How to connect, check and adjust fog lights on a VAZ 2110

Preparing for installation

Before you go to a car store, you should find out what exactly you need to purchase, taking into account the characteristics of your car.

And for this we visually define:

• What type of dashboard is installed in the cabin;
• Are there any seats (stampings) in the front bumper for installing PTF?

Note! Ready-made foglight kits have a lot of differences in the mounting method. In particular, the button for turning on the fog lights of the VAZ 2110 for cars with an old dashboard has a different shape than with a Euro-dashboard.

The kit for connecting fog lights of the VAZ 2110 has a double button for the Euro panel

Legal requirements

In auto parts stores you will find a huge selection of fog lights of different shapes and sizes.

But everything depends on the existing GOST 8769-75, according to the requirements of which:

• Fog lights are only allowed to be installed in pairs;
• Each headlight must be at least 400 mm away from the plane of the side marker (measured along the outer edge of the lens);
• The distance from the road to the lower edge of the lens should not be less than 250 mm;
• PTFs should not be installed higher than the head light.

Despite the “menacing appearance”, the connection diagram for fog lights on the VAZ 2110 has been followed

Note! It is allowed to install PTF on the roof of only those cars that are used on rally tracks or in Off-Road competitions.

Wiring diagram for fog lights.

According to the factory connection diagram, the fog lights turn on after the headlights are turned on. In this case, you can leave the headlights on with the engine off, which will drain the battery. To prevent this situation, it is better to connect the relay control wire to the terminal from the ignition switch (red in the diagram). But if you want to leave the switch on together with the dimensions, then pin 30 of the relay is best connected to a wire receiving power through the ignition switch. It should be taken into account that the load on the ignition switch will increase.

Ready-made PTF kits

Today you can find 2 types of foglights on sale, in which the light spot is formed:

• Due to scratches on the glass (classic headlight with reflector);
• Due to the lens (so-called lensed).

Complete set of lensed headlights - wiring, relay and PTF with adjustment system and plugs

Tip: Making stickers for your headlights will protect your lenses from damage.

Which of them to choose depends not only on your desire, but also on the configuration of the set.

In particular, to install PTF you will need:

• Full compliance of the kit with your car model (in this case, VAZ 2110);
• The adjustment system is easy to use (meaning, without removing the bumper or partially disassembling the headlight itself);
• Visual instructions on how to connect fog lights on a VAZ 2110.

Each “correct” kit contains a wiring diagram for VAZ 2110 fog lights

Note! Only fog lights specially designed for the VAZ 2110 can be installed on a car without any body work. Manufacturers whose products are as easy to install as possible include the German Bosch and the domestic Avtosvet Plant, the price of whose products is significantly cheaper.

The famous “Kirzhachi” are produced at the Avtosvet Plant.
So, we found out that cars of the 2110 family may differ in the way they install PTF due to the technical features of the instrument panel and front bumper.

Everything else (installation of headlights and their integration into the electrical circuit) will not create problems, because:

• The automaker has prepared the vehicle as much as possible for the installation of PTF;
• Independent work will take only 1.5-2 hours of pure time.

Self-installation

Electrical connection

Having purchased a ready-made PTF kit, you can begin to integrate it into the standard VAZ electrical wiring system:

• Disconnect the battery (remove “+”);
• Open the fuse box and use a screwdriver to unscrew 1 screw and remove the block into the passenger compartment;

The VAZ 2110 fog light switching circuit is protected by fuses

• We unfold the block and find the terminals of two fuses F4 and F14. The first is responsible for protecting the right headlight, the second – the left;
• The block also contains fuse F20, which is responsible for the operation of the rear PTFs;

Note! The connection diagram for the rear fog lights of the VAZ 2110 is initially present on all models, and consists of two-filament lamps in the side light unit.

• We insert the copper wire connectors from the kit according to the attached diagram;
• Separately, we bring out the wire for the button into the instrument panel and install it;
• We lay the wires through the partition into the engine compartment;
• Putting the fuse block back together.

