Zhiguli "ten" is an excellent example of the attempt of manufacturers from Togliatti to reach the level of the Western automotive industry. But in order to bring the car closer to foreign cars, you should perform tuning of its elements. Let's see together what came of it.
Improving performance and appearance
It will be fair to say that such events will require a fairly large amount of money and effort. The engine, chassis, bodywork, interior, dashboard are being improved. But we will talk today about tuning the headlights of the VAZ 2110 with our own hands.
To carry out such work on the headlights located in the front and rear, you can use the services of a car service. But if there is a corresponding desire and free time, then the work is completely done on their own.
The procedure for replacing bulbs in Bosch headlights
Often, drivers are faced with a problem when the headlights do not illuminate the road with high quality at night. This is due to the fact that the manufacturer installs H1 lamps. Experienced craftsmen assure that after replacing the standard lamp with an analogue of H 7, the situation improves significantly.
Such work is done quite simply:
Now the road will be illuminated with better quality.
Installing bi-xenon lenses
This is the second way to improve track lighting. With its help, it is possible to achieve a better view in the dark, not only in the near, but also in the far zone of illumination, without creating discomfort for the drivers of oncoming traffic.
It is rather difficult to insert the lenses, since there is an interference with the design features of the headlight. In case of erroneous actions, there is a possibility that an emergency situation may arise on the track.
Having disassembled the headlamp, remove the reflective element. Transition elements are made of aluminum or steel material that will hold the lens. By installing the rimmed magnifying glass, the inner parts of the headlight are adjusted. For this purpose, cuts are made on the sides, the void areas are closed with pieces of plastic. An adjustment space is provided between the lens and the substrate. We carry out the assembly of the headlight, taking care of the tightness in order to avoid fogging in the future. It remains only to install the lighting element in its place and adjust it.
Tuning the taillights
Such work will add style and elegance to the car. If you want to save money, you can do everything yourself. Two options are used to trim the rear lights:
- varnish for tinting;
- tint film.
Having purchased a special varnish, the lanterns should be well washed and dried. After that, their surface is degreased with an alcohol-containing composition. The varnish is sprayed from a distance of thirty centimeters, after each applied layer, time is kept for its complete drying. The tuning effect will depend on the number of layers. Finally, some drivers polish to achieve a matte finish.
