In recent years more and more car owners began to equip their vehicles with xenon lamps. By the way, put such optics not only for the main headlights, but fog lights. xenon in PTFThis high popularity is understandable. The fact that this light, in comparison with the standard halogen, provides a more powerful beam of light on the road. The difference is highly significant: xenon 2-3 times more powerful than halogen. However, few car owners thought about whether this is legal in Russia. Today we will try to find out is it legal to use these lamps on the car, and how they are installed.

The Law on xenon

the law of the xenonThe rules of the road clearly state that the vehicle is equipped with fog lamps, allowed to operate on all highways. That is, the ban no no. On the contrary, riding on the highway car with the included "foglights" is better than moving to the far light of a jeep or a sedan. But to avoid any disputes you have with the traffic police, it is best to use optics to GOST or, at least, one that was certified. However, the GOST does not prohibit to set the xenon in the PTF.

The installation manual of optical components

So, we have nothing left to do but go to the store and buy the xenon lens. But after the purchase, many are thinking about how to install them on the car. If you don't want to drive my car to the mechanic, you can go the other way – to install xenon in the PTF independently. By the way, this process is not serious enough to think about buying or renting special tools. You will need only a minimal set of wrenches and have some basic knowledge about electronics.

And now start to work. First we need to dismantle the old fog lamp. To do this, dismantle the protective lamp cover and drill the body parts a small hole for the wires. No need to make overly large holes. After you install the wires all the holes you want to seal fog lightsRubber gasket. Further, in place of the halogen bulb set xenon taken for the connection of ignition. The last element should be present in the headlamp is mandatory, as it is this “detail” generates the voltage needed to ignite the lamp. To mount this unit is not necessarily in headlamp Assembly. It can be installed in any convenient location (under the hood). Also before turning on the lamp, you should check the condition of the wires on the ignition. They in any case must not be damaged or clamped between the two parts. It is not recommended to place the unit where it may get snow or water. At this stage, the xenon in the PTF is fully installed. We proceed similarly with the second headlight.

As you can see, the installation of xenon with their hands in their own garage – not such a difficult job as it seems at first glance. As for legislation, at the moment in Russia is not prohibited to install xenon in the PTF.
