Recently I had to change Bosch headlights to Kirzhach, it is written about Kirzhach
removing the headlights Bosch brought home, well, for the sake of interest I decided to look at the projection of Vosh's light on the wall, the result surprised me a little

then I was even more surprised when I examined the headlights more closely, on one of them the mount flew off as a result of the reflector hanging on one hook

Image - DIY headlight repair Bosch VAZ 2110

we remove the glass by unfastening the latches, since it's not a Kirzhach everything is simple

then we remove the reflector from the headlight housing and remove both halves of the fastener from it and from the adjusting screw

Video (click to play).

twisting them in my hands I took them away if I just put them together without alterations, then soon it will fly out again, now I remembered that once I already disassembled this headlamp just because of the flying fasteners, then I just put it back as it is without alterations, we see the result above, since it's too lazy to go to the markets, and you will also find such a trifle figs, I decided to make improvised means, namely a self-tapping screw and a washer,

by driving the self-tapping screw into the fastener in this way, without limiting the mobility of the structure, we exclude in the future the chances of this unit to fall apart

put everything back, put the reflector in the headlight housing

and put the glass back, the headlight mustache is ready for use

Many motorists, faced with headlight malfunctions in the VAZ 2110, try to repair the headlight on their own, so to speak, with their own hands, or improve the operation of the headlight by expanding its capabilities.
However, finding high quality optics is not easy. Most often, cheap headlights from China or Taiwan come to the market.
Especially xenon headlights or bulbs. They do not shine with the quality of workmanship, and the durability leaves much to be desired, according to the test results, they are inferior to the standard classic specimens.

The price of high-quality illuminators is considerable, however, they last several times longer. You can make repairs or modifications to the optics that are already available if you want to save money.
This can easily be done independently, the work does not require special knowledge or additional skills. Headlights for VAZ 2110 differ in technology and manufacturer.
Standard brands of headlights:

Bosch headlights (contain reflectors only, no focusing lens)
Kirzhach headlights (focusing lens and reflector are present)

The most common headlight faults are:

Broken hydraulic corrector, which is more practical to replace with an electric corrector;
Jitter of the light beam;
Knocked down beam adjustment.

Correcting the light beam happens quite often, especially when the trunk of the car is heavily loaded, the light strikes directly into the eyes of the drivers of cars moving towards you. If the reflector has gone down, and the adjustment does not work, our instructions will help you repair the VAZ 2110 headlight hydrocorrector, the repair will take very little time.

We unscrew the headlight fasteners and remove them;
We disassemble the headlights: carefully remove the glass, then metal clips (6 pieces);
Using a knife, we clean the glass from the sealant;
Cut off the convex profile (in the shape of the letter P) on the glass;
We unscrew the self-tapping screws (there are 3 of them) from the back side;
We take out the paper reflector;
There is a spring located near the hole of the hydrocorrector inside the illuminator body, which must be removed;
We perform the same actions with two plastic rosettes from two "turntables" that attach the reflector.

For your information: The ball of the hydrocorrector snaps into the plastic groove, and the metal bobbin into the second groove. It stops the adjustment, preventing it from unscrewing further than itself.
If you squeeze the hydrocorrector when adjusting the headlights, the metal latch will break. The ball will jump out of the plastic and then the headlight will "fall";

The repair will consist in replacing the broken latch with a gasket, which will not make it clear that the adjustment rested against the extreme position;

Broken iron hydraulic corrector latch

Rubber pad to replace a broken latch

As a result, there is a high probability that the corrector is squeezed again;
The correct solution is to improve the fastening by inserting a cotter pin made of hard wire between the petals of the plastic piece.

For VAZ 2110, the repair of the headlight hydrocorrector is over. We assemble the headlights in the reverse order to disassembly.
We pre-clean the old sealant, then apply a new one.

