Not in every complete set of "Lada Grants"fog lights were installed from the factory. Such optics are necessary if you often have to travel in conditions of limited visibility, in fog, through the rain. But be sure to correctly install and adjust the optics. Independently make the installation can every driver who knows how to use wrenches and screwdrivers, and also understands the electrical circuits. The entire installation procedure will take no more than two hours if all the necessary tools and materials are available.
How to choose a fog?
On cars "Lada Granta" fog lightsinstalled at the bottom of the bumper. If you take a good look, you will see there are small hollows round. The dimensions are exactly the same as on cars "Kalina".
Fog with "Kalina" without any problems installed on the "Grant" and "Prior". On sale you can meet the optics of the following brands:
- Bosch, manufactured in Ryazan, can be distinguished by flat glass block fog.
- A similar optics is produced in Kirzhach, but it has bulging glasses.
Mounts on these devices are the same, connectiontoo, so the choice is up to you. But the majority of motorists who have been using fog for many years claim that the glass of the Ryazan manufacturer is much stronger. And they often beat stones that fly out from under the wheels of cars in front. The kit also has a fog light switching module. On the "Lada Grant" constantly include them is not necessary.
Preparing for installation
First you need to check whether the fullgrade protivotumanok. Visually assess the integrity of the glass, the build quality of the headlamp unit. Be sure to include in the kit all connecting wires, electromagnetic relay, fuses. Study the wiring diagram of all elements.
It should be noted that in standard electricsthe car already has wires to connect the fog lights. There are loose plugs in the fuse box. They can be used to power optics.
Removing the bumper
Before installing the fogheadlights on the "Lada Grant" (the price ranges from 500 to 2500 rubles), you must disconnect the negative terminal of the battery. It is advisable to remove the bumper, as in this case the installation of the fog light is much easier to do. To do this, follow these steps:
- Unscrew the four screws that are on the wheel arches.
- Also two self-tapping screws, which are located on the bottom of the bumper mount.
- All nuts that are used to mount the motor protection must be unscrewed.
- Completely remove the grille.
After dismantling all fasteners bumpercan be carefully removed. Try to do it slowly, otherwise you can destroy the place of fasteners. The case is quite fragile, it is not difficult to break it. First, drag the corners, and then the middle of the bumper.
How to cut holes in the bumper?
On the bumper "Lada Grants" fog lamps are installed in plastic-molded form. But inside there are stubs. They need to be installed before the installation fog cut.
The algorithm of the following:
- You mark out the places for cutting holes.
- Carefully cut the holes. This should be done with a stationery knife. But it would be better if you use a drill.
- After you cut the holes, you need toprocess inside edges. This can be done with a round file, a drill, a nozzle on an electric drill. The main thing is to achieve a perfectly flat and smooth surface without any burrs.
After that you can proceed to the installation.protivotumanok. On the new "Lada Grant" all the work must be done as carefully as possible. To ensure a better connection, you can apply a sealant on the inside of the hole. This will ensure a more tight fit of the fog light unit.
Connection protivotumanok
After the unit is installedlights, you need to connect all wiring to the electrical system. If you use standard wiring, you just need to connect the headlights, install a fuse in the unit, an electromagnetic relay, and in the dashboard a button to turn on.
But you can reinstall without usingstandard electrical wiring. To do this, you need to use the details from the kit for mounting the protivotumanok. From the lamps you need to stretch the wires to the fuse box. Fix the wires on the harnesses that are laid in the engine compartment. All connections must be made approximately according to the scheme as shown in the photo in the article.
Description of the scheme and its implementation
This is a standard circuit diagram, it can beUse not only for fog lights. The fuse and the electromagnetic relay are best installed in the mounting block. So you can get rid of a large number of electrical appliances in the engine compartment. On the dashboard, you must install a button with which will turn on the fog.
If you installed in the holes forfog lights LED running lights, then you can do a little trickier. Simply connect the LEDs to the side lights. And even better - make sure that these running lights light up when you turn on the ignition. New "Lada Granta" with LED lights will look beautiful on the road.
Verification of installation quality
Before connecting the negative terminalbattery, you need to check how well collected all the elements. Cases of headlights should sit tight, do not allow play. Wires must not touch moving parts, elements of the ignition system, radiator cells, engine block. Sections of wires that go from the fog lights "Lada Grants" to the engine compartment, it is advisable to run into a corrugated tube.
This will avoid wire breakage.Only then can you connect the negative terminal to the battery. By clicking on the button, you should see that both lights shine the same. After checking their performance, collect all dismantled elements of the body. At this installation installation kit fog lamps "Lada Grants" can be considered complete.
