Fog light button VAZ 2114 pinout

Installing a fog light

We said earlier that fog lights on the VAZ-2114 and other Samaras are installed from the factory only in “luxury” versions. And without PTF, driving is very uncomfortable, because the head light on the Samara is very weak - worse than on the Nine. This is why many car owners are wondering how to install fog lights themselves? In fact, the whole process is very simple, but it takes time. You can even get by with an old bumper without holes for the PTF - cut it out with a jigsaw and install “glasses”.

DIY installation and connection of fog lights on VAZ 2113, 2114, 2115

One of the most unpleasant and dangerous natural phenomena for road users is fog. In poor visibility conditions, the likelihood of vehicle collisions increases. Equipping your car with fog lights allows you to drive in any weather conditions. You can install and connect such lighting devices to a VAZ 2113, 2114, 2115 at a car service center, but doing it yourself will cost much less.

Why do you need PTF on VAZ 2113, 2114, 2115

The fog is located above the surface of the earth (road) at some distance and this gap remains transparent. Thanks to the fog lights (FTL), a beam of light is formed: wide in the horizontal plane and narrow in the vertical plane. It is directed parallel to the roadway. When the fog lights are on, the fog is illuminated from below, which improves road illumination. Thanks to the wide beam, side markings and the curb are clearly visible, thereby reducing the risk of leaving the roadway.

Installing PTF provides better illumination of the roadside and side markings, reducing the risk of leaving the road

Some motorists have the mistaken opinion that fog lights with high lighting efficiency can only be yellow. In fact, the road is illuminated quite well by devices with both white and yellow glasses. The designated colors, compared to green, red or any other, are characterized by maximum light energy in the spectrum. However, it should be taken into account that when installing even the highest quality PTFs, visibility will be no more than 10 m in heavy fog. But since in such weather conditions the speed of movement is low, these indicators are quite sufficient. Sometimes vehicles are equipped with rear fog lights, the purpose of which is to improve the vehicle's visibility when driving in fog.

Checking the functionality of the PTF

After the work has been carried out to connect the fog lights on the VAZ 2114, it is worth checking their functionality. If everything is done correctly, then when you turn on the side lights and press the button, voltage will begin to flow to the relay, after which the lamps should light up. If you turn off the headlights, the fog lights should also go off, regardless of the position of the button. If everything is done correctly, then the next step is to adjust the light beam so as not to blind oncoming drivers. Having done this by eye, the light from the fog lights should be 10-15 meters ahead of the car, but no more. It is best to contact a service station with special equipment to adjust the headlights, or read the instructions in more detail on how to do it yourself. Useful: How to adjust the headlights and PTF on a VAZ 2114? Correct adjustment is the key to safety on the road, not only for you, but also for other road users. By installing fog lights, car enthusiasts want to get not only direct functionality, but also improve the appearance of the car. Since public roads require driving with the optics always on, fog lights can take over this function. Thus, you can install high-quality lamps in them and spend less on constantly replacing burnt-out light elements in the headlights. As described earlier, at the most unexpected moment, PTF can help you out when visibility deteriorates when driving along the highway during fog.

Methods for installing PTF on VAZ 2113, 2114, 2115

Installation of fog lights can be done in several ways. Which one to choose, each car owner decides for himself, based on his capabilities and preferences. Let's look at the most common installation options:

Buying a front bumper with PTF. In this case, the headlights are sold already mounted in the front bumper. As a rule, a part can be purchased without any problems at a car tuning studio and immediately installed and connected. The disadvantages of this option include high financial costs.

Buying a bumper with PTF installed is the most expensive option for installing fog lights on a car.

When purchasing a bumper with holes for fog lights, you will need to purchase the lights themselves and all the necessary components for connection

The most common option for installing PTF is to purchase and then install a set of fog lights yourself.

PTF location diagram on a car

Before connecting the fog lights, it is important to install the devices correctly on the front of the car. This is done in accordance with certain rules, which clearly stipulate the location of the light source. On modern cars, the installation locations for fog lights are marked from the factory. Basically, such lighting elements are installed on more expensive car configurations. If the headlights were not installed from the factory, then the places for their installation are closed with plugs.

