The importance of anti-fog optics cannot be underestimated. Everyone knows that fog lights on Priora allow better illumination of the road surface when driving in fog. Therefore, in order to protect themselves while driving, many car owners decide to install PTF themselves. You can learn about the process of installing and connecting the lights below.
Installation Guide
Before installing and connecting fog lights on Priora 2, weigh your strengths. If installing fog lights on a Priora 2 or restyling may cause difficulties, then it is better to contact an electrician. A specialist, like no one else, knows how to install headlights on a Priora and how to connect fog lights. If you decide to do everything yourself, then first prepare the necessary tool. To do this, you only need a set of keys and screwdrivers, as well as pliers (the author of the video about choosing fog optics for the Priora is the Simple Opinion channel).
Algorithm of actions
To ensure that installing fog lights on a Priora SE or 2 does not cause difficulties, simply follow the instructions:
- First you need to disconnect the battery, remove the negative terminal from it, and then disconnect the front bumper clips. Self-tapping screws for its dismantling are located on the sides, bottom and top. You need to unscrew them and remove the bumper.
- Next, you can move on to the stubs. The plugs are also fixed using self-tapping screws, but to unscrew them it will be more convenient to use a short screwdriver with a Phillips blade.
- Fog lights on Lada Priora 2 are mounted instead of previously removed plugs. To ensure that the lights are securely fixed, they can be secured using the same screws.
- After completing these steps, you need to find the longest cable in the PTF kit. This wire is connected to the left headlight, after which it is routed to the right headlight. And then the wire must be pulled from the battery side into the engine compartment.
- Using an AN 10 wrench, it is necessary to dismantle the expansion tanks in the engine compartment, which will interfere with the process. Having done this, using a 13mm wrench you will need to unscrew the fastenings of the windshield wiper blades. Eventually you will need to gain access to the left edge of the trim, and to do this you will need to remove the guard itself. When these steps are completed, the pipe can be moved to the side, and then loosen the clamp. The upholstery can then be completely removed.
- Your task is to lay and stretch the wires from the lights through the plug into the vehicle interior, and then secure them with a clamp. This clamp should be included in the kit for the PTF Priora 2.
- When the PTFs are installed on the restyled Priora, all elements are assembled in the reverse order. Don't forget to connect the wires to the crankcase protection screws.
Connection diagram
The installed fog optics will need to be connected.
The PTF connection diagram is as follows:
- First of all, in the car interior, under the steering column, you will need to remove the protective cover. To do this, the three latches should be rotated 90 degrees.
- Having done this, under the mounting fuse block you will be able to see a self-tapping screw - you need to unscrew it, after which you will have access to dismantling the block. In any case, the anti-fog optics kit should come with installation instructions and it must contain a connection diagram. Please use this as a guide during installation.
- Next, you can move on to the torpedo. On the center console, you need to remove the plug, as well as the button for activating the rear window heating system. These components are installed near the clock.
- Next, you will need the fog light button that comes with the kit. The blue wire must be connected to the mounting block, and all other wires are connected to the heating button. This can be done using special clamps, which are also included in the kit.
- At the final stage of connection, you will need to install the relay responsible for the operation of the fog lights in the unit. When performing this task, be careful - the wires that come from the engine compartment must be connected to F18 and F17, and the yellow cable should also be connected to the same contacts. The connection procedure is described in more detail in the diagram.

Basic Setup Aspects
After the fog lights are installed, their luminous flux will need to be properly adjusted so that the operation of the optics is most effective. Adjustment of fog lights should be carried out in conditions that are closest to real ones. Therefore, make sure that there is a spare tire in the trunk, the tank itself is fully filled, and the tire pressure should be the same. In addition, for greater realism, a load weighing about two hundred kilograms can be placed in the car interior.
When all these conditions are met, you can begin adjustment. First of all, the vehicle must be placed on the most level surface, this will allow you to get the most accurate result. If this condition is not met, the adjustment will be incorrect. The setting is done in front of a wall or garage door, this is a prerequisite.
To begin the adjustment, measure the distance from the ground to the middle of the lantern. After this, you should draw a straight line on the wall or garage door that corresponds to the distance measured earlier. Having done this, you will need to draw another stripe - it should be 5 centimeters lower, while the first line can be erased. The anti-fog optics should be adjusted so that the upper limit of illumination is located on the horizontal strip that you draw on the network.