Bumper installation

• Remove the plastic plug and insert the wiring with the connector into the hole;
• We connect it to the base and install the fog lamp for the VAZ 2110 in the bumper;
• Take a Phillips screwdriver and screw the headlight with 2 self-tapping screws;
• We pre-adjust its position;
• We secure the wiring in the engine compartment, leaving some slack for replacement (for example, a burnt-out lamp);
• We connect the battery and check the quality of the work performed.

The photo shows the process of fixing the PTF in the front bumper.
All that remains is to adjust the correct direction of the light flux. You will find information about this procedure in other articles on our website dedicated to AvtoVAZ models.

PTF service

At the same time, many owners of the first ten cars do not know where the fog lamp fuse is located. And if it malfunctions, they don’t know how to replace it.

To get to the PTF fuse, you need to remove the mounting block from the instrument panel niche with your own hands

On models after 2000. fuses are grouped in a single block.

Their technical parameters are as follows:

• The rear PTF fuse is marked F20 and is designed for a current of 7.5A;
• Fuse F4 at 10A is responsible for protecting the front right fog lamp;
• Fuse F 14 at 10A is responsible for protecting the front left fog lamp.

Side of VAZ fuses of the tenth family

The algorithm for the operation of fog lights has also been changed.

In particular :

1. The headlights are turned on by pressing a button that supplies power to a relay type 113.3747 installed in the mounting block;
2. Turning on the PTF on VAZ 2110 cars is only possible if the headlight switch is set to the exterior lighting position.

In other words, PTFs are activated only with side lights or low beam headlights. At the same time, the activation is indicated to the driver using a light indicator on the button and on the instrument panel.

There are no particular problems with replacing lamps in the headlights, since they were installed in an open position for service. But with the rear lamps we had to struggle a little, since the entire structure of the headlight unit was located in the trunk lid.

To replace a burnt-out lamp, you must remove the entire unit

Features of the VAZ 2110

The VAZ 2110 car is not very different from its younger brothers of the following modifications, but there are still some differences:

1. This model does not have front fog lights. Moreover, the car bumper may not even have seats for PTF.
2. For some reason, the car has rear fog lights, which seems strange: there are rear ones, but no front ones.
3. The VAZ 2110 can be equipped with different types of panels: standard (also called old) and europanel. In the first case, there is no space for installing the PTF power button, but there are several slots for installing additional switches. In the case of the Europanel, the PTF button can be installed in a place previously provided for this, and the fuse panel has sockets for connecting fog lights.

Before you go to the store to buy an anti-fog kit (more about it below), carefully examine your car and find out what panel is installed in it, whether there are seats for fog lamps, what shape they are, etc. Otherwise, you may buy the wrong kit or the wrong fog lights.

Requirements for installing PTF

How legal is it to independently install fog lights and will it not cause problems when meeting with traffic police officers? Let's consider excerpts from the standards by which PTF is established by the manufacturer (GOST 8769–75 and GOST 41.48–2004):

1. Number of lanterns – 2 pcs.
2. Installation height – not lower than 25 cm from the road surface, but lower than the low beam lights.
3. Installation in width - no further than 40 cm from the side lights.
4. The vertical coverage angle is 5-10 degrees.
5. The lighting angle of the road surface (horizontal) is 45-55 degrees.
6. PTFs are turned on only together with the side lights.

If PTFs are installed according to these rules, then no problems will arise with police officers.

Legal requirements

Russian GOST

Currently, GOST 8769-75 regulates the installation and operation of external lighting devices on vehicles operated on public roads.

The photo shows the GOST section on the requirements for installing PTF

According to section 2.3 of the specified GOST, PTF can:

1. installed on a passenger car only in pairs;
2. located no higher than the headlights, but no lower than 25 cm from the road surface;
3. do not protrude beyond the dimensions of the car, and at the same time, be located no further than 40 cm from the dimensions of the front fenders;
4. shine the same light for each headlight.

UNECE

Since foreign-made vehicles are used in Russia and the CIS countries, the lighting devices installed on them are subject to UNECE requirements. Accordingly, the products of foreign manufacturers, in particular PTF kits for installation on the VAZ 2110, must meet the specified requirements.

