Are the headlights on your Daewoo Nexia bad? Everything is solvable

Many owners of Korean automotive products notice that the headlights on the Daewoo Nexia do not shine well.
There are not many reasons for this shortcoming. Experts assure that it is possible to cope with this problem on your own, but this will require finding out the true factors of the deficiency, and then eliminating the identified malfunction. Novice drivers who do not have at least minimal experience and knowledge of the internal structure of individual components and assemblies are recommended to contact professionals at the nearest service center.

Headlight adjustment

Are the headlights on your Daewoo Nexia bad? This means that immediate elimination of this deficiency is required, since good visibility on the night road is one of the keys to traffic safety. One of the reasons affecting the operation of automotive lighting elements is their correct adjustment.

On Nexia, released before 2008

, adjustments are made using adjusting screws using a screwdriver until the optimal value is achieved. On models manufactured after this period, adjustment is made with a key set to “10” by rotating the screws located on the back side of the light element.

Daewoo Nexia headlight design

Early Nexias have block-type headlights, consisting of a lamp with two filaments for short-range and long-range. There is also a light indicator and turning lights. Generations of cars produced after 2008 are equipped with updated headlights with an improved design. In them, lamps of different range modes are installed separately.

The need to adjust the headlights of the car model in question arises mainly after repairs or any work has been carried out on them. As practice shows, even minor interference with the operation of lighting devices can disrupt their settings. Adjustment will also be required if the headlights on the Daewoo Nexia do not shine well when purchasing a used car. Having studied the main reasons for the poor performance of lighting fixtures and repair technology, it is quite possible to correct this problem yourself.

All owners of Nexias in the old body are familiar with the problem of head lighting - there is practically none. In the city it’s not so noticeable, mostly the streets are lit, but on the highway it’s just some kind of test. In the long range everything is fine - you can safely maintain 90 km/h, visibility is sufficient, but when oncoming traffic appears and after switching to the low range, I cannot move more than 60 km/h, since the visibility ahead is, well, a maximum of 10 meters. It was decided to start small, with replacing the original headlight wiring with a new one using a 4-pin relay. Judging by the article on Nexia-FAQ, the drawdown in the wiring is as much as 2 Volts. In my case it was a little less, but I still proceeded to eliminate it. I soldered new wires as described in the article. Couldn't do it without an assistant.

The owners of the new Nexia Restaling received, along with the new face, lensed headlights, and judging by the reviews of the owners, they were quite decent. The idea of replacing the face of the N100 with the N150 seemed tempting to me for a long time, despite the fact that only the headlights, bumper and radiator grille needed to be replaced. The only thing that stopped me was the total cost of this procedure - about 20-23 thousand from original spare parts. And then one fine day I came across an advertisement about the disassembly of a Nexia in a new body. Judging by the photo, only the bumper was damaged. In general, I contacted the seller, he announced tempting prices: headlight 1 thousand rubles, grille 200 rubles, adsorber 300 rubles. And all this in Omsk, no transport companies. As it turned out later, it was 400 meters from my office. In general, I came to this analysis to look at the product. Of course, everything looks more beautiful in the photos than in reality. One headlight turned out to be not original - it has turned yellow, I will grind and polish it, the auxiliary plastic for attaching the bumper is damaged. Judging by the way the “disassembler” tore off the bumper, the plastic was damaged more from the disassembler himself than from the accident. In general, we have: 2 headlights, a grille with cracks (no bottom fastening yet, the old owner had it directly screwed into the bumper using a self-tapping screw), a foam adsorber (a small side piece was broken off), left and right side bumper fastenings (with significant damage, in my opinion, from the hands of a dismantling vandal), 2 front bumper mounts (oddly enough, without damage). All this cost me 2800 rubles. Buying one new headlight (original), judging by Exist, would cost me 5,400 rubles, a duplicate 2,000-2,500 thousand rubles. If everything purchased can be restored, I will only need to buy the front bumper cover. The cost of the original is 3600-3800 rubles.

+ As a bonus, I took the original rugs from him for 600 rubles. In general, I now have a new project in the evenings - do it yourself N125. I’m learning to work with epoxy, fiberglass, putty. Let's see what comes of this.