Fog lights on the front of the vehicle must be installed in accordance with established regulations

Is it possible to install xenon in PTF

Many car owners seek to install xenon in fog lights, arguing their actions by increasing lighting efficiency. Is this really true? Let's figure it out. First of all, when installing xenon in standard PTF housings, focusing is disrupted, which is due to a different operating principle in contrast to conventional lamps. Since standard fog lights are designed to operate with certain lamps, they simply cannot cope with xenon. The result of such changes will be too much reflection in the reflector, the rays are refracted, and the light becomes blurred. A well-known situation arises - the blinding of drivers of oncoming vehicles, which increases the risk of an accident. Installing xenon in PTF is far from the most successful solution and the effectiveness of such light is questionable, so it should be abandoned.

When installing xenon light in standard fog lights, focusing is disrupted, which leads to dazzling oncoming drivers

Installation and connection of front and rear PTFs on VAZ 2113, 2114, 2115

Before you begin installing fog lights, you will need to select a certain list of tools and additional elements. You can purchase a ready-made connection kit or select the necessary spare parts separately. When everything is prepared, you can mark on the front bumper a place for installing future headlights. The VAZ 2115 comes with standard holes from the factory, but in the case of the VAZ 2113 and VAZ 2114 you will need to work with a tool (a jigsaw or a drill). If you don’t want to damage the bumper, you can install the lighting fixtures on special brackets.

To install foglights in the front bumper, you need to make holes using a jigsaw or drill with drill bits, having previously completed the markings

Installation materials

As a rule, the kit for installing PTF on VAZ 2113, 2114, 2115 includes the following elements:

headlights with bulbs;
set of wires;
electromagnetic relay;
PTF power button;
ties and clips for fixing wires;
PTF connection diagram VAZ 2113, 2114, 2115.

The kit for connecting fog lights should include wires with terminals and connectors, a relay, a button

The installation of the lighting sources in question must be carried out using a button and an electromagnetic relay. The fact is that fog lights consume quite a lot of current and connecting directly to the ignition switch will lead to burning and subsequently burnout of the contacts. All this can contribute to damage to the wire insulation and the occurrence of a short circuit, which may result in failure of the electrical wiring.

Step-by-step installation and connection of PTF

To install fog lights, the following procedure must be followed:

Installation of the headlight switch button in the cabin. You can choose any location for the element, as long as the driver can easily operate the key. Quite often, the part is installed instead of plugs on the dashboard.

The PTF activation key is usually located instead of one of the plugs located on the dashboard

The relay is fixed near the mounting block, for which it is necessary to unscrew the two fastening nuts

A wiring harness with four contacts, which is included in the kit, is laid to the mounting block

The ground is attached to the headlights, the positive wires are connected to pins 2 and 3 of block No. 8

As for the rear PTFs on VAZ 2113, 2114, 2115, on these modifications of the car such a light source is installed from the factory, i.e. another light bulb is used in the rear light. Control is also carried out from the passenger compartment using a button, but without fixing, since a slightly different relay design (electronic) is used. It’s worth knowing about this and not trying to install a latching key.

Checking the performance of PTF on VAZ 2113, 2114, 2115

After the lighting devices are installed and connected, you need to check how correctly everything works. To do this, just turn on the headlights and press the key that supplies voltage to the PTF relay, after which the headlamp lamps should light up. When the headlights are turned off, the PTF lamps should also go out, regardless of the position of the fog light button. After checking the functionality of the light source, you will need to adjust the light output so that oncoming drivers are not dazzled.

The main causes of PTF malfunction

The most common reasons why the VAZ 2114 fog lights do not work are as follows:

fuse is blown;
burnt out light bulb(s);
oxidation of contacts occurred;
lost contact with the “mass”;
the button is faulty;
the relay has failed.

In addition, some other, rarer reasons are possible, which we will also consider below.

And so, the very first and most common reason is a blown fuse.

Each of the fog lights has its own fuse, namely F9 and F8 in the block, each of which is designed for a maximum current of 7.5 Amperes. In some cases, it happens that there are no fuses responsible for protecting the fog lights in the common block.

This happens when a car is purchased second-hand, and the PTFs were installed independently by its previous owner. In this case, you should inspect the entrance and the board on which the headlights themselves are located. Very often, during self-installation, the fuse is attached in this place.

VAZ 2114 fuses

When replacing, you should use a fuse exclusively for a current of 7.5 A. A fuse designed for a higher current simply will not be able to protect the headlights from a voltage surge, and one designed for a lower one will often burn out.