According to UNECE requirements, the shape of the PTF light spot must have a clear vertical boundary (Figure B)

These rules also regulate the shape of the light spot for:

1. low beam headlights with a regular or halogen lamp (in Figure A);
2. low beam headlights with a gas-discharge light source (B in the figure).

Types of instrument panels and location of fog lamp buttons

As I noted above, depending on the modification, VAZ 2110 cars are equipped with two types of panels: the so-called old panel and the European panel. If you have a Europanel installed, then the place to install the button for turning on the fog lights is located to the left of the steering wheel, and this button is located in close proximity to the button for turning on the side lights.

On some modifications of the Europanel, the buttons for sidelights and fog lights may be located one above the other:

On a regular, old panel there is no special place for installing a PTF switch, but there are places for installing additional buttons for any purpose, including for connecting PTF. They are closed with plugs and are located on the switch panel between the driver and passenger.

On cars with an older panel, the space for additional buttons is located to the right of the driver

The indicated installation locations for the fog light switch on a VAZ are recommended, but not required. You can install the PTF button in any place convenient for you.

Correct installation and connection of fog lights VAZ 2110 and its modifications

Not all models of the tenth row of VAZ are equipped with factory fog lights. If the driver independently tunes additional lighting, he has three options for solving this problem:

The “tens” model range is equipped with PTFs with corrugated (provide a narrowly directed light flux) or transparent (gives spots of light) glass.

The requirements of the Road Traffic Regulations do not contain a mandatory condition for installing PTF on cars, so domestic manufacturers do not always install fog lights on the assembly line. But there are GOST 8769–75 and GOST 41.48–2004, which regulate the number, location and order of switching on all lighting devices, including fog lights.

Requirements for installation of PTF

Fog lights are installed according to certain rules:

The fog lights turn on only at the same time as the side lights.

Modern brands of vehicles, as a rule, are equipped with PTFs, which are installed by the manufacturers themselves. For this purpose, special sockets are provided on the front bumper. If the fog lights are not installed there, the holes are closed with plugs that can be easily removed.

Selection of fog lights for the VAZ 2110

The range of PTFs for the VAZ 2110 today is quite wide: large and small, round and square, yellow and white. Which ones to choose? Everything here will depend on your taste and financial capabilities, but I still dare to give some advice.

1. Yellow light is less absorbed by water (and fog and rain are water). This means that yellow PTFs will produce a higher quality light spot than white ones of the same power, and at the same time they will not dazzle oncoming drivers.
2. The shape of the headlights does not matter, the main thing is that they should fit the seats of your bumper as best as possible.
3. You should not buy very expensive headlights from famous brands. Most often, such companies charge a lot of money just for the fact that they are famous (the so-called surcharge for the brand).
4. Before purchasing, take the headlight in your hands and carefully examine the quality of the body and glass. Even by its weight and appearance, you can feel whether it is a worthwhile thing or junk that will fall apart after 100 km of run.

Below I will give some common and affordable PTF models for the VAZ 2110 that really deserve attention.

Which fog lights for the VAZ 2110 are better to choose and why

Let's start with the fact that there is more than one version of the PTF VAZ 2110 on the market. At the same time, there are both good quality solutions and analogues that are worse. Moreover, sellers offer foglights of different shapes, with different housings, lamps, etc.

First of all, when choosing, you should pay attention to the diffuser, as it can be glass or plastic. You need to remember that the fog lights are low, water gets on them, stones often hit the headlight, etc.

Of course, plastic under such conditions quickly becomes cloudy and cracks. As for the shape of the body, it is better to purchase standard PTFs for the VAZ-2110 bumper. Such fog lights can be installed in their standard place without any problems and will not require any modifications. In this case we are talking about rectangular fog lights with a standard mount.

Taking into account the fact that such PTFs are produced by a large number of manufacturers, it should be noted that headlights can be of different quality of optics, they have different lamps. As for the most popular solutions with halogen lamps for the VAZ 2110, we can highlight the domestic PTF OSVAR and Avtosvet (Kirzhach), as well as Bosch.

