We learn to install and connect PTF on a Priora with our own hands

The importance of anti-fog optics cannot be underestimated. Everyone knows that fog lights on Priora allow better illumination of the road surface when driving in fog. Therefore, in order to protect themselves while driving, many car owners decide to install PTF themselves. You can learn about the process of installing and connecting the lights below.

Installation Guide

Before installing and connecting fog lights on Priora 2, weigh your strengths. If installing fog lights on a Priora 2 or restyling may cause difficulties, then it is better to contact an electrician. A specialist, like no one else, knows how to install headlights on a Priora and how to connect fog lights. If you decide to do everything yourself, then first prepare the necessary tool. To do this, you only need a set of keys and screwdrivers, as well as pliers (the author of the video about choosing fog optics for the Priora is the Simple Opinion channel).

Algorithm of actions

To ensure that installing fog lights on a Priora SE or 2 does not cause difficulties, simply follow the instructions:

First you need to disconnect the battery, remove the negative terminal from it, and then disconnect the front bumper clips. Self-tapping screws for its dismantling are located on the sides, bottom and top. You need to unscrew them and remove the bumper.
Next, you can move on to the stubs. The plugs are also fixed using self-tapping screws, but to unscrew them it will be more convenient to use a short screwdriver with a Phillips blade.
Fog lights on Lada Priora 2 are mounted instead of previously removed plugs. To ensure that the lights are securely fixed, they can be secured using the same screws.
After completing these steps, you need to find the longest cable in the PTF kit. This wire is connected to the left headlight, after which it is routed to the right headlight. And then the wire must be pulled from the battery side into the engine compartment.
Using an AN 10 wrench, it is necessary to dismantle the expansion tanks in the engine compartment, which will interfere with the process. Having done this, using a 13mm wrench you will need to unscrew the fastenings of the windshield wiper blades. Eventually you will need to gain access to the left edge of the trim, and to do this you will need to remove the guard itself. When these steps are completed, the pipe can be moved to the side, and then loosen the clamp. The upholstery can then be completely removed.
Your task is to lay and stretch the wires from the lights through the plug into the vehicle interior, and then secure them with a clamp. This clamp should be included in the kit for the PTF Priora 2.
When the PTFs are installed on the restyled Priora, all elements are assembled in the reverse order. Don't forget to connect the wires to the crankcase protection screws.

Connection diagram

The installed fog optics will need to be connected.

The PTF connection diagram is as follows:

First of all, in the car interior, under the steering column, you will need to remove the protective cover. To do this, the three latches should be rotated 90 degrees.
Having done this, under the mounting fuse block you will be able to see a self-tapping screw - you need to unscrew it, after which you will have access to dismantling the block. In any case, the anti-fog optics kit should come with installation instructions and it must contain a connection diagram. Please use this as a guide during installation.
Next, you can move on to the torpedo. On the center console, you need to remove the plug, as well as the button for activating the rear window heating system. These components are installed near the clock.
Next, you will need the fog light button that comes with the kit. The blue wire must be connected to the mounting block, and all other wires are connected to the heating button. This can be done using special clamps, which are also included in the kit.
At the final stage of connection, you will need to install the relay responsible for the operation of the fog lights in the unit. When performing this task, be careful - the wires that come from the engine compartment must be connected to F18 and F17, and the yellow cable should also be connected to the same contacts. The connection procedure is described in more detail in the diagram.

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.

When all these conditions are met, you can begin adjustment. First of all, the vehicle must be placed on the most level surface, this will allow you to get the most accurate result. If this condition is not met, the adjustment will be incorrect. The setting is done in front of a wall or garage door, this is a prerequisite.

To begin the adjustment, measure the distance from the ground to the middle of the lantern. After this, you should draw a straight line on the wall or garage door that corresponds to the distance measured earlier. Having done this, you will need to draw another stripe - it should be 5 centimeters lower, while the first line can be erased. The anti-fog optics should be adjusted so that the upper limit of illumination is located on the horizontal strip that you draw on the network.