Foundation and reason

An inexperienced driver of a standard Nexia may not realize that the car’s lighting has objective shortcomings. The same cannot be said about experienced motorists. Those who have driven different cars often complain about the lack of power of standard Daewoo Nexia lighting devices. The brightness of the n150 head optics is really insufficient even for new cars that have recently rolled off the assembly line. What can we say about used equipment and tarnished lenses.

The root of the indicated situation lies in the electrical settings. For an unknown reason, Daewoo designers made the logic of the system a little strange and incomprehensible. If you have 12.5V available on your battery, only 11V reaches the optical bulbs, that is, noticeably less. Almost 10 percent is lost somewhere unknown.

The process of correcting the defect will take a few hours. It is, of course, advisable to have a basic understanding of the structure of electricity and electrical appliances. Additionally, you will need the ability to solder and measure circuit voltage. The effort and time spent will result in safety and more comfortable night driving.

Preparation for manipulations

To quickly understand whether it is necessary to modify the electrical wiring of the Daewoo Nexia 150, you will need an ordinary sensitive multimeter. We measure the battery voltage and remember (record) the data. With the low beam on, we take measurements at the connections of the lamp base chip. If, as a result of comparing the two obtained figures, you find a difference of 1.5 volts, then there is unspent potential that is easy to use. In this case, the operation described below will have a positive effect on the efficiency of the optics.

To improve the headlights on the Daewoo Nexia n150 you will need to purchase the following components:

two four-contact relays 30A;
two pads for them;
two 20A fuses in a sealed housing;
Electrical wire with a cross-section of 2.5 square meters. As a rule, a 2.5 section is used in the ligament system, but in some areas a thinner one is suitable.

The approximate amount of necessary costs if you do the work yourself is 350 rubles.

Most people at least vaguely imagine working with a soldering iron; many have held it at least once. With relays the situation is the opposite; the topic is familiar to only a few. But mastering the basic principles happens instantly, interest and desire work wonders.

Brief introduction to the design

In a four-pin switch, the two main contacts are “plus” and “minus”, that is, the points for powering the device. You can connect it either directly from the battery, or try to find the “plus” in another place so that everything works when the ignition is on. The third connection is the control one. The voltage supplied to it leads to a characteristic click and redirection of power from the main contacts to the fourth. On devices, the contacts are usually labeled with a standard numerical designation, so do not be alarmed when you see the number 87 or 30 in the instructions.

Many owners of this model are thinking about how to make Daewoo Nexia headlights better. The above article describes a simple, modern method that has been fact-checked several times.

An inexperienced driver of a standard Nexia may not realize that the car’s lighting has objective disadvantages. The same cannot be said about experienced motorists. When driving different cars, they often complain about the insufficient power of the standard Daewoo Nexia headlights. The brightness of the n150 head optics is really not enough even in new cars that have recently rolled off the assembly line. What to say about the technique of used and tarnished lenses.

The root of this situation lies in the electricity settings. For some reason, Daewoo designers made the logic of the system somewhat unusual and incomprehensible. If the battery is 12.5V, only 11 bulbs go to the bulbs, in other words, noticeably fewer. In fact, 10 percent disappear, it is not clear where.

The troubleshooting process will take several hours. It is better, of course, to have a basic understanding of the structure of electricity and devices. Additionally, you will need the ability to solder and determine the voltage of the circuit. The time and energy spent will translate into a safer and more comfortable night ride.

To quickly understand whether you need to change the wiring of your Daewoo Nexia 150, you will need a regular sensitive multimeter. We measure the battery voltage and store (record) the data. When the low beam is flashing, measure the lamp cover at the connections. If, when comparing the 2 numbers obtained, you find a difference of 1.5 V, this is untapped potential that is easy to use. In this case, the operation described below has a positive effect on the efficiency of the optics.

Daewoo Nexia N150, part 2, replaces conventional burnt lenses

To improve the Daewoo Nexia n150 headlight, you need to purchase accessories for you:

two four-pin 30A relays;
two gaskets under them;
two 20A fuses in a sealed housing;
2.5kV Electronic Wire Typically the communication system uses a 2.5V connection, but in some places it will be narrow.

How to improve the head light on Daewoo Nexia n150?

It is necessary to install new light bulbs, preferably original ones, and do not buy light bulbs more powerful than the original, otherwise they will quickly burn out!

You need to change the lenses since they burned out, there is no other option.

