Surprise when replacing a side lamp on a Solaris

Replacement may be a little difficult due to the special headlight. Therefore, you may need a surgical instrument.

Such a trifle as replacing a side light bulb on a Hyundai Solaris, for cars of other models, can cause certain difficulties.

Especially if you have no experience in servicing the machine yourself. Solaris also prepared a surprise when servicing the optics, but dealing with it is quite simple.

The Hyundai Solaris front headlights are equipped with:

halogen headlight lamps with H4 standard socket, power 60/55 W,
direction indicator lamps with a power of 21 W, type PY21W,
side light lamps with a power of 5 W with the designation W5W.

The design of the headlight block allows you to quickly replace any of the lamps, but on the driver's side, access to the left headlight is complicated by the fuse box.

You can use diode lamps.

Several years ago, official Hyundai dealers began offering special plastic pliers that make replacing a headlight bulb easier. However, even without them, the operation can be performed in a couple of minutes with your own hands.

Replacing the side light bulb on a Hyundai Solaris

Before replacing the side light bulb on a Hyundai Solaris, you must disconnect the negative terminal from the battery to avoid a short circuit. We will start the replacement from the right side, where access to the headlight is not burdened by anything.

The operating algorithm is as follows:

Remove the plastic cover on the back of the headlight unit by turning it counterclockwise.

Removing the headlight cover.

Socket without marker lamp.

Old and new marker lamps.

To replace the left side light bulb on a Hyundai Solaris, we use the same algorithm, with the only difference being that it is better to use a surgical clamp as a manipulator.

In this case, you do not have to remove the fuse box, and for convenience, you can only remove the plastic cover on this block. In some cases, if it is necessary to replace the headlight bulb on the left headlight, unscrew the two screws securing the headlight unit. This allows you to move it forward as much as possible and easily replace any lamp in the housing.

Parking lights are one of the important functional parts of a car. If they fail, maneuvering while driving will be unsafe. If the signal lights fail or begin to work incorrectly, repairs must be made. Light bulbs may break more often if they have an alarm installed. In this case, you need to know how to replace the side lamp on a Renault Logan.

Required Tools

To make a replacement without outside help you should take:

rubber gloves (must be worn to avoid damaging new lights);
side lights W5W (4 pcs);
Phillips screwdriver;
keys for 8 and 10;
socket head 13 (to remove the battery mounting bar);
rags;
extension.

Some people neglect to use gloves, but the service life directly depends on this. If you touch a new lamp with unwashed hands, it will fail 5-7 times faster.

Step-by-step instructions for replacing front side lights

Replacement is carried out first from the front of the car, then from the rear. Running lights in Renault are part of the headlight unit, making them easy to replace.

Sequence of actions:

Disconnect the battery terminal.
Disconnect the negative headlight.
Remove the front bumper and clear the access to the body mount. You can remove the lamp socket without removing the hood if your hand fits into the hole.
Remove the lamp socket. It is located directly below the low/high beam.
Remove the headlight block bolts.
Unscrew the retaining screws and tilt the headlight unit.
Release the lock and lift the cover.
Separate the wire connection block.
Insert a new one in place of the burnt out bulb, remembering to perform the operation while wearing gloves.
Reinstall the socket with the new marker lamp.
Assemble the headlight unit, connect the wire block, install the light control cable, bumper, and secure the housing.

The process of how to replace a headlight bulb on a Renault Logan is the same on new and old models - the design has undergone almost no changes. The procedure for the right and left lamps is the same.

Replacing side lamps for restyled and pre-restyled car models is slightly different. Experienced drivers claim that replacing light bulbs on a Restyled car is a little more difficult. It should be noted that the front headlight bulbs do not have a base. If you look at the edge of the headlight, detailed information about the bulbs will be written there. If you don’t trust the inscriptions, then wipe the glass and see for yourself.