Law and GOST

It is necessary to take into account one of the important points when installing PTF is subsequent adjustment and LAW. According to traffic rules, lighting equipment should not blind cars moving in the opposite direction. To do this, it is imperative to adjust the headlights.

It is prohibited to install lamps not specified by the manufacturer, such as xenon and LED. PTF priors must have H11 type halogen lamps installed.

Gas discharge

Xenon allows you to make fog lights as bright and effective as possible. The service life of high-quality xenon is about three years, but xenon can be used for foglights only in accordance with strict rules, violation of which will not result in a fine, but in deprivation of rights for up to one year. So, for xenon, you can only use special headlights marked “D”, and an automatic corrector is required. Self-installation of xenon in fog lights is more complex than other types of lamps, but if installed correctly, the result will please you for several years in a row. The disadvantages of gas-discharge lamps, in addition to their high cost, include the need to replace both lamps if only one burns out.

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.

Other models of fog lights for LADA Priora

Not only fog lights for Lada Priora from Bosch and Avtosvet can now be purchased in specialized stores.
If for some reason these options do not suit you, there are models from other manufacturers, in particular: diode Orion-7, Ryazan Automotive Lighting, also produced by Ryazan and DAAZ. Chinese-made fog lights should not be discounted either, especially since they produce both diode and lensed fog lights. You can also purchase special frames for the restyled Priora, which are installed instead of the plug and leave a hole for the old-style foglights installed on the 1st version of the Priora.

Basic Setup Aspects

Adjusting the fog lights

When the installation is complete, you are convinced that the fog lights are operational, it’s time to move on to adjusting them:

We park the car on a flat surface, it is important that there is a wall, a garage door or something like that in front.
Check to see if the tire pressure is the same.
We measure the distance from the middle of the headlight to the asphalt (ground).
Subtract 5 cm from the distance of the headlights to the floor, draw a strip on the wall corresponding to this value.
We turn on the fog lights and adjust them so that the upper limit of the light flux is on a horizontal line.

Diagram of correct installation of fog lights

On Priora, fog lights are installed according to the same rules as any other car. Installation is carried out at a height of no more than half a meter from the level of the road surface. Low-mounted fog lights are out of the wet condensation zone and can actually significantly improve visibility. If you install PTFs on the roof of the trunk (as jeep owners often do), then they will turn out to be completely useless, especially during fog, rain, or a snow or dust storm. Therefore, the most effective way was and remains to install foglights under the bumper (for outdated metal structures) or directly into it (for new generation metal structures).

The fog lights that you install on your Priora must meet not only all traffic regulations, but also UN standards. The latest changes clearly state that any fogs must distribute light at a wide angle and have a clearly defined upper border. The dispersion index should be seventy degrees horizontally. Only a device with such characteristics will create an anti-fog effect.

Most often, fog lights with a halogen illuminator inside are installed on the Priora. They are enough to ensure that the space thirty meters in front of the car is sufficiently illuminated in any weather.

Connecting Priora foglights

Let's take a closer look at the connection diagram for the Priora fog lights. The fog lights are controlled by the lighting control unit. Specifically, the switches for the front (A5) and rear (A4) fog lights. Upon examination, we can only notice one wire to enable each option. This wire passes through pin 2 to both switches through various resistances because it is a signal wire. It runs from the electrical package control controller to the switch. From the controller side, a stabilized voltage is supplied to this wire. The electrical package control unit controls changes in the amount of current passing through it.

Turn on the rear fog lights.

The rear fog lights of the Priora are turned on as follows. When you press the button on the module (A4), the wire from the electrical package control controller is connected through a negative resistance. In this case, a current of the appropriate magnitude will flow through the circuit, so the controller will receive a signal that this button is pressed. If there is power at pin 14 of block X2 and the low beam headlights are on (see “Prior headlight diagram”), then the processor, through the appropriate key, will supply power to pins 10 and 13 of block X3, to which the rear wiring harness is connected. Voltage will be supplied to the rear fog lamps and to the lighting control module. At the same time, the indicator light on the module will light up.

