DIY connection diagram for fog lights on Kalina • Auto electrician himself

Hello everyone, today I would like to show you how to turn on the fog lights on a Lada Kalina car. In order to turn on the rear fog lights, you need to press the button located in the headlight control unit. After switching on, the orange light on the button lights up. And the rear dimensions begin to glow brighter. But remember, rear fog lights need to be used in poor visibility conditions; during normal times, they blind the cars driving behind you.

The front fog lights on Kalina are turned on using a button located on the right of the center console.

Well, that's all you have learned how to turn on the fog lights on Kalina bye everyone.

What to have on hand

To carry out the work, we will arm ourselves with the following items:

1. keys 8 and 10;
2. flat and Phillips screwdrivers;
3. a 6-sided key that regulates the spread of light;
4. electrical tape, wire cutters, pliers (possibly a soldering iron);
5. ties for fastening the wiring and a piece of strong steel wire;
6. actually, headlights;
7. The most important thing you will need for repairs is a kit for connecting fog lights to Kalina.

Button, relay and wires with connectors
Although the plugs included in the package are usually black, you can paint them to match the body color whenever you wish. High-quality fog lights are usually equipped with Philips bulbs that are quite good in their characteristics.

The kit, which includes a button for turning on Kalina's fog lights, as well as wires, connectors and connectors, and a turn-on relay will need to be purchased separately. However, if your car has an air conditioner, then the space for the button is automatically occupied.

Tip: In this case, purchase a rectangular button separately and install it in the corresponding hole next to the cigarette lighter.

Parts for installation in the front bumper

Preparing for work

Before going to an auto parts store and choosing fog lights (FFL), car owners should know that the procedure for installing them is regulated by the Road Traffic Rules.

In particular, the installation of PTF on a car must be carried out in places specified by the car manufacturer.

In relation to AvtoVAZ wiring products, the connection diagram for fog lights on Kalina implies their installation in the front bumper:

1. For this purpose, it has special places covered with plastic plugs;
2. The package of purchased headlights must have all the necessary elements for proper connection (wiring, terminal blocks, power button, fuse and relay).

A wide variety of foglights for cars amazes the imagination with their appearance and shapes:

1. Round;
2. Oval;
3. Square;
4. Twin;
5. Recessed;
6. For outdoor installation, etc.

Not all PTFs are suitable for Lada Kalina, which forces owners to redo the mount themselves

However, only a few PTFs produced by different manufacturers are suitable for Lada Kalina.

In particular, these are:

• Bosch products, characterized by flat glass headlights and sold only in pairs;
• Fog lamps “Kirzhach” with lens-shaped (convex) glass;
• Fog lights “Luch” are an analogue of German products. The price is lower, but so is the quality;
• Products of Chinese companies under the ProSport brand.

Note! This list is not an expert list. Simply, the products of the listed companies are installed in the standard places of the Lada Kalina without any additional modifications. And the complete set of kits is selected exclusively for this AvtoVAZ model.

The headlight kit includes:

1. Fastening frames.
2. The headlights themselves (2 pcs).
3. Bolts.
4. Wires with connectors at the ends.
5. Relay.
6. On/off button.
7. Connectors with which wires are connected.
8. Self-tapping screws.
9. Installation instructions.

The kit also includes a corrugation in which you can hide the wires. It will protect them from damage and negative external influences. The relay is installed in its standard location on the mounting block. It is marked 1119.

The mounting frames can be additionally repainted in any color. You can also immediately buy frames in the desired color. There are many colors of Kalina, but the frame companies also produce frames in all colors.

How can I install

There are 2 ways to install fog lights on a Lada Kalina car:

1. Without removing the front bumper;
2. With bumper removed.

Advice! If you do not have sufficient skills in working with plastic parts, then it is better to completely remove the bumper. In this way you will protect it from breaking off latches and fasteners due to negligence.

The factory instructions provide detailed information on all mounting points for the front bumper

How to install a set of fog lights with your own hands (diagram)

To save time on dismantling the bumper, we will show you how to replace it without removing it.

1. When installing the right headlight, turn the steering wheel as far as possible in this direction - this increases the working space.
2. Remove the front mudguard.

   Turn the steering wheel to the right and remove the shield

3. From the inside, we open the latches that secure the old PTF or plugs.
4. We remove the plug.
5. We fix the new headlight from the inside with 3 self-tapping screws.

This completes the installation of the optics. Now we connect the headlights using the pre-purchased installation kit.

How to adjust the light output

After installing new headlights or removing the front bumper, the car owner needs to adjust the light output.

The fact is that fog lights have a completely different principle of illuminating the road surface:

1. PTFs have a clear upper boundary (cut);
2. This is due to the physical properties of fog.

For reference: the whole point is that drops of moisture literally hang above the road, but do not touch the road surface. It is in this narrow space that the fog lights shine. If the luminous flux is higher, the light will be reflected in the drops like in a mirror and blind the driver.

