Rear lights VAZ-2107: rules for operation and maintenance

In the car lighting system, taillights occupy a special place due to their functional purpose and the ability to modify the appearance of the car with the help of tuning. Safety on the road largely depends on the performance of the rear lights, because it is by the light devices located at the rear of the car that the drivers of vehicles walking behind can understand what maneuver the driver of the car in front intends to take. The rear lights of the VAZ 2107 have their own characteristics that must be taken into account during the operation and maintenance of the car.

The device and characteristic malfunctions of the rear lights of the VAZ-2107

Structurally, the rear lamp of the VAZ-2107 car consists of:

  • left and right diffusers;
  • left and right conductors;
  • two lamps with a power of 4 W and two cartridges for them;
  • six lamps with a power of 21 W and six cartridges for them;
  • four nuts M5.

The stop and side lights on the rear light must be red, the turn signal must be orange, the reverse signal must be white. The most typical malfunctions of the rear lights of the VAZ-2107:

  • lack of mass on the lantern;
  • lamp burnout;
  • oxidation of contacts;
  • breakage or chafing of wiring;
  • failure of connector contacts, etc.

no mass

One of the reasons that the rear light does not work may be the lack of mass on it. You can check the integrity of the ground wire visually or by ringing it with a tester. The ground wire in the standard configuration of the VAZ-2107, as a rule, is black, and it occupies the extreme position on the connector block. Following are the wires:

  • brake light (red);
  • marker lights (brown);
  • fog lamps (orange-black);
  • reversing lamps (green);
  • direction indicator (black-blue).

The wires on the connector go in a certain sequence and have their own colors.

Burnt out lamp

The most common malfunction of the rear lights is the burnout of one of the lamps. In this case, you will need:

  1. Remove the plastic plug from the side of the trunk, which is attached with four plastic screws;

Contacts oxidized

Oxidation or clogging of the contacts of the connector block may be the result of insufficiently tight connection, as well as ingress of dust and other small mechanical particles into the headlight due to wear or drying of the rubber seal. It is possible to prevent the processes of oxidation and contamination of contacts through regular preventive inspections and maintenance of all elements of the lighting system.

There are many cars in which the rear lights do not work at all, or work halfway, others do not turn on the turn signals, they drive with the rear fog lights on. I am not one of those riders. I do everything so that it works in my car, as it should be, so that my signals can be seen and not blinded.

Broken wiring

The integrity of the wiring is checked with a multimeter if the location of the break cannot be determined visually. The purpose of each of the wires coming to the connector can be determined by the wiring diagram of the VAZ-2107 electrical equipment.

Connector pin failure

Deterioration of contact in the plug-in connection of the board and the plug can lead to burnout of the track with the impossibility of recovery. In this case, additional wires are soldered between the connector and the cartridge, or a complete replacement of the connector is performed. It should be remembered that the new board may be equipped with a non-spring metal socket, so it makes sense to keep the old socket. When replacing the board, it should be borne in mind that the color of the wires may not match the color on the native pads, so it is better to focus on the order of the contacts, and solder the wires of the new connector to the wires in the bundle one by one.

Wiring diagram

On the board connector, the tracks leading to the cartridges of different lamps are indicated by numbers:

  • 1 - mass;
  • 2 - brake light;
  • 3 - marker lights;
  • 4 - fog lights;
  • 5 - reversing lamp;
  • 6 - direction indicator.

parking lights

Dimensions on the VAZ-2107 are turned on by the leftmost of the four key switches located under the gearbox control lever. This switch is three-position: the side light, along with the license plate light and instrument lighting, is turned on in the second position.

The parking lights are switched on by a three-position switch located under the gearshift lever.

On the fuse box, which is located under the hood of the car near the windshield closer to the passenger seat, the fuses for the rear dimensions are installed under the numbers F14 (8A / 10A) and F15 (8A / 10A). At the same time, fuse F14 is responsible for the operation of the side lights of the left headlight and the right taillight, as well as:

  • a lamp signaling the operation of the dimensions;
  • license plate lights;
  • underhood lamps.