Turn on the fog lights.

Connecting the Priora fog lights is almost the same. The difference is in the value of resistance, and accordingly in the value of the passing current. Based on the current value, the processor of the lighting control controller determines the position of the front fog lamp button. Therefore, if there is power at pin 12 of the X2 block, the side lights are turned on (see “Prior Dimensions”), power will be supplied to pin 19 of the X2 block.

The green wire with a black stripe will supply voltage to the coil of the K10 electromagnetic relay. The coil armature will be attracted and close the contacts. In this case, fuses F17 and F18 with a nominal value of 10A will receive power, and from them, through the connecting connector of the instrument panel harness and the front harness, the lamps in the fog lights will receive power. In addition, the LED on the lighting control module will receive power from fuse F17, signaling that the headlights are on.

When you press both power buttons simultaneously, the current value will also change. Since in a parallel connection the total resistance is always less than the smaller one. That is, the value of the passing current will be maximum. Connecting Priora foglights according to this scheme makes troubleshooting very difficult, without the presence of diagnostic equipment for the electrical package control controller. If malfunctions occur, it is necessary to check the integrity of fuses, relays, operation of side lights and low beam headlights.

Types of lamps for PTF

If PTFs are installed by an automaker, then they use standard halogen lamps. Many motorists are not satisfied with them, which forces them to find replacement options. There are currently three types of lamps on the market that can be used for fog lights:

halogen;
LED;
gas-discharge or xenon.

Before choosing the final replacement option, you should find out which bulbs are in the foglights

.
The main difficulty for most drivers is to correctly decide which lamps are best to install in fog lights - each of them has certain advantages and disadvantages.

Life hack: PTF on Priora - installation, configuration, tools

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.

Prices for headlights and work

Installing headlights in the showroom (where you buy a car) will cost 2,000 - 3,000 rubles, plus the price of fog lights is 2,600 rubles, which is much more expensive than in a store. Installation of fog lights in a car service center averages from 1,500 to 2,000 rubles. You can buy headlights yourself. It is not necessary to pay money for installation, because fog lights can be installed on your own.

The price of a set of fog lights varies from 1200 to 1800 rubles. For headlights you need to purchase a connection kit - 400 rubles.

How to adjust the light flow

In order to prepare for testing and debugging fog lights, the Priora should be placed in conditions as close as possible to real ones. You need to place a load weighing approximately 200 kilograms in the cabin, a spare tire in the trunk, and completely fill the tank with fuel.

After this, the car is installed five meters from a flat wall. The tester measures the distance from the ground to the center of the fog, and draws a horizontal line on the wall five centimeters lower. If the headlights have been adjusted correctly, the light spot will be approximately at the level of this line. You can also test and debug each of the headlights separately (to do this, you need to repeat the procedure, closing each of the headlights in turn).

Many car enthusiasts who bought a car called VAZ 2170-2172 find out very late that not all trim levels are equipped with fog lights (FTL), and then they wonder how to install them themselves. This is what this article will be devoted to. So, brief instructions for installing fog lights on a VAZ Priora.

Step one

You need to purchase a ready-made installation kit from a car store to install headlights on your car. Be careful, it must include: a wiring harness of the required length, a switch button, a relay and wires for connecting it, connectors, clamps and fuses. PTFs are usually sold together with an installation manual; the installation kit also includes a connection diagram.

Step two

Don't forget, this is very important!

To prevent a dangerous short circuit from occurring during installation of the headlights, it is necessary to disconnect the ground wire from the battery before starting work.

Step three

Carefully study the diagram for installing fog lights on a Lada Priora car. It will be given below.

