- Low and high beam lamp - H4, power 12V, 60/55W;
- Bulb dimensions - W5W, power 5W;
- Front turn signal lamp - PY21W;
- Fog lamps - H11, power 12V, 55W.
Low and high beam
One lamp is responsible for low and high beam. Its resource is 2000-4000 hours. To gain access to the left headlight unit, you must remove the battery.
- Turn the lid counterclockwise;
- Remove the cover by releasing the latch.
- Remove the block with wires by unclipping the lock;
- Remove the rubber cover by prying it off by the edge.
- Unscrew the lamp clamp to the side;
- Remove the headlight bulb.
Installing a new lamp in the Largus headlight is carried out in the reverse order. You need to hold the lamp by the base; it is not recommended to touch the bulb with your fingers. If necessary, wipe the flask with a microfiber cloth that does not leave lint. The process of replacing the H4 lamp is also shown in the video:
Replacing light bulbs on Lada Largus - photo, video of replacement
Constant use of the car will one day lead to the need to replace light bulbs on the Lada Largus. This is easy to do at a specialized service station, but you can do all the necessary work yourself. To achieve the desired result, you need to carefully study the instructions. This is due to some nuances that should be taken into account when replacing light bulbs on a Lada Largus. Let’s talk about all these subtleties of work in more detail.
What kind of lamps are in the headlights of Lada Largus?
All lamps that are used for outdoor lighting in Lada Largus can be divided into 3 categories:
You also need to understand what kind of light bulbs are needed to replace in a Lada Largus car:
For low beam, use an H-4 bulb with a power of 12V, 60/55W;
For dimensions, you need to take a W5W lamp with a power of 5W;
For the front turn signal, use a PY21W bulb;
The fog lights have H-11 lamps with a power of 12V, 55W.
Replacing low and high beam bulbs on a Lada Largus
Any replacement of light bulbs must begin with turning off the power. These actions are required for working with electrical equipment of a car. The power is disconnected by turning a special lever or removing the terminals from the battery. This way you will completely eliminate short circuits caused by improper connection of wires. You need to understand that one bulb is used for the low beam of Largus, and the second for the high beam. The average lamp operating life ranges from 2-4 thousand hours. You can gain access to the left light by removing the battery.
- Turn the lid counterclockwise;
Installing the working light bulb in the Largus lantern is carried out in the reverse order. Remember that you should only hold the lamp by the base, and it is advisable not to touch the bulb. As a last resort, you can wipe the light bulb with a lint-free microfiber cloth. You can watch the correct process of replacing a low beam light bulb in the video:
Replacing side light bulbs on Largus
If it is necessary to replace this lamp, the entire lamp must be removed. This is the only way to ensure access to the side lights of Largus. After dismantling, we disconnect all power wires with extreme care and attention. After disconnecting the power from the battery, you need to remove the front bumper, which serves as additional protection for the dimensions. Ideally, work is carried out with sterile gloves. If the device was accidentally touched, it must be treated with a lint-free microfiber cloth.
- We remove the fender liner by removing the fasteners;
- We remove the socket with the light bulb by turning it in the direction of the clock, and for the right side you need to turn it in the opposite direction;
- Remove the burnt out lamp from the base.
To replace the backlight on Largus, turn the socket counterclockwise. Then carefully connect the 2 wires to the battery. And now all that remains is to install the working lamp and carry out the assembly. Installing all components in place is carried out in the reverse order and does not take much time.
PTF lamp (fog lamp)
There is no access to the lamp from the engine compartment, so replacement is made from below.
- Remove the fender liner by removing the screws;
- Disconnect the block from the lamp by pressing the lock;
- Remove the lamp by turning it a third of a turn counterclockwise.
Install the lamp in the reverse order.
Attention! In practice, replacing lamps in a Largus headlight is much easier. In other words, it is not at all necessary to remove the battery and fender liners (lockers). If you get the hang of it, you can access all the headlight bulbs from the engine compartment.

