On the VAZ-2123 car, block headlights are used that combine low and high beam headlights (with single-filament lamps) and direction indicators. In addition, the headlights are position light bulbs
The headlight switch-on diagram is shown in the figure.
The dipped and main beam headlights are switched on using auxiliary relays K4 and K5 located in the mounting block.
The control voltage to the relay windings is supplied from the headlight switch 3, if the key of the outdoor light switch 5 is fully pressed.
When the low beam is turned on, the low beam lamps are on, and when the high beam is turned on, all lamps (both low and high beams) are on.
Regardless of the position of the switch button 5, you can turn on the main beam for a short time by pulling the headlight switch lever 3 towards you.
In this case, the voltage to the contact "30" of switch 3 is supplied directly from the power sources.
Lamps used in the headlight unit:
- - high beam lamp - AKG 12-55 (H1)