If both fog lights do not light up at once, then the problem is most likely not in the fuse, since the failure of two protective elements at once is quite rare.

The next reason why the fog lights on the VAZ 2114 do not light up may be the usual burnout of the light bulbs. In order to check this, just unscrew the old lamps and screw in new ones in their place.

Another, no less common reason (especially in the middle climate) is the oxidation of the contact connectors of the headlights themselves. Very often this causes blinking or intermittent operation of the light bulbs. In order to eliminate this nuisance, it is enough to remove oxides by cleaning the headlight contacts with fine-grain sandpaper or wiping well with WD-40, White Spirit or kerosene.

Also, the contact running from the battery negative to the housing (to ground) often oxidizes. If this happens, the joint should be thoroughly cleaned, as described above.

Oxidation of PTF contact

Another reason why the fog lights may not turn on is the failure of the button located on the front panel of the car, which is used to turn on the PTF. You can check its functionality in two ways: connect a new button (if you have one) and try to turn on the headlights, or ring the button with a multimeter. If the button turns out to be damaged, it should be replaced with a new one, since it is practically not repairable.

PTF power button

Failure of the relay may also be the reason why the rear fog lights of the VAZ 2114 do not work. It is checked in the same way as a button - by testing the contact legs or replacing the relay with a new one. If it turns out that it has become unusable, it should also be replaced.

PTF relay VAZ 2114

Often the cause of headlight failure can be the headlights themselves. During long-term use, the reflective layer can be destroyed, chipped and fall on electrical elements, thereby interfering with their proper operation. That is why it is worth periodically checking the internal condition of all headlights (not just PTF).

If all of the above reasons have been checked, and none of them have been identified, then the problem is in the wiring itself. In this case, you should ring all the wires used in the fog lamp connection circuit, and also check the correctness of the connection itself.

This can be done using the diagram given at the beginning

In this case, special attention should be paid to the correct connection (to the correct connectors) of the button and relay

In the dashboard wiring, the second ends of the white wires are brought together into one point, which is connected to the instrument lighting switch (except for the white wire, from plug “4” of block “X2” of mounting block 28 to the connector of the display unit 83 of the on-board control system). The other ends of the black wires are also connected at the grounding points. The second ends of the yellow wires with the blue stripe are connected at a point connected to the "4" plug of the "X1" mounting block. The second ends of the white wires with a red stripe are connected at the connection point to the “10” plug of the “X4” mounting block. And also the second ends of the orange wires are connected at the point connected to plug “3” of the “X4” block.

What are fog lamps for?

The main task of the PTF is to illuminate the space in front of the car. Correctly adjusted “fog lights” can illuminate a section of road 10–15 meters long. This distance is quite enough for safe movement by car in poor visibility conditions. The switching on and off of such lighting devices must be fully controlled by the driver.

Adjustment of fog lights is carried out during their installation. The procedure does not take much time, but requires care and precision. You can install the rear and front PTFs yourself.

How can you install PTF on a VAZ 2113, 2114, 2115

Installation of fog lights on a car can be done in different ways. The car owner chooses a specific option based on his own capabilities, preferences and wishes. There are three main ways to install PTF:

The disadvantage of this method is that the cost of the work is too high.

One way to install foglights is to buy a bumper with already built-in PTFs

Installation diagram of fog lights

The connection of fog lights is carried out according to certain rules. They, first of all, relate to the placement of PTF on the car. The locations for installing headlights are strictly defined.

Layout of daytime running lights

Manufacturers of modern car models pre-mark the PTF installation locations on the bumpers. As a rule, such lighting elements are most often available in the luxury version of the car. If the headlights themselves are missing, then their installation sites are closed with special plugs.

Distance at which fog lights can be placed

How to assemble an electrical circuit

Let's start with the fact that according to GOST, fog lights must turn on simultaneously with the side lights. But this does not mean at all that the latter cannot be turned on without PTF. That is, when the side lights are turned off, the fog lights will not light up.

circuit diagram First, we install the relay. The location for this can be chosen anywhere, for example, behind the dashboard. We connect the wire from pin 86 to the nearest negative wire, suitable for all devices on the panel, or we place it on the body. After this, we will stretch the wire that will be connected to 85 to the installation location of the PTF disable and enable button and make a connection to its contacts. From the second contact of this switch the wire goes to the +12 V contact on the ignition switch.

