In the Scandinavian countries at the legislative levelautomakers made it necessary for all, without exception, cars dipped headlights turned on automatically with the ignition. In countries where legislation also obliges drivers to move with the lights on (and Russia is one of them), this function would be very convenient. But for Russia, car manufacturers do not provide this option. But this is a very convenient feature. However, if the manufacturer didn’t think about turning on the headlights automatically, then you can implement the Scandinavian light yourself. In some models, this can be done even programmatically. What is Scandinavian light and how to connect it? Consider in our today's article.
If the machine implements such a system, then thiswill save drivers from fines. Often, car owners simply forget to turn on their headlights during the daytime. Also, drivers forget and turn off the light, why the batteries sit down.
Существует несколько алгоритмов действия данной system. The first is to turn on or off the headlights on the car along with the ignition. This option is the easiest. But he has one drawback. If you need to park the car, and the ignition is turned on at that moment, then this Scandinavian light will quickly discharge the battery.
The second way the system works is when the headlights will turn on not with ignition, but when the engine is started. This algorithm is more convenient and optimal. When it is missing the above disadvantages.
Solutions may vary on different car models. Somewhere there will be enough simple manipulations with the software.

On old models of domestic production,where all the electrics are analog, for the implementation of the Scandinavian light system, in parallel with the standard low-beam control relay, an additional relay is installed. It can be controlled in different ways.
Используя реле, где контакты нормально open, and connecting the winding to the mass and a constant plus when the ignition is turned on, you can implement the simplest automatic switching on the headlights. It should be borne in mind that if the ignition lock has several circuits with a constant plus, some of them can be turned off when the engine starts to turn. Therefore, to implement the control of light should use them. It will be very useful in the winter, as well as when using a weak battery.
How to realize the Scandinavian light after starting the motor? The easiest way to do this is with a normally closed relay, which will be connected to the ignition circuit and the generator lamp or the oil pressure.
On some models of cars thatintended for different markets and countries, the automatic switching of the light is determined by the settings of the computer, or rather, the control systems of the on-board circuits. To activate this option, it is enough to contact any service station that has diagnostic equipment. Approximately in this way you can make the Scandinavian light on the "Ford".
It is worth remembering that on different models, the principles for activating automatic light control are different. Therefore, it is better to know in advance whether there is such an opportunity.
На современных авто, где много блоков управления (including body control circuit), the forced duplication of the power circuit for the light can lead to fixing faults and error indication. All these errors will be false. Some machines will block the power supply for such a "malfunctioning circuit." So, instead of automatically turning on the "low", you can lose all the light. In this case, the start-up of headlights can be realized only through the duplication of low-voltage circuits that control the switching of the operating modes of the lighting.
Modern alarms have additionalchannels that can be flexibly programmed. If the alarm has such a free channel, it can be programmed to activate at the time of starting the motor and turning off when muffling. This is a good variant of the implementation of the Scandinavian light. But it is not available on cheap Chinese signalki.
You must purchase a relay "Ford" 1.425.751 or VAZ 98.3747, VAZ 1119.3747210. Of the optional purchases - fuses for 10 amps in the amount of two pieces. They do not affect the inclusion of a passing beam, but affect the parking lights in different modes of operation. You may also need a 20 amp fuse.
Далее, для скандинавского света на «Форд Фокусе» 2nd generation should install 10 amps fuses in places 135 and 113. After that, you can enjoy the system. The relay will operate in Auto mode.
This machine does not need to installadditional relays. Here the function is activated using special dealer devices - Ford VCM and IDS. However, simple motorists will cope with the work. The whole process will take no more than 10 minutes and if there is no fear of wires, then you can take on this work. With the help of this equipment (Ford IDS) connect to the service connectors and activate the function in the appropriate menu.
There is another way.First you need to make sure that the car has a three-position lighting control unit. It must be pulled out and then disassembled and removed. In fact, the mechanism has four provisions. To include the desired, just grind off a piece of plastic.
Если блок четырехпозиционный, то в данном случае Only flashing saves. You can do slyly - tape the light sensor with tape. The car will think it's dark outside and turn on the lights on its own. This is the easiest and fastest option.
You can make Scandinavian light on the Opel Astra.There are two ways - using the manufacture and installation of the relay, as well as the method of reprogramming. Relays in these cars are provided, but not all models are equipped with them. The relay block is 8-pin and located behind the fuse box. The relay circuit contains a minimum of parts, and even a person far from radio electronics can assemble it. Then the assembled relay is simply inserted into the block.
Как видно, активировать такую нужную функцию не so difficult. If you have the necessary equipment, you can do it within 10-15 minutes. Installing relays and fuses is a more complicated procedure, but even novice car enthusiasts can handle this job.
