The vehicle's side lights must be in good working order for it to drive safely on the road. But not every driver changes burned-out lamps immediately. This is usually done when visiting a service station, and before that you can travel more than one hundred kilometers without working lamps. Let's figure out how to replace the parking light bulb on some domestic cars and foreign cars. Often the work is carried out according to a similar principle, but there are also minor differences.
General information
To indicate the car in the dark, while parking, the design provides marker lights. They are both in front and behind the car. Usually these are low power lamps, which, unlike the head light, are not in the focus of the reflector. For this simple reason, install more powerful halogen or LED lamp doesn't make sense. Moreover, this can lead to melting of wiring that is not designed for such a large load.
As for the reasons for the failure of side lights, there are several of them. First, the limited resource of the light bulb. The original shines longer and better, but it is more expensive. Chinese counterparts are cheap, but very often burn out. Another reason is a malfunction in the electrical circuit, as well as leaks in the headlight, which causes moisture to get inside the case. Well, now let's figure out how to replace the parking light bulb on the Kalina.
From simple to complex
The first step is to determine the type of lamps to be installed. Everything is pretty simple here. Baseless lamps of the 5W5 type are installed on Kalina, which are widespread, so they can be found in any car shop. During replacement, it is advisable to disconnect the negative terminal of the battery. This is necessary for security, although many do not.
The next step is to remove the protective casing of the headlight opposite the section responsible for the high beam. Next we see a yellow cartridge that needs to be dismantled. The main difficulty lies in the fact that it is located in an inconvenient place. By the way, if the lamp has not changed for a long time, it will take an impressive effort to remove it. To make the task easier, you can remove the high beam chip. This will give you extra space. Next, we try to remove the cartridge from the seat. Please note that its body is plastic, so the use of pliers is not recommended. After that, we remove the lamp from the cartridge and install a new one. Assembly is carried out in the reverse order.

Now let's look at the replacement process using the example of the rear headlight unit. There is nothing complicated here, but there are several important details that are worth paying attention to.
The first step is to remove the protective cover. To do this, you need to turn it counterclockwise. At the next stage, the block of wires and the spring holding the marker lamp are disconnected. Removing the lamp holder is quite simple. To do this, it must be turned counterclockwise until it clicks, after which it can be removed from the headlight.
I would like to draw attention to the fact that it is impossible to touch the glass part of the light bulb with bare hands. This is due to the fact that grease stains will remain, and since the lamp heats up to a very high temperature, this can lead to its failure. But if you touched them with your hands, then it makes sense to clean the glass with an ordinary alcohol solution.
How to replace a side light bulb on a Renault Logan
On this French sedan, the replacement process comes down to just a few simple steps, so even a novice driver can handle it. In order to change the lamp, you need to do the following:
- the headlight block is disassembled with a socket head for 10 and an extension cord;
- disconnect the wire going to the negative terminal of the battery;
- if there is no headlight corrector, the latch is pressed out and the headlight unit is dismantled.
Some models are equipped with headlight range control. It is located behind the front bumper under the cover. Therefore, replacing the light bulb in this case will be an order of magnitude more difficult. You will need to dismantle the bumper and cover. Only after that you can get to the headlight corrector and remove it. The cartridge is removed by unscrewing it counterclockwise in the case of the right headlight, and clockwise for the left. Everything is relatively simple, but at the same time it is quite laborious to replace a conventional overall light bulb.
Replacing the lamp on the "Hyundai Solaris"
This Japanese car has long been a popular favorite in Russia. This is one of the most popular cars that are used in taxis. This is because the vehicle is reliable and easy to maintain. This also applies to headlight bulbs. Even those who have no idea about the design and structure of the car can change them.
You should start by disconnecting the negative terminal of the battery, which will avoid short circuit in the course of work. On the right side, replacement is easier, as there is more space. It's worth starting with. The headlight unit has a special plastic cover. You can remove it by turning it counterclockwise. After that, we get access to the direction indicator lamps, head light and dimensions. We carry out the replacement and twist the cover. Since it is quite simple to replace the parking light bulb on the Hyundai Solaris, you can do it in 10-15 minutes.
Summing up
On some modern premium cars, it is not possible to change even a light bulb on your own. Whether this is good or bad, it is impossible to say for sure. But on budget models, such an opportunity is available. Moreover, it is advisable to carry out the replacement yourself, because there is nothing complicated and impossible.
Visiting a service station to replace a marker lamp is not the best solution. So you will spend much more money and precious time. And with self-replacement, you will gain precious experience that will come in handy in the future. It is recommended to take a burnt out lamp to the auto shop and buy a similar one. You should not chase after more powerful lighting devices, usually they bring only problems. On some brands of cars, like Renault Logan, it is more difficult to replace the lamp than on others. But there is nothing overwhelming, therefore, it is definitely worth addressing this issue.

Side lights are a type of optics that every car is equipped with. Despite this, not all drivers, in particular, we are talking about beginners, understand what this optics is for. This material will allow you to find out basic information about the dimensions, their shortcomings, as well as what types of lights are.

Description of marker lights
To begin with, we suggest that you familiarize yourself with the basic description of this type of optics. Let's analyze the purpose, device and types of headlights.
Concept and purpose
What are marker lights? The marker lamp is an optical device that is placed in the front as well as the rear of the car, in accordance with the rules of the road. Front and rear marker lights are designed to indicate dimensions vehicle so that other drivers can see the car. The photo shows that this type of optics can be used as parking lighting. Headlights must be switched on on each car at night.
Types and device
Side light bulbs can be white, yellow or Blue colour. In accordance with the traffic rules, it is allowed to use only white color However, in fact, representatives of the traffic police do not issue fines for such violations. As mentioned above, each car must be equipped with dimensions. Moreover, this type of optics can be installed either separately or as part of the main headlight unit.
As for the device, in this case, the light source is a halogen bulb. Of course, if you install xenon in dimensions, then a gas discharge lamp will serve as a light source. As an option, diode bulbs, as well as entire blocks, can be installed in the headlights. In the event that you change the side or rear bulbs, then you need to remember that the backlight sources should not shine as brightly as brake lights (the author of the video is Andrey Gorbunov).
Pros and cons
Instead of traditional lamps, diode lighting sources can be installed in the side dimensions. They allow you to emit a brighter glow, and if they blink, the voltage consumption will be lower. In particular, when compared with conventional headlights. In addition, one of the important advantages of diode elements is a higher service life, which on average varies around 100 thousand hours.
It should be noted that diodes are less sensitive to regular vibrations, as well as temperature extremes and high loads. As for the disadvantages, this is the higher cost of lighting sources.
Operation features
If you do not know how to turn on the parking lights, then this is not difficult. We recommend that you familiarize yourself with the service manual for operation, it contains more accurate data on turning on the optics.
We will look at several ways:
- If the machine is equipped with a power button located on the center console (as, for example, in the VAZ 2109), then this button activates the parking lights, as well as. To turn on the first ones, you need to press the button once, and when the next mode is activated, the low beam is activated.
- If a steering column switch is used, then you need to work with it to control the optics. The switch should have a button that turns on the lights (the author of the video is the Rama rus channel).
How to convert turn signals to dimensions?
How to make side turn signals with dimensions? To make the dimensions in the turn signals, you can contact a specialist, but as an option, the side turn signals can be redone on your own.

If you still decide to change the assignment of the turn signals, then do the following:
- First of all, you need to open the hood and dismantle the corresponding cover. Here you need to be guided design features auto, the process will be individual.
