Attention! The headlight lamp is halogen. Do not touch its glass bulb, as fingerprints will cause the lamp to darken when heated. You can remove dirt from the flask with a clean rag soaked in alcohol.

Install the new H4 headlight bulb in the reverse order.

Hello everybody! I decided to share my modification of Largus. The orange backlight on the instrument panel has always bothered me. I've read a lot of Logan forums, there are a lot of these topics there. After replacement, the instrument panel began to look like this.


Important - you need to be able to work with a soldering iron at least a little. The procedure itself took 2 hours with smoke breaks. The installation process is not very difficult. The biggest problem was finding the right LEDs. More on this below. Installation itself: Remove the instrument panel. To do this, remove the panel with buttons under the radio, the panel with the air duct on the left, and the protective panel on the right. Everything is latched and can be removed easily. Next, use a Torx 25 screwdriver to unscrew the two screws of the steering column cover, lower the steering wheel down and remove the top cover. Remove the top cover of the instrument panel. It consists of two parts, first remove the top one and then the bottom one. Unscrew the 4 screws of the instrument panel and pull in the panel itself. Here, in theory, you need to turn off the mass, but I ignored this place and did everything for profit. Disconnect two instrument panel connectors. Using a 15 (or 10 – I don’t remember) Torx screwdriver, unscrew the 7 panel screws. Remove the transparent protective glass; it is secured with clips. We pull out the arrows... It’s hard to pull out, I was afraid to break it, but I didn’t break anything. We remove the panel board itself. Here it is important not to lose the conductive rubber band going to the BC display (inserted into the plastic mount). So we got to the board we need. I only changed the LEDs for the scale backlight (to blue) and the BC backlight (to white). The first ones are located at the pins of the indicator motors - 2 pieces on each, the second ones under the on-board computer display - 4 pieces. Remember the location of the negative terminals of the LEDs; this is a terminal with a cut corner. I marked “-” directly on the board with a marker. We unsolder the LEDs and solder new ones in their place. Now about the LEDs. Marking ka-3528, voltage 3.2 V. Can be found in radio parts stores, you can buy LED strip on these diodes in electrical goods stores. Usually the LED brand is in the name. It’s easier to find tape, but they also need to be desoldered from the tape, and they sell tape for at least a meter. The tape should not be filled with polymer; it is very difficult to remove the LED from there without damaging it. There are different colors, depending on what you like. After everything is soldered, we assemble in the reverse order. The arrows are placed like this... They will most likely move when removed. We push the arrow a little, carefully move it down until it locks, and remove it. The tachometer is set to “0”, the speedometer is set lower at the same distance as from the value “20” to the mark below it. Then we check it in test mode. The tachometer goes through all the divisions, the speedometer goes through the divisions like “50” “70” “90”. If, when connecting the power, the arrow goes below zero, it means it was not returned to its place. Carefully remove it and put it in place. Do not press the arrows too hard; they may get caught on the scoreboard itself. We collect everything, check it, enjoy it. PS After installation, one peculiarity became clear. The arrow itself is painted red on the bottom and is illuminated by the same LEDs, and since I chose a blue LED, it does not shine on the red paint... I was thinking about how to do it. There are 2 options - either remove the red paint from the arrow and tint it with a different color, or cover the place where the LEDs illuminate the arrow and put an LED of a different color there. The second is more difficult to implement but will turn out prettier. I'll try both options and report back... Finally got around to writing. I painted the hands with an ordinary paper corrector, having previously removed the red paint with nail polish remover, and this is how it turned out.

it's not worth it

It’s tricky, of course... Judging by the photo, the arrows are poorly illuminated, and they, especially the tachometer for me, should be contrasting. Well, and “goodbye warranty” for electrics? Well, +1 for courage)

With the arrows, the solution is on the way, I can’t choose the time to disassemble the panel again. As for the warranty, I don’t think it will be possible for them to remove all the electrics, the conclusion can be drawn that the circuitry is not damaged, the parts are identical - at most the dashboard itself

Will you also do the rest of the interior lighting (radio, buttons...) in blue or leave it as is?
Kiryukha October 30, 2013 at 07:31 pm +1
I will also remodel the radio in a white and blue version, but the buttons don’t seem to interfere; on the road, only the front panel is in front of my eyes.