The wire from relay contact 87 is pulled through the plug to the fuse contact, while its second contact is connected to the positive terminal of the battery. It is best to place the fuse as close to the battery as possible. The wires going to the terminal of the anti-decoys connected in a parallel circuit are connected to the 30th contact of the relay. The second terminal of the PTF is connected to ground or the negative wire of the main headlights located nearby.

After this, all elements of the assembled circuit are carefully checked to ensure the quality of the connections made and the absence of even the theoretical possibility of a short circuit. After this, you should check the functionality of the circuit by connecting headlights that have not yet been installed to it. Only after this can you proceed to the next stage - connecting the fog lights.

How to install a PTF: necessary materials and tools

Installation of fog lights, regardless of the chosen installation method, requires the presence of certain parts and tools, without which it is impossible.

What are the button and relay for?

A special button and relay are a must - “fog lights” are very powerful equipment for car electrical wiring. The absence of such parts can provoke high current loads on the terminals and the ignition switch, which will cause burnout of contacts, damage and overheating of the insulation protection and short circuit with failure of the electrical network.

In order to install fog lights on a VAZ, you need to assemble certain parts in advance or purchase a ready-made kit. The cost of such a set rarely exceeds one thousand rubles.

The PTF kit includes:

wires with blocks and terminals for a specific VAZ model. There are three of them as standard: one connects the headlights, the second goes to the relay from the switch, and the third goes from the relay to the fuse box;

Which PTFs should you prefer? The headlights themselves are chosen by the driver to his taste, but the main thing when choosing is not to make a mistake with the power, so as not to overload the generator and the car’s electrical wiring. It is better not to purchase headlights with xenon: the generator has a certain power reserve, but is not designed for too high loads. Regular light bulbs will be sufficient.

Legal requirements

When purchasing headlights, an auto parts store offers a huge variety of fog components in different formats and sizes. GOST 8769-75 forces VAZ-2110 drivers to control themselves and install headlights that meet certain legal requirements:

You cannot install just one fog light; fixation involves installing a kit consisting of 2 parts.
If you measure the distance from the side marker, the headlight is in 400 mm increments, and the measurements are taken along the outside of the diffuser.
The step from the road surface to the bottom edge to the dissipative product cannot be less than 150 mm.
It is not permissible to install headlights higher than the headlight.

Tools and materials required for installation

To install the PTF, you must purchase in advance the entire set of materials and tools:

A set of fog lights, note that the VAZ-2110 dashboard is an older model, so the headlights for Euro models should be put aside.
Lamp for monitoring the procedure.
A multimeter that allows you to test the correctness of individual stages of work.
Double connectors, among experts they are also called “mother and father”, 1 set is enough.
8 pieces of female connectors.
Insulating tape.
Packaging material for heat shrinking.

To correctly install fog lights on a VAZ-2110, you need to start from the electrical diagram; it can be taken from KGPTF.

How to connect fog lights with your own hands

Before directly installing the headlights, their location is determined. In the case of the VAZ 2115 car, the bumper already has standard holes for installing additional lighting fixtures. Similar ones can be cut in the bumpers of VAZ 2113 and VAZ 2114.

There is no need to spoil the appearance of the bumper - fog lights are easily installed on special brackets. Many PTF kits contain special decorative plugs that add attractiveness and neatness to the installed headlights and facilitate the installation process.

Installation and connection algorithm

Installation of a power button in the car interior. In the case of the VAZ-2114, the place for the button is on the left side of the driver on the front panel. However, its placement can be arbitrary - the main thing is that it is convenient for the driver to drive the car. Often, PTF power buttons are installed instead of plugs on the control panel.

A PTF activation button is installed in the cabin in a place convenient for the driver.

The functionality of the entire connection can be checked by turning on the side lights - only then will the fog lights work.

Fog lights only function when the side lights are on

After completing the installation of the PTFs on the car, they only need to be adjusted correctly. The flow of light should not blind drivers in the oncoming lane.

Video: instructions for installing and connecting fog lights

Fog lights are essential lighting equipment on any car, making it easier to travel in conditions of minimal visibility. If there is no PTF on a certain car model, you can install them yourself. The installation procedure does not require special knowledge and can be carried out by the driver without the involvement of third parties.

Connecting fogs

All necessary actions should be carried out strictly according to this scheme.

At the end, we install the power button on the dashboard inside the car, and also check how everything works.