We cut a thread on the adjustment screws (metric 3);
We twist them into the illuminator itself, then put on the washers;
We take out the plastic fasteners;
We put on the bar with the high beam and low beam modules located on it;
From above we put on: a washer, on a spring washer, on top of the spring there is another washer. The use of a locknut is recommended;
We twist everything;
We fix the structure with an anaerobic sealant.

You can snap the ball into the plastic at the end of the "turntable" without removing the glass, through the light bulbs on the back of the illuminator:

We drill a hole strictly opposite the latch at the top of the headlight;
Insert the screwdriver into the hole;
We fix the collet on the corrector ball;
We glue the hole we drilled;
We attach it along a hinged hinge from a furniture cabinet (hinges 5-6 centimeters long, with mounting holes and with a cutout on top, on which it is attached) to each broken off node of the corrector;
We put the canopy into the slot of the adjustment screw;
We move the screw so that the slot is in the narrow place of the canopy;
Holding the canopy, unscrew the screw with effort until it stops. This is how the canopy is fixed, which needs to be placed in a horizontal position;
With an electric drill, using a 3 mm drill bit, make a hole in the base of the illuminator where the hole is on the canopy;
We twist a shortened self-tapping screw into the hole so that it does not reach the high beam reflector. This slot fixes the adjustment screw securely, it will break again.

Many owners of the VAZ 2110 find that light shaking is observed when the car is moving. Such a breakdown often manifests itself in Kirzhach headlights, and such breakdown rarely occurs in Bosch parts.
There is only one reason: the rattling of the reflector.
To eliminate light jitter, check:

Whether the reflector is in place in the latch;
The presence of the thrust of the adjusting bolt;
An emphasis on the seating recess of the hydraulic corrector rod;
We check the sagging of the thread (we swap the high beam and low beam bulbs);
The integrity of the tube in the hydrocorrector (it can fray).

The most successful ways to eliminate jitter are:

We replace the hydrocorrector with an electrocorrector;
We increase the length of the hydraulic corrector rod to tighten the spring.

This method allows you to get rid of light shake by putting a cap on the hydrocorrector rod..

Instead of a cap, use:

Plastic dowel, eight millimeters long;
The cap removed from the brake union;
Another plastic cap.

We take out the hydrocorrector itself from the illuminator;
We put a cap on the corrector rod tightly. The main thing is that the cap does not slip inward;
We install the corrector in the landing slot

Sometimes the entire headlamp needs to be replaced.
The work is done without any problems:

Disconnect the negative terminal from the battery;
We take out the radiator lining;
We remove the block along with the wires;
Press on the latch of the hydraulic corrector cylinder, turn it clockwise 90 degrees until it stops;
We take it out of the recess, without disconnecting it from the hoses;

We take out the block with wires, we take out the hydrocorrector

We unscrew the bolts securing the headlight (shown in the photo with white arrows), and push the headlight itself back;

Unscrew the bolts securing the headlight

We move the pad about four centimeters to the center of the car so that its hook comes out of the mount with the wing;

Loosen the screws securing the buffer

Press on half of the lining so that the flange comes out of the mount, and take out the lining;
Unscrew the fixing nut of the illuminator from below;

Disconnect the block from the direction indicator lamp, pull the illuminator towards you and take it out;
We unscrew the fastening screws for disassembling the illuminator;
We separate the headlamp from the direction indicator;

Separating the headlamp from the turn signal

On the body of this indicator, we unhook two hooks from the body of the optics part;
We assemble in the reverse order of this and install the headlight assembly.

Congratulations! Do-it-yourself headlight replacement is completed, if anything remains incomprehensible to you, I recommend watching the video on request VAZ 2110 headlights repair.

Car enthusiasts often tune their car headlights to improve their appearance. A well-made tuning gives the car a fashionable look and beauty.
If you choose the right accessory, the appearance of dozens changes thoroughly.The most popular among motorists is headlight tuning in the form of toning.
It is carried out in a variety of ways that practically do not affect the brightness and quality of road lighting.
Types of headlights tinting:

Headlight mask painting;
Glass coloring;
Glass tinting with film.

