How to make angel eyes for a vase yourself? DIY angel eyes, installation of low beam headlights angel eyes VAZ 2106.

I have long wanted to make angel eyes on my VAZ 2106 with my own hands, so I decided, my friend and I were wondering how to do it neatly and beautifully, and through trial and error we came to this option.

So, let's begin!

What I needed:

LED strip SMD 5050 60 diodes per meter;
-Plexiglas (sheet thickness 10 mm);
-Cable;
-Glue gun;
-Sealant;
-Great desire and enthusiasm)).

About the manufacturing process:

My friend cut out the plexiglass rods for me, I honestly don’t know how. I had ready-made rods in my hands.

These are the rods. length about 50 cm (with reserve)
I take the rods and place them one at a time in the oven on a baking sheet so that the rod lies on the sides of the baking tray and the middle hangs. This is necessary to see when the middle begins to sag, which means the rod has heated up, you can take it out and bend it, which is what I did.

I used a salad bowl as a form. The diameter of the salad bowl is 105 mm. While the rod is hot, bend it around the salad bowl and cut off the excess with a hacksaw.

I glued the tape with a glue gun at the soldering points. Then we cover this entire creation with aluminized tape, all sides except the front. Next, we drill a hole in the reflector, on top for the cable, and put the eye into the reflector with a glue gun. Then the glass is sealed. That's it, that's the whole point. Everything is elementary simple.

The headlights of the potbelly stove are drying :)

This is how they shine during the day

In reality it shines cold white, not yellow as in the photo. But still, the picture does not convey the same effect as in reality.

I will immediately answer frequently asked questions:

Regarding the glue gun: I don’t know whether it will disappear or not, we’ll see. I heard that the glue can withstand temperatures up to 90 degrees. If it falls off, I'll remove the glass and put epoxy on my eye.
Regarding the rods: dimensions 8*10*500+mm.
In terms of costs: I bought 5m of tape for 145 UAH, shared with a friend. Glue costs a pretty penny. There was sealant. As a result, I spent at most 100 UAH. 🙂
Look like that's it.

I hope it was useful to you in some way. Thanks for reading :)

Today many people can only afford to buy domestic car: viburnum priora or vaz. These brands are often found on the roads of our country.
To make them more attractive and unusual, many car owners go for original auto tuning. The most popular and easiest do-it-yourself auto tuning today is “angel eyes” headlights.

Tuning "angel eyes"

We will tell you how to make angel eyes on a viburnum or a vase with your own hands in this article.

Benefits of tuning

Today, the “pumped up” VAZ (models 2101, 2105, 2106, 2107, 2109, 2110, 2112, 2114, 2115, 21099) or Viburnum Priora are found in all regions of our country. Car tuning can be very diverse, often installing new body kits. But this won’t surprise anyone anymore. And here is the installation " angel eyes" on vehicle domestically produced is still a curiosity and will be able to amaze even the most ardent opponents of the domestic automobile industry.
The advantages of installing “angel eyes” on a Priora or VAZ are the following points:

• the ability to assemble a lighting system with your own hands;
• availability of system materials;
• high-quality headlight illumination;
• long service life of the prefabricated system;
• beautiful appearance of the car;
• high-quality and original auto tuning of a domestic car.

Illumination “angel eyes” will be an excellent addition to any VAZ model (from 2101 to 2115 and 21099) or Priora.

Tuning features

Auto-tuning “angel eyes” consists of luminous rings that are located on reflectors. Such rings give the car originality and unusualness. It is worth noting that this type tuning is the most attractive in terms of finishing of domestic vehicles.

Note! BMW is considered the creator of such tuning.

Glowing rings are formed from LED strip, making this tuning:

• durable;
• resistant to mechanical damage;
• provides high-quality lighting;
• Quite easy to assemble.

Due to the fact that the basis of the luminous rings is an LED strip, anyone can do such tuning with their own hands. To do this, you just need to strictly follow the instructions given below.

Getting ready for work

In order to decorate your vase (models from 2101 to 2115 and 21099), you will need to prepare a certain set of materials and tools.

Note! It is almost impossible to find a suitable lighting and optical system for a car in stores. Therefore, you will have to make it yourself.