Changing the lamps in the Lada Largus headlight
How to change the low/high beam lamps on Largus, as well as the dimensions
A note about what kind of lighting lamps are installed in the Largus headlights; which of them are low/high beam, and which are responsible for the side lights. How to change lamps yourself. How much do originals and analogues cost in Yaroslavl?
Good day, future and aspiring gentlemen Largusovod!
On Largus, the low/high beam and headlight lamps often burn out. At least for 70 thousand I have already changed it five times on each side.
The following light bulbs were installed on my car:
1. Low/high beam: halogen, Osram H4 12v 60/55w. (art. 64193). Price from 109 rub.
There are many analogues. Here are some of them:
370 rub. General Electric (34454)
117 rub. Valeo (032007)
2. Front dimensions: halogen baseless 12V Osram (art. 2825). Price from 17 rub.
26 rub. Lynx (L12805)
9 rub. Fortluft (2825)
3. Rear dimensions: two-pin with filament, base BAY15D. Beacon 12V P21/5W.
from 56 rub. Fortluft (7528)
They burn out less often. I changed it only once in the right headlight. This is what she looks like:
How to replace headlight bulbs
1. First, remove the protective cover. It turns a little, then a small latch is released.
2. The block with wires is removed.
3. Remove the rubber protective sleeve.
4. The lamp is pressed U -shaped clamp. It needs to be pulled to the side and back.
5. Take out the lamp. Remember its orientation. Two teeth at the bottom, one at the top. And if you look at it from the side of the headlight, the inscription (marking) will be on top.
6. Install a new lamp. You should not take it with your bare hands, as greasy marks from the pores will remain on the bulb and the lamp will fail faster. This applies to all halogen lamps. It is better to hold it by the plinth or use a microfiber cloth.
7. Assembly is carried out in reverse order. First the clamping clamp, then the rubber bushing and finally the top cover.
How to replace front markers
There isn't much action here. The main thing is to get to the cartridge and turn it 90 degrees. On the left headlight it is clockwise, on the right it is counterclockwise. The most inconvenient thing to change is the battery side. Not enough space. If your hand is large, it is better to remove it.
If you can’t feel the cartridge at all, then the operating instructions advise removing the fender liner.
The procedure is as follows:
- Found a cartridge
- They turned it over and took it out
- Removed the lamp
- When installing a new lamp into the socket, it is better to wear gloves
- Then the cartridge was installed back into the headlight and rotated 90 degrees.
How to replace rear lights
Changing lamps is a pleasure. All you need to do is remove the headlight unit. It is secured with two wings from the interior: one at the top under the plastic upholstery, the other at the bottom. We unscrew them, move the headlight to the side and disconnect the block with the wires.
Next you need to remove the protective cover. It is held on by three latches. There are three lamps underneath it. We find the size lamp and change it. The steps are simple: insert into the cartridge and turn.
Block lights
Structurally, each block headlight of the LADA Largus station wagon consists of two sections. One contains:
- "marker" lamp (W5W).
- double-filament lamp for low and high beam (type H4);
Nearby is the section in which the PY21W turn signal lamp is located.
The headlight unit is dismantled when it is damaged or needs to be modified (tuning).
Replacing the headlight
Before you begin work related to replacing the headlight, you must:
- Secure the station wagon using the handbrake.
- Remove the key from the ignition.
- Remove the negative wire from the battery terminal.
The dismantling of the headlight block of the LADA Largus station wagon begins by first removing the front bumper. This operation is shown in detail on the video page:

After this, access to the fastening elements in the lower part of the case will open. Next, you need to disconnect the electrical wires:
- going to the H4 type lamp. To do this, remove the cover 3 and disconnect the pads;
- remove the sockets for the direction indicator lamps 5 and indicator lamps 7;
- remove the actuator of the headlight hydraulic corrector (if equipped) from the headlight housing, to do this, slide boot 4 along the cable and unclip the fastening latch.
- after this, you need to unscrew the fastening bolts (items 1, 3 and 4) located around the perimeter of the body part (2);
- push the headlight housing forward a little and remove it.