The best solution to the problem would be to visit service stations that have special adjustment stands designed for any car model. But if this is not possible, or the fog light on Kalina was replaced and removed from its original location, then you can do this operation yourself.

The algorithm will be as follows:

1. Place the car 3 meters from a blank wall (residential building, garage);
2. Check the tire pressure and bring it to factory settings;
3. Using chalk and a ruler, mark two vertical lines on the wall opposite each wheel;
4. Measure the distance from the ground to your car's headlights. This will be the parameter – h;
5. Draw a horizontal line on the wall at the calculated height;
6. Turn on the fog lights and cover one of them with a cloth or newspaper;
7. Use the adjusting screw to set the luminous flux;
8. Repeat the operation for the other headlight.

That's it, the work is finished, and the best part is that the price of the work is minimal.

Which headlights to choose

Factory technology provides for the installation of headlights in a luxury configuration. Indeed, today such products are produced by many manufacturers, large and small.

Advice: it is better to opt for products that are made in Ryazan and Kirzhach. They still have a longer service life compared to their Chinese counterparts.

If you want to install fog lights with your own hands, you will need a wiring diagram for fog lights on Kalina.

We will delight car enthusiasts with the fact that there is no need to cut or drill the bumper. You simply remove the protective caps and the covers are designed to fit into the cutouts on the bumper.

Standard fog lights are equipped with an H11 type cartridge. Therefore, the entire installation will involve dismantling the front bumper, after which it will be necessary to pull the wiring in the car from the headlights into the interior. Install the headlight switch button and connect the power.

Which PTF is better to install?

Manufacturers offer different sets of optics in terms of price and quality. It is worth noting the most suitable options for Kalina:

1. Bosch optics have flat glass and are sold in a set of 2 devices. Has high build quality and long service life.
2. Kirzhach headlights can be purchased one at a time - they use convex glass in the shape of a lens.
3. Luch foglights are of good quality, but the design does not include a fogging valve.
4. ProSport headlights, despite the manufacturing country of China, are of good quality at a low price.

Advice: It is worth noting that domestic manufacturers are practically not inferior in quality to foreign companies. They also offer a good warranty on their devices.

Main design options and criteria affecting quality

The following types of products can be found in the retail chain:

• Products under the Bosch brand are always sold as a set (2 pieces) and are distinguished by fairly durable glass and good quality luminous flux. We can say that this is the most reliable option, but its price is noticeably higher than all other analogues.
• Production PTFs are in many ways similar to those described above, but in fact their quality is noticeably inferior to the first option. The only advantage is lower cost.
• Kirzhach fog lights on Kalina have lens-shaped convex glass, which allows you to concentrate the light flux and direct it exactly where it is required. Quite a good and reliable solution.
• Products under the ProSport brand and other similar brands are produced by Chinese factories. It is difficult to judge their reliability and quality, since one option can be excellent, while the second one will fail in a very short time.

Installation of electrical components

More technically complex is the operation of installing and integrating electrical components into standard wiring.

To successfully complete the work, the owner must solve the following tasks:

1. Correctly connect the PTF to the fuse block;
2. Install a button for activating fog lights in the car interior.

Original wiring diagram for fog lights on Kalina
If you use the wiring and the attached electrical diagram from the PTF kit, the connection will be reduced to:

1. Installing a fuse in the block;
2. A relay responsible for the operation of the power button is also installed there;
3. Connecting the fog lights themselves and the standard electrical wiring into a single electrical network;
4. Outputting control of their work to a button.

The photo shows a proprietary set of electronic components that does not require modifications. It is easy to connect to the standard electrical wiring system

Readiness of electrical equipment

The electrical wiring on the Lada Kalina met modern requirements.

Already in the basic version:

• double-filament fog lamps were installed in the rear headlight units;
• the electrical circuit included relays and fuses (see also the article VAZ wiring: the need for modernization).

The diagram roughly shows:

1. PTF circuit fuse (F9 according to international classification);
2. Electronic immobilizer (anti-theft system);
3. Rear headlights with PTF sections;
4. Vehicle lighting control unit (installed on the instrument panel);
5. Egnition lock.

For reference: In the photo, the symbol “A” indicates the wire from the power source. “Mass” is indicated in black.

If there is no wiring for fog lights, then look for a wiring kit for PTF from Kalina or Priora (price 400 rubles), but keep in mind that this kit does not have enough wire length; the control wire from the button will have to be pulled to the relay through a plug above the gas pedal. Or we find wiring with a cross-section of at least 0.75 sq. mm.

To route the headlight wiring from the engine compartment to the passenger compartment, you will need to remove the front left wheel and plastic fender liners (lockers). Using a wire, we drag the wires from the passenger compartment, above the clutch pedal.