• Kirzhach fogs can be presented in two versions: for a lamp with an H3 base, as well as an H1 one. In practice, the version for the H1 lamp allows you to get a more concentrated and dense light flux. The disadvantage is that PTFs come without a lamp, which must be purchased separately.
• OSVAR headlights are of slightly worse quality than Kirzhach; they have a non-removable lampshade, which is glued in with sealant. Replacing such a lampshade is more difficult. However, the optics are 25-30% cheaper than the product from Avtosvet, and are supplied immediately with the lamp. In general, the headlights shine well, slightly inferior to the analogue discussed above.
• PTF Bosch produces a plant in Ryazan, the optics are designed for installation of an H3 lamp. This option is the cheapest, supplied without lamps and the light is quite mediocre and is suitable for rare use in conditions of poor visibility.

Let us also add that in some cases the quality of light can be improved by replacing PTF lamps with other types of lamps (for example, from H3 to H1). This will require modifications, but you still shouldn’t count on drastic changes.

Also, in addition to halogen lamps, you can equip the PTF with a xenon lamp and even a lens. So, high-quality ready-made solutions are quite expensive, and cheap ones are not reliable and have a long service life. If you convert halogen fog lights to xenon, modifications are also needed.

It turns out that in all cases (both for installing xenon in the PTF, and for installing initially xenon fog lights), a whole series of installation work will be required.

Moreover, you need to understand that although the luminous flux of a xenon lamp is more powerful (which is a plus for head optics), excess power is not needed for PTF

It is important that the fog does not cause light to be reflected from moisture particles. It is for this reason that such headlights must be installed and adjusted with extreme precision, and the maximum color temperature of the lamps should not be higher than 3000-4500 K

It is for this reason that such headlights must be installed and adjusted with extreme precision, and the maximum color temperature of the lamps should not be higher than 3000-4500 K.

Ignoring these rules will lead to the fact that the xenon PTF of the VAZ 2110 or the non-standard fog lights of any other car will only dazzle oncoming traffic. You also need to be prepared for the fact that such optics will impair visibility instead of illuminating the road.

The reason is that even expensive, high-quality LED fog lights have reduced efficiency compared to halogen or properly selected xenon. The fact is that the light source (LED) usually creates light with a temperature, on average, not lower than 6000 K.

This is quite enough for a headlight, but such a glow is not suitable for PTF. At the same time, attempts to lower the temperature lead to the fact that the diode is simply not able to properly illuminate the road in rain or fog.

Of course, expensive solutions (for example, Osram LEDriving FOG 101) with LEDs and a temperature of about 3000 K are an excellent solution for PTF, but the price remains extremely high. As for cheap Chinese analogues or attempts to independently install diodes in a fog lamp in makeshift conditions, in this case the results are often unsatisfactory.

In fact, it is better to immediately purchase high-quality VAZ fog lights (for example, Kirzhach) and implement the correct installation, as well as connecting the PTF. This approach will allow you to get a predictable good result at an affordable price.

Installation process

Before installing fog lights on a VAZ 2110, you should carefully consider purchasing them.

But don’t rush to the store, but first figure out what kind of front bumper your car is equipped with. If the bumper has seats for PTF (they are usually closed with plugs), then everything is in order. Measure your seats and go to the store.

If the installation of fog lights on your bumper is not provided, then you will either have to buy a new bumper or do it yourself. Here everything will depend on your desires and capabilities, since there are always PTFs on sale with decorative overlays that can be installed on almost any bumper.

In some modifications of bumpers there are no holes for fog lights, but the places for their installation are stamped. In this case, first select the headlights that will fit your bumper, and only then cut the mounting holes for them.

This can be done using a conventional drill by drilling a series of holes around the perimeter of the future seats.

After the hole is cut or the plugs are removed, install the PTFs in their places, following the instructions and using the fasteners included with the headlights. Typically, headlights are attached through a decorative trim using two screws.

Connection to electrical circuit

So, the VAZ fog lights are installed in their regular places, all that remains is to connect them to the VAZ hog network. According to the current rules (see above), PTF can only be turned on together with the side lights. If you turn on the PTF, but forget to turn on the “dimensions”, then this will already be a violation.