The new headlight unit is installed in the reverse order, maintaining a uniform gap between housing 2 and body parts.
Adjusting the luminous flux
After carrying out any work related to the head optics of the LALA Largus car, it is mandatory to check and adjust (if necessary) the direction of the luminous flux of the switched on lamps. To do this, it is best to contact a specialized service station, equipped with special instruments and staffed by qualified specialists. However, in case of emergency, such an operation can be carried out independently and without the necessary equipment. In practice, there are several ways to check and adjust headlights. You can see one of them by watching the video:
Replacing lamps in a headlight
Among the sudden malfunctions that almost all car owners encounter, one of the first places is the failure of head optics light sources. These include lamps:

- direction indicator;
- Dimensions indicator.
All of them are located inside a separate headlight and changing them, if necessary, is not difficult.
Replacing the low/high beam lamp
Change the low/high beam lamp in the LADA Largus headlight in the following order:
- remove the protective cover;
- disconnect the block with wires;
- pull out the rubber seal;
- pressing on the spring holder, remove it from under the latch;
- Carefully releasing the holder, carefully remove the burnt out lamp.
The new lamp is inserted into the reflector hole and secured using standard fasteners. Then all the removed parts are returned to their places.
Attention! Lada Largus uses halogen light sources, the glass surface of which is not recommended to be touched. To avoid darkening of the flask when heated, it is recommended to hold them by the base.

About related faults
A lighting device for any purpose that refuses to perform its function can signal to the owner of the Lada Largus that the fuse is faulty. If it is discovered that the jumper in the fuse link has burned out, then such an element requires unconditional replacement, which also means replacing the marker light bulb. This is quite easy to do. The mounting block is located on the left edge of the interior panel in close proximity to the unit for switching the modes of lighting devices. Here are the inserts numbered F1 - F39. Fuses numbered 9 and 10 are responsible for ensuring the operation of the low and high beam, respectively for the left and right headlights of the Lada Largus car.
Insufficient contact at the terminals in the fuse block can also cause problems with the normal functioning of the head optic components.
Important! When installing the lamp, do not allow your fingers to touch the glass bulb, since marks can significantly reduce the effectiveness of the product and lead to its premature failure.
There may be cases of premature burnout of the contact inside the lamp itself or banal oxidation of contacts with the ground. The last option can be easily eliminated. To do this, it is necessary to thoroughly clean the contacting surfaces of the cable lugs. A wire brush will do.
If these methods do not give the desired result and the functionality of the Lada Largus lighting devices is not restored, then you will need to contact professionals for a more thorough diagnosis of the causes of the malfunctions and their subsequent elimination.
Replacing side light bulbs on Lada Largus
From time to time, replacing a Lada Largus lamp becomes one of the mandatory procedures. The reason for this is that it becomes unusable, which in the dark is not only uncomfortable, but also life-threatening.
Timely replacement of lighting bulbs is the key to comfort and safety on the road
Of course, the service life of this lighting element directly depends on its quality and varieties. Although the terms of use are also important here. Indeed, with constant shaking while driving, it will often be necessary to replace not only the low beam lamp on the Lada Largus, but also the dimensions, brake lights and high beams.
Replacing the tail light bulb
When replacing a lamp at the rear of a car, there are also some features that must be taken into account when carrying out the work.
- Here, before starting work, you will need to disconnect the negative from the battery.
- Unfold the trunk lining.
- Disconnect the wiring harness from the rear markers.

It is not recommended to touch the lamps with your fingers. The work must be done with clean gloves.
Lighting elements of Lada Largus
It is worth noting that all lamps used in headlight lighting of Lada Largus cars are divided into three types:
The most common type of headlights for low or high beam are LED variations, since these are the most powerful and efficient lamps in terms of energy conservation. In addition, they can be used for brake lights, turn signals or markers.
Standard replacement procedure
- Replacing the low beam lamp, as well as the high beam, begins by disconnecting the on-board power supply. This precedes all electrical repair work. In this case, a special switch is turned or the negative terminal is disconnected from the battery, which avoids accidental short circuits or erroneous connections during installation.