I also have a 2011 Nexia with a mileage of 60,000 km - the headlights shine normally. They say that when the headlights on a Nexia start to shine poorly, it means the reflective elements have burned out, perhaps even because there were non-standard bulbs of higher power! Tell me what you did in general? and was the lens replaced? what is the mileage on your swallow

Reflectors on lenses burn out within a couple of years. Or replace it with new ones (not Neksievsky ones) Or just install real fogs. Fog lights are both simpler and much cheaper. The first shot is low beam. The second plus of fogs. Just don’t put these useless strobe lights in the regular places, but put real fogs on the bumper. Unfortunately, it is not possible to show a photo here.

I want to buy a Daewoo Nexia and only that

SiSishka o̶n̶l̶i̶n̶e̶ ))) why?

airat (Hemacandra) I drove it and really liked it. I looked through the story and found out that the Daewoo is a 1998 Opel Codet, bought by Korea. I liked the driving and the convenience. I've driven many cars, but in terms of convenience, comfort and price, there is no better one.

Love (Yamama) The price matches! it's true! I also seem to be happy, but the drawback is the doors, winter has just begun and they are already freezing so much.

SiSishka o̶n̶l̶i̶n̶e̶))) I had the same problem. I broke the key even at first

SiSishka o̶n̶l̶i̶n̶e̶))) the car has excellent chassis. but it’s already become a bit cramped for me. two youngsters.

SiSishka o̶n̶l̶i̶n̶e̶ ))) kids

SiSishka o̶n̶l̶i̶n̶e̶ ))) I agree completely

airat (Hemacandra) neighbor recently bought a one-year-old Daewoo, first frost and no such problems. You probably have an older edition, they are cold and cool down quickly. the new model is warm, I had a blast driving it and the new body is absolutely classy

SiSishka o̶n̶l̶i̶n̶e̶ ))) I have 2008

Evgeniy (Dylan) Love, it’s probably not your doors, but your locks that freeze? This is Ksyukha’s disease.

Evgeniy (Dylan) Airat, Daewoo Nexia is only an Opel Kadett in appearance, but inside it is all Uzbek. The metal in Opel was galvanized and 0.5 mm thick, and in Ksyukha it was ordinary iron, 0.4 mm thick. The engine is Korean, but good!

SiSishka o̶n̶l̶i̶n̶e̶))) doors.

SiSishka o̶n̶l̶i̶n̶e̶ ))) locks of course!!

airat (Hemacandra) I know. but don’t take our grant, of course you could take the Logan Renault. but for some reason Daewoo, this salon. I like.

Evgeniy (Dylan) if there are doors, then this can be solved very simply! Wipe the rubber seals with a dry cloth, and then (buy at any auto parts store) spray silicone grease on these rubber bands. And you will forget about doors and locks. so you will suffer.

Evgeniy (Dylan) I’m also pleased, for the price. It's just not an Opel. And of course, better than Kalina! If money allows, buy a Renault Sandero.

airat (Hemacandra) wow it won’t work out

Because You are not logged in. To come in.

Because The topic is archived.

retrofit on lensed gas-discharge modules (ISS/MIR, yeah) is very good. minus one: as they like to scream here, the “collective farm” is abnormal with legal consequences (none of the local officials ever provided a protocol, but there were screams.)

budget - from 6500 if you do everything yourself. If you don’t remove the headlights until you remove the bumper, you’ll have to do a day’s work.

PS We do not sell halogen lensed modules, because... there is no demand at all. It’s easier to buy a pair of used headlights from a four-year-old car and uproot them from there.

Why is there bad light on the Nexia? Causes

The first reason is poor quality headlights . The low quality of Uzbek headlights is one of the main sources of this problem; at first the low beam on the Nexia lights up normally, but as it is used it begins to dim. Because the reflector burns out or becomes cloudy.

The second reason is low voltage . The wires that go to the headlights are very thin, and the low beam also goes directly through the contact group because of this there is a strong loss on the light bulbs.

The third reason is lenses . Nexia lenses in combination with halogen bulbs are not the best pairing. Most cars have lenses if they use xenon bulbs instead of halogen bulbs.

The fourth reason is natural wear and tear . As the car is used, the headlights begin to become cloudy; wiping the headlights dry with a rag will scratch the surface severely, so the headlights will shine worse.

So, we have figured out the reasons, now we need to solve the problem with poor light on the Nexia once and for all. In order to improve the light on Nexia, you can perform a number of manipulations.