The process of such tinting is best shown in the video.
For those who don't want to paint or tint the headlights themselves, there are ProSport headlights. They are sold already in black or chrome.
You just need to install them instead of the standard headlights. Only they cannot boast of high quality or bright light.

It is extremely rare to replace the headlight on a VAZ 2110-2112 car, and in most cases this need arises in the event of an accident or other damage in which it is no longer possible to restore the headlamp unit. You can remove the headlight yourself and for this you need the following tool:

8 mm head
Extension
Ratchet handle

Since cars of the tenth family, such as VAZ 2110, 2111 and 2112, are identical with regards to the front of the body, the procedure for replacing headlights will be the same.

I recently shot a detailed video report on this topic, so an overview from my channel will be presented below.

This example was shown on the right headlight, of course, everything is done on it a little easier than on the left one. But in fact, there is practically no difference:

The first step is to remove the radiator grill by unscrewing the two bolts of its fastening from above:And we remove the grill, bending the fastening clips from the bottom:Next, you need to unscrew one bolt securing the headlight from below, as shown in the photo below:After that, we get rid of the lower headlight cover, between it and the front bumper:After that, disconnecting from the inside all the power wires from the bulbs, as well as the headlight corrector tube, and then you can remove the headlight without any problems, since nothing else holds it.Installation is carried out in reverse order. As for the price of a new headlight, then on a VAZ 2110 it can be from 1000 rubles apiece. The price, of course, also depends on the type of headlight (lens or conventional) and on the manufacturer (Bosch or Kirzhach).Often, motorists are faced with the problem of dismantling the headlight, due to the reason for its damage or for disassembling other components and assemblies. On the VAZ-2110, you can easily dismantle the light element with your own hands.

Disconnect the headlight wiring and take out the corrector.

We unscrew the fasteners and dismantle the radiator grill.

We unscrew the headlight fasteners.

We snap off the mounts and take out the eyelash from under the headlights.

We unscrew the bolts of the central block of the eyelash.

Find and unscrew the hidden headlight mounting bolt.

Using a screwdriver, unscrew the turn signal from the headlight unit.

The headlight has now been removed. The headlamp unit is installed in the reverse order to parsing.

When the headlight is removed from the car, you can begin the disassembly process. It should be understood that over the entire period of car production, the appearance and body of the headlight changed, so the disassembly will be different, but still the processes are similar to each other.

Headlights produced by Kirzhach and Bosch were installed on the VAZ-2110.

Consider the dismantling process separately.

In disassembling headlights Kirzhach, there is nothing complicated. The glass itself is glued to the sealant. Therefore, to remove it, you need a clerical knife. Consider, step by step, the operation itself:

Using a clerical knife, cut the sealant to detach the headlight glass.

Old and new headlamp glass with sealant.

Dismantling the Bosch headlight is slightly different from Kirzhach, namely, the presence of the headlight glass latches to the body.

All other operations are carried out this way. As in the case of the Kirzhach headlamp, it is necessary to use a sealant during assembly, despite the presence of latches.

Disconnect the glass from the case using a screwdriver.

Dismantling and disassembling the headlight on the VAZ-2110, as practice shows, is not difficult. Difficulties may arise during assembly especially when gluing glass and body. Otherwise, there shouldn't be any special problems.

Many car owners of domestic cars, faced with problems in the headlights, try to repair this part on their own, or install additional options. The optics on the VAZ 2110, currently on the market, will not only improve the appearance of the car, but also significantly increase driving safety.

The illuminators offered by different manufacturers can fit into the concept of the tenth family and favorably emphasize those points that make the car more attractive.

Finding high-quality optics for this model of a domestic car is not so easy. Often these parts come to our market from China and Taiwan. This is especially true for xenon headlights and lamps. They do not differ in the quality of workmanship, and their durability, according to the results of tests, is inferior to standard factory copies. High-quality illuminators cost a lot, but they have a long service life.

