Which low beam lamps are better to install on the grant?

For normal operation of the lighting and light signaling system of the Lada Granta, use the lamps specified in the vehicle's operating manual. It is worth noting that the updated Lada Granta family uses new headlights with different lamps. The table shows the categories of lamps that are used on the new Grant and the pre-restyling version.

The new H19 and H18 lamps are an evolution of the H4 and H7 lamps. New lamps have already been included in the design of future LADA projects (more details). Lada Granta FL is the first model to use H19 lamps in its headlights.

Instead of new H19 lamps, H4 lamps can be installed in Lada Granta FL headlights. Before installation on the H4 lamp, the antennae should be bent:

Lamps H19 and H4 shine equally, this is confirmed by tests:

Let us remind you that we previously posted instructions for replacing lamps in Granta headlights and flashlights (low and high beam, DRL).

Front optics that generate low beam allow the Lada Granta to provide sufficient illumination of the road section in the dark. Unlike high beams, this mode is characterized by moderate brightness and a “gentle” beam direction without the risk of dazzling oncoming drivers.

Step-by-step instructions for replacing a headlight bulb

1. You will need to remove the plastic cover from behind the headlight unit. To remove it, you need to press on the tongue and carefully pull it out (be careful not to break the guides).

Remove the plastic headlight cover

• We pull off the block with electrical wiring from the lamp terminals. The terminal should come off without any effort.
• Next, you will need to remove the rubber seal (grab the tongue and pull).

  
  Remove the rubber seal To be able to remove the low/high beam bulb from the headlight, press the sides of the retainer made of a spring and remove them from the reflector hooks.

  
  Squeeze the latch on the sides

• Now you can remove the H4 bulb from the Lada Granta headlight and carefully (holding it by the iron part) install the new low beam bulb back into the headlight. We perform a similar operation on the other headlight.

It is worth noting that if only one lamp has burned out, then you need to change both because even if you install a lamp from the same manufacturer, the lamps will differ in the brightness of the light flux.

Headlight adjustment

Adjustment of the lighting optics may be necessary if, while driving or significant shaking in the car, any malfunction occurs that causes a change in the direction of the light beam either in the vertical or horizontal plane. This can occur on both an old and a completely new car, since such a problem depends on external factors, in particular on the road situation in which the vehicle was located, as well as the characteristics of its operation. To adjust the headlights on a Grant, you need to be properly prepared:

1. You need a Phillips screwdriver or a 6mm hexagon.
2. The vehicle must be equipped and ready for use. To do this, fill the tank, increase the tire pressure, place the spare tire in the luggage compartment and sit in the driver's seat.
3. The vehicle must be 3 meters from the wall before adjustment.
4. You need to take several measurements on the wall. This applies to the distances between the headlights and their height above the road surface on which the car is parked. On an artificial wall, you need to mark the edges and centers of optical devices.

The entire process of adjusting the headlights occurs in accordance with the following rules:

1. To remove body vibrations, you need to rock it a little from side to side.
2. It is necessary to select the “one person” position on the headlight leveling control. After this, you should turn on the low beam. It is worth assessing the light output from each optical device, as well as its actual deviation from the center.
3. Having raised the hood, you need to find the electrical correctors. With their help, you can align the output of light beams, making them identical. They must correspond to the points marked on the wall - both vertically and horizontally.

The end of the adjustment can be judged when the beams from the headlights go directly to their projections made on the wall. After this, it is recommended to do a test drive, after which you should check all the work again. If the optical instruments are correctly fixed, their angle of inclination should not change after the machine moves.

Lada Granta Bum Edition › Logbook › Comparative test of low beam lamps

Adults and children know that there is very little light in Grant)) Or rather, low beam. The far one is good enough. The comparison test happened completely by accident. I thought about changing the light bulbs with Osram Night Breaker. A powerful beam, white light - what else is needed for happiness? And for happiness you need quality. Having inserted the light bulb into place, and starting to put the chip on the base, I got oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooof

I used a long screwdriver to unscrew the lamp onto the reflector and then, bending the wire into a hook, hooked the lamp into the hole in the contact, fortunately it was there. 20 minutes of picking.