As you can now see, the installation did not take much time, and the result exceeded all expectations.

Thank you all very much, who helped in choosing the fog lights ;-)!

And so, I bought a fog lamp from the company “Wesem”, as well as a kit for connecting to the VAZ 2107 from the company “Autoelectronics”.

Dimensions of fog lamps: 120h48h65. Price of fog lights: 29.90 Euro + shipping 7 Euro. The price of the complete set for connection of antifog headlights: 14.79 Euros + 7 Euros. Halogens: H3 / 12V / 55W (can be supplied by others from the company “Osram”)

Photographs of the fog lights and the connection kit are attached.

Thank you very much for the help!

Fog lights or simply PTF are an important element of the lighting system for a car. Alas, not all manufacturers equip their cars with these devices. AvtoVAZ with its model 2114 is no exception. PTFs for the fourteenth are available only for an additional fee and in the most expensive configuration.

Not everyone sees the point in buying the most complete version just to get PTF. An excellent solution is to install foglights yourself.

Beautiful and effective

Installation methods

There are several options to equip your car with a fog light system. The choice depends on your personal preferences and capabilities.

Way

Peculiarities

Buying a bumper with built-in PTF

Such bumpers are bought at a tuning studio, where everything will be connected and connected for you. The disadvantage of this option is the high cost

Buying a bumper from a VAZ 2115 and installing it yourself

To do this, you will have to buy a bumper from an older model, which has holes for fog lights. All that remains is to find a suitable set of PTFs and install them

Purchase of PTF and facing elements - glasses

Today this method is in greatest demand because it allows you to do the installation yourself for little money.

The standard PTF kit includes several elements:

Headlights;
Light bulbs;
Switching relay;
Set of wires;
Connection diagram;
Button to turn on/off PTF.

When choosing a set, pay attention to the fact that the headlights match the shape of the glasses, that is, the facing elements.

Standard kit

Today, for VAZ 2114 owners who want to install fog lights, it is recommended to choose rectangular kits from the Kirzhach company. It is used for factory installation of PTF on expensive versions of the model.

Xenon in PTF

Many car owners are thinking about installing xenon lamps in their fog lights. Is it good? Not really.

The thing is that when installing xenon in the PTF, focusing is disrupted. The operating principle of xenon is somewhat different compared to conventional Kirzhach type lamps.

Standard PTFs are designed for certain types of lamps, so they cannot cope with xenon. As a result, excessive reflection is observed in the reflector, rays are refracted, and the light is blurred. Where does this lead? To blind oncoming drivers.

The xenon option is not a practical or successful solution. Therefore, we recommend that you avoid it.

Another option is a combination of xenon and yellow fog lights. You will need H1 xenon bulbs, which are mounted in a bottle cap and only then placed in the headlight. This way the light beam has smoother boundaries, does not blind oncoming traffic, and better illuminates the roads in bad weather. Only after installing this combination lighting, be sure to make sure that your headlights really do not blind oncoming cars.

Auto-assistance

When driving a VAZ-2115 passenger car, regardless of the time of day, the side lights, as well as the headlights, must be turned on. This is a requirement of the Russian Traffic Rules that every driver must comply with. Therefore, the electrical circuits of side lights and brake lights operate through the K4 lamp control relay, the task of which is to warn the driver with a light and sound signal that at least one of the lamps of the above listed electrical circuits is not turned on. This will force the driver to get out of the car and determine which side light lamp is not on and begin to search for the problem.

On a VAZ-2115 car, the side light lamps in the rear lights often stop working. This is due to the occurrence of leaks in the lamps, as a result of which moisture gets inside, which leads to oxidation of the plug of the block or the track on the flexible circuit board, through which voltage is supplied to the lamp contacts.

There are cases when, after moving the exterior lighting switch to the first position, not a single side light lamp lights up. The search for such a malfunction will have to begin by checking the presence of voltage at terminal 1 of this switch. It should be +12 volts, even with the ignition off.

If this terminal is de-energized, then you will need to sequentially check the voltage at terminal 6 of connector X8, and then at terminal 6 of connector X1 of the mounting block. If there is voltage at these terminals, the culprit for the lack of power at terminal 1 of the outdoor lighting switch will be the pink wire connecting it to terminal 6 of connector X1 of the mounting block.

