DIY vaz 2110 optics repair

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.

1. We remove the headlights.
2. We disassemble them: remove glass and metal clips (there are 6 of them).
3. Cut off the sealant with a knife.
4. Cut off the U-shaped convex profile on the glass.
5. We unscrew 3 self-tapping screws from the back side.
6. Remove the paper reflector.
7. There is a spring near the hole of the hydrocorrector inside the illuminator, which must be removed.
8. 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:

1. On the adjusting screws, we cut the m3 thread.
2. We screw them into the illuminator, put on the washers.
3. We pull out the plastic fasteners.
4. We put on a bar with high and low beam modules.
5. From above we put on: a washer, a spring, another washer. It is desirable to use a locknut. We twist everything.
6. 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:

1. We drill a hole opposite the plastic latch on top of the headlight.
2. We insert a screwdriver into the hole.
3. We click the collet on the ball of the regulator.
4. We glue the drilled hole.
5. 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.
6. Carefully insert the canopy into the slot on the adjustment screw.
7. Move the screw so that the slot is in the narrow part of the canopy.
8. 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.
9. 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.
10. 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:

1. Is the reflector in place in the latch;
2. Is the thrust of the adjusting bolt in place;
3. Does the hydraulic corrector rod rest against the seat;
4. Is the thread slack (swap the high and low beam lamps)
5. 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:

1. We take out the hydrocorrector from the illuminator.
2. 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:

1. We find 2 wires in the Ш1 connector - yellow with black and yellow.
2. In the bundle from this connector, we take 3 wires: yellow-black, yellow and thin yellow-black.
3. Disconnect the wires under the cap from the washer reservoir and from the fluid level sensor.
4. We unscrew the nut that holds the washer reservoir.
5. We pull out a bundle of wires from under the left side member.
6. Cut off two pieces of wire from the yellow wire, pull them into the salon.
7. 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.
8. We connect the block.
9. We press the two yellow wires to the harness and the washer reservoir.
10. We put everything in place.
11. We cut off two pieces of wire 50 cm long, crimp the terminals for ground with them.
12. We attach all this together with the mass from the headlight on a hairpin.
13. We extend the fog optics wire in the front spar.
14. We pull out both wires at the headlight attachment point.
15. We squeeze a wide mass for each wire.
16. We put on the staples on the bumper, we put on the wires a block for a wide mother.
17. 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.
18. We attach a yellow wire to the lamp, and a black wire to the body.
19. We install the headlights in place.

This procedure will take about an hour and a half.

It is necessary to adjust the light beam of headlights quite often, especially on station wagons, when the trunk of the car is heavily loaded and the light is directed into the eyes of oncoming drivers. If at one point you notice that the reflector has fallen and the light adjustment does not work, then you can try to make DIY headlight repair 2110.

It will be about Kirzhach optics. First, we remove the headlights, and then we disassemble (remove the glass that is on the sealant and 6 metal clips.) Cut off the sealant around the perimeter with a knife:

Hello everyone! My name is Mikhail, now I'll tell you a story about how I managed to exchange a dvenashka for a 2010 Camry. It all started with the fact that I was wildly annoyed by the breakdowns of the two, like nothing serious broke, but on little things, damn it, so many things that really started to enrage. Here the idea was born that it was time to change the car to a foreign car. The choice fell on the tayet Camry of the tenths.

On the glass we cut off the convex U-shaped profile, and on the plastic the headlights are "convex". We remove the reflector from paper, for this we unscrew 3 small self-tapping screws from the back side.

Inside the headlight, in the area of ​​the hydraulic corrector hole, we see a spring that must be removed. Also 2 plastic roses from 2 "twists" that hold the reflector. Remove the reflector by squeezing the roses.

The ball at the tip snaps into the plastic, and the metal bobbin snaps into groove 2 and prevents the adjustment from being unscrewed further than it.

If, when adjusting the headlights, you twist the hydraulic corrector too much, then it is easy to break the metal stop / latch. Therefore, the ball jumped out of the plastic and the headlight "fell".