They do not have to be changed often when buying new ones. But if there is no desire to buy new optics, you can make improvements to the one that is available. You can do this yourself, because this work does not require any special knowledge or skills.

The headlights on the VAZ 2110 differ not only in technology, but also in the manufacturer.

The most common malfunctions of this car part are:

Breakage of the hydraulic corrector, which is better to replace with an electrical corrector,
Trembling light
Incorrect adjustment of the light beam.

It is often necessary to adjust the light beam, especially with a heavily loaded trunk of a car, when the light is directed into the eyes of drivers traveling to a meeting. If the reflector has fallen, and the adjustment does not work, you can easily repair the VAZ 2110 headlight corrector with your own hands.An example of the repair procedure is presented on the Kirzhach optics.

We remove the headlights.
We disassemble them: remove glass and metal clips (there are 6 of them).
Cut off the sealant with a knife.
Cut off the U-shaped convex profile on the glass.
We unscrew 3 self-tapping screws from the back side.
Remove the paper reflector.
There is a spring near the hole of the hydrocorrector inside the illuminator, which must be removed.
We perform the same actions with two plastic rosettes from two "twists" holding the reflector.

The ball snaps into the plastic and the metal bobbin into the second groove. She does not allow the adjustment to be twisted further than herself. If you twist the hydraulic corrector while adjusting the headlights, you can break the metal latch. The ball pops out of the plastic and the headlight falls. The whole repair will consist in replacing the metal broken part with a plumbing gasket, which does not make it clear when the adjustment has reached its extreme position. As a result, you can twist it again. It would be more correct to modify the mount: insert a cotter pin made of wire between the petals of this plastic piece.

We assemble the headlights in the reverse order, cleaning the old sealant and applying a new one.

There is another way to repair a hydraulic corrector:

On the adjusting screws, we cut the m3 thread.
We screw them into the illuminator, put on the washers.
We pull out the plastic fasteners.
We put on a bar with high and low beam modules.
From above we put on: a washer, a spring, another washer. It is desirable to use a locknut. We twist everything.
We fix the structure with an anaerobic sealant.

Particularly clever, you can try to snap the ball at the end of the "twist" into the plastic without removing the glass through the holes for changing bulbs on the back of the illuminator part. For this:

We drill a hole opposite the plastic latch on top of the headlight.
We insert a screwdriver into the hole.
We click the collet on the ball of the regulator.
We glue the drilled hole.
We take one hinged hinge from the furniture cabinet for each knot torn out in the corrector. Hinges 5-6 cm long have holes for fastening to the cabinet and an oblong cutout on top with a hole on which it clings.
Carefully insert the canopy into the slot on the adjustment screw.
Move the screw so that the slot is in the narrow part of the canopy.
While supporting the canopy, we unscrew the screw with an effort until it stops. This is how the canopy is clamped and fixed, which must be placed in a horizontal plane.
With an electric drill with a 3mm drill, we make a hole in the metal base of the illuminator in the place where there is a hole on the canopy.
We wrap a not very long self-tapping screw there so that it does not rest against the reflector of the high beam. This slot will secure the adjusting screw securely and will not break.

Some owners of the domestic VAZ 2110 noticed that the light trembles while driving. Such a problem often appears in Kirzhach headlights, but in this part from Bosch this phenomenon rarely occurs. Cause: Rattling of the reflector itself.

To eliminate the shake of light, you need to check:

Is the reflector in place in the latch;
Is the thrust of the adjusting bolt in place;
Does the hydraulic corrector rod rest against the seat;
Is the thread slack (swap the high and low beam lamps)
Is the tube frayed in the hydrocorrector?

Some of the most successful troubleshooting methods include:

Replacing the hydrocorrector with an electrocorrector.
Increasing the length of the hydraulic corrector rod, which will help to tighten the spring.

