Recently, more and more car owners began to complement their cars xenon lamps.By the way, put such optics not only on the main headlights, and fog lights on.Such a high popularity is understandable.The fact that the lighting fixtures, as compared with the standard halogen, provides a powerful beam of light on the road.The difference is quite significant: the xenon is 2-3 times stronger than halogen.However, very few car owners thought about whether it is legal in Russia.Today we will try to find out whether legally use these lamps on the car, and how they are installed.
Act xenon
In traffic rules clearly stated that the vehicle staffed foglights, authorized for use on all motorways.That is, there is no ban.On the contrary, riding on the highway the car with the included "protivotumankami" - it's better than moving to the far light jeep or a sedan.However, to avoid any disputes you have with the staff of traffic police, it is best to install the optics according to GOST or at least one that has been certified.However, he set the Standard does not prohibit the xenon in the PTF.

So, we had no choice but to go to the store and buy a xenon lens.But after purchasing many are thinking about how to install them in the car.If you do not want to drive your car in the technical center, you can go the other way - to set xenon PTF own.By the way, this process is not so serious to think about buying or renting special tools.You will need only a minimum set of wrenches and a basic knowledge of 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 in the body parts small hole for the wires.You do not need to do too large holes.After installing the wires all the holes needed seal the rubber gasket.Further, in place of the halogen lamp set Xenon and undertake the connection block ignition.The last item should be in the spotlight on a mandatory basis, as this is the "small fry" generates the voltage required to light the headlight.Mount the device is not necessarily in the block headlights.It can be installed in any convenient location (in the engine compartment).Also, before turning on the lights, check the state of the ignition wires on the block.In no case should not be damaged or clamped between the two parts.It is not recommended to put a block to where the snow can fall or water.At this stage, xenon PTF is fully installed.Similarly we proceed with the second headlamp.
As you can see, the installation of xenon with his hands under his own garage - not such a difficult job, as it seems at first glance.As for the legislation, at the moment in Russia is not forbidden to install xenon PTF.