Well, if there is voltage at terminal 1 of the external lighting switch, the culprit for the side lamps not turning on may be the switch itself or the K4 lamp control relay. To make sure that the switch is out of order, you need to move it to the first on position and check for voltage at its terminal 2. If there is no voltage at this terminal, then the outdoor lighting switch will have to be replaced.

If fuse F10 (7.5 A) blows, the front and rear side lamps on the left side of the VAZ-2115 car will not light up, and if fuse F11 (7.5 A) fails, both side light bulbs on the right side of this vehicle will not light up. car. The blown fuse F10 can be determined instantly, without even looking into the mounting block, since the backlight lamps for switches, heater control levers, cigarette lighter, and ashtray immediately turn off, because it also protects these electrical circuits.

Installation

The PTF installation process can be divided into three main stages:

Installation of headlights;
Network connection;
Functionality check.

So now we will talk about each stage separately.

Installing headlights

We will consider the option of installing PTF on a standard bumper. Therefore, it does not have holes for new optics. You will have to do them yourself.

To work you will need a certain set of tools and materials:

File;
Drill and drill bits;
Electric jigsaw;
Roulette;
Marker.

Elements for connection
Now about the work itself.

First of all, remove the bumper. Work is performed only if it is disconnected from the seat.
Remove all dirt from the bumper.
Make markings for the installation of future fog optics.
It is best to mount the headlights slightly to the side of the lower air intake. Try to place the PTF strictly under the main optics of your car.
For decorative glasses that have outer and inner halves, make markings. The outer half is decorative, and the inner half is designed to fix the outer part and headlights.
The outer part of the glasses has a protrusion on the inside. With this mounting protrusion, the element should fit into the hole made in the bumper.
To determine the optimal dimensions, you should measure the landing protrusion. This way you can make the appropriate markings on your bumper.
Using an electric jigsaw, holes of the required size and location are cut.
Use a file to file the cut areas.
The outer part of the glasses should eventually fit tightly into the hole.
Fog lights are mounted in the resulting holes. For this purpose, the kit includes special mounting bolts.
Attach decorative glasses to the top of the headlights. The bumper can then be returned to its place.

Headlight installation

How to connect fog lights? The installation and connection procedure is described in detail below. Let’s make a reservation right away - if necessary, you can install xenon lamps in the fogs. Xenon in PTF will burn much brighter when compared with traditional incandescent lamps, but its cost will be an order of magnitude higher. Since the bumper on the VAZ 2114 does not have appropriate places for installing fog optics, the car owner will have to make them on his own.

All work on installing optics is carried out on the dismantled bumper. If you don’t know how to remove this body element, then you just need to unscrew the fasteners that secure it. The bumper itself needs to be cleaned; it is advisable to install it at the level of the lower air intake, under the headlight optics. Installation of lights must be done in specially designated places on the bumper - the so-called glasses.

These glasses must be marked in accordance with the dimensions of the optics themselves, after which the corresponding holes must be made in the bumper. The holes are cut using a jigsaw, and it is advisable to sand the sharp edges on them with sandpaper or a file. The PTF should fit into the hole as tightly as possible, so they must be securely secured with clamps. When the installation of the optics is completed, the bumper can be put back on the car.

Connecting PTF via relay and button

During bad weather, the effectiveness of headlights noticeably decreases, which not only makes driving less comfortable, but also affects the safety of the trip.

The light beam of low and high beam headlights is reflected from raindrops and particles of water vapor during fog, forming a dense white veil.

A real salvation for the driver in such weather conditions will be fog lights (FTL), which provide a flat and wide horizontal beam of light.

It spreads over the road, illuminating the side of the road well, improving the visibility of the car itself for oncoming drivers.

Standard PTFs are rarely found in basic car models, but if desired, fog lights can always be purchased separately and installed independently. To do this, it is enough to have basic knowledge in the field of electrical engineering and electronics.

This is what the diagram for connecting the PTF button via a relay looks like:

Everything on it is extremely simple and clear.

From the battery, the plus goes through the fuse to the relay contact (30) and then from the contact (85) it goes to one contact of the PTF on/off button.
A minus signal is applied to the second contact of the button.
Next, from the relay contact (87), the plus goes to the fog lamps.
The minus is connected to contact (86).

Please note that each car model has its own characteristics, so the diagram can be adjusted.

Which ones to choose?

As we have already said, fog lights are not only an important part of the car, but also its decoration. Thus, their choice must be approached responsibly

First decide on the design and color of the light. You can choose round or square, yellow light or white. A wide range is offered by such companies as Osvar, Wesem, Hella, Catz and Osram.

