After motorists were able to equip their vehicles with new LED elements, a real revolution took place in car tuning. In the first place, objects of decoration became glass, salons, doors and, of course, front and rear lights. Thus ways of decorating front and tuning of back lamps on vases 2115 in most significantly different from vases 2114. Unlike the front, taillights in most cases are equipped with LEDs. The catalyzing circumstance is that, that tuning car VAZ 2114 under the power of even a novice motorist, and make it with your own hands is not a big deal.
Varieties of tuning of taillights on the VAZ car 2114
Among the scenarios, which are most often tuned taillights on VAZ cars 2114, the following deserve special attention (any of them can be realized with your own hands):
- LED pads. Today, LED overlays are the most common option for tuning the headlights with your own hands. At the same time, the vast majority of VAZ car owners 2114 prefers LED pads, made by hand. Therefore, there is a good reason - factory-made overlays do not have visual presentability and most are not suitable for the headlights of this car. It is not so difficult to make LED overlays by hand - it is enough to stock up on epoxy glue and fiberglass;

- diode rings. Since any tuning requires the ability to work with electrical appliances, making diode rings should not cause problems even for a novice mechanic;

- use of lamps with high power. In most cases, this method is used before processing the glass tinting film, because the pure world of this type of lighting is too bright and can blind other road users. Showiness, which is created by such lamps, compensated by excessive fuel consumption and the prospect of overheating wiring. Similar tuning for the car VAZ 2114 it is better not to apply, since the power reserve of this machine is below average;
- installation of individual LEDs with your own hands. This method is the most creative, it opens a wide field for the flight of fancy. Disadvantages include unnecessary time costs, which will inevitably lead to the development of the pattern and the installation of the LEDs on the lantern. Of the advantages - reduced cost of separately purchased LEDs.

How to make overlays
To make LED overlays on VAZ headlights 2114 with their own hands, you will need the following tools, accessories and consumables:
- operating car taillights;
- set of LED lamps;
- fiberglass;
- materials for painting;
- adhesive tape for painting;
- epoxy-based adhesive.

If you have everything you need, you can start tuning. This instruction is suitable in case of installation of LED overlays as own production, and purchased. The procedure is as follows:
- completely cover the taillights with adhesive tape;
- apply fiberglass on the same adhesive tape (LED overlays will be mounted in it);
- treat fiberglass with epoxy adhesive (it should be applied 2-3 thin balls);
Blanks for overlays
- remove all defects and irregularities from the surface and wait for complete drying (in most cases, this stage lasts at least 12 hours);
- after the glue dries, the workpiece should be removed and outline the contours of future jewelry on the resulting surface;
- cut the prepared profile with a knife or scissors;
- sand the prepared surface of sandpaper with fine grains;
Blanks for overlays before and after sanding and priming
- apply a soil layer;
- cover with base paint;
- apply a special varnish for protection;
- install LED blanks on the taillights.
This is the tuning of the car VAZ 2114 can be considered complete.
Installation of LED lights in the taillights
Unlike LED pads, mounted on the outside of the car's headlights, diodes are inserted directly into the headlights themselves. In this case, the car owner will need the skills to work with such a tool, like a soldering iron. Before starting the tuning, the motorist must prepare the diodes and the board. If everything is done correctly, then next time the LEDs will be easy to connect to the VAZ 2114. Among other things, the stabilization circuit must be mounted. Special stabilizers will be the best choice for its production, which are implemented under the code 7812. They are needed for that, so that the LEDs emit a small amount of power when operating in position lighting mode, and when idle - the maximum possible.
If you aspire to it, to make your car as original as possible, you can install on the taillight LEDs in the form of an arrow, pointing to the right and left respectively. This will look very presentable and is achieved by teaching LED lights in the desired shape.
Original LED lights
Tuning of this kind requires a large number of tools and consumables (especially when it comes to installing LEDs with your own hands). You will need to stock up:
- set of LED lighting fixtures (together with resistors);
- fasteners for these diodes;
- adhesive tape;
- substance, performing the functions of a sealant (preferably based on silicone joints);
- glues with epoxy-based substance.
Many novice motorists in this situation will be interested in the question, how many total LEDs do you need. It is impossible to give an exact answer to it, as much depends on the characteristics of a particular type of lantern. In any case, it is better to buy a few extra LEDs (they have the unpleasant property of burning out). It will be more rational to use white LEDs as diffusers. For turn signals, the best choice is orange, for brake lights - red, and for reversing lamps - transparent.
Installation of LEDs in the taillights of vases 2114 with their own hands is carried out according to the following algorithm:
- Remove the lantern from the car body.
- Remove reflectors and reflectors from the lantern (after cutting you will be able to reach them).
- Completely disassemble the car's taillights, separate the glass.

- Mark the place with a felt-tip pen, where LEDs will be attached in the future.

- Glue round fragments cut out of adhesive tape from the inside.
- To reveal with silver paint all surfaces of lights-dimensions and stop-signal lights.
- After the paint dries - remove the adhesive tape.
- Install epoxy-based adhesive reflectors.
- Open all newly formed joints with sealant.
Installation of LEDs
- Attach the LED boards to the wiring of the car VAZ 2114 and place them in the inner frame of the lantern.
- Mount the stabilization circuit (its purpose will be an LED connection).
- Assemble the turn signal control units and connect them to the tail lamp.
- Install the modules on the adhesive epoxy substance.

If all optical components are working properly, then tuning the car VAZ 2114 can be considered complete.
How to make a diode ring
To make a taillight based on a diode ring, you will need the adhesive based on epoxy compounds mentioned in this article. The basis for creating a lighting device will be the diode rings or LED strip. The headlight body will be made of large or small reflectors, which are quite easy to find if you want on the market. So do you, certainly, you will need paint (you can choose based on personal aesthetic preferences). Most often for work with VAZ cars 2114 the dye with a shade of a chromeplated product is used.
Follow this algorithm to make a lighting fixture:
- first of all - to mount diode rings in pre-prepared tin cylinders (usually, banks are used, leftovers from drinks or food);
- in banks - carefully cut holes so, to make them look like wells. There should be two wells: external and internal. If, example, the bank was suitable for an external well, then the interior can be easily and cheaply made from painted half-liter plastic cups;
Cylinder for mounting diode rings
- to install in each internal well on one standard reflectors of the Soviet manufacture. They, among other things, must create lighting in accordance with the standard scheme: orange conductors, reversing lights white, fog lights - red. After that, a large number of elements may remain in the large reflector, which will look quite good inside the module. The whole place, the rest can be decorated with an LED ring;
Cylinder with mounted added ring
- install diode ring reflectors. With, that their coupling with a body was normal, you will need fixing ribs of this substance, as epoxylin;
Installation of diode ring reflectors
- glass can be provided with additional surfaces, fixed also by means of epoxylin.

If this algorithm is executed correctly, VAZ tuning 2114 can be considered complete.