- The place where the Largus lamp will be replaced is determined. There, the rubber plugs covering the electrical components are removed, and two metal antennae are opened in front of the car owner, fixing them in the reflector. They are separated so that the used parts can come out of their seat without damaging the housing.
- Next, you need to disconnect the plugs from the wiring that was previously disconnected. Here it is worth paying attention to the order of arrangement, otherwise, during the installation of new parts, everything can be mixed up and they will have to be changed again.
- After connecting the plug with wiring to the new parts, they are mounted in place and secured with antennae. You should try not to touch the flasks with your hands, as this can lead to their rapid failure.
- If the light is dim during lighting, and the headlights flash when you turn on the headlights, then it is imperative to restore the contacts of the wires with the vehicle body. This is especially true for a marker lamp, because the fat that gets there begins to evaporate when heated and can cause ignition.
- At the end of this procedure, you need to put on the rubber plugs and secure all the parts in their places. After this, the car will be ready for use and the driver does not have to worry about malfunctions of the Lada Largus lighting fixtures.

Lada Largus is a popular family multi-purpose station wagon, mass production of which was launched by AvtoVAZ PJSC in 2012.
A car of this class is designed to meet the most diverse needs of potential buyers and can be used for both everyday and long-distance trips. At the same time, it feels great in urban conditions and on country roads.
The universal use of this car quite often contributes to damage to the elements of the front optics by stones flying from under the wheels of oncoming or passing vehicles, branches of low-growing bushes, etc.
Replacing damaged head optics and installing new elements is not difficult and can be carried out by almost any car owner, even those without experience in carrying out such work. The only difficulty with this is the need to dismantle the front bumper, where not only fog lights are integrated, but also headlights.
Stop signal
The principle of replacement is similar to the installation of the above-mentioned lamps, but it has its own nuances. Here, first, the trunk lid is opened and its decorative panel is removed. So, in order to replace the brake light, you must first of all clear the approach to the wing nuts.
After removing them, the entire headlight is turned out, which would be very problematic to do on your own. After all, you need to bring out its upper and lower parts at the same time so that they do not become a surprise. After unscrewing the screws, access to the lamp is open. The failed part is replaced, and all the previously listed steps are performed in the reverse order.
Dimensions
A special feature of this procedure is the preliminary dismantling of the headlight unit, under which the side light lamps are located. After this, it is necessary to disconnect the wires from the battery, which is done with extreme care.
Removing the front bumper will allow you to get to the cover that protects the dimensions. Since they come into contact with other light devices, it is advisable to carry out all procedures using sterile gloves. If any device has been touched, it must be wiped with a clean, lint-free cloth.
To replace the side light bulb in Largus, the socket of the old part is turned counterclockwise. The black and yellow wires connect it to the battery, so it turns off from them. A new part is installed in this place, and assembly is carried out in the reverse order.

Conclusion
You need to make it a rule to regularly change not only the lamps, but also monitor other lighting elements. After all, the process of reducing their brightness occurs slowly and the driver simply does not notice the deterioration in road lighting.
The side lamps for a Lada Largus car are very dim bulbs, so after they burn out or even without waiting for it, you can replace the side lamps with LED ones! The LED light bulb is very bright and economical! The price is for 1 piece. T-10 lamp socket. Also, this light bulb can be installed in the ceiling lamp, in the glove box, trunk lamp, room lighting, wherever the T10 socket is used.
During operation, observant owners of the universal LADA Largus model noticed frequent failure of low beam lamps in the head optics. This places this unit in the category of short-lived components and therefore requires replacement of the low beam lamp. The manufacturer is aware of the presence of this defect and is making promises to eliminate it as soon as possible. While this is being done, owners need to have knowledge of how to replace the low beam lamp themselves.
How to choose a lighting element?
