions of insufficient visibility, the light will become much larger. The driver will do everything possible to fulfill his duty to ensure traffic safety. But the fulfillment of this duty will have to be supported.

What kind of light bulbs are in Prior's fog lights?

In the list we have given the most common models of the selected car brand. (Abbreviation PTF - fog lights)

ATTENTION. This information is for informational purposes only.

There may be differences between the installed lamps in your car and in the table. To more accurately determine the lamp base, we recommend that you check in more detail in the manual for your car, or look at the lamp markings by directly pulling it out of the headlight. Some types of headlights have a marking (or sticker) on the housing of the headlight itself.

How to install and connect fog lights on a Priora

The climatic conditions of our country, unfortunately, are not the most suitable, and therefore most motorists have already become accustomed to such a phenomenon as morning or evening fog. A more optimal solution for Priora owners would be to install fog lights. Standard headlights are not always suitable due to the light curtain they create for both the car owner and other road users.

PTF Priora is not eternal, like other lights

Not only do you need to install the fog lights on the Priora in their standard places for longevity and correct light, and adjust them correctly, you also need to periodically ensure that the contacts do not come off and that there is still light. The lenses in the PTF for the Priora must comply with GOST standards, otherwise it will be another high beam, or cloudy daytime running gear. Correct installation of fog lights on a Priora will protect the glass from fogging, and the driver will not have to worry about the quality of the car's lighting devices.

Description of the scheme

The relay must be connected according to this diagram. The relay has only 4 contacts, which are assigned numbers: 85, 86, 87 and 30.

Depending on the configuration, the Priora may be equipped with front fog lights. All cars are equipped with rear fog lights. Let's consider connecting the Priora foglights. First of all, I want to note that only the factory connection diagram is considered here. In this case, the front fog lights are turned on only with the side lights turned on. Rear fog lights with low beam headlights on.

Adjustment (setting) of PTF according to GOST

It’s not enough to just install PTFs, they also need to be configured, otherwise they will just be spotlights freely shining at an incomprehensible point - without fulfilling their functions. As in the case of other light devices, adjusting PTF on 2170 begins with checking the tire pressure (it should be equal), placing the car on a flat surface opposite a smooth wall at a distance of 5 m from the extreme point of the bumper.

On the wall, mark the distance from the floor to the center of the headlight, then a point 5 cm below. The PTF base on the Priora must be placed so that when the PTF is turned on, the upper limit of the light passes through the lower point marked on the wall. Fog lights, as statistics show, are rarely installed even after purchase, but with the correct settings they will serve as a good assistant.

Adjustment

You managed to install the PTFs, but in order for them to perform their task, they must be configured. Place the Lada Priora on a flat surface. There should be a wall opposite the front bumper; motorists usually use a garage for this. Check the tire pressure - it should be the same.

Now you need to measure the distance from the ground to the middle of the headlight. On the wall, draw an even strip corresponding to the distance from the coating to the middle of the PTF. Draw another strip 5 cm below, the top one can be erased. The fog lights need to be adjusted so that the upper limit of the light is located on the horizontal line that we drew on the surface. As you can see, the headlight adjustment scheme is quite simple.

IMPORTANT! Before talking about how to connect fog lights, carefully read the comments to this article and the text of the article itself, most likely YOUR question has already been considered, several times. Also remember, the article was written more than 2 years ago, I don’t remember exactly how and what I connected, so questions of this plan will also be left unanswered, either in the comments or in a personal message. Thank you for your attention.

The idea of ​​installing foglights was there from the very moment I bought the car, but since I hadn’t installed them on Priors before, moreover, I’ll say, I haven’t installed foglights anywhere at all, I had doubts. At first I wanted to take the car to a service center, I thought, let them put it there, I found out the prices, etc., etc., but I would have to pay about 2 thousand for the work, I think, no, it’s a little expensive. But the idea never left me. First, I purchased a set of wires for installing fog lights for a Priora with a button, this set rode with me for about a week, but a free minute finally turned up and I decided to install the button (for me the most difficult thing was to install the button in the interior and connect the wire to the relay because it was possible to scratch the so-called beard quite a bit), by the way, about the beard, it is held on by 6 self-tapping screws, 2 are screwed into where the radio connector is, 2 where the compartment with the inscription “OPEN” or without this inscription like mine and 2 more hidden under the ashtray, which will need to be removed, after they are unscrewed, the front panel is easily removed and the fog button is installed there according to the instructions that come with the kit (just in case, I checked all the wires with a multimeter so as not to mess up). After connecting the button, 1 single wire is output to the engine compartment on the relay, which is installed a little later. Next, to install the fog lights themselves, you need to remove the bumper. Don't be afraid, there's nothing complicated there. There is no need for a hole or overpass either; I did everything in my yard. First of all, unscrew the front protection nuts (there are 5 of them). Then, there, from below, we unscrew 3 screws on each side, which attach the bumper to the plastic mudguards. Then 2 more screws on the side of the front wheels. Next, we lift the hood and unscrew the Phillips screwdriver bolts that hold the bumper on top (they are in the photo on the sides of the yellow label with the inscription “WARNING”) With further movement we try to carefully bend the edges of the bumper from the fender, first on one side, then on the other, and voila , the bumper is in our hands) I bought the fog lights in advance on the market, it seems like they were from the Depo company, but in my subjective opinion, they are from China, only of good quality. To install them, you need to cut out the plugs on the bumper for the fog lights; it is better to do this carefully and slowly with a large stationery knife. Next, he screws each fog lamp onto 3 self-tapping screws, the main thing is to be careful not to confuse the bottom with the top. We conduct, connect the wires, again according to the diagram, connect the ground, here, by the way, I don’t recommend screwing screws into the body as written in the instructions, because the body already has a lot of holes or metal objects where you can screw the ground wire. After these manipulations, hold the bumper up, connect the fogs and put it in place in the reverse order. Then we connect all the wiring (the relay and the wire that was pulled from the button) according to the diagram, I took the plus and minus from the battery and enjoy the result.