Types of PTF
As you know, Priora underwent several stages of restyling, where one of the main changes was the bumpers. With the change in bumpers, the design of the PTFs themselves also changed.
In the old bumper, the fog lights had a round appearance, but in the new one they already received a frame in the shape of a triangle, but still with the same round headlight.
At first glance, you might think that they are exactly the same, but this is a wrong assumption, they have different mounting brackets
Therefore, it is important to know which bumper the PTF will be installed on.
There are two manufacturers of fog lights for Priora - BOSH and Kirzhach. It is difficult to notice any particular difference in the luminous flux of these manufacturers, but there are differences in the mounting for installation in them. It will be difficult to replace “BOSH” with “Kirzhach”; for this you will have to change the PTF spacer in the SE bumper.
There are two options for installing a pre-restyle Priora and a post-restyle Priora into the bumper (SE bumper, Priora 2).
Articles and price of PTF for PRIORA 1 (pre-restayl until 2012):
PTF Priora 1
PTF "Kirzhach": 21700-3743010-52. The price starts from 700 and reaches 1000 rubles. For one headlight, sellers ask from 500 rubles.
PTF "BOSCH": 21700-3743010-54. The price starts from 1500 and reaches 2000 rubles. For one headlight you will have to pay from 1000 rubles.
Articles and price of PTF for PRIORA 2 (restyled after September 2012):
PTF Priora 2 (with frame)PTF "Kirzhach": 21700-3743010-53. The price starts from 800 and reaches 1100 rubles. For one headlight, sellers ask from 600 rubles.
PTF "BOSCH": 21700-3743010-50. The price starts from 1000 and reaches 1500 rubles. For one headlight you will have to pay from 700 rubles.
It should also be noted that not all stores come with a mounting kit of wires and relays for the PTF. It is necessary to check with the sellers whether they have an installation kit. Otherwise, you need to purchase it in addition. Its cost is from 600 rubles.
Analogs
If for some reason the models from and “Kirzhach” do not suit you, then you should not be upset. Currently, the market is simply filled with a huge number of Chinese-made analogues.
Manufacturers from China have a large selection of high-quality PTFs that are not inferior to more expensive models.
One of the most popular Chinese PTF models are headlights that completely cover the cutout for the fog lamp, that is, they have the shape of a triangle.
Chinese PTF
If you are categorically not a supporter of Chinese production, there are a number of domestic manufacturers creating analogues of fog lights for the Lada Priora.
Law and GOST
It is necessary to take into account one of the important points when installing PTF is subsequent adjustment and LAW. According to traffic rules, lighting equipment should not blind cars moving in the opposite direction. To do this, it is imperative to adjust the headlights.
It is prohibited to install lamps not specified by the manufacturer, such as xenon and LED. PTF priors must have H11 type halogen lamps installed.
Description of the scheme
The relay must be connected according to this diagram. The relay has only 4 contacts, which are assigned numbers: 85, 86, 87 and 30.
Depending on the configuration, the Priora may be equipped with front fog lights. All cars are equipped with rear fog lights. Let's consider connecting the Priora foglights. First of all, I want to note that only the factory connection diagram is considered here. In this case, the front fog lights are turned on only with the side lights turned on. Rear fog lights with low beam headlights on.
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.
Basic Setup Aspects
After the fog lights are installed, their luminous flux will need to be properly adjusted so that the operation of the optics is most effective. Adjustment of fog lights should be carried out in conditions that are closest to real ones. Therefore, make sure that there is a spare tire in the trunk, the tank itself is fully filled, and the tire pressure should be the same. In addition, for greater realism, a load weighing about two hundred kilograms can be placed in the car interior.
When all these conditions are met, you can begin adjustment. First of all, the vehicle must be placed on the most level surface, this will allow you to get the most accurate result.

After this, you should draw a straight line on the wall or garage door that corresponds to the distance measured earlier. Having done this, you will need to draw another stripe - it should be 5 centimeters lower, while the first line can be erased. The anti-fog optics should be adjusted so that the upper limit of illumination is located on the horizontal strip that you draw on the network.
How to install PTF correctly, and why do you need to replace standard lamps?
Fog lights on Priora, as well as on any other car, are installed quite low, at a level of 0.3-0.7 meters from the road level. In this case, a narrow beam of light enters an area free of wet condensation and actually improves visibility.