The standard version of the configuration provides for the use of halogen lamps with an H4 base. This device contains two threads, each of which is responsible for its own light (naturally, near and far). Today's auto accessories market is able to offer its customers several analogue lamp options, structurally based on the following technologies:
Advice! When choosing lamps for your LADA Largus, lean towards the offers of specialized trading entities. The market is full of cheap analogues with Chinese ancestry. They cannot boast of reliability, and the effectiveness of such products is negligible. A useful point here would be to take into account the light characteristics of the lamp.
The most efficient lighting components are diode products. They can be installed not only as low or high beam devices, but also as marker optics or turn signals.
Note that an important advantage of a lamp using diode technology is its high ability to save energy. This factor is directly dependent on the manufacturer and the quality aspects of the product.
Important! During replacement, we remember their location, which will prevent incorrect installation and the need to repeat this manipulation.
Replacing a low beam lamp on a Lada Largus: how much does it cost?
The ability to independently replace light bulbs in your car's lighting fixtures is very useful, as it allows you to save both time and money. Today we will see that replacing a low beam lamp in a Lada Largus is a fairly simple task that anyone can do.
General information about this model
The first LADA Largus car rolled off the AvtoVAZ assembly line and went on sale in 2012. It was a Romanian Dacia Logan MCV, adapted for the Russian market. The car is produced to this day and has four modifications:
- Largus R90 – passenger station wagon for five and seven seats;
- Largus F90 – cargo van;
- Largus Cross is essentially the same five- and seven-seater station wagon, but with increased ground clearance and slightly different exterior and interior trim;
- Largus CNG – production started in 2021. Modification with gas cylinder equipment.
Passenger station wagon (left) and Largus Cross
Note. The first Largus rolled off the assembly line a year earlier - in 2011, but was intended for sea trials.
What lamps are used
Before we figure out how to change a light bulb on Largus, let’s determine what lighting devices are used in the headlights of this car. The Largus headlights have only three lamps:
Low/high beam . Halogen double helix with H4 base. The power of the spirals is 55 and 60 W, respectively.
High and low beam lamp for Largus
Parking lights . Incandescent bulbs with W5W socket. Power 5 W.
Front side light bulb Lada Largus
Turn indicator . Incandescent bulb with an orange cylinder with a PY21W base. Power 21 W.
Front turn signal lamp Lada Largus
Closer to the side there is a turn signal light, in the center there is a device responsible for high and low beam, and underneath it is a side light bulb.
So, we figured out the types of lamps. A bulb with an H4 socket is responsible for the low and high beam. All that remains is to decide which one to choose, because the range of light bulbs with such a base on the modern market is quite wide.
But by what criterion should you choose? Price? Quality of light? Life time? Colorful temperature? All these parameters are important for any light bulb, but, alas, they often exclude each other - cheap cannot be of high quality, and vice versa. This means that we will choose according to the price/quality ratio and our financial capabilities, focusing on the brand.
According to independent experts of the company, the price/quality ratio of the lamps was distributed as follows:
- Bosch;
- Osram;
- Philips;
- Narva;
- "Lighthouse".
Of course, the above rating does not mean that you should only take Bosch. The products of this manufacturer are quite expensive, although they have the highest characteristics.
Domestic Mayak lamps, for example, are inferior to Bosch in many respects, but are much cheaper than the latter.
Thus, the choice will depend not only on the desire to get the best, but also on material capabilities.
Important! In order not to buy a Chinese counterfeit instead of Bosch or Narva, we will only buy light bulbs in specialized stores. And the fact that the same lighting device on the nearest market costs half as much should not rejoice, but be alarming.
What do we need for work?
In order to replace the lamps in the headlights of the Lada Largus, we will need:
- Torx key T-20;
- clean cotton gloves;
- replacement H4 bulbs.
Let's start replacing
If everything is ready, then you can start replacing the low beam bulb. In order to gain access to the Lada Largus headlight, you need to remove the plastic fender liners. Take the Torx key and unscrew the screws securing it.
To remove the fender liner, you need to unscrew several screws
There are two headlights in front of us: below is the fog light (PTF), above it is the head light. Naturally, we need the latter. For clarity, in the photos below, all actions will be performed with the headlight removed. We will work from under the wing.