Step four

Prepare all the tools. You will need:

two types of screwdrivers: Phillips and flat;
two keys. One for eight, the other for ten;
knife (you will need it to cut out the standard plugs in the bumper and to strip the cable).

The installation process itself can be divided into three stages.

First stage: installing headlights in the bumper

For installation of fog lights in Lada Priora there are standard places located in the bumper and closed with plugs. First you need:

remove the protection from the engine crankcase;
Remove the standard headlight covers.

Install new headlights in place of the standard plugs. In this case, there is no single instruction. After installation, you need to secure them with self-tapping screws. Then connect the electrical connector to the lamp.

Then lay the wiring harness along the cable under the hood, and the harness must be secured with a clamp. This must be done so that on the right side the tourniquet is long, and on the left, on the contrary, short. After this, you need to connect the negative wires directly to the car body.

Next, we install the crankcase protection back and fasten the bumper itself in place.

Second stage: installation and connection of the PTF switch

We fix the headlight switch on the front panel of the car. This is done like this:

open the decorative panel under the steering column. To do this, you need to turn three locks ninety degrees;
remove the plug, which is located slightly to the left of the clock.
you should see wires in the opened hole. The switch is connected to them. We connect short wires to wires with the same contacts. We do the same with the contacts of the glass heating button.

Third stage: connecting headlights

After you have completed all the above operations, you will need to connect the new headlights to the mounting block. This process comes down to simply installing several parts into the mounting block.

We install the K10 relay and two fuses.
Once these parts are installed, simply place the mounting block in place. If you did everything correctly, then after installing the battery mass you should have new headlights.

Do not forget to carefully check the quality of the insulation of connections, since most fires occur due to electrical wiring faults that are not corrected in time.

Stage four: adjusting the fog lights

The performance check and adjustment of the PTF must be carried out immediately after installing the PTF. The adjustment can be made either independently or at a service station.

PTF adjustment is carried out on a fully equipped vehicle. The gas tank must be full, a spare tire and a tool kit must be present.

The work is shown on the left headlight; on the right headlight we perform the operations in the same way.

Attention! The fog lamp is halogen. You should not touch its glass bulb with your fingers, as traces from them will lead to darkening of the lamp when heated. You can remove dirt from the flask with a clean rag soaked in alcohol.

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 it requires certain knowledge and adherence to a sequence of actions.

I will not delve into the details of what fog lights (FTL) are and what use they are, anyone interested can read about it on the Internet, fortunately there are many detailed, understandable explanations. I will only say that not all trim levels had fog lights installed, so we will fix this problem ourselves. Therefore, without unnecessary preambles, I propose to proceed directly to the process.

So, to install PTF on Priora you must have:

Set of fog lights;
Wires, corrugation, pads, adapters, relays and buttons;
Heat shrink, 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 :-).

Let's start with the fact that we need to de-energize everything, to do this we remove the “-” terminal of the battery.
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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

Do-it-yourself PTF Priora installation

Do you want to install fog lights on a Priora instead of the standard front optics? Today, this can be done by every car enthusiast who has experience in servicing electrical systems. If the installation is carried out with your own hands, then the only cost can be attributed to the purchase of a PTF kit. After reading this material, the car enthusiast will learn how to dismantle old headlights and connect new fog optics. High-quality photographic materials and a diagram will help with this.

The maximum configuration of the Lada Priora comes with fog lights, so you don’t have to buy optics for other models. Buy a PTF kit in advance, which will cost about 2 thousand rubles. Also examine the dashboard for a button to turn on the fog lights. If it is not there, then you will need to purchase a kit with wires, a button and a relay. The kit also includes a diagram for installing fog lights.

Fog lights allow you to move safely in poor visibility conditions. In fog and rain, the flow of light is distributed along the entire road, which also helps other road users. The “base” does not have fog lights. The scheme is quite simple if you have already installed additional equipment on the Lada Priora.
