The headlight, like any part of a car, wears out over time, as evidenced by a less bright and blurred beam. A decrease in the quality of light can be triggered by various reasons. One of them is the deterioration of the reflective properties of the reflector. We will talk about this and how to independently restore the headlamp reflector in this article.
First of all, the violation of the mirror layer occurs due to the physical wear of the reflector. Its service life is not infinite. Even with a careful attitude to the car, it is impossible to avoid temperature changes in the winter. Therefore, the likelihood of encountering this problem cannot be ruled out.
To get to the reflector, the headlight removed from the car must be disassembled. The first option provides for repeated passage of the seam with hot air from a building hair dryer. The second option is to leave the headlamp in the oven at 100 ° C for 20 minutes. After opening, all parts are cleaned of sealant residues, washed without the use of alcohol-containing liquids and dried.
The sealant that holds the headlamp components together begins to deteriorate when exposed to temperatures above 75 ° C.
Let's start with how to restore the reflector on the headlight using tape foil. All you need is metallized tape, bought at a hardware store for about RUB 30. Its adhesive base copes well with high and low temperatures, and the aluminum film is very wear-resistant.
The surface must be degreased immediately before gluing.
Advantages of the method: durability, low cost, ease of implementation.
Disadvantages: when gluing, irregularities and seams remain, which impair the properties of the reflector.
Aluminum foil is highly reflective, which makes it suitable for refurbishing headlamp reflectors. You will also need some epoxy. To maintain a perfectly smooth surface of the foil, the entire pattern is made from plain paper. Then the parts are duplicated from an aluminum sheet, a thin layer of resin is applied to the reflector and glued, removing excess resin.
Disadvantages: being between the metal foil and the plastic base, the epoxy glue is devoid of air and takes a very long time to dry. It is almost impossible to remove dried glue. Therefore, such a reflector is not suitable for repeated recovery. With the advent of tape foil, this method is practically not used.
Repairing a headlamp reflector with chrome paint is the most popular. There is no need to cut and glue anything. Paint is sprayed onto the degreased surface of the reflector from a can with white chrome until a uniform, uniform layer is obtained. After painting, the headlamp is dried in accordance with the instructions on the spray can.
Disadvantages: Does not tolerate high temperatures. Try to find a heat-resistant chrome paint.
The restoration of the reflector by the method of applying metallized self-adhesive film of the Oracal trademark is considered to be no less effective. Films from the Oracal 351 and Oracal 352 series can withstand temperature drops from -40 to + 120 ° C and, according to the manufacturer, can be used outdoors for two years without deterioration in performance. Since the headlamp is a hermetically sealed space, the life of the self-adhesive film is increased.
The best reflective properties are possessed by a film in the color "Glossy chrome".
It is necessary to make templates from paper or ordinary tape that exactly repeat the shape of the reflector. Then cut the polyester film to the same shape. Using a hair dryer, glue it to the prepared surface of the reflector, smoothing it and preventing the appearance of bubbles. The joints and edges can be additionally treated with chrome paint.
Advantages: reliable manufacturer, excellent reflective effect.
Disadvantages: the price of 1 m 2 starts at $ 5.
As you can see, the restoration of headlight reflectors is a simple procedure and is quite possible in a garage. Considering the fact that auto repair shops take an order of magnitude more money for similar work, it always makes sense to try to return the headlight to its previous brightness with your own hands using one of the proposed methods.

Tell me how to disassemble a headlight for a gazelle business. I have a plastic Bosch, do I need to solder it? on the last gazelle there was glass, so there were clips, I did not dare to paint. and will there be any problems with passing the inspection?
Why do you want to paint it?
You take off the regular clips, you warm it up with a prom hairdryer,
Thank you, I will stay. And what about those. inspection, ride?

I don’t know how it is with you there, but in our passage every little thing is revealed that it’s not a problem from the factory. I had a chance to observe the other day how plastic reflectors or reflectors were forced from the doors from the old Volga, generally I don’t know what they are called, to shoot. In general, I believe that any kind of TUNING is just another reason for cashing out the employees of this service.