To make “angel eyes” for a vase, you will need the following materials:

• several plastic sticks. They must be equal in length to the dimensions of the optics on the machine. Therefore, to create tuning we will need four plastic sticks with a length of approximately 40-45 cm;

• heat-resistant sealant suitable for working with optics;
• four LED bulbs or strip. If using tape, give preference to the SMD 5050 model with 60 diodes per meter. The choice of LED glow color is determined only by your imagination. The best solution the color of the car will match the color of the LEDs;
• four spare glasses for headlights. You need to buy them just in case, since it’s unlikely that you can remove the old ones intact and without chips;
• cable;
• resistors;
• 9 volt battery;
• a can or any round object that has the same diameter as the headlights;
• plexiglass with a sheet thickness of 10 mm.

Tools you will need glue gun, hair dryer and pliers. You also need a drill with a set of drills and disk attachments.

Execution options

“Angel eyes” on a vase can be made in several ways:

• Simply purchase it at a store that specializes in alternative headlights. In this situation, all you have to do is install the headlights on the car yourself. But there is one significant drawback - finding suitable headlights is quite problematic, and they are not cheap;
• design of “eyes” using transparent tubes and LEDs;
• making tuning using LED strips.

Let's look at the option when “angel eyes” are made from plastic tubes.

We create beauty

When all the listed materials and tools have been collected, you can safely begin creating “angel eyes” on a vase or prior.
In order for everything to work out correctly and quickly, you must adhere to the following instructions:

Curved tubes

• We heat the transparent tube until it begins to bend and easily give in to the necessary deformations. You can heat the tube using a hair dryer or a regular oven;
• take a round shape. In its role, you should use a round salad bowl or coffee can. Using pliers, we bend the heated plastic tube around the perimeter of a round shape;

Note! Be careful while shaping the tube. so that it is not overheated. Otherwise, small bubbles may form in the plastic.

• Next, we wait for the tube to completely harden;
• after that, we saw off the edges so that LEDs can be installed in the tube;
• then we assemble the resistor and LEDs, carefully insulate the contacts and grind the soldering points;
• then you need to make notches on the tube in increments of about 2-2.5 mm. In this case, you should retreat 1–1.5 cm from the edges;

Note! To ensure that the notches are made evenly, the process of their formation must be controlled using a plastic clamp. If you make notches with the LEDs turned on, then you can already at this stage view the final result of your work.

Notches on the pipe

• In order for the glow emanating from the LEDs to be uniform and bright enough, the notches should be placed closer to the center. At the same time, they need to be made deeper: in the middle - 5 mm, and at the ends - 2 mm;
• after this, it is necessary to solder the diodes, making sure to observe the sequence so that the current flowing through them is equalized. The tape should be cut and soldered only in specially designated areas;
• We finally insert the LEDs into the tube.

As a result, the ends of the rings should have holes 5-7 mm long and 5 mm in diameter. It is recommended to use foil to cover the ends of the plastic tube.
If an LED strip is used, it is simply glued to a plastic strip. In this case, the tape is soldered according to the standard scheme.
Before installing your homemade “angel eyes” system on your car, be sure to check it for build quality, the glow of the LEDs and the strength of the resulting structure. Otherwise, if problems are discovered after installation, it will be very difficult to eliminate defects.

Installation on the machine

Ready tuning

Once you have assembled the angel eyes optical system, consider that half the battle is done. All that remains is to install it correctly on the headlights of your car. At this stage it is necessary to perform the following manipulations:

• here we need heat shrink tubing. It can be bought at any specialized store. Choose a product white. This color will not attract unnecessary attention and will not stand out against the background of glowing LEDs;
• attach the LED ring to the vehicle headlights;
• close them with new ones protective glass, since the old ones will most likely no longer be suitable;
• We treat the joints with sealant.

Now you see that “angel eyes” can be made quite easily yourself, following the step-by-step instructions.

The end result will be a beautiful auto-tuning for a domestic VAZ (model 2110, 2112, 2114 or 2115), making your “swallow” more attractive and original. The main thing is to strictly follow the assembly steps and believe in yourself.

Today, tuning domestically produced cars has become quite commonplace. Pumped-up VAZs can be seen in almost any area, in every city and region of our country. However, car enthusiasts often limit themselves to installing new body kits. On the one hand, it’s beautiful, but on the other, it’s no longer interesting, and it’s simply impossible to stand out from the crowd in this way. But there is a way that will really transform your VAZ without significant technical changes. And it consists in installing such illumination as “angel eyes”. How to install them, read further in our article.