But located on the roof of the trunk (additional lighting is often installed on jeeps), they are absolutely useless in a curtain of rain, in fog or during a dust storm. Therefore, fog lights used to be placed under the bumper (for old-style metal structures), but today they are placed directly into it (for modern integrated parts).
Fog lamps must comply not only with traffic regulations, but also comply with UNECE standards. The latter suggest that the fog beam on the Priora and any other car must have a special wide-angle light distribution, with a clearly defined upper limit and dispersion of up to 70 degrees horizontally. Only compliance with these parameters gives the required anti-fog effect.
The most common today are fog lights with halogen lamps with a power of 55 watts. They create a luminous flux of 1.1 thousand lumens, which is enough to illuminate a space of 25-30 meters in front of the car.
Replacing conventional incandescent lamps with them is almost always required, because... old-style lamps provide the necessary illumination at a distance of about 8-10 meters, which is clearly not enough for modern driving conditions.
Adjusting the fog lights
When the installation is complete, you are convinced that the fog lights are operational, it’s time to move on to adjusting them:
- We park the car on a flat surface, it is important that there is a wall, a garage door or something like that in front.
- Check to see if the tire pressure is the same.
- We measure the distance from the middle of the headlight to the asphalt (ground).
- Subtract 5 cm from the distance of the headlights to the floor, draw a strip on the wall corresponding to this value.
- We turn on the fog lights and adjust them so that the upper limit of the light flux is on a horizontal line.
Adjustment (setting) of PTF according to GOST
It’s not enough to just install PTFs, they also need to be configured, otherwise they will just be spotlights freely shining at an incomprehensible point - without fulfilling their functions. As in the case of other light devices, adjusting PTF on 2170 begins with checking the tire pressure (it should be equal), placing the car on a flat surface opposite a smooth wall at a distance of 5 m from the extreme point of the bumper.
On the wall, mark the distance from the floor to the center of the headlight, then a point 5 cm below. The PTF base on the Priora must be placed so that when the PTF is turned on, the upper limit of the light passes through the lower point marked on the wall. Fog lights, as statistics show, are rarely installed even after purchase, but with the correct settings they will serve as a good assistant.
Diagram of correct installation of fog lights
On Priora, fog lights are installed according to the same rules as any other car. Installation is carried out at a height of no more than half a meter from the level of the road surface. Low-mounted fog lights are out of the wet condensation zone and can actually significantly improve visibility. If you install PTFs on the roof of the trunk (as jeep owners often do), then they will turn out to be completely useless, especially during fog, rain, or a snow or dust storm. Therefore, the most effective way was and remains to install foglights under the bumper (for outdated metal structures) or directly into it (for new generation metal structures).
The fog lights that you install on your Priora must meet not only all traffic regulations, but also UN standards. The latest changes clearly state that any fogs must distribute light at a wide angle and have a clearly defined upper border. The dispersion index should be seventy degrees horizontally. Only a device with such characteristics will create an anti-fog effect.
Most often, fog lights with a halogen illuminator inside are installed on the Priora. They are enough to ensure that the space thirty meters in front of the car is sufficiently illuminated in any weather.
What is the difference between PTF for Priora 1 and Priora 2
In fact, the Lada Priora does not have any generations or numbers. In 2013, this car was restyled, which significantly changed the appearance of the Priora, but this did not make it the second generation. As for PTFs, after restyling they did not change, just as the types of lamps used in them did not change. The only exception is the Lada Priora Restyling SE, which received new PTFs, but with the same H11 lamps.
Third-party developers also produce LED versions of such headlights, and some of them can additionally serve as daytime running lights.
PTF with LED daytime running lights for Priora SE
That's probably all. If you carefully read the article, you will be able to equip your Priora with PTF yourself, and, if necessary, change the light bulb in the headlight.
Connecting Priora foglights
Let's take a closer look at the connection diagram for the Priora fog lights. The fog lights are controlled by the lighting control unit. Specifically, the switches for the front (A5) and rear (A4) fog lights. Upon examination, we can only notice one wire to enable each option. This wire passes through pin 2 to both switches through various resistances because it is a signal wire. It runs from the electrical package control controller to the switch. From the controller side, a stabilized voltage is supplied to this wire. The electrical package control unit controls changes in the amount of current passing through it.
Turn on the rear fog lights.
