DIY brake light bulb replacement for Lada Largus

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:

halogen;
xenon;
LED

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.

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.

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.

As practice shows, in modern domestic cars, one of which is the Lada Largus, lamps with directional luminous flux are most often used. The essence of such lighting is a reliable view in front of and behind the car. At the same time, inconvenience to other traffic participants heading towards the driver or driving behind is excluded.

Tail lamps

To replace the bulbs, you will have to remove the rear light. Then press the three latches (No. 2) and disconnect the board with the lamps from the flashlight.

To remove any of the lamps from the socket, you need to press it a little and turn it counterclockwise. We install the new light bulb in the reverse order.

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.

How to change the brake light bulb on a Ford Focus 3

The Focus 3 attracts its customers with its unique design. Thanks to body aerodynamics, a low drag coefficient is achieved, which greatly affects fuel consumption.

And improved sound insulation of the engine compartment, wheel arches and underbody reduces noise in the cabin at high speeds.

Inside, the Focus 3 can be simple or have all sorts of useful electronic gizmos, depending on the configuration.

For example, replacing brake light bulbs.

Open the trunk. On the inside (right or left depending on which light bulb needs to be changed) opposite the lampshade, remove the protective cover.

Under the cover you will see two nuts in the form of plastic tubes.

Gently unscrew them with your fingers. If they do not give in, take the pliers without squeezing them (in the form of a fork), resting against the blades of this bolt along the axis and tear it off. Next, twist it by hand.

After unscrewing the bolts, pry the lampshade from the outside and pull it away from the wing (the direction is indicated by the mounting bolts). The narrow feather part of the lampshade closer to the door is held on a clamping clip. Be careful not to break this fastener.

When you remove the ceiling lamp, you will see the sockets with turn signal bulbs and a brake light with a parking light.

After changing the required light bulb, reassemble everything in the reverse order.

There is no need to tighten the bolts securing the rear lamp with pliers; there is a possibility of stripping the threads.

Have a nice trip!!!

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.

Replacing a stop largus lamp

The first part is here - www.drive2.ru/cars/lada/l...us/dim-x/journal/3159157/ Bullshit. It turned out to be complete garbage. As the hero of the famous Soviet plasticine cartoon said: “It won’t be enough!”, in this case, light.

Not a single lamp, even a converted one, gave light like an ordinary incandescent lamp. I decided to redo it again. And so we will collective farm.

Well, quite by accident I came across normal diodes for the rear light. In a store on the outskirts of the glorious city of Mineralnye Vody, there was a fairly wide range of diodes and very low prices. I took four pieces - 2 two-pin (parking brake light) and two single-pin ( rear fog light, reversing light).

The process turned out to be simple, but rather inconvenient. The plastic wings were so tight that I could barely unscrew them, I was afraid to break them.

but in the end everything seems to be fine. The flashlight came off easily, the only thing that got in the way, due to the shape of the body, was the rubber corrugation with wires that goes to the rear door.

The board is made of rather tacky plastic and is held in place by three latches, but apparently it requires gentle handling. It can be removed quite easily.

Base lamps, 1 and 2-pin. Can be removed and installed easily. The sad thing is that I haven’t found any for the turn signals (orange LEDs). They burn clearly brighter in daylight than incandescent lamps. I’m very interested in how the diode will behave in reversing lamp.

Photos will be up in the evening.

as promised - photos)))

This is what the whole thing looks like in sunlight:

for comparison, the original lamp:

although the issue with the fog lamp remains unclear. Since the diode gives directional light, the reflector remains out of use, and the whole thing doesn’t shine very well, to put it mildly...

in general, the foglight turned out to be quite sad...

although the reversing light is not much better. Apparently, you need to look for LEDs of a different type, with non-directional light.

The question is also confusing: the difference between the parking light and brake light modes, in my opinion, is quite insignificant. It’s sad...

In short, I thought hard about whether the game was worth the candle.

Rear additional lights for Lada Largus

LADA LargusDaytime running lightsLED running lights

One of the most popular Russian-made family and truck cars is the Lada Largus. This car is an adaptation of the famous Dacia Logan MCV model, which has been produced in Romania since 2006.

The Lada Largus (RF-90) rolled off the assembly line for sale in 2012. Today it can be found in 3 versions: a passenger station wagon with 5 seats, a station wagon with increased capacity (7 seats), and a cargo van.