You can install the PTF button:

1. In the tunnel between the seats (how to remove the Kalina tunnel). The PTF button from the VAZ 2115 is used here.
2. On the panel, if the Kalina equipment is without air conditioning, then instead of the air conditioning button.
3. In the external lighting control unit or, in other words, the light control module (LCM).

The diagram of Kalina fog lights according to the first and second options is as follows: One more relay in the last diagram will not allow the PTF to burn after the ignition is turned off. Kalina foglight diagram using the third method:

So that when the headlights are turned on, the PTFs do not light up when the engine is turned off, you need to connect contact No. 30 of relay K9 (“from the battery”) to the wire that comes out of the MUS contact: “Xz”.

Partial pinout of MUS contacts:

• Contact 1 - to the CPTO
• Contact 2 - control button
• Contact 3 - indicator (LED) of PTF status (on or off);
• Contact 4 - PTF relay enable pin
• Contact 30 - 12V (constant coming from the battery)
• Contact 31 - General minus (ground).
• Contact 56 - To low and high beam headlights.
• Contact 58 - To side lights.
• Contact 58b is an output (regulated voltage) for the illumination of knobs, buttons and instrument panel.
• Contact XZ - ( ) from ignition switch

Just remember to adjust the PTF (adjustment circuit).

PTF button installation

The button for turning on Kalina's fog lights can be installed at the request of the car owner:

1. On the tunnel between the seats;
2. On the instrument panel for Kalina equipment without air conditioning (installed instead of the air conditioning button);
3. In the external lighting control unit.

The light control module (LCM) of the Lada Kalina car has a fog lamp button, which is responsible for the operation of the rear lights. The fuse box is also hidden behind it.

The most difficult option for connecting a button will be connecting it to an existing one in the ICC. To do this, you will have to cut into the wiring harness and isolate the connection. (see also the article Wiring VAZ 2114: differences from its predecessor)

Under No. 4 in the photo there is a button to activate the PTF operation

Less difficult to install would be options with connecting and outputting a button near the cigarette lighter on the tunnel, or with installing a button in a socket on the instrument panel provided for turning on the air conditioner (in versions without it).

Connecting PTF to car wiring

Connection diagram of PTF to electrics on Lada Kalina

Initially, the wires must be connected to the headlights themselves. The “mass” is also screwed to the car body. “Plus” is connected to the battery according to the diagram. The wires are pulled through the engine compartment to the passenger compartment.

We pull the wiring into the salon

This must be done along the left wing, where the standard fastenings for the wires are located. Before doing this, you need to remove the fender liner to make work easier.

We will infiltrate here

Connecting fog lights

First of all, the wiring harness is carried out under the hood and connected using the supplied connectors to the left and right headlights. The “mass” is fixed to the body. “Plus” is connected to the battery terminal according to the diagram supplied by the manufacturer (one of them is shown in the photo below).

Next, the harness, which is located under the hood, is pulled into the cabin. It is better and more convenient to do this along the standard wiring harness, which is located in the left wing. It is more convenient to do this if you first remove the fender liner. Further all work will be carried out in the salon. The ashtray needs to be removed. To do this, remove four screws. The button covers are pushed through the opening.

There are two more screws under these plugs. They hold the trim on the instrument panel. Then remove the temperature control knobs. They can be easily removed by pulling them towards you. Next, carefully move the cover on the panel and at the same time push out the plug for the air conditioner button. A button that controls the fog lights will be installed in place of the plug.

Sequence of work

So, below are detailed instructions, using which you can easily equip your pet with fog lights:

• as in a number of other electrical works, our actions begin by disconnecting the power from the battery (minus terminal);
• Now you can start dismantling the bumper. We need to unscrew the screws and remove the black plastic grilles. It may be necessary to remove the license plate;

We begin work on installing the PTF

• the grilles and bumper are attached with screws and self-tapping screws - you can feel them with your hands, even without a hole. When you remove the bumper, you will see that the mounting points are indicated by arrows. This will allow such work to be completed much faster in the future;
• the wheel arches additionally hold the bumper with 3 self-tapping screws - do not forget to unscrew them as well;
• Now you can carefully begin to remove the sides of the bumper from under the arches, using rocking movements, and remove it entirely. Bend the plugs using a flat-head screwdriver;
• The fog lights themselves are attached to three screws each;
• now we need to extend the wiring into the cabin (as the video in this article shows). Many people recommend removing the driver's wheel and arch protection at this point;
• where the clutch pedal is located, we will find the place where the wires are collected in a bundle and push the seal outward;
• Now you can stretch the wiring using rigid steel wire. The idea is to tighten the wiring from the interior into the space under the hood. You can immediately provide wiring for connecting LED parking lights, alarms, remote hood opening and everything else that has not yet been installed;

PTF assembly

• Our new wire blocks will go along with the factory ones, after which they can be tied together with plastic ties like clamps. If there is a need, a wiring diagram for fog lights on Kalina can help with this;

Installation instructions

Here we consider a step-by-step algorithm of actions that will be required for execution so that the entire procedure is completed successfully.

