Headlights
On Lada Priora cars, block headlights are used that combine low beam and high beam headlights (with single filament lamps), as well as direction indicators. In addition, in the headlights there are side light lamps. The dipped beam is switched on by the outdoor lighting switch, the high beam is switched on by the headlight switch using a relay located in the mounting block. Control voltage is applied to the high beam relay coils from the headlight switch when the headlight switch is in the headlight on position. Regardless of the position of the exterior light switch, you can turn on the high beam headlights briefly by moving the headlight switch lever towards you.
The headlights of Lada Priora cars are equipped with an electric headlight corrector, which allows you to adjust the height of the direction of the headlight beams from the driver's seat, depending on the degree of vehicle loading.

Rear fog light
Fog lamps in the rear lights are switched on by a switch in the control unit through the control unit of the car anti-theft system (APS-6) only if the headlights are on. When the side light is turned off, the rear fog light turns off automatically.
Fog lights
Fog lamps can be installed in the front bumper of cars in a variant version. They can only be switched on if the outdoor lighting switch is turned on with the outdoor lighting.
Outdoor Lighting
The side light is switched on by the outdoor lighting switch (in the side light switch-on position).
Direction indicators
Indicators of the right or left turn turn on the steering column switch.
In alarm mode, the alarm switch turns on all direction indicators. The flashing of the lamps is provided by a relay-breaker in the power pack controller.
Note. 1. If the headlights suddenly began to burn dimly, and when the turn signal is turned on, the side light lamp starts flashing, restore contact «mass» body wires.
Note. 2. Get in the habit of changing bulbs regularly (especially the headlights). Over time, the bulb of the lamp becomes cloudy, the brightness of the lamp decreases. Moreover, this process is rather slow, so the driver does not notice the gradual deterioration of road illumination.
Note. 3. Lately there are more and more cars whose headlights shine like a Christmas tree in various shades of blue. All this is called the word «xenon» and is considered very cool. No doubt, xenon headlights, installed as standard on the latest models of foreign cars, illuminate the road much better, and the car looks much more impressive with them. It is not surprising that many are also trying to improve their car, especially since now a lot of «xenon» lamps of various manufactures (most often Chinese). Do not buy cheap - such lamps have nothing to do with real xenon discharge lamps without incandescent filaments. These are ordinary lamps with stained glass. The light transmission of such glass is much lower than that of standard lamps, the threads of fakes are usually not installed in focus, and a headlight with such a lamp, with external showiness, practically does not illuminate anything, and additionally mercilessly blinds oncoming drivers. In addition, manufacturers of such lamps, in order to compensate for the decrease in luminous flux, increase their power beyond the norm. Often the installation of fakes leads to melting of the insulation of wires and connecting blocks. And a fire is also possible. Better not buy with your money «headache», and buy ordinary lamps of good quality.
