Ceiling lamps

To illuminate the interior of VAZ-2101 and VAZ-2102 cars, two PK-140 lampshades are installed in the door pillars, and two PK-140A lampshades are installed on the VAZ-2103. On VAZ-2102 cars, an additional PK-142 lampshade is installed in the rear upper part of the interior. The lampshades are held in place by two springs 6. The PK-140 and PK-140A lampshades differ only in that the PK-140A has a chrome rim 5. An AC12-5 lamp is installed in the lampshades.

The PK-140 lampshade has a housing 4 made of transparent plastic and a plastic cover 13. Between the housing and the cover, the lampshade mounting springs 6, plugs 7, 8, 12 and the lamp mounting contacts are clamped. Voltage is supplied to plug 7. Plug 12 is connected directly to ground, and plug 8 is connected via switches in the door pillars. When the doors are opened, these switches close plug 8 to ground and the lamp lights up.

The PK-142 lampshade is distinguished by its smaller dimensions, the shape of the switch 1 and the fact that it does not have a cover 13 and all plugs, springs and contacts are riveted to the body 4.

Underhood lamps

On VAZ-2101 and VAZ-2102 vehicles, a PD-140 type lamp is installed, and on VAZ-2103, a PD-526 type lamp is installed.

The plastic housing of the PD-140 underhood lamp consists of two parts: the upper 19 and the lower 15. Two spring contacts are installed in the housing: a fixed one connected to the plug 7, and a movable one 16 connected to the bolt 18. Contact 16 is pressed against the lamp base, closing it with the vehicle ground. When button 20 is pressed (when the hood is down) contact 16 is pressed away from the lamp base by the button and the lamp is switched off. The lower part of the button spring rests against washer 17, clamped between the upper and lower parts of the housing.


The PD-526 lamp has a solid plastic housing 21, onto the flange of which a plastic screen 24 is placed. A spring contact is placed on a bolt 18, the head of which is cast into the housing, connecting the central contact of the lamp 14 with the vehicle ground. Inside the button there is a return spring, the lower part of which rests on a pin 23 pressed into the housing. A contact washer 22 is installed on the lower part of the button, closing the plug 7 with the lamp base.

Glove compartment light

Lamp type LV-211. It is installed on all Zhiguli cars in the upper left part of the glove compartment and is attached with a screw to the instrument panel (for VAZ-2101 and VAZ-2102) or to a bracket riveted to the instrument panel (at VAZ-2103).

The lamp has a mounting bracket 25, to which a guide 26 of the button 20 is welded. A housing 21 is riveted to the end of the plastic button 20, into which a socket 29 with a miniature AMN12-3 bulb is inserted.

Voltage is supplied to the bulb via plug 7, and its base via socket 29, housing 21 and guide 26 is connected to the ground wire, the tip of which is clamped by the screw that secures the bulb. The closed lid of the glove compartment, pressing the button, pushes housing 21 away from guide 26, breaks the connection circuit with the ground and the bulb goes out.