And what have you got there, are the guys still in charge? We insurers at the inspection points do not care about such things. Kumu on MAZ-53366, instead of wobbly headlights from 3102, made blocks of two "six". " followed the answer that, firstly, optics from other brands are allowed to be installed on discontinued cars, and secondly, the light beams were normal for the devices. If you don’t like something, give a written refusal, I will appeal in court. words- "in the event of a court decision in my favor, a copy of the decision will go to the prosecutor's office along with a complaint about doubts in your competence as an official." Of course, in a small town it is difficult to do this, but if you constantly bend, then the spine can constantly take this shape ..

No, the traffic police have disowned THAT, so the teoshniks themselves are digging. In my presence, the uncle on the Volzhan rolled over for an inspection, the technician, as soon as he saw that the reflectors on the doors, took off the reflectors with his own hand and left him in the trunk, he said it was not supposed to. I don’t know how they agreed, but such rolled-up specimens stopped by there, my COMBI looks super new against their background, although she is 6 years old, then there is no dispute that they went through. After MOT we go to the insurance company, present the received coupon, and get a pole for my hard-earned 1164 rubles. In general, flies separately, cutlets separately.

I wonder what kind of reflectors on the doors where they stood?
They are hung on the edges of the doors, well, it turns out that in the dark, the reflections are small, or when the door is open, it is also noticeable.
Quite often, damaged optics are difficult to find on the market. You can make an individual request. However, this does not guarantee that it will be implemented. Therefore, it will be very useful to know how to repair car headlights yourself. Before proceeding with this procedure, it is necessary to find out what material the damaged optics are made of. Consider what modern headlights are.
Glass headlights
Polycarbonate optics
cloudiness due to ultraviolet rays;
poor resistance to the effects of various alkalis, acids and other corrosive liquids;
relatively short service life.
Acrylic headlights,
You will need the following tools to repair your headlights:
hair dryer-soldering iron;
milling machine;
compressor;
injector;
drill;
UV lamp;
pliers;
tweezers;
files;
hacksaw for metal;
sandpaper, circles, or other abrasive material;
Sander;
vernier caliper, ruler, pencil;
plasticine;
heat-resistant vacuum bag;
napkins, protective equipment (gloves, glasses).
Depending on what the damaged optics was made of, we prepare the appropriate material. The best option is shards of previously repaired headlights. If there are none, we prepare a similar plastic. Remember that polycarbonate and acrylic should not be interchanged. If they are welded to each other, then the connection will be fragile. Such optics will not last long, just a few days.
In addition, you will need plexiglass, solvent, scotch tape and special molecular glue. It can be replaced with dichloroethane. To restore the main headlights, it is necessary to prepare plexiglass with a thickness of about 6.0 mm, for sidelights (foglights) or rear lights, a thickness of 4.0-5.0 mm is sufficient.
The body and headlamp are repaired with a hair dryer in the following sequence:
We lay out the fragments in the right order. If some parts are lost or cannot be restored, use spare parts from previously repaired optics.
We heat each piece one by one with a hairdryer and attach it to its place.
We weld the resulting seams on both sides to ensure strength.
The irregularities resulting from welding are first removed with a file, and then with sandpaper.
After that, we carefully grind and polish the restored optics using a felt disc.
Broken pieces of headlights can be glued together using special glue. The repair procedure is similar to the above sequence. If you do not have the necessary parts, you can make them yourself from plexiglass. All seams must be treated with hardener on both sides without fail.
Sometimes the glued headlights may not match the shape of the cap. In this case, a fit is made using a technical hair dryer.
In case of damage to glass optics and the impossibility of replacing with a new one, you can make a similar headlight from plexiglass:
Preparing the template. We put the destroyed optics in parts, replace the lost elements with ordinary plasticine. Then we make a plaster matrix.
We cut a workpiece of the required size from plexiglass.
On tracing paper we draw a template for the internal drawing of the glass with a caliper.
Using a milling machine on a plexiglass workpiece, we reproduce the optics pattern with maximum accuracy.
After that we put plexiglass on a gypsum matrix and pack it in a heat-resistant vacuum bag.
We heat the resulting package until the plexiglass is completely softened and, with the help of a compressor, give it the shape of a gypsum matrix.
It should be noted that this procedure is rather complicated and time consuming. It is difficult to cope with it without the necessary skills and special equipment. Therefore, it is easier to resort to the services of specialists.
The rear lights are repaired in a similar manner. First, the parts of the destroyed optics are laid out on the table. Then, in the required sequence, glue the existing elements with glue.
As a rule, some parts after an accident will be lost or destroyed without the possibility of recovery. Therefore, it is necessary to prepare spare parts from a similar flashlight. First, we prepare a template for the missing element and cut out a piece of the desired shape with the utmost precision. We glue it and prepare the next element in the same way.After bonding, all seams must be carefully sanded and polished.

