Today, a car, including a VAZ, can be purchased on lease at https://leasing-trade.ru/lizingovye-programmy/lizing-kommercheskikh-avtomobiley/. For those interested, go to the Leasing-Trade company website. But that's not what this is about.
Almost anecdotal situation. One friend bought a car, and it was completely new, straight from the showroom. I won’t say why, whether patriotic feelings came into play, or whether he simply didn’t have enough money for a foreign car, but his choice settled on the brainchild of the domestic Automotive Industry - the Lada Granta.
Literally in the first days, a friend noticed that the light in the interior of his “swallow”, sorry “Grants”, did not turn on.

↑ Questions unclear to whom
On this occasion, a friend had two questions for experts from the program “What? Where? When?":
- Which AvtoVAZ specialist came up with such a system for turning on the lighting in the Lada Grant's interior?
- Which motorist was smart and was able to guess that it was necessary to turn on the lights using the wiper switch?
Whatever you say, our people are very talented and love different jokes. The country must know its heroes. It has certainly been said that Russia cannot be understood with the mind.
And I also feel a little sorry for the owners of foreign cars, since everything in their cars is simple and clear, there is absolutely no imagination.

LED navigation light
The first in line to improve the interior lighting is the standard lampshade. To improve lighting, we need to replace the incandescent lamp with an LED one, or use LED panels.
Before starting work, to avoid a short circuit, be sure to disconnect the negative terminal of the battery!
Tools required: slotted screwdriver, soldering iron or solder paste, LED lamp or panel.
1.
Using a flat-blade screwdriver, pry up the housing of the interior lamp on the right side and remove it, disconnecting the power connector.
2.
Next, we take out the incandescent lamp and change it to an LED lamp, with a distance between the contacts from 39 to 42 mm.
Or we use LED boards, they are more efficient and durable than ready-made lamps. Power for the panels can be taken from the copper legs that are used to mount the lamp. You can place the boards as shown in the photo.
Due to the larger number of LEDs, the brightness of LED panels significantly exceeds the brightness of a conventional LED lamp, so this method of improving lighting is the most preferable. Additional light from the courtesy lamp allows you to illuminate a significant area of the vehicle exit area.
3.
After finishing the work, return the power plug to its place and snap the lighting lamp into the frame body.

LED rear row lighting
Lighting in the back row of a car can be done in various ways. They differ in labor costs and costs. We will tell you the most inexpensive and simple method of improving interior lighting.
Additional light will be provided to us by LED panels based on COB LEDs; they provide a very even and pleasant light, unlike LED strips.
Required tools and materials: flat slotted and Phillips screwdrivers, utility knife, soldering iron or solder paste, heat shrink tube, plastic spatulas for working with interior plastic, twin-core wire
Trunk light without lights on, blinking additional stop ala F1
Good morning, afternoon, evening or night to everyone who has looked into this BZ!
It so happened that I didn’t really use the trunk (especially in the dark)... And accordingly, there was no need for independent lighting. But yesterday: I was returning from the store late at night, and while unloading bags in a completely dark courtyard, in the rain, the lack of lighting infuriated me so much that measures were already taken today to eliminate this oversight by AvtoVAZ.
I decided to combine 2 innovations and add a blinking additional stop ala F1.
3 clips, and Isofix plugs needed to be removed... well, I also removed the side plastic stands, for convenience.
With the blinking additional stop everything is simple, the connector is installed in the connector.
You can only confuse the polarity with a fool... since the key is used on the plugs.
We've sorted out one device! I can’t show the result in the photo, but I’ll take a video later and add it... I added a video!
Now trunk lighting! This required a little ingenuity... Using a multimeter, it was determined that +12 appears only with dimensions, and the minus is interrupted by a limit switch when the trunk lid is closed. Conclusion: you need a permanent plus, and you can get it very close, from the power cable of the amplifier for the subwoofer...
Such a product was made. 2 pieces of wire, a 5A fuse, a short end with a tip for the amplifier, a long end for the lampshade (later redone locally and attached to the Wago for additional lighting).
Attention: do not forget about safety precautions and turn off the fuse under the hood!
And the original wire with +12 from the dimensions is insulated with white electrical tape.
Actually, that's all! The light in the trunk now turns on when it is opened, regardless of whether the dimensions are on. The additional stop also now blinks when you press the brake and a little later lights up permanently. Thanks for your attention =)