All headlight repairs will involve replacing the broken metal part with a plumbing gasket.

Such a rubber gasket is not quite the right decision, because it does not give a clear understanding of when the headlight adjustment has reached its extreme position and rested. Therefore, it can also be easily twisted again and will have to be repaired again.
It is more correct to modify the mount, for example, insert a cotter pin made of wire between the petals of this plastic piece.

Assembling the headlight in reverse order, clean the old sealant and apply a new one, install the glass.
Another way repair the hydraulic corrector:
We cut the m3 thread on the adjusting screws. Then we screw them into the headlight and put on the washers. We take out the plastic fasteners. We dress the bar with the low and high beam modules. From the top we put on another washer, then a spring, and another washer, and we twist this whole sandwich. It is advisable to use a lock nut and secure with an anaerobic sealant.

1. Particularly dexterous hands can try to snap the ball at the end of the "twist" into the plastic without removing the glass, acting through the holes on the back of the headlamp to change the bulbs.

2. Drill a hole at the top of the headlamp opposite the plastic catch. Insert a screwdriver into the hole and snap the collet onto the ball of the regulator. Don't forget to glue the drilled hole.

3. You will need one hinged hinge from furniture cabinets for each knot of the corrector that is torn out. The hinges are made of metal strips (5-6cm in length). They have several holes for attaching directly to the cabinet, and on top there is an oblong cutout with a hole on which it clings. We need to carefully slide our canopy into the slot on the adjusting screw and slide it so that the slot is in the narrow part of the canopy. Supporting the canopy so that it does not move, unscrew the screw with a little effort until it stops. Thus, we clamp and fix the canopy, which we place in a horizontal plane. Now we take an electric drill and with a 3mm drill we drill a hole in the metal base of the headlight, where there is a hole in the canopy. Now all that remains is to screw the self-tapping screw there, but not very long, otherwise it will rest against the reflector of the high beam. The slot on the canopy will secure the adjusting screw much more reliably and now it will not work to break it. The diagram in the photo.

The advantage of the method is that if the hydraulic corrector breaks down, you do not need to try to fix it, but it is easier to manually adjust the headlights. For one headlight we need:

1. The body of the old working proofreader.
2. M8 bolt, length 6-7-10cm.
3. Two nuts with slightly rounded edges to secure the bolt in the body.
4. Lock-nut.

Drill a hole on the back of the corrector body so that the bolt moves normally in it. The neatly ground nuts allow the structure to fit snugly. To be sure, you can put the nuts on the epoxy. The tail of the propeller is smooth.

Other problems with the VAZ 2110 headlights: bounce of light, or failure and repair of the headlight hydrocorrector, which is easier to replace with a more reliable electromechanical one.

Have you had to repair the VAZ headlight adjustment?

To drive a car more safely, the head lighting must be correctly adjusted in it. In particular, in this article we will talk about domestic “tens”.How are the headlights adjusted on the VAZ 2110 model, how to adjust the optics without disassembling it? You can find out about this below.

How to connect and adjust the daytime running lights, if the headlights do not shine well, what to do if the stop is not on or the dipped beam is not on?

Do-it-yourself adjustment of the VAZ 2110 headlights is carried out in two stages, for a start it will be useful for you to find out how to disassemble the VAZ 2110 headlight:

1. First of all, do not forget to remove the terminals from the battery.
2. Next, the headlights are removed on the VAZ 2110. You need to remove the glass in your car, separating them from the sealed base, for this, the optics must be preheated using a construction hair dryer. After heating, the structure of the stops or DRL on the VAZ 2110 must be cut with a knife. If you need to replace the headlamp glass, you can change it at this stage.
3. Then a convex profile in the form of the letter P should be cut on the lens.
4. After these steps, the paper reflective element is dismantled - to do this, unscrew the three small screws located on the back side. In the area of ​​the hydrocorrector, you can see the spring.
5. The next step will be to remove the spring and several plastic so-called roses, which fix the reflective element, by holding them.
6. The ball at the end of the baffle should snap into place.
7. Further, it is necessary to snap the metal coil into the second groove, this will prevent the regulating element from twisting out further than the fastening. In the event that the hydraulic corrector is tightened very strongly, this will lead to deformation of the steel stop. The ball can come out of the plastic, and the optics simply fall off.