Fog lamp models

Kirzhach and Bosch are not a death sentence, and if the light of these models does not suit you, there is a good choice from other manufacturers:

• Automotive lighting (Ryazan);
• Beam (Ryazan);
• DAAZ;
• Orion-7 (diode);

Made in China (lensed or diode). The Chinese also sell frames for the restyled version, which are installed instead of a plug and leave a hole exactly for the old-style foglights - on the pre-restyled Priora. A non-diode or non-lensed analogue of fog lights costs much less, but you shouldn’t rush into purchasing - bright white light does not always come with a long service life.

Installing PTF in Priora 1 and 2: are there any differences?

The PTF connection on the Priora differs in the position of the headlights: in the pre-restyling version, the round headlights are located closer to the center of the front end, and in the Priora 2 - restyling: the trapezoidal PTFs are located closer to the edges of the front bumper.

Installing PTF in Priora 2 can be complicated by the fact that instead of a trapezoidal headlight, the headlight of a pre-restyling Priora car will be installed; you will have to stock up on screws and patience in order to secure the headlight well in the frame, and the plastic frame to the bumper. You can install fog lights in a couple of hours, the main thing is to understand the wiring connection order.

The procedure for installing the button inside the cabin, powering the circuit

In order to connect the PTF button, you need to perform the following steps:

• Remove the negative terminal of the battery;
• Disassemble the steering column. It is secured with three plastic latches; they need to be turned 90 degrees. Find the safety block;
• The block holds a self-tapping screw, unscrew it;
• Disassemble the center console by unscrewing four screws: under the ashtray, under the radio and near the OPEN sign. In place of the plug, put the on/off button for the fog lights and connect the blue wire to the safety block, possibly through a relay;
• Using clamps, connect the remaining wires to the heated rear window button.

Basic Setup Aspects

After the fog lights are installed, their luminous flux will need to be properly adjusted so that the operation of the optics is most effective. Adjustment of fog lights should be carried out in conditions that are closest to real ones. Therefore, make sure that there is a spare tire in the trunk, the tank itself is fully filled, and the tire pressure should be the same. In addition, for greater realism, a load weighing about two hundred kilograms can be placed in the car interior.

Installation of fog lights on Priora, connection diagram

The schematic diagram for connecting fog lights is as follows:

To install PTF, in addition to a set of headlights and an installation kit for connecting fog lights, you will need:

1. insulating tape;
2. heat shrink;
3. corrugation (to insulate the wires);
4. flat screwdriver;
5. Phillips screwdriver;
6. key number 10;
7. key number 13;
8. pliers.

The algorithm for working on installing headlights is as follows:

• Open the hood, remove the negative terminal of the battery. Remove the frill and wipers, dismantle the fastenings using a 13mm wrench. The expansion tank and its mounting bracket must be removed using a 10mm wrench - without this it will simply be inconvenient to work, but putting them back is not difficult.
• Unscrew the screws securing the front bumper. There are 10 of them in total.
• The screws that secure the plugs can be easily unscrewed with a Phillips screwdriver. Fog lights are installed in standard places and securely fastened with self-tapping screws (so that the fastenings do not become loose when driving on uneven roads - because of such a trifle, you will have to return to the garage and remove the bumper).
• Proceed to wiring. It is recommended that all wires be corrugated to prevent chafing, and then secured so that the contacts do not come off.
• In the set of wires, select the longest wire (it is blue). It is “divided” into two “ends”: one is attached to the right headlight, the second to the left. The wire is then pulled into the engine compartment, closer to the master cylinder.
• Pull off the interior trim (a flathead screwdriver will help) and insert the wire into the interior.
• Connect the wire to the safety block.

After work, adjust the fog lights, otherwise all the work will be done in vain!

Connection

Below is a universal diagram for connecting a PTF using an additional button. The PTF kit contains everything necessary for installation and connection. In some cases, it may be necessary to lengthen the wires (cross-section of at least 0.75 sq. mm), be prepared for this.

It is recommended to hide the wiring under the hood in corrugation (cambric). We route the wires from the engine compartment to the passenger compartment through standard holes in the engine panel (the hole above the pedals). It is most convenient to place the relay inside the panel, behind the light control module (LCM). Plus, for switching the PTF, we take it from the battery or in the mounting block (most often this is a thick pink wire). Other useful contacts can be found in the table from the article on installing an alarm system. We install the button in any place convenient for you.

From the factory, the PTF is controlled via the light control module, diagram:

In our case, a separate, new button will be used to turn on the fog lights. The advantage of such a universal PTF connection is that the installation process is very simple and does not require much time and money. The disadvantage is that there is no indication of the fog lights on the dashboard, but this can all be solved by modifying the panel. By the way, the whole process is in many ways similar to installing a PTF on an old Kalina.
