There are many tuning methods, the cheapest of which is modifying the headlights. In addition to the basic replacement of low beam and high beam, car enthusiasts are often interested in how to make dimensions in turn signals. Some drivers even duplicate the side lights on a VAZ 2110 or VAZ 2114. This is done because the visibility of the lighting on the road surface is not very good, which is very important at night and in bad weather to prevent accidents.

Types of jobs

You can modify turn signals on your car in the following ways:

• supplement the illuminated turn signals with dimensions by moving them from the headlights;
• insert additional side lamps into the front optics;
• change the color of the side lamps to yellow or white;
• use .

If the dimensions are yellow, then the light from the turn signals will merge with it, if the color is white, then the turn signals will stand out against the background of the main dimensions

Installation process

Before you understand how to connect turn signals to side lights, keep in mind that there are two main colors of side light optics:

• yellow (“American”) with the same color of rotating optics will merge;
• White when turning yellow is better to stand out on the road.

Side lights are inserted into turn signals on a car as follows:

• in the rotating optics on the VAZ, cut a hole where the cartridge will be inserted. It is acceptable to use the w5w cartridge type. It will fit into a standard 5W incandescent light bulb or LED strip;
• secure the cartridge in the optic for rotation to avoid moisture, dirt and for durable fastening;
• To transfer lighting from headlights to a VAZ 2107 or 2109, switch the wires to the newly installed socket. When connecting additional lights without transfer, it is necessary to close the contact in the block that goes to the headlight in a parallel manner.

After such modifications, the car acquires a special charm.

Despite the apparent convenience for the driver, according to the Administrative Code, such a change in configuration leads to confusion among other drivers and even causes accidents.

Also keep in mind that if you install lighting devices equipped with red lights or reflectors in front of the car, as well as devices with operating modes and colors that do not comply with the law, you will face a fine in the following amounts:

• 2500 rubles if you are a civilian;
• 15,000-20,000 rubles - official;
• 40,000-50,000 rubles - legal.

Penalties are regulated by the regulations on the admission of vehicles to operation.

Recently, motorists have resorted to the possibility of equipping side lighting in corners using bulbs with two contacts. But this measure may also interfere with other participants traffic. Thus, manipulating the headlights, no matter how useful they may be for you, may impair your safety. Therefore, do not be surprised by the increasing attention to your car from traffic police officers.

Good day, dear readers, the other day I got the idea to make my car a little American, and I decided to make the turn signal dimensions, there are not many options for such an operation, for example the following: 1) Embed the second base and power it from the factory dimensions, but such a manual does not bother me satisfied, because When you turn on the turn signal, it lights up brighter and dimmer.

2)— Install a two-filament light bulb (what makes it difficult is that two yellow-colored filament light bulbs are hard to find, and besides, the result is the same as in the first option.

3)— the option that I chose, and the most complex (creating two modes of rotary lamps using a 5-pin relay, diode and capacitor). I will try to tell you about all my actions.

First of all, we go to the electrical parts store and buy there:

1. Capacitor 4700 μF*25v or 3000 μF*25V or 3300 μF*25V I don’t know what the difference is, it seems like in capacitance, I used 4700 μF*25v, all I need is 2 pcs.

2. Diode 5817 or 5819, I also don’t know what the difference is, I took 5817
3. Regular 5-pin automotive relay - 2 pcs.
3. Terminals for relays - 2 pcs.
4. Round terminals - 2 pcs.
5. Wire - 4m. (colored) I took according to the colors as in the diagram
6. Electrical tape or heat shrink
7. Terminals mother

Then we take the diagram and begin to assemble everything exactly according to the diagram

After we have done our homework, we go to the car, remove both headlights and look for “+” from the dimensions and “+” from the turn signals. The turn signal has only 2 wires, the colored one will be a plus, and the plus from the marker will be in the far right upper corner of the chip. And again, guided by the diagram, we begin to twist the wires.

Then we connect “-” in any convenient place. Well, that’s all.

Manufacturing process:

Step one. Device diagram
The system's operation scheme is very simple; there is practically nothing to describe here. All you need to do is connect the elements in a certain order to the gap between the turn signal lamps and the power supply. When operating in size mode, power must be supplied to a single wire. The author did not connect the side markers directly with the turning lights; he made a separate button to turn on the “American” lights if necessary. For these purposes, the fog light button was used.

Step two. Relay connection process
The relay is connected using soldering. How to do this can be seen in detail in the photo. The most important thing in this process is careful insulation of the soldering area and exposed conductors.

Step three. We connect the button and test the system
Now all that remains is to connect the system to the block on-board computer, connect the button, the author even connected a power indicator. Now, after pressing the button, it begins to glow, which indicates that the system is turned on. Well, you can see in more detail how everything works in the video.