The rear fog lights of the Priora are turned on as follows. When you press the button on the module (A4), the wire from the electrical package control controller is connected through a negative resistance. In this case, a current of the appropriate magnitude will flow through the circuit, so the controller will receive a signal that this button is pressed. If there is power at pin 14 of block X2 and the low beam headlights are on (see “Prior headlight diagram”), then the processor, through the appropriate key, will supply power to pins 10 and 13 of block X3, to which the rear wiring harness is connected. Voltage will be supplied to the rear fog lamps and to the lighting control module. At the same time, the indicator light on the module will light up.
Turn on the fog lights.
Connecting the Priora fog lights is almost the same. The difference is in the value of resistance, and accordingly in the value of the passing current. Based on the current value, the processor of the lighting control controller determines the position of the front fog lamp button. Therefore, if there is power at pin 12 of the X2 block, the side lights are turned on (see “Prior Dimensions”), power will be supplied to pin 19 of the X2 block.
The green wire with a black stripe will supply voltage to the coil of the K10 electromagnetic relay. The coil armature will be attracted and close the contacts. In this case, fuses F17 and F18 with a nominal value of 10A will receive power, and from them, through the connecting connector of the instrument panel harness and the front harness, the lamps in the fog lights will receive power. In addition, the LED on the lighting control module will receive power from fuse F17, signaling that the headlights are on.
When you press both power buttons simultaneously, the current value will also change. Since in a parallel connection the total resistance is always less than the smaller one. That is, the value of the passing current will be maximum. Connecting Priora foglights according to this scheme makes troubleshooting very difficult, without the presence of diagnostic equipment for the electrical package control controller. If malfunctions occur, it is necessary to check the integrity of fuses, relays, operation of side lights and low beam headlights.

How to replace a burnt out lamp
Let's start with replacing the lamps in the foglight of the Lada Priora. This is a simple matter, and there is absolutely no need to go to a service station for such a trifle - everything can be done on your own. First of all, what lamps are installed in the PTF of this car? The manufacturer installs H11 type halogen lamps with a power of 55 W on both regular Priora and Priora Restyling (production since 2013).
Light bulbs in PTF Lada Priora of any modifications
In addition to, in fact, new lamps, we will need:
- Torx key T-30;
- socket wrench (head) 10;
- cotton gloves;
- inspection pit or overpass.
Removing the power unit mudguard
We drive the car into a pit or overpass. To get to the PTF of the Priora, you need to remove the engine mudguard or, as it is also called, the engine protection. To do this, use a T-30 wrench to unscrew the four screws that secure the mudguards to the engine mudguard. The photo shows two, the remaining two are on the other side of the mudguard.
Now we arm ourselves with a 10mm wrench and unscrew first the two rear mounting bolts (the second on the opposite side), and then the five front mounting bolts.
The mudguard can now be removed to gain access to the fog lights.
Replacing lamps
We look under the bumper and get to the back of the PTF. In front of us is a lamp base with a power supply inserted into it. Press the latch and pull out the block.
Turn the light bulb counterclockwise until it stops and remove it from the flashlight housing.
We put on cotton gloves, remove the new lamp from the box and install it in place of the burnt one, not forgetting to lock it by turning it clockwise until it stops. We connect the power supply (the latch should snap into place). Similarly, we change the light bulb on the second PTF and install the engine mudguard in place.
Prices for headlights and work
Installing headlights in the showroom (where you buy a car) will cost 2,000 - 3,000 rubles, plus the price of fog lights is 2,600 rubles, which is much more expensive than in a store. Installation of fog lights in a car service center averages from 1,500 to 2,000 rubles. You can buy headlights yourself. It is not necessary to pay money for installation, because fog lights can be installed on your own.
The price of a set of fog lights varies from 1200 to 1800 rubles. For headlights you need to purchase a connection kit - 400 rubles.
Standard PTF Priora 1 and 2: article number, price
AvtoVAZ installs fog lights on Lada Priora from Bosch and Avtosvet (Kirzhach). The difference is that Bosch is 40% larger in installation depth than fog lights from Kirzhach. Lighting equipment from BOSCH was installed in luxury versions, and from Kirzhach - in standard ones. Two options for the kit are being considered. The first set is a PTF for Priora 1 (pre-restyling), the second is for Priora 2 (restyling). The difference is the shape of the headlights and installation points. PTFs are sold complete or separately.