Choice of interior lighting.
Typically, motorists choose the color of future lighting to match the color of their car. The most universal option is white and blue. White is often supplied with cars of business class and higher. Blue is often seen in sports cars.
Interior lighting available:
- white,
- blue,
- red,
- green,
- multicolor
LED car lighting is rapidly gaining immense popularity in any country. High-quality LED lighting of the car interior can create a favorable environment for the driver and passengers. However, you should not overdo it; do not forget that oversaturation of a car with bright colors can distract the attention of drivers on the road.
There are 2 main places for installation, under the feet of the driver and passengers on the dashboard side, or under the feet on the seats side.
It’s easy to buy lighting for your car interior, just call our store, or order through the website, adding the goods to the basket, delivery in Moscow is carried out on the day of order, or the next day. Sending to Russian regions is carried out by mail or transport company.
Owners of Lada Vesta and XRAY cars from the first days of operation are faced with a lack of illumination of the rear row of seats. In connection with this, the manufacturer will introduce the corresponding option on the Lada Vesta (Comfort and Luxe trim levels) in 2022. Drivers of simpler trim levels can modify the interior lighting with their own hands.
Improved connection of trunk lighting for Lada Granta, Kalina and Priora
When opening the trunk, the light comes on only when the lights are on - this is a drawback of the standard connection of the trunk light of many AVTOVAZ cars (including Lada Granta, Priora, Kalina). We offer you a method that will make the lighting in the luggage compartment independent.
You will need : several meters of wire, a multimeter or test lamp, electrical tape.
In order for the backlight to turn on when the trunk lid is opened, regardless of the dimensions, it is necessary to lay a wire from the ceiling (navigator) lamp on the ceiling (where there is a constant + 12V) to the trunk light. It is not at all necessary to remove the roof trim, just bend it a little from the edge or move it out a little from the door seal.
one end of the wiring to the central wire of the interior lamp connector (for Lada Priora) or to the outer wire for Lada Kalina/Granta (white or white-red). The color of the wires may vary depending on the car model or its configuration, so first check it with a multimeter or test lamp. We hide the wire under the door seal and run it down to the lamp in the trunk.
The other end of the wiring goes to the light in the trunk. Two wires come to it, one of them is ground, and the other is + 12V from the dimensions (usually yellow-red or yellow). It is also recommended to check with the device first. Disconnect the second wire and isolate it. In its place we connect the wire from the navigation lamp. Ready!
Lada Priora front lamp diagram:
- far left (red) - “mass”
- central (white) - +12V
- far right (black) - ground (door switches)
Diagram of the front lamp of Lada Granta (pre-style) and Lada Kalina:
- far left (black) - “mass”
- central (green) - ground (door switches)
- far right (red) - +12V
Diagram of the front lamp with ERA-GLONASS for Lada Granta FL:
- 11 and 14 - +12V appears after turning on the main relay (turning on the ignition, opening the doors). The power goes out 2-5 minutes after removing the ignition key.
- 15 - “mass”.
- 17 - “ground” (door limit switches), which appears for a while when the doors are opened.
By the way, in the “Lux” configurations, the middle wire of the ceiling light has an auto-shut-off function after 10 minutes of inactivity, which is very convenient.
Let us remind you that constant +12V can be taken from other sources, for example:
- From the ignition switch (pin 50)
- ISO connector of the radio (A4 contact)
- Cigarette lighter (middle wire white-red or red-blue)
Have you made the trunk lighting independent of the dimensions? Perhaps you have thought about installing additional lighting in your doors?

We replace standard lighting with LED lamps.
To complete the work we will need the following materials and tools:
- LED Strip Light. Double-sided tape. Stationery knife.
In order to tune the interior lighting grants, you need to stock up on high-quality LED strip. The choice of LEDs is one of the most important stages in interior modernization. Therefore, it is recommended to purchase quality products from trusted manufacturers. When choosing lamps, make sure that they are suitable for connection to the vehicle's standard 12-volt power supply.
Stages of work execution.
First of all, it is necessary to dismantle the standard interior lamp. After we have dismantled the diffuser, we can gain free access to the conductors.
Next, you need to prepare the LED strip by cutting it into several parts. Using double-sided tape, install the light bulbs on the Lada lampshade.
The final step is to connect the conductors of the LED strip according to the polarity and install the lampshade in its original position. We check the functionality of the light bulbs.