Headlight cracks are repaired using an adhesive:
We drill the edges of the cracks.
We wash and dry the surface.
Install the injector just above the crack and apply the glue.
After filling the crack with glue, remove the injector and control the absence of air bubbles in the polymer composition.
To make the glue harden faster, you can dry it with an ultraviolet lamp.
After the adhesive has completely dried, we remove the irregularities with a file, and then we grind and polish the lantern.
After filling the cracks, it is recommended to treat the joints with hardener.
We wash the headlight first, then dry it thoroughly. First, rough grinding is performed in several stages with a gradual increase in the grain size of the wheel. It is not recommended to press strongly to avoid overheating of the plastic. The time of one procedure should not exceed 3-4 minutes.
After rough sanding, we proceed to polishing. For this, wipes and polish are used. A small amount of the mixture is applied to a napkin and the surface is manually polished for 6-8 minutes. You can handle plastic headlights using a grinder. In this case, use low speed and avoid overheating of the surface.
It is recommended to polish the optics every 2 years, as well as after repairs and when cracks or chips appear. This procedure takes about 20-30 minutes and is not difficult.

The optics of a car during its operation are very susceptible to mechanical stress. This can happen due to the carelessness of the car owner himself or as a result of a collision. Today, all damaged parts can be replaced with new ones, just buy them in the store.
But often they are quite expensive (and finding spare parts for some cars is also quite problematic), so most car owners prefer to repair themselves.
The integrity of the optics can be restored in different ways, depending on the degree of its damage. For work, you may need special tools and a welding machine with a compressor. The fragments of the headlight are welded to them in case of violation of its integrity.
Headlight repair must begin with determining the material from which the optics are made. ... If the headlight is plastic, it can be repaired using cold welding, polypropylene optics can be restored using welding.
You also need to remember that when trying to connect different types of materials to each other, you should not rely on a strong connection.
The restoration of headlights is carried out not only in the case of their mechanical damage, but also with a slight haze. It greatly affects their ability to transmit light, and this can cause accidents at night. Common optical defects that a car owner may encounter:
Headlamp housing cracks
Damage to the elements of its fastening,
Depressurization of seams,
Various scratches and chips that occur during the operation of the vehicle.
Headlamp fogging is a seemingly minor problem that car owners usually don't pay attention to. But if such a defect is not removed within 1-2 months, the mirror layer of the deflector may begin to collapse. Due to the accumulation of moisture in this place, problems with oxidation of contacts, etc., may also begin.
Scratches on optics are a fairly common phenomenon and they also do not always get enough attention. The headlamp must be sanded and carefully polished. With this repair, you can get rid of even deep scratches and improve the appearance of the vehicle's optics.
Also on the headlight, you can find plaque that forms on the inside. The reason for its appearance may be the ingress of chemical reagents (usually with a contactless car wash). When exposed to high temperatures, such deposits can form a cloudy film and impair the ability of the headlamp to transmit light.
It is better to eliminate such a flaw in specialized auto repair shops, since it can be quite problematic to do the work with your own hands. The cracking of the headlight cover, which is found on many modern cars, is also a serious problem.
It can deteriorate over time due to natural causes, exposure to ultraviolet light or the negative effects of chemicals. In some cases, it is impossible to completely remove such a defect, because it is impossible to get to the damaged area either with your hand or with the help of special equipment.
If you are not confident in your abilities and the necessary practical skills, it is not recommended to restore plastic headlights. Indeed, in this case, there is a high risk of additional destruction of the plastic of the optics or its mirror layer.
Before starting all work, it is necessary to thoroughly clean the headlamp and conduct a careful visual inspection of the defect. Thus, it is possible to identify the presence of cracks in it, which must be completely eliminated. If this is not done, under the influence of constant vibrations, the network of cracks will expand and ruin the entire appearance and transmission capacity of the headlight.
If no such flaws were found, you can start repairing car headlights with your own hands. Repair of chips and scratches must be performed in full accordance with the technology and in the following sequence:
The cleavage site is thoroughly washed and completely dried.