The fact is that the fog lights are installed quite close to each other, and in the dark the oncoming driver will not be able to correctly assess the width of your car. That is why the side lights must be on when the PTF is operating.

To prevent this from happening, the connection diagram for fog lights in a VAZ is assembled in such a way that they cannot be turned on with the lights turned off. Despite its apparent complexity, the circuit is quite simple, and anyone with basic knowledge of electrical engineering can understand it.

Typical electrical connection diagram for PTF VAZ 2110

When the headlights are turned on, voltage from them is supplied to the fog light switch, allowing it to start working. When you press it, voltage is supplied to the electromagnetic relay, which connects the VAZ fog lights to the +12 V bus. The second wire supplying the headlights is connected to the car body, which, as you know, is the negative wire for all VAZ electrical equipment.

At the same time, the supply voltage is supplied to the indicator lamp, indicating that the PTFs are turned on. So that in the dark the fog light switch can be easily found on the panel, it is illuminated by a miniature pilot lamp. It can be connected in parallel to any panel backlight lamp.

If you are not very experienced in electrical engineering, then you may have a question: why a relay if voltage can be supplied to the headlights directly from the switch? The fact is that fog lights consume quite a lot of current, which neither the PTF switch nor the headlight switch wiring simply can withstand.

In the best case, when turning on the PTF without a relay, the fuse for the dimensions will burn out, in the worst case, the wiring of the dimensions and the equipment that powers them will burn out.

Theoretically, the scheme is clear, but how to implement it in practice? As I said above, there are several modifications of the VAZ 2110, 2111, 2112 that are not equipped with fog lights. Some have old-type panels, others have so-called Europanels. Let's consider the installation procedure for both cases.

Connecting PTF in a car with an old panel

Based on the above diagram, in order to organize fog lighting on this VAZ model, in addition to the fog lights, you will have to buy an installation kit consisting of the following elements:

• PTF power button;
• PTF turn-on relay;
• set of installation wires;
• fuse(s);
• accessories (ties, terminals, brackets, adapters, etc.);
• connection instructions.

Kit for connecting fog lights for VAZ 2110 with an old panel

When buying a kit, choose the one that is designed specifically for the standard VAZ 2110 panel. The standard and Euro panels differ in the shape and size of the PTF button seats.

If the kit is in hand and the illuminators are installed, all that remains is to assemble a circuit that will look like this:

PTF connection diagram for the old panel (pin 86 is connected to the car body)

The only problem that will have to be solved is to find a place for the relay, since the car’s design does not imply a standard mounting. You can place it anywhere: even under the panel, even in the engine compartment away from the heating parts of the engine.

If the kit does not come with a coil of wire, but with ready-made wires with connectors, then when installing the relay, be guided by the length of these wires.

Option for relay location for fog lights in the engine compartment

All that remains is to lay the wires and, if necessary, press the knife pads that come with the kit onto them (ordinary pliers will do), and then assemble the circuit. When laying wires, try to run them close to the standard harnesses - this is the safest place for them. They will not fray or fall on the hot parts of the engine. At the same time, take the length of the wires with a small margin and often grab them to the body or the standard wiring harness with the clamps included in the kit.

Be sure to install the fuse included in the kit! In the event of an accident in the wiring of the fog lights, it will save the car from fire.

Connecting PTF in a car with a Europanel

If your car has a Europanel installed, then the connection diagram for the fog lights changes somewhat, since the manufacturer has provided for their installation. In addition, the kit for connecting fog lights for VAZ, as I noted above, should have a button of a slightly different shape than for cars with a regular panel.

Kit for connecting fog lights for VAZ 2110 with Europanel (the difference is in the shape of a button)

After the wires from the lights are brought into the cabin, open the wiring box, which is located on the left under the steering wheel:

The VAZ 2110 mounting box with Europanel is secured with two self-tapping screws

Find the locations of fuses F4 and F14. If they already have 10 A fuses, then everything is in order. If not, then install the ones included with the kit. They will be responsible for the safe operation of the right and left headlights, respectively.

Marking of fuses VAZ 2110 with Europanel

All that remains is to assemble the circuit by connecting the relays, illuminators and button according to the diagram above and connect it all to blocks Ш1 and Ш3.