For Priora 1:
- PTF set of Kirzhach “Avtosvet” 21700-3743010-52. Price – about 700-800 rubles. One headlight costs about 500 rubles.
- PTF kit Bosch 21700-3743010-54. Price – about 1600-1900 rubles. One headlight costs about 900 rubles.
For Priora 2:

Additionally, you will have to purchase an installation kit or just a set of wires for installing fog lights for the Lada Priora-2170; it comes with a button and a relay. The kit costs about 600 rubles.
How to adjust the light flow
In order to prepare for testing and debugging fog lights, the Priora should be placed in conditions as close as possible to real ones. You need to place a load weighing approximately 200 kilograms in the cabin, a spare tire in the trunk, and completely fill the tank with fuel.
After this, the car is installed five meters from a flat wall. The tester measures the distance from the ground to the center of the fog, and draws a horizontal line on the wall five centimeters lower. If the headlights have been adjusted correctly, the light spot will be approximately at the level of this line. You can also test and debug each of the headlights separately (to do this, you need to repeat the procedure, closing each of the headlights in turn).
Many car enthusiasts who bought a car called VAZ 2170-2172 find out very late that not all trim levels are equipped with fog lights (FTL), and then they wonder how to install them themselves. This is what this article will be devoted to. So, brief instructions for installing fog lights on a VAZ Priora.
Step one
You need to purchase a ready-made installation kit from a car store to install headlights on your car. Be careful, it must include: a wiring harness of the required length, a switch button, a relay and wires for connecting it, connectors, clamps and fuses. PTFs are usually sold together with an installation manual; the installation kit also includes a connection diagram.
Step two
Don't forget, this is very important!
To prevent a dangerous short circuit from occurring during installation of the headlights, it is necessary to disconnect the ground wire from the battery before starting work.
Step three
Carefully study the diagram for installing fog lights on a Lada Priora car. It will be given below.
Step four
Prepare all the tools. You will need:
- two types of screwdrivers: Phillips and flat;
- two keys. One for eight, the other for ten;
- knife (you will need it to cut out the standard plugs in the bumper and to strip the cable).
The installation process itself can be divided into three stages.
First stage: installing headlights in the bumper
For installation of fog lights in Lada Priora there are standard places located in the bumper and closed with plugs. First you need:
- remove the protection from the engine crankcase;
- Remove the standard headlight covers.
Install new headlights in place of the standard plugs. In this case, there is no single instruction. After installation, you need to secure them with self-tapping screws. Then connect the electrical connector to the lamp.
Then lay the wiring harness along the cable under the hood, and the harness must be secured with a clamp. This must be done so that on the right side the tourniquet is long, and on the left, on the contrary, short. After this, you need to connect the negative wires directly to the car body.
Next, we install the crankcase protection back and fasten the bumper itself in place.
Second stage: installation and connection of the PTF switch
We fix the headlight switch on the front panel of the car. This is done like this:
- open the decorative panel under the steering column. To do this, you need to turn three locks ninety degrees;
- remove the plug, which is located slightly to the left of the clock.
- you should see wires in the opened hole. The switch is connected to them. We connect short wires to wires with the same contacts. We do the same with the contacts of the glass heating button.
Third stage: connecting headlights
After you have completed all the above operations, you will need to connect the new headlights to the mounting block. This process comes down to simply installing several parts into the mounting block.
- We install the K10 relay and two fuses.
- Once these parts are installed, simply place the mounting block in place. If you did everything correctly, then after installing the battery mass you should have new headlights.
Do not forget to carefully check the quality of the insulation of connections, since most fires occur due to electrical wiring faults that are not corrected in time.
Stage four: adjusting the fog lights
The performance check and adjustment of the PTF must be carried out immediately after installing the PTF. The adjustment can be made either independently or at a service station.
PTF adjustment is carried out on a fully equipped vehicle. The gas tank must be full, a spare tire and a tool kit must be present.
The work is shown on the left headlight; on the right headlight we perform the operations in the same way.
Attention! The fog lamp is halogen. You should not touch its glass bulb with your fingers, as traces from them will lead to darkening of the lamp when heated. You can remove dirt from the flask with a clean rag soaked in alcohol.
Hi all. Today at VAZ Repair another photo report on the installation of PTF. This time we will install fog lights on the Lada Priora at home. The work is not difficult, but it requires certain knowledge and adherence to a sequence of actions.
