This article will be interesting for those who decided to replace the taillights with a VAZ 2110. For those who have another auto, this will be a great example for a similar homemade. Today we will consider how to make round headlights, as, for example, in the legendary sports cars. Unfortunately, but for the VAZ 2110 there are no such kits so that they can be installed, so everything has to be done here do it yourself. There are several options for how to make such headlights.
The easiest way to do this is through the rework of regular VAZ-ovsky lamps. But in order to do everything efficiently and beautifully, you will need to make a certain amount of effort and spend some money. Consider each version of the alteration separately.
Option 1. We remake regular VAZ-ovsky taillights
For such a refinement, 56 red LEDs of 5 mm size will be needed. That is, for each dimension, the stop signal has 16 LEDs. You will also need to buy 8 LEDs for the yellow turn signals.
The author decided to equip the inner circle for turns, and the outer one will work as dimensions.
Create dimensions
First, the LEDs will need to be mounted on any round platform. Due to the fact that the “ten” taillights can not be disassembled, the author had to break the back. Then you can drill holes and install a round platform in them with LED diodes.
How to make brake lights:
Here, the author decided not to use the platform, but fixed the diodes simply in a circle on the wire. In the headlight, similarly, you need to drill holes and then insert the diodes in a circle. Since the diodes are inserted with some effort, the author did not use additional mounting for them. Well, in conclusion, the headlights are painted to match the color of the car. Such work took only 3 days.
Another way to create round lights
In the store today it’s unlikely to be able to buy such optics for tuning, however, there are items sold that will allow you to do it yourself.
For these purposes, you will need to spend money and buy a housing for the rear outdoor lights for LED modules. There will also be the necessary universal LED round modules, they are used to create lamps and headlights of a non-standard shape. Everything you need can be purchased at, the kit will cost around 5000 rubles.
Those motorists who purchased taillight masks noticed this feature:
1. On such a mask there is no attachment to the body and for the installation of optics;
2.In order to install modules hermetically in the mask, rubber seals are needed for them yourself;
3. And yet, the holes in the mask for installing the modules need to be finalized.
Using universal rear round headlights
In the departments for tuning you can still find elements such as universal round headlights. They come in several forms. They are distinguished by quality, price and manufacturer.
In the first case, you can purchase a Pro-Sport kit, it is the cheapest, but has one drawback. Incandescent lamps are used here, and this leads to heating and, as a result, deformations. In this regard, everything will have to be finalized, namely, to change incandescent bulbs to LEDs, and this is investment and labor.
There is also a Hella kit, it costs twice as much, but it also has a higher quality. These lights also shine much longer. It is also important to note that these headlights are 2 mm larger in size.
As for the installation, as it is to put no kit will work. After the car mounts are installed, there will be large gaps. In addition, the details will stick out behind the case, and all this will look inharmonious, but simply ugly. Here at least you have to work with a file.
For better tuning, you will need fiberglass putty, you will need finish and draft. You will also need sandpaper of different grain sizes, as well as a lot of time, strength and patience. The work is carried out for quite some time and painstakingly, so patience and inspiration are indispensable here. Then everything is polished to a perfectly smooth state and painted to match the color of the car.
In conclusion, all the work is obtained perfectly integrated in the car round headlights without gaps. Everything looks like these headlights were installed from the factory. In the photo you can see how the shape of the back mask looks after refinement.
Below is a collection of cars on which round headlights were installed.
Conclusion
In conclusion, we can say that to buy a ready-made kit for such tuning in the store will not work. In any case, the car and headlight will have to be modified for a quality installation. Regardless of the selected tuning method, whether installing diodes in existing headlights or installing universal headlights using putty, in any case, the car will become unique.