How to make LED angel eyes? Preparing materials and tools

Unfortunately, ready-made kits of such optics for this model are difficult to find in stores, so you have to do everything with my own hands. In order to make “angel eyes” for the VAZ-2106, we only need a few plastic sticks. Their length should be equal to the size of the optics on the “six”, that is, for work we need to have 4 such sticks, each 40-45 centimeters long.

We will also need 4 for optics (if you are making LED angel eyes). As for the choice of color, it all depends on your imagination. You should purchase 4 new glasses as a reserve (it is very difficult to pick out the old ones intact).

Let's get started

To bend the sticks, we need some kind of cylindrical container. For cars like the VAZ-2103 and -2106, a coffee tin would be the ideal choice. But before this, the sticks need to be heated over an open fire or in the oven. In the latter case, they are placed on an inverted frying pan lid. After a little heat treatment, the sticks are subject to bending. To do this, we prepare a pair of pliers, a pattern in the form of a jar and a chair. The parts are removed from the oven using the first tool (one is taken by the end, and the other is wrapped around the can).

Now we wait until the plastic cools down. When it hardens, remove the already formed rings from the tin can. We cut off the excess ends of the sticks (they will definitely be visible) using a hacksaw so that we get a perfect circle.

We connect the LEDs and connect the wires

Next, we move on to the most difficult and responsible operation - installing LEDs. Holes are drilled at the two ends of the products strictly to the diameter of the purchased light bulbs, and their legs are cut off with a length margin of 5 millimeters. Then the LEDs are soldered parallel to each other. They are connected separately, each wire goes to its own track. It is important not to confuse the polarity, otherwise the entire work will have to be redone. In order not to confuse where the “plus” is and where the “minus”, use multi-colored wires (preferably red and black). The length of each should be approximately 15 centimeters. At this length we cut the wire that leads to the “plus” and solder the resistance here.

Now we buy some (the cheapest possible) transparent nail polish and apply it drop by drop into each hole (there are 2 in total). Before it has time to dry, we insert diodes into the holes. In time, the entire structure should stand in the open air for about 30 minutes.

Why is it better to use this particular varnish?

The fact is that after drilling, the inner surface of the parts will be scratched; accordingly, the plastic does not have normal contact with the diodes. From here we get a bad glow of the rings, which we don’t need at all. The varnish fills all these voids and makes one whole from two elements.

For reliability, it is recommended to make small notches on the rings (but not along the entire circumference). The distance should be at least 10 millimeters, and the depth should be about 0.5 millimeters. That's it, at this stage the “angel eyes” on the VAZ-2106 have been successfully manufactured. Now it remains to do the second part of the work - installing parts into the car's optics.

Installing "angel eyes" on the "six"

First, we will have to completely remove and disassemble the headlights (don’t forget to turn off the power to the car’s on-board power supply before doing this). Next we have to remove the glass surface of the optics. If we cannot do this on the spot, we try to slightly heat the headlight over the same gas stove. Sometimes even after these manipulations it is not possible to remove the glass. In this case, the only way out of the situation is to break this part of the headlight unit. Fortunately, optics for the “six” are not very expensive, so you don’t have to worry about financial expenses. If debris has formed on the reflector, be sure to remove it from there. Here you need to be extremely careful. Remember that under no circumstances should you touch the surface of the reflector with your hands, much less use special alcohol-containing substances, powder, gasoline, etc. for cleaning. We clean the dirt only with a cotton swab or a piece of rag with coarse lint. Otherwise, the illumination range of the headlights will be no more than 5-10 meters.

How does the installation of “angel eyes” proceed? The edges of the glass are treated with sealant. After this, the ring with the diodes facing up is placed in the headlight. In this case, the notches should face the lamp. For reliability, apply to the remaining edges of the glass. silicone sealant. Remember that the headlight must be sealed, otherwise it will constantly sweat and become cloudy. We wait 30 minutes for the sealant to harden, then connect the wires. Those that come from the “eyes” must be connected with the old ones that come with the headlight (low beam).