To improve the illumination of the road surface by optics at the rear of the body, as well as to add effectiveness and improve the overall appearance of the Lada Largus, additional rear lights can be used. As you know, the cover for the pre-installed rear lights in this car model is represented by a black plug.

It, according to many motorists, does not fit very harmoniously into the overall appearance of the optics. For this reason, many owners of this car replace the plug with additional lighting (most often LED, as it is durable and quite bright).

To replace the plugs on the lights, you will need to dismantle it, and then connect the new optics to the wiring according to the diagram described in the instructions.

Rear additional lights of Lada Largus

Where can I buy additional lights?

Purchasing additional optics for the Lada Largus is a necessity due to increased driver safety while driving. With additional lights, the car will be much better visible to road users at night in any weather.

The material of the products is made from foreign high-quality ABS plastic, glass from German PMMA, and the lighting is provided by high-quality LEDs. The lights on the Laga Largus operate in 2 modes: brake light and side lights. The set weighs about 2 kg. It is also possible to change these operating modes to another scheme. The kit includes a pair of lights (left and right), wiring harnesses, installation and connection diagram. The installed optics will fit perfectly with the pre-installed ones, and the exterior of the car itself will look complete. In addition, installing additional lights will perfectly highlight the dimensions and brake lights.

Rear additional tuning lights for Lada Largus

In addition, there is a company on the market engaged in tuning domestic cars and supplying spare parts for them - TuneAvto. It also sells LED rear auxiliary lights made of ABS plastic. The product can operate in 3 modes at once, such as:

dimensions;
brake signal;
dimensions + brake signal at the same time.

The product comes with a six-month warranty. The product weighs 1.8 kg. It is fully compatible with standard optics and is not subject to fading due to exposure to sunlight. Gives a complete look to all rear optics.

Installation instructions

To remove the plug and install additional rear lights instead, perform the work in the following sequence:

Remove the main light from the rear of the body. To do this, you will need to unscrew 2 fasteners and then disconnect the block.
After the lamp is removed, remove the upholstery inside the car, located on the rear pillars.
Remove 3 fasteners holding the trim on the outside, and 1 fastener on the inside of the car. Remove the cover itself. If you have a 7-seater Lada Largus station wagon, you will need to remove the window fasteners, pistons, and mounting bolts for seat belts.
Remove the pin from the trim. It will need to be screwed into a similar place in the trim on the additional lamp.
Attach additional optics to the place of the lining using nuts.
After connecting the wiring and checking the operation of the additional lighting, put the main optics in their original place.

Additional tail lights for Lada Largus

To connect the Lada Largus optics according to the diagram, you will need:

Disconnect the terminal from the ground conductor and the battery.
Connect the wiring of the new optics to the wiring harness of the main lighting. In the additional light, the black wire is ground, the yellow wire is the side light, and the red wire is the brake signal. The wiring of the pre-installed optics has an orange, blue and black wire (brake signal, parking lights, ground, respectively).
Carefully insulate the wiring connection.
To check whether the attached additional optics works on the Lada Largus, connect the battery. After this, turn on the dimensions and press the pedal that activates the brake light.

How to quickly replace PTF?

If the light fixtures we are considering are damaged, then replacing the fog lights will not take much time. Next, we will provide instructions using the example of the left PTF, since all manipulations with replacing the right headlight will be absolutely identical.

We use a Phillips screwdriver as a tool for work.

We operate from under the LADA Largus car quickly without dismantling the front bumper.

First we remove the front fender liner (left).
We press out the latch that holds the cable harness block.
We remove the block itself from the base terminal of the headlight.
Next, unscrew the three screws that hold the PTF in the bumper seat.
We take the headlight out and put it aside.
We install a new lighting device into the resulting niche.
We connect the PTF to the network and check the functionality.
We return the fender liner to its original place.
If necessary, adjust the light beam.

Features of fog lights on Largus

If we consider the Russian station wagon Lada Largus, then its PTFs have design differences depending on the period the modification is on the assembly line. Some configurations (“Norma”) are not equipped with this lighting equipment, so before purchasing, the owner of a Lada Largus should look into the bumper and make sure that there are corresponding niches under the PTF. Usually they are closed with special plugs. All versions of headlights on the market are initially equipped with light bulbs.

As an option, you can resort to installing xenon lighting equipment. Here we recommend that you consult in advance about the applicability of the xenon lamp to the headlight body, since their geometric features may not coincide. If everything fits, then this will be the most rational option, because xenon lamps will save PTF glass from constant cracking due to heating temperature. We also note the possibility of installing LED lighting sources.