PTF connection diagram for VAZ 2110 europanel

Where can I find these pads? They are located on the side opposite the fuses in the same mounting block, and they are numbered as follows:

Numbering of mounting pads for VAZ 2110 with Europanel

After installing and connecting the fog lights, do not forget to adjust them correctly and make sure that they shine in the right direction. Otherwise, they will not so much help in bad weather as hinder you and oncoming drivers.

So we figured out how to install non-standard fog lights on a VAZ 2110 with our own hands. It turns out that this is not difficult to do yourself, and installing them is completely legal and even desirable. After all, good lighting on the road is additional safety for all road users.

Electrical diagram VAZ - 2110

The electrical circuit of the VAZ-2110 is single-wire, that is, only one wire passes from the power source to the consumer, through which the plus is supplied.
The downside to this combination is the weight of the car. Most circuits are energized when the ignition is turned on. This is done to reduce the load on the battery when the engine is not running and prevent its discharge. Under constant power, regardless of whether the ignition is turned on, there are circuits for the sound signal, brake light, courtesy light and others whose operation must be independent of engine operation. The electrical circuit of the VAZ-2110 is identical to the electrical circuit of the VAZ-2111 (2112; 2114).

The circuit consists of four bundles, which are divided depending on their location. In particular, in the engine compartment there are two harnesses, one of which runs along the left wing, and the second connects the ignition system in carburetor cars or sensors and actuators with the controller, with the injection engine. There are also two harnesses in the cabin, one of which connects to the consumers on the left side, instruments, controls, and so on, and the harness that supplies the interior lighting and consumers located in the rear of the car. The harnesses are connected to each other through a mounting block, which acts as a switching device, and a plug connector located under the panel.

Why is this necessary?

Modern fog lights provide significantly more “penetrating” light through fog and rain and better illuminate the road surface. Firstly, PTFs produce a flatter luminous flux, spreading above the ground and spreading more in width than in height.

This was not done in vain. The fact is that due to the discrepancy in the temperature of the air and the ground (the ground is warmer), the fog rarely reaches the road itself, which means that with such headlights on the VAZ 2110 you will see the road you are driving on at least ten meters further ahead low beam headlights.

Secondly, due to the beam width of the fog lights, you will see the roadside and markings. This will prevent you from “flying off” the road, which is not uncommon in fog.

Thirdly, you will not blind oncoming cars, but you yourself will be visible to other road users, if, of course, the adjustment is made correctly. This means that the probability that another car will not crash into your VAZ 2110 increases.

Why are fog lights needed?

Fog is a ground-based, swirling cloud made up of tiny droplets of water suspended in the atmosphere. When there is continuous “milk”, illumination of the road surface with headlights leads to the fact that scattered beams of light are partially reflected from the droplets and blind drivers. Light cannot penetrate long distances through fog, so visibility is sharply reduced.

The main purpose of fog lights (FFL) is to form the correct direction of the light flux. It can be represented as a parallelepiped - wide horizontally and narrow vertically. This luminous flux spreads along the surface of the roadway, under the fog. Additional PTFs are designed specifically to create low bright lighting above the roadway under adverse weather conditions.

Fog lights produce a bright stream of light that is directed low above the road surface

In case of heavy fog, properly installed additional lighting will provide visibility of the side road marking line of no more than 10 meters. But this is quite enough to maintain safety, since in poor visibility conditions cars drive at extremely low speeds.

When there is fog or heavy precipitation, the driver sees in front of him a “wall” of reflected rays, through which the road surface and the side of the road are difficult to discern. It has long been noted that fog hangs over the ground with a gap of up to half a meter, so lights mounted below and shining under a smoky veil illuminate the road much better than the main headlights.

Heavy rain and heavy snow fall like a wall right to the ground, so for better illumination of the road in bad weather conditions, a concentrated flow of light at a low altitude (up to 50 centimeters) of yellow or white light is important. This emission spectrum has the maximum flux energy intensity in comparison with the illumination density of green, blue or violet rays.