Fuse F15 is installed in the side light circuit of the right front headlight and left rear light, as well as:

  • instrument lighting;
  • cigarette lighter lamps;
  • glove box lighting.

If one of these lamps does not work, make sure fuses F14 and F15 are intact.

Stop signal

The brake light switch is located on the brake pedal suspension bracket.. The brake light is turned on as follows: when you press the brake pedal, the spring in the switch presses the control pin. At the same time, the contacts in the switch close the brake light circuit. When the brake pedal is released, the pin returns to its original position and the brake light goes out.

If the brake lights do not work on the VAZ-2107, you should make sure that the cause of the malfunction is not in the switch. To do this, it is necessary to fold the tips of the supply wires and put a jumper between them: if the brake lights turn on, the switch should be repaired or replaced. To replace the brake light switch, turn it 90 degrees clockwise and remove it from the mount. After installing the new switch, make sure that the neck of the switch fits snugly against the brake pedal and turn it 90 degrees counterclockwise. The adjustment of the new switch occurs automatically when the brake pedal is depressed. The switch works properly if the brake light comes on no earlier than the brake pedal has been moved 5 mm, but no later than it is depressed 20 mm.

The F11 fuse is installed in the brake light circuit, which, in addition, is responsible for the operation of the internal body lighting.

Some owners of the VAZ-2107 install an additional brake light so that the signals given by the driver are more visible on the road. Such a brake light is usually located on the rear window inside the cabin and works on LEDs.

Reversing light

A reversing light is not mandatory, however, its use can significantly increase the safety of the car. This light device is activated when reverse gear is engaged and performs the following functions:

  • lighting a section of the road and objects located behind the car when reversing at night;
  • informing other road users that the car is moving in reverse.

The principle of operation of the reversing lamp is based on the closure of the electrical circuit to which the reversing lamps are connected, when the ignition is turned on and the reverse gear is turned on. The closure occurs with the help of the so-called "frog" installed at the checkpoint.

The F1 fuse is connected to the reversing lamp circuit, which is also responsible for the heater motor, rear window wiper and washer.

Rear fog lights

You can turn on the rear fog lights of the VAZ-2107 with the third button on the left of the four located under the gearshift control lever. It should be remembered that the fog light turns on only when the low beam headlights are on. The F9 fuse is connected to the fog lamp circuit.

Tuning rear lights VAZ-2107

You can add exclusivity to your “seven” using one of the taillight tuning options available today. You can modify the rear lights using:

  • use of LEDs;
  • applying a tint layer;
  • installation of alternative lights.

Lights are tinted with a film or a special varnish. In contrast to the tinting of the headlights, for which you can get a fine, the traffic police in this case, as a rule, do not have any questions about the rear lights. The main thing is that the color of all signals must comply with the requirements of the traffic police: the dimensions and brake lights must be red, the direction indicators must be orange, and the reversing lamp must be white.

I don’t know how anyone has it - but my question rested on the reflector - it clearly interferes with this device! I advise you to try it on an old rear light, using plexiglass instead of the stock one! That is, the glass of the taillight is replaced with a glass - but here the LEDs are already asking for the horseshoes, and the feet, and the size - everything is done experimentally!

The use of LEDs allows:

On a cheap LED strip, points that are barely visible during the day will definitely turn out, there is nothing to dispute here. If you buy expensive good modules, it will still be comparable to the drain in terms of brightness, but it will be very expensive in terms of money.

Instead of the basic taillights of the VAZ-2107, tuning enthusiasts, as a rule, install:

Illumination of the VAZ-2107 number

To illuminate the license plate in VAZ-2107 cars, lamps of the AC12–5-1 (C5W) type are used. The backlight of the number is switched on by the switch of external lighting - the first button on the left under the gear lever. To replace the license plate light, you need to lift the trunk lid, unscrew the two screws holding the backlight with a Phillips screwdriver and remove the cover from the light housing, then replace the light bulb.

The rear lights of the VAZ-2107 car are a key element of the lighting system and perform a number of functions related to vehicle safety. Proper operation and timely maintenance will extend the life of the rear lights and ensure a comfortable and trouble-free driving. You can give your car a more up-to-date appearance by tuning lighting fixtures, including taillights.
