All cars VAZ 2114 is equipped with a front headlight units, equipped with a corrector direction of illumination. Problems with low beam most often associated with reasons to eliminate that you can own.

The fault lamp and its replacement



In the car installed a halogen bulb with two filaments arranged in a single housing. One of them is responsible for the high beam and one for dipped beam. To ensure that the reason for the absence of light lies in the lamp, enough to swap it for a known good. To do this, under the hood, locate the cover for the headlight Assembly. Turn it clockwise to open. Then see the three-prong connector that must be removed. It now remains to remove the bulb by pushing aside the spring clips. Don't forget that the new lighting element cannot be taken in the glass - traces of fat will worsen the heat transfer, and the lamp will quickly fail. So take it for contacts, insert into the slots and slide the spring clips and close the cover by rotating counterclockwise. When replacing the lamp, pay attention to the pins in the connector - they must not be oxidized.


Irregularities in the fuse, wires and switch



Another equally common cause is a blown fuse. It is in the corresponding block located under the hood on the left side (in the direction of the car) closer to the windshield. Open the black cover and locate the fuse in ВАЗ2114 F12 (right headlight) and F13 (left headlight). Both fuse at 7.5 amps. To ensure their integrity, turn details to light: you have to see the whole thread. In their absence the fuse (s) need to be replaced. If these elements are integers, and the light is still there, makes sense along the way to check the relay; it is marked as K9. Need to pull it out and put a known good part to check you can use the high beam relay K8).

Poorly connected or oxidized wires can also cause the lack of light. To make sure that the wiring is OK, you can disconnect the pads and look at internal contacts: they must be green patina. By the way, the bad or oxidised contact can cause permanent the fuse blows (same problem causing the short in the wire). Least likely is not lit dim light due to faulty push button switch. It can be simply pull out and replace with a known good.