This folk method allows you to get rid of the jerking of light by putting a cap on the hydrocorrector rod.

Use as a cap:

plastic dowel 8mm long,
a cap from a brake union,
another plastic cap.

The procedure is simple:

We take out the hydrocorrector from the illuminator.
We put a cap tightly on its stem. It is important that it does not slip inside.

We insert the hydrocorrector into the seat.

Sometimes the VAZ 2110 headlamp unit must be completely replaced. The job shouldn't be too difficult.

1. Disconnect the wire from the "-" terminal of the battery.

2.Remove the radiator grille.

3. Disconnect the wiring block.

4. Press the latch of the hydraulic corrector cylinder, turn it clockwise 90 ° until it stops.

5. Take it out of the socket without disconnecting it from the hoses.

6. Unscrew the three mounting bolts and move the headlamp back.

7. Move the cover to the center of the car by about 4 cm so that its hook comes out of engagement with the wing.

8. In order to move the pad, loosen the tightening of the bumper mounting bolts from above to press it forward.

9. Press down on the bottom of the pad so that the flange disengages easily and remove the pad.

10. Unscrew the nut of the lower fixture of the illuminator.

11. Disconnect the block from the direction indicator, push the illuminator towards you and remove it.

12. Unscrew the fastening screws for disassembling the illuminator.

13. Disconnect the headlamp and the direction indicator.

14. We remove two hooks on the indicator body from engagement with the body of the optics part.

15. In the reverse order, we assemble and install the headlamp unit.

In addition to troubleshooting, car owners often tune the VAZ 2110 headlights, thereby improving the appearance of the car. A well-made tuning will enable the car to look more fashionable, more modern and more beautiful. If you choose the right accessory, you can change the appearance of the "dozens" quite dramatically.

The most popular tuning of the front optics in the form of tinting.

It can be carried out in various ways that have little or no effect on road lighting.

The process of painting optical parts is shown in the video.

For those who do not want to paint or tint, you can purchase ProSport headlights for the VAZ 2110. They are already sold in black or chrome. It remains only to install them in place of the old regular ones. However, they are not of high quality and bright light.The second most popular tuning method is the installation of VAZ 2110 fog lamps, which are a useful thing, but domestic cars are rarely equipped with them. The process of installing fog lights is not difficult, but you can do it on your own. There are VAZ 2110 fog lights, both corrugated, scattering light, and transparent, shining spots. The latter are considered fashionable, but they are worse in use. To connect such optics, you additionally need to purchase:

key,

headlight frames,

key indicator (yellow),

relay,

wires,

the terminal is narrow and wide "mother",

the terminal is narrow and wide "daddy",

terminal ground,

plastic pads.

The diagram for switching on the fog lights is shown in the photo.Operating procedure:

We find 2 wires in the Ш1 connector - yellow with black and yellow.

In the bundle from this connector, we take 3 wires: yellow-black, yellow and thin yellow-black.

Disconnect the wires under the cap from the washer reservoir and from the fluid level sensor.

We unscrew the nut that holds the washer reservoir.

We pull out a bundle of wires from under the left side member.

Cut off two pieces of wire from the yellow wire, pull them into the salon.

We clean the wires, crimp them with dad terminals, insert the wires into the block so that the yellow-black wire joins the marked wire.

We connect the block.

We press the two yellow wires to the harness and the washer reservoir.

We put everything in place.

We cut off two pieces of wire 50 cm long, crimp the terminals for ground with them.

We attach all this together with the mass from the headlight on a hairpin.

We extend the fog optics wire in the front spar.

We pull out both wires at the headlight attachment point.

We squeeze a wide mass for each wire.

We put on the staples on the bumper, we put on the wires a block for a wide mother.

We prepare the lights ourselves: we install the bulbs in them so as not to touch them with our fingers. Otherwise, they will burst immediately when heated.

We attach a yellow wire to the lamp, and a black wire to the body.