VAZ 2110 cars with fog lights not only look more attractive, but also contribute to accident-free driving in difficult road conditions

Color meaning

Some people, in the old fashioned way, believe that it is better when the fog glass is yellow. But this is not true. Most leading manufacturers today produce transparent white fog lights, and they are not only as good as yellow ones, but often superior to them.

On the VAZ 2110 you can install corrugated or transparent glass. The latter are for some reason more fashionable, although less useful, since they shine in spots, while the corrugated ones give a more directed beam, which really increases visibility in bad weather.

Buying what you need

You can, in principle, buy a ready-made set along with wires, but many believe that if you buy everything separately, the number of installation options increases, and it will all cost less. So, we buy:

• Set of headlights (2 pieces);
• Plastic pads;
• Headlight frames;
• A key and a yellow indicator for it;
• Relay;
• Wires. It is better to purchase ones from an electrical equipment store, so that there are two copper conductors with double insulation (ShVVP-2 is suitable). A cross section of 0.5 mm will also be normal, but if you want to install lamps of higher power, take 0.75 mm;
• Terminal for installation to ground;
• Wide as well as narrow terminals, called mother/father. When purchasing them, it is advisable not to take them complete with wires. Installation will be more convenient if these terminals are crimped with pliers already on the connections of the installed wires.

Kit for connecting fog lights on VAZ 2110

Note: if your VAZ has an old-style dashboard, then it is better to buy a PTF 2110 kit, but for a new, so-called EURO, it is more convenient to connect PTF 2115.

You can, of course, vary it, but we are talking specifically about the convenience of the location of the buttons. Regarding the power of the lamps, 55 W is enough, no more is needed. Also keep in mind that very cheap fog lights will not last long.

VAZ 2110 do-it-yourself installation of fog lights

How to install and connect fog lights with your own hands
Car tuning is a fashionable concept and every car enthusiast wants to transform his car in any way. Domestic cars are no exception. If you decide to carry out external tuning of the VAZ 2110, then, for starters, installing fog lights for your VAZ 2110 car will be an excellent solution.

Fog lights are a useful thing, but domestic manufacturers rarely equip cars with them. In different companies, the cost of installing fog lights varies and ranges from 1.5 thousand rubles. up to 4 thousand rubles If you want to save money, you can install the fog lights yourself.

Installing fog lights on a VAZ 2110 car is not difficult, and in this article we will look at how you can do it yourself. The location for the fog lights will be under the bumper.

For type 10 models, there are two types of fog lights: corrugated, which scatter light, and transparent, which shine in spots and are considered more fashionable, although worse to use. To install headlights, purchase additional frames for headlights, a key, a key indicator (yellow), wires, relays, a ground terminal, a wide and narrow male terminal, a wide and narrow female terminal, and plastic blocks.

In connector Ш1 we find yellow and yellow and black wires. In the bundle from connector Ш1 we take 3 wires: yellow, yellow-black and thin yellow-black. Under the hood, disconnect the wires from the washer barrel and the liquid level sensor. Unscrew the nut that secures the washer barrel. We pull out the bundle of wires from under the left side member. We cut off 2 pieces of wire from the yellow wire and stretch them into the car interior. We strip the wires, crimp them with wide male terminals and insert them into the block so that the yellow-black wire joins the marked wire. We connect the block. We press the 2 yellow wires to the harness and put the washer barrels in place.

We cut off 2 pieces of wire 50 cm each, crimp the terminals to the ground of each wire and fasten it all on a stud together with the ground from the headlight. We stretch the fog lamp wire in the front side member. We pull both wires out at the place where the fog lights are mounted. A wide ground must be crimped onto each wire. We put brackets on the bumper, we put a block for the wide mother on the wires. Now you can prepare the headlights themselves. We insert light bulbs into them, but do not touch the light bulbs with your fingers, otherwise they will immediately burst when heated. Therefore, if you have already touched the light bulb, you need to degrease it. We connect the yellow wire to the light bulb, and the black wire to the body. We install the headlights. The installation of fog lights on the VAZ 2110 has been completed. This procedure takes about 1.5 hours. The installation of fog lights 2107 is radically different from 2110; a completely different connection scheme is used here.