I will not delve into the details of what fog lights (FTL) are and what use they are, anyone interested can read about it on the Internet, fortunately there are many detailed, understandable explanations. I will only say that not all trim levels had fog lights installed, so we will fix this problem ourselves. Therefore, without unnecessary preambles, I propose to proceed directly to the process.
So, to install PTF on Priora you must have:
- Set of fog lights;
- Wires, corrugation, pads, adapters, relays and buttons;
- Heat shrink, electrical tape;
- Pliers, a set of keys and screwdrivers.
Additional mounting block Priora
- F1 (15 A) – main relay and starter interlock circuit fuse;
- F2 (7.5 A) – fuse for the power supply circuit of the ECU (controller);
- F3 (15 A) – Priora fuel pump fuse;
- K1 – main relay;
- K2 is the place where the Priora fuel pump relay is located.
Attention!
The relay and fuse diagram may differ depending on the configuration and production date of the vehicle. Current diagrams of the mounting block are presented in the operating manual for the date of manufacture of the vehicle (download from the official website).
Let us remind you that on our website you can find detailed instructions for repairing the Lada Priora with your own hands.
How to connect fog lights on Lada Priora?
When there is not much left in stock, you just have to disassemble everything and install the PTF, then put everything back together and enjoy the work done. Kidding :-).
- Let's start with the fact that we need to de-energize everything, to do this we remove the “-” terminal of the battery.
- Next, you need to remove the bumper; to do this, unscrew the screws that secure it one by one. The screws that need to be unscrewed are marked in the photo. After all the fasteners are unscrewed, carefully unclip the bumper from the latches and dismantle it completely.
- Next, take a screwdriver and remove the foglight plugs, which are attached with self-tapping screws.
- We prepare our fog lights and proceed to an important stage called “installation of fog lights.” We carefully place the PTFs in their regular places and secure them with the self-tapping screws that secured the plugs. Then we start laying the wiring. The wiring is routed from the inside of the bumper; it is advisable to use corrugated wire.
- The wires need to be pulled into the cabin in the GTZ area; to do this, we take out a special plug, under which the holes we need are hidden. For convenience, it is recommended to remove the frill along with the wipers, as well as the expansion tank with bracket.
- In the cabin, in order to extend and connect the fog lights, you should pull off the trim (sound insulation) and pull the wire into the cabin.
- When the wires are brought into the interior, you can start connecting. The diagram according to which it should be connected is usually included with the PTF kit, but just in case I decided to post the diagram.
- Connecting the fog lights to the button requires the removal of the central panel. When installing the PTF relay in the unit, it is important not to mix up the wires and follow the PTF connection diagram.
Installing fog lights on a Lada Priora is quite an extraordinary task and can be done by any car enthusiast. The only problem is the connection; as a rule, difficulties arise with it. However, if you follow the instructions and carefully study the connection diagram, then everything should work out. If difficulties arise during the connection, I recommend contacting an experienced electrician, he will easily help you for a minimal fee. Before final assembly, do not forget to check everything and make sure that the PTFs are working as they should.
That’s all for me, thank you for your attention and see you again at VAZ Repair! Bye!
Installing PTF in Priora 1 and 2: are there any differences?
The PTF connection on the Priora differs in the position of the headlights: in the pre-restyling version, the round headlights are located closer to the center of the front end, and in the Priora 2 - restyling: the trapezoidal PTFs are located closer to the edges of the front bumper.
Installing PTF in Priora 2 can be complicated by the fact that instead of a trapezoidal headlight, the headlight of a pre-restyling Priora car will be installed; you will have to stock up on screws and patience in order to secure the headlight well in the frame, and the plastic frame to the bumper. You can install fog lights in a couple of hours, the main thing is to understand the wiring connection order.
The procedure for installing the button inside the cabin, powering the circuit
In order to connect the PTF button, you need to perform the following steps:
- Remove the negative terminal of the battery;
- Disassemble the steering column. It is secured with three plastic latches; they need to be turned 90 degrees. Find the safety block;
- The block holds a self-tapping screw, unscrew it;
- Disassemble the center console by unscrewing four screws: under the ashtray, under the radio and near the OPEN sign. In place of the plug, put the on/off button for the fog lights and connect the blue wire to the safety block, possibly through a relay;
- Using clamps, connect the remaining wires to the heated rear window button.