The pricing policies of these brands are different, but you should assume that the more expensive the headlights, the better they are

Please note that the larger its surface, the brighter it will shine. That is why it is best to choose the largest size models from all those presented in the store.

In addition, we advise you to immediately purchase bulbs for them of the required category (H1, H2, H3, H7 or others) with a power of no more than 55 watts, so as not to blind drivers of oncoming cars and not to overheat the relay.

Instructions - how to connect fog lights via a relay and a button using the example of a Chevrolet Niva

As can be seen from the diagram above, to connect the fog lights you will need:

PTF themselves;
fog lamp relay;
headlight on/off button;
fuse 10 A;
wires and connecting terminals.

You will also need some tools for the job: screwdrivers, a sharp wire stripper and electrical tape.

We carry out the work of installing and connecting fog lights via a relay and a button in the following sequence (let's look at the example of a Chevrolet Niva):

Determine the location of the relay. Since this component is small in size, it can be easily hidden behind the dashboard.
Determine the location of the PTF on/off button ;
We measure the length of wires required for connection;
Next, we stretch the copper wire from pin 30 to the battery (+), after installing a 10 Amp fuse in a convenient place;
We connect the fog lamp button to pin 85 and install it in the selected location. As a rule, the front PTF button is installed in place of the standard buttons, where the plug is located;
Relay contact 86 is connected to ground in any convenient place;
We install fog lights. Manufacturers have made sure that those owners who wish to install fog lights do not invent a “bicycle”. The front bumpers of the Chevrolet Niva have special niches for this purpose, which are closed with plugs. In order to remove them, you need to unscrew the screws on the inside of the bumper. We insert the headlights and look at the wire markings.
We supply the positive wire to them from pin 87, the negative wire from the car body;
We are testing.

Useful rules - you need to know

When choosing the fog lights themselves and the location for their location, you should carefully read the accepted standards, which are strictly prescribed in the traffic rules.

Thus, in Russia, only factory-certified PTFs are allowed to be installed. This is confirmed by the E22 sign in a circle, which is applied to the PTF body.

There should be two fog lights themselves - no more and no less.
They should be installed at a distance of no more than 40 cm from the edge of the side marker diffuser and no lower than 25 cm from the level of the road surface. Most modern cars have standard places on the bumper for installing PTF.
If fog lights are not included in this package, plugs are installed in their place, which are easily removed and PTFs are installed in their place.

Most fog lights on the market use a standard H1 category single filament bulb. The PTF should only turn on together with the side lights.

Improper installation of fog lights can lead to an accident or cause discomfort to drivers of oncoming cars. Follow all the rules and you will never get into an unpleasant situation.

Adjustment process

This work can be divided into two stages - preparing everything necessary and directly adjusting the light flux. Let's look at each of them in more detail.

Preparatory work

At this stage you need to do the following:

First of all, make sure that your equipment is working correctly and is turned on separately, and not together with the low beam headlights. If you have done everything in a homemade way, redo the design as it should be; the diagram below will tell you the correct connection procedure.

Next, you need to check the reliability of the fastening of your PTFs; if they are loose, the adjustment will be useless. Another important nuance is the tire pressure; it must be the same so that the car stands without tilting.
To set up, you should find a flat area with a wall or a smooth, solid fence in front of it. After this, the distance from the ground to the axis of position of the fog lights is measured, and a horizontal line is drawn on the wall at this height.
Then the car is placed at a distance of 5 meters from the surface, at this point the preparation can be considered complete, as you can see, there is nothing complicated here, you will do all the steps with your own hands in literally 10 minutes.

Settings

Now let’s directly look at how to adjust the fog lights of a VAZ 2110; the instructions for carrying out the work are as follows:

Once the distance is set, you can begin adjusting the height. Again, it is better to adjust each headlight separately; the center of the light flux should be on the axis of the light elements; adjustment is made using a special screw located on the side; for this purpose, there is a hole for a screwdriver in the frame.

Once the work is completed, you will receive a light that meets the standards, which will provide excellent visibility even in the most difficult conditions. The photo shows an example of a PTF with xenon light; the brightness of this option is much higher than standard modifications with incandescent lamps. Do not forget about the correction if, for example, you have a towbar installed and you are towing a trailer.