1. First we remove the LADA Kalina bumper. To do this, unscrew the entire list of fastening components.

The screws are located on:

• lower bumper panel along the perimeter;
• in the wheel arches.

Now we remove the sidewalls of the element from the arched openings and completely remove the bumper from the car.

2. Next, remove the plugs by bending their latches. Here we use a flat screwdriver.

3. Unscrew the screws securing the fog lights. Each of the products is secured by three such fastening components.

4. We move inside the Lada Kalina salon. In the area of ​​the pedal assembly we find a wiring harness. At this point we push out the sealing element and use a metal wire to pull out the wiring relating to the power supply to the fog lights. These cables are located next to the main trunk harness.

5. We connect the PTF wiring with the main wires.

6. Now we position and fix the power cables for the fog optics so that it is as convenient as possible to remove the connectors from the device terminals.

7. We attach the negative terminals to the screws of the LADA Kalina body.

8. The power consumed by anti-fog optics reaches 110 W, so we connect these devices using a relay with a button.

9. The button itself can be installed directly on the panel in the cabin, for example, next to the cigarette lighter.

10. To provide the lighting components with supply voltage, you will need to connect the pink wire to the relay. It is located in the safety block.

11. To protect the circuit of the headlights we are considering, you will need to use a fuse link with a rating of 15 A.

Installation of fog lights

First you need to purchase a set of PTF (2 headlights, 2 frames) and a kit for installing PTF (PTF relay, power button, wires, screws, connectors and instructions).

In addition you will need:

• Phillips and flathead screwdrivers;
• wrench for 8 and 10;
• forceps;
• insulating tape;
• nylon ties.

Universal step-by-step instructions for installing PTF on a Lada:

1. Unscrew the fastening parts and pull off the bumper.

2. Bend the latches with a flat-head screwdriver and remove the plugs. Attach each fog light with 3 self-tapping screws.

3. Inside the car, under the clutch pedal, push out the seal and pull out the PTF wires.
4. Add the PTF wires to the main ones, tighten the remaining wires with ties.
5. We attach the negative terminals to the bolts on the car body.
6. Install the control button with the relay on the dashboard, connect the pink wire from the fuse box to the relay.
7. The fuse should be 15 A. We connect the power contacts of relays 30 and 87 to it and the PTF wires.
8. Check that the installation is correct and turn on the headlights using the button. If everything is done correctly, the headlights are on.

9. Carefully assemble the bumper so as not to snag the wires and lose parts. Recheck the functionality of the lighting system.

Features of installation and configuration

As noted above, you can install Lada Kalina fog lights with your own hands; this does not require special equipment and devices, everything is very simple.

Installation

We will consider the option of removing the bumper, as it is easier for novice craftsmen. In the future, if you suddenly need to replace the fog light on Kalina, you can do it without removing the bumper, since you will know how the element is attached and how it is connected.

In general, the installation instructions look like this:

• First, the bumper fastenings are unscrewed; all fastening points can be found in the instruction manual; the screws are located both along the grille and under the arches. To free the structure, the side parts are slightly removed from under the arches .

To remove the bumper fasteners, remove the latches securing the grille (green arrows)

• Next, using a flat screwdriver, the plugs are removed from the structure, after which you can attach the headlights themselves, which are most often framed according to the size of the hole. Fastening will not cause any difficulties, this is done using three self-tapping screws, the main thing is to do everything carefully so that the structure stands level and is fixed as firmly and reliably as possible.
• The next step is laying the wiring harness that comes with the kit. This is done from the interior: first, the carpet is removed, and in the area of ​​the clutch pedal you can find a large bundle of wiring and a plug. The plug is pressed to clear the hole, after which the harness is tied to a piece of wire and pulled under the hood, the photo shows where the plug is located.

Finding a place to lay the wires under the hood is not difficult.

• Using plastic clamps, the wires are attached to the main bundle, after which the harness is pulled along the left side and along the front bumper so that the connection points are located near the location of the PTF. It is important that the wires are secured and not dangling.
• After laying the wiring in the car, you can connect the fog lights using connectors, and the negative wires are screwed to the nearest bolts on the car body.

Important! Don’t rush to screw the bumper on; if something is done wrong, you won’t have to disassemble the structure again.

• The system operates through a relay, which is best installed under the panel, and do not forget to securely fix the structure. Power is supplied through the pink wire from the fuse box, the fuse capacity should be 15A.
• To connect the PTF, pins 30 and 87 are used; all connections must be equipped with terminals to ensure the best contact.
