The Lada Priora car has different options for tuning headlights. This could be: replacing the substrate with a different color, due to which the Priora headlights will acquire a new tinted color. Installation of lenses. Painting or decorating with eyelashes. Tuning headlights on a Priora is not just decoration. Good optics will illuminate the road so that at night visibility conditions will be much better. People complain about the Lada Priora family that the standard one is “dim.” Owners take care of the optics so that the front headlights shine well, and the rear ones look beautiful, but are safe - after all, these are brake lights.
Tuning headlights on a Priora with your own hands is not a fairy tale. You can change the optics on your car yourself without contacting a service center. For example, installed LEDs in the angel eyes style will highlight the elements of the car, and this operation is no more difficult than assembling a construction set.
A good solution for the Priora is to install a brighter lamp and be sure to adjust it. Previously, it was “customary” to completely change the headlight unit, which changed the appearance of the car very much. Tuning the front and rear lights on a Priora is not so complicated, but it will create its own highlight for your favorite car.
You should know moderation in everything - if the desire is too strong, car owners neglect the technical inspection standards, and therefore the lighting fixtures either become dimmer or become so bright that they blind other road users, and this is, at the very least, impolite.

Cilia
Tuning Priora headlights, for many, ends precisely at the “eyelashes”. These are ordinary covers that follow the shape of the top of the headlight and are painted in body color. They are sold ready-made in auto parts stores, but eyelashes can be made. They can be made from a piece of vinyl film, the shape of which will have to be changed in order to be applied to the headlight - this is done with a soap solution (in the same way as with applying tint). The trims from the store are attached to the body either with sealant or double-sided tape. Remember that eyelashes limit the height of the illuminated space. In addition to them, there are other worthy ideas for tuning the Lada Priora.
Possible tuning options
Tuning headlights for Lada Priora
Among the wide variety, we can highlight the following basic options for installing headlight cilia on a Priora, which you can make yourself or purchase:
- vinyl eyelashes for headlights;
- eyelashes made of fiberglass material;
- polyvinyl chloride linings;
- ready-made kits.
Before you make your choice, you should think about whether it’s worth trying such a cosmetic operation while installing tuned headlights. Among the most current options for such a replacement is the installation of a set of Priora headlights with separate round lamps for low and high beam.
This headlight unit has a thin LED strip of running lights. Despite the relatively high cost of tuned headlights, by installing them, the car owner can remain calm when passing a technical inspection.
A popular option for installing headlights on a Priora is the method where lensed devices are installed in a black housing, where bihalogen lenses are used. In such a headlight, switching the light from high to low is carried out due to the installed curtain. Halogen side lights are also used here, and the direction indicators are made in the form of LED lamps.
Installing lensed headlights
Installing lenses will change the illumination - after the modification, there will be no standard optics left inside the unit. First of all, a reflector will appear that will redirect the light rays forward into the space in front of the car. Instead of standard light bulbs, optics with lenses are installed, which creates a spectacular glow.
This option is considered the most expensive, and the effect will be noticeable. Separately, you can change the color of the substrates if you can’t spend money on optics.
How to install angel eyes
Angel eyes on the Priora are LEDs that are installed inside the front unit, along the perimeter of the lenses and in the rear light. To do this you need to purchase:
- Electric wire of moon-white color. Type SH; diameter 2.6 mm;
- Receiver (Operating voltage – 12 Volts).
After everything is ready, you can begin active actions:
- Raise the hood, remove the battery (this will make it easier to work).
- Dismantle the block, remove the substrates.
- First secure the wires in place with tape (lightly) or clothespins - this is done to fix their position. Then fix them with epoxy resin.
- Wait for the resin to dry, secure the substrates and seal all the gaps with sealant so that the glass does not fog up. We carry out the installation.

How to tint the rear brake lights of a Priora with film
Tinting the rear stops of a Priora should not completely “muffle” the light of the headlamp. A good form and manifestation of a sense of style would be “light” tinting of the rear light glasses. It is easier to do it with film, and you do not need to remove the feet for this.
The film is applied on top. It needs to be thoroughly cleaned of dirt and then sprayed with clean water. Cover with film and heat it with a hairdryer. The film should last a long time, after which it will have to be re-glued.
Painting headlights
Tuning the front and rear lights on a Priora is not limited to increasing the aperture ratio. They can be tinted. But this does not mean that you need to paint the glass - the light will simply become cloudy. The tinting effect is obtained due to a change in the color of the substrate. This is done using high temperature paint.
This is done in the following order:
- The entire block is removed and the backing is removed;
- Wipe off the chrome from the substrate (zero polish will help). Cover the substrate with two or three layers of primer and wait about an hour;
- Apply 4-5 layers of paint over the primer, wait for each layer to dry;
- Assemble the block lights, close all the cracks to prevent fogging;
- After painting, all that remains is to adjust them. The main thing is that the light is not too dim and does not cause inconvenience when driving.
Adjustment after any modification of the optics is performed as follows:
- Place the car at a distance of 5 m from a flat wall (for example, opposite the garage);
- Set the adjusting screws under the hood to “0”. Put a person of similar height behind the wheel;
- The headlights are adjusted one by one; while one is being adjusted, the second one is closed;
- The clear edge of the light should be 10 mm below the top edge of the headlight.
Adjustment is not a useless requirement of technical inspection standards. This must be done for comfortable driving at night - you won’t need to peer and look for obstacles on the road, they will be illuminated if adjusted correctly.
What can you expect from the installation?
It should be immediately noted that, unlike the deflector on the hood, the eyelashes on the headlights do not serve such a large functional purpose. The main function here will be to transform the appearance of the car. Pay attention to the photo of the car (Fig. 1). The owner can emphasize the style that he strives to give to his car.
An additional result after performing such an easy tuning can be considered the elimination of the wide gap between the headlight and the hood. If the owner is preparing to install headlight covers, then there are two issues to consider that need to be addressed simultaneously during installation:
- additional elements must be securely fastened;
- After installation, the functionality of the headlights should not be affected.
Using this design technique, you can give your car an individual character and even special energy. As a rule, men try to give their car a somewhat predatory, aggressive squint by making the tuned headlights slightly slanted. Women, on the contrary, by creating curved, slightly elongated eyelashes, strive to give the car a shy, sometimes flirtatious look.
Very often, Lada Priora car owners do not limit themselves only to highlighting the headlights . Particularly popular is the simultaneous replacement of the headlight lens, which is designed to work with xenon lamps. If you approach making certain changes from the front part of the car, it is important to take into account that regardless of the work carried out, be it tuned headlights or easy adjustment of Priora headlights, their functionality must be preserved.
Installation of LED DRLs
LEDs for replacing daytime running light bulbs must comply with GOST. They provide excellent light during daylight hours, and if connected correctly, light up when the ignition is turned on.
The connection is made through a five-pin relay; plastic corrugations can be used to insulate the wires. Each LED block will have a black and a red wire coming from it. It is advisable to connect the black one to the windshield wiper fuse F11 (20), and the red one to the left side light fuse F14(5).
The use of LED DRLs instead of factory ones after the first week will change the Priora owner’s view of his own car. Such a small part can cost about 500 rubles for two lights, but its appearance on the road will be noticeable to everyone.