I also had to repaint the handbrake lamp.

Yeah, make all the light bulbs white. Or black...

The backlight became “all-Volkswagen”, also not for everybody. But the arrows, for better perception, should be contrasting.

In general, it is easier for the eyes to perceive. I need to try it too.
Shepherd October 30, 2013 at 7:01 pm 0
For me, green is perceived better this way. It is warmer and calmer. However, orange also belongs to warm shades.

Red scatters the least (that's why the Sun is red at sunrise/sunset), and blue is just the opposite (that's why the whole sky is blue).:) That’s why the backlight is made “in the base” redder - so that you can see clearly. If the brightness of the blue is high enough, you will get an analogue of a “welding bunny” - it will hurt your eyes... Although yes, it’s beautiful. If I change mine, I’ll look for more noble “red” colors.

When the warranty ends, they will definitely change the color of the backlight, but only to different colors: red numbers, blue lines (like on the previous car).

You did it nicely. Expensive pleasure?

I ordered ten from China on EBay. Silicone tape 5m + remote control + control unit = about 950 rubles.

Actually, red is not used by chance. My native one is closer to red than to orange, I don’t know if it’s the same for everyone or in batches. In general, the fact is that red lights are no less blinding in the dark. This is due to the least sensitivity of the corresponding retinal cells to wavelengths in the red region of the spectrum. Many professional and specific equipment designed to work in the dark have red displays. For example, a program for advanced amateur telescopes works with star maps in red mode. There is no blinding at all.

Turn the lamp socket clockwise (for the right headlight - counterclockwise) and remove the socket together with the lamp.

Replacing the side light bulb

Before replacing the side light bulb, it is more convenient to first disconnect the wire block from the turn signal lamp socket (see above).

How to make the right choice

To begin with, let us draw your attention to the fact that the low beam bulb on the Lada Largus is a standard H4 halogen. It has two threads inside and performs two functions: it provides both low and high beam. They do not require dismantling or any other parts, so replacement and installation are very simple. The only thing you need is to purchase new lamps in advance, maybe also fuses and other elements, you also need to study the instructions.

We can recommend brands that have proven themselves as reliable manufacturers of high-quality lamps suitable for Lada Largus:

  • Bosh;
  • Osram;
  • Philips;
  • Narva;
  • also Russian, whose products are also perfect for your car. These lamps are cheap, but very high quality.

Buy lamps in special stores so as not to come across a Chinese low-quality fake that will not last long for you.

Read

Light bulbs must have the following properties:

  • brightness – up to 1550 lm;
  • service life – from 2000 to 4000 hours;
  • power – 45-60 W.

Halogen lamps have a yellow glow, but at the moment there is also pseudo-xenon, which glows bluish. But the bluish glow has disadvantages: they are only good in dry weather. When it's raining or foggy, a standard halogen lamp is ideal. It even bypasses xenon and LEDs, although they are stronger. It's just that halogen rays don't have enough penetration.

Changing the lamps in the Lada Largus headlight

Main conclusions

Replacing low beam lamps on the Lada Largus is carried out according to the usual method for most cars. No special preliminary steps are required other than temporarily removing the battery that prevents access to the left headlight. When choosing a replacement lamp, you should carefully study its parameters and select models with the most successful characteristics for a given region or operating conditions. The best option would be models produced by well-known companies; the pursuit of a low price will not live up to expectations and may result in unnecessary expenses.

It is for reasons of safety of drivers and pedestrians that the Traffic Rules and the Technical Regulations on the Safety of Wheeled Vehicles prohibit the operation of vehicles with external lighting devices that do not meet the design requirements of the vehicle.

After all, on the one hand, it is necessary that the car is clearly visible on the road, and on the other hand, it is dangerous to blind other drivers or pedestrians with too bright or incorrectly adjusted headlights. Working brake lights will allow drivers moving behind you to keep a safe distance. There are many such nuances, and everyone can save not only money and nerves, but often also health.