We find the hatch for the high/low beam lamp. It is closed with a protective plastic cover. Press the latch and remove it.
Under it we see a rubber boot, from the center of which protrudes the light bulb power connector. We remove it from the lamp by simply pulling it out.
Now you can remove the boot itself.
In front of us is a light bulb, pressed with a spring clamp. We press our finger on the upper part of the lamp clamp and remove it from under the hook on the reflector.
After this, simply fold the spring down, freeing the lamp.
Now nothing holds the lamp
We take it by the body and remove it from the reflector. It's time to put on gloves, because you can't handle the bulb of a halogen lamp with bare hands: the remaining particles of sweat on it will cause local overheating of the glass, and it will simply melt. If you don’t have gloves, then hold the new light bulb only by the base, without touching the bulb.
If we accidentally touched the flask with our bare hands or simply got it dirty with something, we wipe it with a napkin soaked in alcohol.
We install the device in place of the burnt one, monitoring the position of the keys on the base. One of the keys looks up, two symmetrical to it look down. We fix the lamp with a bracket, put on the boot, power supply, and protective cover. Now you can check if everything works, and if so, then install the fender liner in place, securing it with screws.
On a note. Some craftsmen do without removing the fender liners, performing all manipulations from the engine compartment. But, firstly, for this you need to have the hands of a pianist, and secondly, when working with the left headlight, you will still have to remove the battery.
In order to climb through all these pipes, you need to have the hands of a pianist and remarkable patience
What to do if the light still doesn’t work
If after replacing the lamp the low beam still does not work, you will have to look for the fault. First of all, we check the fuses responsible for the corresponding headlight. They are located in the mounting block, which is located on the left side of the driver and is closed with a decorative cover.
Location of the mounting block in Lada Largus (decorative cover removed)
The low beam is controlled by fuses F9 and F10 for the left and right headlights, respectively. You can find them based on the following photo:
Numbering of fuses in the interior mounting block of Lada Largus Useful! The numbering and location of the fuses are marked on the inner surface of the decorative cover. There are also spare inserts and tweezers for replacing them.
If the fuses are intact, then you will have to look for the problem in the wiring and connecting blocks. The contacts in the pads may oxidize, the wire may fray or, due to poor contact, burn away from the pads. If we have electrical knowledge, we look for it ourselves.
If not, contact a qualified specialist or even a regular electrician.
So we learned how to change low beam bulbs in a Lada Largus ourselves. Now there is no point in wasting time and money on a trip to the service station - after all, you can do everything yourself in a matter of minutes.
How to replace the lamp?
Replacing a low beam lamp in a LADA Largus is not a complex procedure, which is quite feasible for inexperienced owners. Here you will need a simple set of tools. The right headlight will cause some difficulties, since the battery is located nearby. In general, this point can be easily eliminated. We will tell you how to change the lamp.
The lamp responsible for low beam in the Lada Largus has a rubber protective cover. This element can be easily moved to the side using manual force. This is done simultaneously with the removal of the power supply wire block.
The sequence of actions is as follows:
- We turn off the power to the on-board network by removing the terminals from the battery or turning the switch, which is structurally present in the Lada Largus. This mandatory action implies ensuring electrical safety during the full range of manipulations.
- We remove the rubber pad that covers the electrical component.
- Now carefully move aside the pair of metal antennae that hold the lamp in the socket.
- We disconnect the cable plugs with which the lamp is connected to the on-board network.
- We mount the new lamp in the designated socket and securely fix it.
- We connect the cable block to the electrical network.
- Finally, we return the rubber protective plug to its original place.
- We install all other previously removed components in their original places. Now you know how to change lamps.
Upon completion of the entire list of manipulations, we are sure to check the correct functioning of the entire set of lighting fixtures, including if the bulb dimensions were replaced.
Important! If suddenly, when checking, the lamps began to emit a dim luminous flux, or the side lights switched to flashing mode, then this indicates insufficient contact with the body. The reasons may include both dirt and ordinary oxidation, and it is not always necessary to replace the size bulb.