Well, there is no lamp, we need to buy something again to replace it. In principle, Brekers were not given flattering reviews in terms of durability. They say that even if they don’t last a year, they turn yellow. After some more browsing on the forums, I settled on the Koito WhiteBeam 3 4200k:

Well, actually, the headlights themselves:

1.Philips, seemingly Long Life, were on the assembly line:

2. Osram Night Breaker:

3. Koito WhiteBeam 3: Middle

Summary: Koito's light is somewhat blurry and diffuse. On a dirty winter city road with lamp lighting, nothing is visible. Only the side of the road is illuminated. Without lighting they shine amazingly, but my eye is unfamiliar with the light blueness and some kind of absent-mindedness. You can’t see anything in the rain or fog either. But the funds have been spent, we will conduct a survivability test. Night Breaker has clear boundaries of the light spot, bright white light, slightly yellowish, but almost unnoticeable.

Z.Y. In the manuals for replacing headlight bulbs they write that the plastic casing must be turned clockwise. In fact, you don't need to twist it at all. It is held on by a latch and two plastic guides. Snap off the casing and pull it towards the engine strictly parallel to its axis. And I was spinning. In the cold))

Lamps used in the Lada Granta sedan VAZ-2190

Low beam lamps allow the driver to illuminate the road at night. Unlike the long-range ones, they have low brightness and provide a good view of the road surface directly in front of the vehicle.

A high-quality low beam lamp for the Lada Granta should not react to vibrations while the car is moving. Otherwise, her work will be very difficult.

How to choose good low beam lamps for Granta?

First of all, the driver should focus on the markings of standard products. You need to find a model marked h5 in a car shop or showroom. Its power is 55 W, which is also worth paying special attention to. Since high beam lamps with the same marking have a higher power - 60 W.

You also need to take into account the manufacturer offering car add-ons. When purchasing, it is recommended to check how well the Grant low beam lamp shines. Consultation with specialists who will point out the features of the product will also help.

Signs and causes of headlight malfunction

During operation of the Lada Granta, various malfunctions with optical instruments occur. They have such signs

• lack of light from one or more lamps;
• inconsistency of light flux;
• blinding oncoming drivers.

If the following symptoms become noticeable, pay attention to the reasons for their occurrence:

1. Burnt out light bulb. This can happen due to voltage surges in the system.
2. Blown fuse. It is not possible to restore its operation, so the solution to this problem is to notice the part.
3. The low or high beam has failed. This occurs due to a broken relay. During diagnostics, it becomes clear: the contact jumper, external contacts or electromagnet winding are burnt.
4. Weakening of the luminous flux on one of the headlights. The connection of the negative wire in such a situation is often damaged due to moisture getting on it.
5. The light flux spreads in the wrong direction (sideways, up, down). This occurs due to the fact that the mounting of optical instruments is damaged.
6. The front side light does not light up. This happens either due to a burnt-out light bulb or due to a lack of contact in the socket. In some cases, a wire break is diagnosed.
7. The rear parking light does not light up. The reasons for this malfunction are exactly the same as the previous one.
8. The side lights shine in an unusual way. This happens due to the fact that one of the fuses blows due to power surges.
9. The reversing light does not function. The cause of the problem is a faulty switch in the gearbox. It is also necessary to check the system for burnt out spirals.

Most problems with optical devices can be fixed with your own hands. This is due to the fact that diagnosing the causes of their occurrence is quite simple.

In some cases, it is necessary to contact a service station to conduct a comprehensive inspection of the entire electrical system of the machine. In order to eliminate the problem, you need to identify the cause of its occurrence and replace those parts and spare parts that have failed.