If desired, you can connect in another way. First, we disconnect the plug of the wires that go to the dimensions and turns. We connect the minus of the former with the plus of the latter (that is, two into one). The freed “+” from the dimensions will be used to connect a pair of “angel eyes”. The minus can be attached to the signal mount. In this case, the “angel eyes” will turn on not as low beam, but as dimensions (from the outside it looks very impressive!).

Conclusion

So, we found out how to install angel eyes “angel eyes” on a VAZ-2106 with our own hands. As you can see, with just 8 LEDs you can radically change appearance cars without installing any body kits or spoilers.

VAZ 2107, despite the considerable age of the model, has not lost its popularity. Low price, ease of maintenance and unpretentiousness appeal to domestic car owners. To make the familiar features of the “Seven” attractive and emphasize individuality, owners use a variety of tuning elements. “Angel eyes” on a VAZ 2107 is a simple and inexpensive way to decorate a car with your own hands.

Advantages of tuning “angel eyes”

Tuned “LADAS” are often found and invariably attract attention. This is especially true not for the tired plastic body kits (many of which are very standard), but for the newer, brighter ones (literally and figurative words) parts - headlights for VAZ 2107 “angel eyes”.
The advantages of this direction of tuning are as follows:

• You can modify the lighting system yourself, without resorting to the services of a service station;
• materials for modifying headlights are quite affordable;
• “angel eyes” provide high-quality illumination, noticeable even in the daytime;
• The lighting system is reliable and durable;
• tuning provides a beautiful original appearance of the “Seven”.

This illumination is an excellent addition to the large rectangular headlights of the VAZ 2107.

What are “angel eyes”

Tuning headlights “angel eyes” are luminous rings located around the perimeter of the reflector. This gives the headlights an unusual and attractive look. For the first time, such tuning was used by the famous German company BMW and it quickly became popular among owners of all brands of cars.
The luminous “border” on the reflector is made of LED strip, which is reliable and has low power consumption.

The LED strip is mounted and connected very simply, so the services of specialists are completely unnecessary. Anyone can make “angel eyes” on a VAZ 2107 with their own hands.

Options for “angel eyes” on the VAZ 2107

Tuning angel eyes headlights can be done in several ways:

Let's look at the latest options in more detail.

What is needed to make “angel eyes” on a VAZ 2107

To decorate your “seven”, you need the following tools and materials:

• plastic tubes or strips corresponding to the perimeter of the car's optics;
• heat-resistant sealant for optics;
• LED strip (the color and brightness of the LEDs depends only on your taste);
• spare headlight glasses (in case it is not possible to carefully remove the standard glasses);
• insulated wire or cable;
• resistors;
• insulating tape;
• battery (9 volts);
• headlight size template;
• glue gun;
• pliers;
• hair dryer (if not, you can use a regular oven);
• drill with a set of drills and attachments.

How to make “angel eyes” on a VAZ 2107

When the materials and tools are collected, you can begin to work. LED strip backlighting is made as follows:

• make a mold with a perimeter corresponding to the size of the “seven” headlights and the planned “eye” shape;
• heat the transparent tube with a hairdryer or in the oven to a temperature at which it begins to bend easily;
• Using pliers, bend the heated tube around the perimeter of the template;

Important: do not allow the tube to overheat, otherwise bubbles will appear in its material.

• wait until the tube cools down;
• make notches on the tube in increments of 2 mm;
• insert LEDs (LED strip) into the tube;
• solder the LEDs in series (the LED strip can be soldered or cut only in the places specified by the manufacturer);
• solder resistors and wires to the LEDs (the value of the resistors depends on the length of the strip and the type of LEDs);
• sand and insulate the soldering areas.

If not LEDs are used, but an LED strip, the tube can be replaced with a plastic strip.

It is necessary to carefully check the quality of the workmanship before installing “angel eyes” in the headlights.

Installation of “angel eyes” on a VAZ 2107

After manufacturing the LED backlight, it must be installed inside the headlight unit. This is done like this:

• dismantle the headlights;
• heat the headlight glass with a hairdryer and remove it;
• install “angel eyes” in the headlight units and glue them with glue or sealant;
• connect the backlight wires to the side lamps;
• glue the headlight glass with sealant;
• install and connect headlights;
• check the operation of the LED backlight.