We install the headlights in place.

This procedure will take about an hour and a half.The content of the article:Everyone knows that Bosch headlights do not illuminate the road well at night. When driving on the near one, it is hard to see, the road runs away, and on the far one, you interfere with oncoming cars.I suggest you go with me on an unforgettable journey to tuning Bosch VAZ 2110 headlights.
Let's start with the fact that we need to remove and disassemble the headlight. I won't tell you how to remove and disassemble the headlight. There are many entries on this topic on the Internet, and step by step. We need to slightly change the design of the headlights, namely, replace the H1 lamps with H7.
In my opinion, the H7 lamp fits perfectly into this headlight. The dimensions of the H1 and H7 lamps are the same both in height and in the location of the chrome thread. Look at the photo here:You can drill the hole you need with such a circular saw.We disassemble, remove all the saws we do not need. The closest to the center is our saw, which will drill a hole in the headlight reflector. You need to drill a hole so that the H7 lamp is completely immersed in the hole and only stays on the shoulder. Taking his son as his assistant (he was holding a reflector), armed with a drill and loading our saw into the chuck, he drilled a hole. Drilling does not smell good, so it's best to drill outside. Here's what happened.By the way, you can also drill with another tool. For example, I have such a thing. In our store, it costs 30 rubles!Trying on our lamps N. They stand up perfectly, and are locked with the same clamps that held the lamps N. Here, in principle, with drilling and that's it. Now we take a soldering iron and plug it into an outlet, and in the meantime we cut off the “+” and “-” terminals that supply the H1 lamp with electricity. We clean the wires, solder other terminals (mothers). We need 4 of them per headlight. We also need a shrink cambric. Taking advantage of the moment, I inserted LEDs into the dimensions of the lamps. Here's what happened.I don’t know about the others, but my reflector kept falling off. This is how I solved this problem:I just drilled a hole in advance, and, without tightening it to the end, screwed in a screw with a washer. Now is not going anywhere.
As for the lamps, I took “Novator” and “Narva”, 55 w each.After installing the headlights on the car and adjusting them (by the way, I installed the lamp with the cuts of the beads up), I drove out into an unlit section of the road in the dark. I was very surprised with my result. Now everything is very clearly visible on the nearest one - not only the road itself, but also the edge of the roadside. The headlights do not shine 10 meters from the bumper, but farther and better. Here is a photo from the car. This is the neighbor.In the photo there is a high beam, about 35 steps from the car.I called my friend, he also had a “dozen” with Bosch headlights. Made a comparison of my headlights and his on the same stretch of road. Here's what happened. This is a low beam on a friend's car.I took this photo while standing between cars. There is also a difference!This photo is also from about 35 steps at close range. On the right is a friend's car, on the left is mine!Maybe many will begin to condemn me that I have spoiled the headlights, etc. I'll tell you honestly: before tuning, I tried to install Osram, Philips, and many others - the result did not suit me.
And finally I want to say (well, just food for thought): now you can insert H4 instead of H7 lamps.Standing against the wall, I hesitated to regulate them. He spat on everything, took them off and brought them home. Disassembled them completely. And, looking at the reflector itself, I realized why I could not adjust them. But because of whatIt is because of him that everything happens. Cap, his mother. I changed the bulbs in the xenon headlights in the summer to a friend. I changed it, but he wanted to throw out the lamps. I twisted them in my hands, I did not let him do it. I took them for myself. I really liked the caps on these lamps that are installed on them.The cap is held by two small screws. I threw out the lamps and tidied up the caps. And now, looking at my headlights, I remembered about these caps. The cap itself with the H7 lamp was not included, and I had to work a little with sandpaper. Damn, I was so carried away that I didn't take a photo of my caps. I hope you will forgive me! I divided the upper part with scissors for the iron, the cap itself. And it turned out like in Kirzhach's lenses. All this was done so that a strip would appear on the wall, and not a beam of light in different directions. Here is a photo by the wall as it was in the summerSeparately, they shine like this. LeftOnce again about the cap.And then I did not understand. We look at a photo of xenon. The photo shows the cap itself - it is on top of the lamp itself. It is held in place by 2 screws. And at the base of the lamp there are also 2 screws, they are also unscrewed. So I took not one cap, which is on top, but together with the “leg” that holds the cap. If you disassemble xenon, it turns out that it consists of 3 parts. Well, something like this.
