Side lights are lighting devices provided by the design of a vehicle to indicate the vehicle while it is moving, in the evening, in fog and in other conditions of poor visibility.
It is necessary
- - awl;
- - relay.
Instructions
Step 1
To turn on the side lights, press the corresponding buttons located on the instrument panel: they are located to the left or right of the steering wheel (the location of these buttons depends on the vehicle model). The buttons you are interested in are marked with special graphic symbols, so it is almost impossible to confuse them with other buttons.
Step 2
If you need to turn on the side lights on foreign-made cars, then this can be done using a lever: for vehicles with a steering wheel on the right, the lever is also on the right, for cars with a left-hand drive, the lever is on the left. To turn on the side lights, just turn the tip, which is located at the end of the lever.
Step 3
You can control the turning on and off of the side lights by installing the "Automatic side lights switch" on the vehicle. This device is designed to automatically turn off the side lights after turning on the ignition. In other words, it protects the battery from discharge.
Step 4
For the functioning of this automatic mechanism, install the relay in the car interior (it is advisable to place it near the body that controls the outdoor lighting). After installing the circuit breaker, it must be connected correctly.
Step 5
Carefully pull out the side light terminal from the block of the standard body that is responsible for the car lighting (it will be easier to do this if you use an awl). In place of this element, insert a relay terminal of the correct size, which is located on the red or pink wire. Cut off the second relay terminal to avoid shorting.
Step 6
Put the terminal removed from the standard lighting control on the pin on the blue or green wire of the relay, then remove the remaining pin (blue or green wire). Now it remains only to connect the conductors "Ground" and "Ignition" to the mechanism. After completing the connection of the relay, be sure to test the operation of this mechanism.
