Headlights
Lada Priora cars use block headlights that combine low and high beam headlights (with single-filament lamps), as well as direction indicators. In addition, the headlights contain parking light bulbs. The low beam headlights are switched on by the exterior lighting switch, the high beam headlights are switched on by the headlight switch using a relay located in the mounting block. The control voltage is supplied to the windings of the high beam headlight relay from the headlight switch if the exterior lighting switch is in the headlight on position. Regardless of the position of the exterior lighting switch, you can briefly turn on the high beam headlights by moving the headlight switch lever towards you.
The headlights of Lada Priora cars are equipped with an electric headlight beam corrector, which allows the driver to adjust the height of the direction of the headlight beams depending on the vehicle's load level.

Rear fog light
The fog lamps in the rear lights are switched on by a switch in the control unit through the vehicle anti-theft system control unit (APS-6) only if the headlights are on. When the parking light is turned off, the rear fog light is turned off automatically.
Fog lights
Fog lights can be installed in the front bumper of the vehicles as an option. They can only be turned on if the outside lighting is turned on with the outside light switch.
Outdoor lighting
The side lights are switched on using the exterior lighting switch (in the position of the side light).
Direction indicators
The right or left turn signals are switched on using the steering column switch.
In hazard warning mode, the hazard warning switch turns on all direction indicators. The flashing of the lamps is provided by a relay-breaker in the electrical package controller.
Note: 1. If the headlights suddenly start to burn dimly, and the parking light starts to flash when the turn signal is turned on, restore the contact of the ground wire with the body.
Note: 2. Make it a habit to change your light bulbs regularly (especially headlights). Over time, the lamp bulb becomes cloudy and the brightness of the lamp decreases. Moreover, this process occurs quite slowly, so the driver does not notice the gradual deterioration of road illumination.
Note: 3. Recently, more and more cars have appeared whose headlights shine like a Christmas tree, in various shades of blue. All this is called "xenon" and is considered very cool. There is no dispute that xenon headlights, installed as standard on the latest models of foreign cars, illuminate the road much better, and the car with them looks much more impressive. It is not surprising that many people are also trying to improve their cars, especially since there are now a lot of "xenon" lamps of various manufactures on the shelves (most often Chinese). Don't be fooled by the cheap stuff - these bulbs have nothing in common with real xenon gas discharge bulbs without filaments. These are regular lamps with painted glass. The light transmittance of such glass is significantly lower than that of standard lamps, the filaments of fakes are usually installed out of focus, and a headlight with such a lamp, despite its external effectiveness, 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 counterfeits leads to melting of the insulation of wires and connecting blocks. And a fire is also possible. It is better not to buy a "headache" with your money, but buy regular lamps of good quality.