Probably it is possible to modify the existing cap, but I did not. Well, I didn’t like him.
Is it blind or not? No, it doesn't blind! The photo that I attached below shows the camera. With the eyes, if you look, then the effect is completely different.The following photos are in garages. This is the neighborIt will seem to many that they are the same. But look at the neighboring garages and the gates in the distance.
It is at a distance of about 60 - 70 meters with a flashYou can see it well on wet asphalt. In the snow you can see how.The content of the article:
1. Repair of repeaters of direction indicators VAZ 2110
2. Installation of LEDs in turn signalsThe VAZ-2110 can be equipped with a headlight unit such as Bosch or Avtosvet.Block headlights vary in design.Dipped beam headlamp "Avtosvet" - with a flat screen and a lens between the lamp and the diffuser, the headlamp diffuser is glued to the body, the side light lamp is located in the main beam headlamp. Bosch low-beam headlamp - without a lens, with a screen-cap on the lamp, side light bulb - in the dipped-beam headlamp. The direction indicators for both headlamp units are the same, the attachment points are the same: at the top - with bolts to the upper cross member of the radiator frame, at the bottom - with a nut to the stud on the mudguard bracket and with a bolt - to the radiator frame strut. The headlights are equipped with single-filament lamps of low and high beam.When the low beam headlights are turned on, the low beam lamps are on, and when the high beam is turned on, all lamps (both low and high beam). The voltage to the dipped and main beam lamps is supplied, respectively, through the K4 and K5 relays of type 904.3747-10, located in the mounting block. The switching voltage of the relay at a temperature of 20 ± 5 ° C is no more than 8 V, the winding resistance is 85 ± 8.5 Ohm. The voltage is applied to the relay coils if the button of the outdoor lighting switch is fully pressed (then the choice between the low and high beam - depending on the position of the steering column switch for the headlights) or - regardless of the position of the switch - if the driver pulls the steering column switch towards himself (then the high beam turns on headlights).Disconnect the negative cable from the battery.Professional installation of headlights on a VAZ 2110 will cost at least 3 thousand rubles. This is without taking into account the purchase of the optics itself. Is it realistic to do the work with your own hands? Of course.

Left headlight Kirzhach on VAZ 2110

Not all motorists know which headlamp unit is provided for the VAZ 2110. But in fact, option 2:

Domestic headlights Kirzhach for VAZ 2110;
Bosch foreign headlights for VAZ 2110 (manufacturer - Germany).

It would seem that we are talking about products of German quality, which, by definition, should be better than their domestic counterpart. But in reality, things are a little different.Let's look at the key features of Kirzhach and Bosch headlights in order to determine which ones are worth choosing for your VAZ 2110 model.

The task of any low beam is to provide good visibility of the roadway at night, while at the same time avoiding the dazzle of oncoming traffic. The headlights of the German and domestic manufacturers cope with these functions equally well.

The headlights from Kirzhach have a low beam lens, and a reflector is provided for the high beam. German products have two reflectors - for low and high beam. The lighting is the same in the end, but Bosch has better brightness.

Lenses are actually better than reflectors. They create a clearer line of light, allow xenon optics to be installed.

As a study of the reviews of VAZ 2110 owners using German devices shows, they are distinguished by the worst illumination in the low beam mode.

Bosch headlights have a very important plus for many - when the car is moving in cloudy and rainy weather, a better glow is provided compared to the Kirzhach device. It's all about the larger surface of the low beam reflector.