Headlamp designation

How to remove a headlight on a VAZ 2110, we figured it out. It should be borne in mind that when twisting the corrector of the corrective element, you will have to face the need to replace the broken steel part with a rubber gasket, like the one used in plumbing. This solution cannot be called the most optimal, because due to the presence of a spacer, you will not be able to understand when the adjusted optics was adjusted to the extreme position.

Accordingly, in order for the light to burn and not disappear, you will have to twist the corrector again. To prevent this, the adjustment of the headlights of the VAZ 2110 must include another retainer, for example, a wire cotter pin, which can be installed between the petals of the aforementioned rose. Disassemble the structure as a whole carefully. Before connecting the tuned optics, you need to clean the remaining sealant and coat the headlamp around the perimeter with a new layer. Before removing the headlight on a VAZ 2110 and working with an electrician, the battery should be disconnected.

As for the alternative option for adjusting the optics, this method includes the following steps:

• it is necessary to cut the threads on the lighting adjustment mounts;
• then you need to tighten the screws and put on the washers in the lanterns;
• after that, the plastic clips are removed;
• mounting of a bar with low and high beam devices;
• another washer is installed on top of the bar, a spring and another washer are also mounted;
• the whole structure must be fixed with a counter nut (video by proVAZ-2110).

The headlights can be adjusted without dismantling them, but for this it is imperative to fulfill the following conditions:

1. The vehicle's gas tank must be full.
2. Lantern lenses must be rinsed to keep them clean.
3. The vehicle must be equipped with everything necessary - a spare wheel, tools, fire extinguisher, etc.
4. It is also important to ensure that the tires are not deflated.
5. You will need a flat, vertical surface such as a fence or wall. There should be enough free space in front of it - at least 8 meters.

Scheme for setting lighting on the "top ten"

The selected surface should be correctly marked out the wall, do it as shown in the figure.

So, how to adjust the headlights on a VAZ 2110:

1. The car is driven away from the wall and set in such a way that its longitudinal part passes through the center of the surface.
2. The lighting comes on.
3. The regulator of the hydrocorrector must be set to position 1 - driver.
4. Adjust the lighting as shown in the figure.

What to do if the emergency gang does not work, the dipped beam is gone, the stop does not work? If the brake lights do not light up and the headlights do not work, the first step is to check the performance of the relays responsible for their functionality. The operability of the lamps themselves is also checked - often they are the reason for the lack of lighting. If everything is in order with them, the problem in any case will be in the electrical part.

Installing xenon on a VAZ 2110 will provide better lighting for the car. In order for the car to have an original appearance, you can connect the DRL and tune this optics element. We have already written about how to change and how to connect daytime running lights in this article.

As for the replacement of lamps on the "top ten", it is carried out as follows:

1. First, you need to disconnect the wiring from the lights, and then dismantle the upper radiator grill, for this, unscrew a few bolts with a 10 spanner.
2. Next, you need to disconnect the wiring from the direction indicator elements and dismantle the hydrocorrector device. To do this, press the latch and rotate the device 90 degrees clockwise.
3. Unscrew the three optics fixing screws with a wrench, the headlight can be moved back. Move the so-called eyelash of the optics a few cm, pushing it over the edge from its engagement with the wing.
4. After these steps, you can loosen the two screws of the upper bumper retainer. Dismantle the so-called eyelash.
5. Now you just need to unscrew the last fixing nut with a wrench, after which the lantern can be raised and removed. If necessary, the headlight is repaired or tuned.

Sorry, there are currently no polls available.

How to polish the headlights on the top ten with your own hands using toothpaste, see the video below (the author of the video is Dima Artist).

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;

• 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