In the center of the damaged area, it is necessary to install an injector, with its help, a polymer mixture is supplied for gluing.
The volume of the chip is filled with an adhesive, and care must be taken to avoid the formation of air bubbles.
After that, the injector is removed and the glue must be dried using an ultraviolet lamp. Repairing the headlamp reflector can be done in the same way.
Then, in order for the repaired site to have increased strength, it can be additionally treated with a hardener.
After the mixture has completely solidified, all surface irregularities are removed with a file. After that, the headlamp is polished using a grinder or fine abrasive paper, and then final polishing is carried out to give the optics a shine.
Repairs can be done in various ways, but the simplest method to remove defects from a plastic headlight is to weld it with hot air. In this way, the split-off parts of the optics can be returned to their place (the gluing method is not very effective in that case).
In the process of performing work, you need to remember one important detail - only one type of plastic can be welded. Failure to comply with this condition can lead to the fact that the repaired headlamp will last no more than a couple of weeks.
Repairing the headlight mounting is a much more complicated procedure and it is better to entrust the work to professionals. Welding this section will be ineffective and soon the headlight will become unusable again, so experienced craftsmen recommend repairing the headlight housing using prosthetics. Some metal parts are being replaced with others and the headlight is taking on its position.
To repair the headlight in the event that it has lost its transparency, you can use polishing and grinding. The dullness of the headlights is acquired due to the mechanical effect of particles that rise from the road surface during the operation of the car.
As a result, not only clouding, but also chips can form. At the manufacturing plant, polycarbonate is often used in the production of automotive optics. Such material is very durable, but its distinctive feature is that it is not resistant to mechanical stress and ultraviolet radiation.
Therefore, on top it is additionally covered with a special protective layer, which for some time protects the optics from the effects of negative environmental factors. In the process of repairing the headlight, it is very easy to damage this layer, and after removing it, after a couple of months, the headlight will need to be additionally polished due to defects that rapidly appear on it.
VIDEO
Therefore, in the process of performing work, it is necessary to apply a fine polish, which practically does not harm the protective layer of the optics. To remove deep chips and scratches, you yourself have to remove the protective layer applied at the factory, since it is simply impossible to do the work differently.
After the repair is completed, in order to further protect the headlight, it is recommended to cover it with an anti-gravel film.
The car is equipped with two rectangular headlights with a double-filament halogen lamp AKG12-60 + 55-1, power 55/60 W (low / high beam) and an A12 side light lamp with a power of 4 W.
An electric headlight corrector is installed on some of the cars, which regulates the direction of the beams depending on the load of the car.
The control knob for the electrocorrector is located on the instrument panel on the left side.
Side lighting, instrument lighting and headlights are switched on by a central light switch, which has a resistor for adjusting the brightness of the instrument lighting lamps.
The headlights from the low beam to the high beam are switched by the left steering column switch.
1. To replace the bulbs in the headlamp with the ignition off, turn the headlamp cover counterclockwise and remove it.
2. To replace the headlamp bulb, remove the connecting block from the outputs of the low-beam and high-beam lamps.
3. We remove the antennae of the spring clip from the grooves
4. We take out the faulty lamp.
Install the new lamp in reverse order.
A halogen lamp should not be held by the glass bulb with your hands, so as not to leave fingerprints. If this happens, wipe the lamp with alcohol. Otherwise, the lamp bulb may darken when turned on.
5. To replace the side light bulb, remove the cartridge
6. Pressing lightly on the lamp bulb and turning it counterclockwise, remove the lamp
7. To remove the headlight assembly, disconnect the connecting block of the lamp power wires
8. Disconnect the headlight range control unit.
9. Using the "10" head, unscrew the headlight mounting bolt in the engine compartment.
10. Using the "10" wrench, unscrew the two bolts
If the bumper interferes with the removal of the headlight, we first loosen the tightening of the two bolts securing the headlight bracket to the body with the head "by 10"
Video (click to play).
Install the headlamp in reverse order. Before tightening the mounting bolts, adjust the position of the headlight housing relative to the car parts mating with it. After assembly, we check the adjustment.
