Today, tuning cars is becoming increasingly popular. This is especially true of domestic VAZs. Changing the main headlights on the VAZ 2110, some car owners are thinking about installing foglights. Such a thing will not only improve the light qualities of an iron friend at night, but also emphasize its unique design during the day. Despite these advantages, not every driver installs fog lights on the VAZ 2110. One of the reasons is the high cost of installation.
Often, for their connection, service centers require 2-3 thousand rubles from drivers. But with certain knowledge, you can install them yourself and save a lot of money. And in order for the foglights to be not only high-quality, but also inexpensive, you need to learn how to choose them correctly. On how to choose the main and fog lights, we will tell you in this article.
What headlights are better on the VAZ 2110
At the moment, VAZ cars of the tenth model are equipped with two brands of headlights:
- Lamps of the domestic brand "Krizhach" (their cost is about 2500-2800 rubles).
- The German manufacturer "Bosch" (the price is slightly lower - from 2200 to 2400 rubles).
Which of the two brands is better
The dipped beam is the basis of every headlight. Many car owners use this particular light on long trips, as it blinds oncoming drivers less, and, accordingly, the risk of accidents decreases. Products of the Kirzhach company are equipped with a passing beam lens, and the far beam is equipped with a reflector. The German counterpart has reflectors in both cases (the brightness is greater, but the lighting is the same). The lens has great advantages over the reflector: a clearer light line, the ability to install xenon, and so on. Judging by the reviews, German headlights have a weaker flash in the near mode. But the headlights on the VAZ 2110 of the Bosch brand have one plus - when used in rainy and cloudy weather, the lamps of this brand provide more clear lighting than the Kirzhach. And all because of the larger surface of the reflector under the dipped beam. But you should forget about xenon lenses. In all other respects, the domestic manufacturer wins. Actually, because of this, German products cost less than domestic products. As you can see, imported headlights are not always better than ours. And, answering the question about which headlight is better, one can be advised to be guided by the principle: “Russian headlights on a Russian car”. Lamps of the Krizhach brand have more advantages than the foreign Bosch.
They installed an expensive headlight, but it does not light anything. What to do?
Some drivers with poor lighting write off everything for marriage or fake. But actually it is not. To make the lamps shine as best as possible, the correct choice of the manufacturer is not enough. After their installation, adjustments should be made. In this case, it is better to trust professionals at service stations. But if you have certain skills, then you can do it yourself. No expensive equipment is required for this. Properly configured headlights on the VAZ 2110 will provide you a long and uninterrupted service.