Open the hood and remove the “-” terminal from the battery. This is done for safety. The terminal must be removed whenever you carry out electrical work.
Remove the plugs that go to the light bulbs.
This is where the similarity of the operation regarding replacing both the head and front lights ends. To replace the front parking lights, remove the “thing” that the plug goes into.
Turn the light bulb a little (clockwise 45-60 degrees) and remove it. Please note that the light bulb is simply pulled out. Don’t get confused, the nest turns with her and then pulls out.
Install a new light bulb. Replace the plug and return everything to its place.

We recommend starting the lamp replacement procedure from the side where the battery is not installed. The point is that it is a little in the way, and if you start working on the other side, you can practice it beforehand. When replacing light bulbs, do not touch the glass - there will be marks that will affect the quality of light.

Replacing front marker lamps - restyling

The lamp socket in restyled models is usually much more difficult to obtain. Firstly, it is small, and secondly, it is not easy to get to. You need to grab it well and, swinging up and down, pull it out. In restyled models you don’t need to twist anything. You need to start from the side where the washer tank is located. After this, you can move on to the headlight located on the battery side. It is more difficult to remove the cartridge from this side, since it rests against the body. Try to point it slightly upward using your right hand, this will make the task easier.

It is not necessary to remove the cartridge by hand - you can use a tool. There is a protrusion on the socket in which the lamp is installed. Take a long flathead screwdriver. Grasp the protrusion with a screwdriver and pull out the cartridge using the lever system. In this case, the lamp is simply removed upwards.

Reasons for replacing side light bulbs

LED lamps are replacing standard incandescent lamps. There can be many reasons for replacement. Some people want to tune the car in this way, making its dimensions whiter and brighter, which, paired with cold xenon, looks just great. Some people are not satisfied with the standard service life of incandescent lamps (from 500 to 1000 hours). Others believe that if you save on energy consumption, this will affect your fuel consumption. And others simply support technological progress.

Criteria for selecting side lamps

To choose the right lamps for side lights, consider the following parameters:

Lamp brightness. Rated by luminous flux and measured in lumens. An ordinary incandescent lamp has a luminous flux of 50 lm. Your parking lights are designed to indicate the dimensions of your vehicle. They must not blind road users. That is why the dimensions should not emit a luminous flux of more than 150 Lm. The optimal value is from 50 to 100 lm.
Lamp design. Cheap Chinese lamps have a plastic base, which can melt when the lamp heats up. More expensive models are equipped with a base made of heat-resistant plastic. Please note that at very high brightness, an incandescent lamp will generate heat that can melt the lampshade. There are new products in the form of lamps without bases. Their contacts are made on a glass plate of sand board.
Price. Do not buy lamps that are too cheap, otherwise you will have to change them very often. Do not buy lamps from Aliexpress - you risk getting a fake that does not have current stabilization. Decent lamps are made by Phillips and Osram. Do not buy too expensive lamps: they have high brightness and a short service life.

We present to your attention detailed photos and video instructions, how to change a headlight bulb on Lada Kalina with your own hands.

What are the dimensions of the Lada Kalina lamps?

In the dimensions of Kalina there are standard baseless lamps of the type A12-5-2 (W5W). If desired, LED lamps can be installed instead.

Replacing the headlight bulb on Kalina - photo

Before replacing the headlight bulbs, be sure to turn them off, and it is also advisable to disconnect the negative terminal of the battery.

The clearance lamp is replaced with the hood open.

To gain access to the burnt out lamp, remove the headlight protective cover opposite the high beam section.

It is this yellow cartridge at the bottom of the headlight that we need to remove.

This procedure is complicated by the fact that the cartridge of Kalina’s dimensions is located in a very inconvenient place; getting into it with your fingers is problematic. And it often takes a lot of effort to remove the cartridge.

Many people recommend using pliers or another tool to remove an oversized cartridge. We do not recommend doing this, since the plastic cartridge is easy to break, and finding a new one is difficult.

To facilitate access to the size socket, disconnect the chip from the high beam lamp (brown, located above the size socket).

Access is now better.

We put our hand in and carefully pull the cartridge of dimensions towards ourselves. Often the cartridge requires a lot of effort. If it does not give in, you can twist it slightly to the left and right, and then carefully pull it out, gradually increasing the force.