Low beam lamps in brands and prices

To find and install a good low beam lamp, you need to be guided not only by the price and information coming from the manufacturer, but also take into account the opinions of consumers. So, for the 1st generation Daewoo Nexia, the following copies received the largest number of reviews:

Night Breaker from Osram is characterized by high power, but not a very long service life.
Valeo 032006 - with standard parameters, the main advantage is the price of about 340 rubles.
Vision H4 from Philips – compared to the standard model, it produces a quarter more brightness and costs about 730 rubles.
Long Life H4 brand Philips - characterized by durability, costs 950 rubles.
Original Line H4 from Osram - optimal price-quality ratio, about 930 rubles.
Offroad Super Bright brand Osram - about 1000 rubles, with a power of about 100 W there is a large load on the electrical network.

For the N150 Daewoo Nexia model, the following low beam lamps received the maximum number of reviews:

Mtf-Light Longlife Standart+30% is a reliable model with a modernized coil, costs about 650 rubles.
Original Line from Osram - characterized by high quality and reasonable price (about 1000 rubles).
KOITO H7 White Beam III – pros: durability, quality, power 100 W, costs 1250 rubles.
Mtf-Light Palladium - xenon effect - the main property of the light bulb, the price is about 1100 rubles.
Narva Range Power White - manufactured according to European standards, belongs to the mid-price segment.

Let's consider the comparative characteristics of high-quality samples of two popular lines of lamp manufacturers (Bosch and Philips) for low beam on the Daewoo Nexia.

Improve headlights on Nexia

Install new headlights. Installing new headlights is a good option if your headlights are completely damaged, for example, with a crack or the reflector has turned black. If everything is fine with them, then try unloading the headlights, that is, installing a relay on the Nexia headlights to improve the voltage on the bulbs, the result will be brighter.

Also, to make the light better, installing xenon in the Nexia will help, then the combination of a lens and xenon lamps will allow you to forget about poor road lighting. If you don’t want to break the law (installing xenon yourself is prohibited in the Russian Federation), then another option will help - install other light bulbs. Yes, there are light bulbs from osram or philips that really improve the light, usually they have special markings on them.

No matter how trivial it may sound, installing additional lighting will help improve lighting. Try installing fog lights if you don't have them or adding external lamps.

If your car is not that old, you can try polishing the headlights. At first, the light will improve and the road will become better visible.

If you know another way to improve the headlights on the Daewoo Nexia, then write in the comments below

Replacing the lens in the headlight of Daewoo Nexia n150

Good day! After running 150t.km. the front optics were a little tired, which especially affected the low beam. Well, in general, the standard story for Nexias... There are 2 ways out of this situation, but each has its own advantages and disadvantages: 1) replacing headlights with new DEPO ones is quick, simple, but a little expensive (7600 rubles) 2) replacing low beam lenses, which is what I did did. It seems cheaper, but not everything is so simple...

So, to replace the lenses you need the Morimoto Mini H1 Metall 2.5-inch lenses and adapter frames for the N150. I bought all this stuff in the store xenonru.ru/. With delivery it came out to RUR 3859.

Standard N150 lenses are made for H7 lamps. Morimoto made under H1. Although the kit included adapters for H7 (and that’s how people install it), I decided that since the lens was designed for the H1 lamp, then this particular lamp should be installed in it. Otherwise, suddenly some focal length will move due to the different position of the filament... Additionally, we get the fact that the near and far lamps are interchangeable. (H1 is also there) Which means you can only keep the H1 lamp in stock. I hope I didn't confuse you))

Lamps for low beam took mediocre ones, PHILIPS Vision Plus 60% ( 12258VPS2

) 475 rub./2 pieces. During my last visit to the body shop, my headlights were polished. 1000 rub. for 2 lights.

I didn’t experience any problems when removing the headlights; an open-end wrench set to “10” and a Phillips screwdriver helped)) The headlight mount under the turn signal, which is the most inaccessible, I tore off from both headlights in the cold. Well, everything holds up perfectly on the remaining three fastenings, and not only for me.

When disassembling the headlight, the video from susskiy was very helpful. Very detailed, thank you!

In terms of external and internal features, both headlights are genuine Korean AMS. Which is not surprising, since the car is from the early batches of the N150.

When opening the right headlight, the following was discovered:

Comparison of Morimoto mini and AMC lenses: Left - Morimoto, right - AMC

And immediately mounted the H1 lamp

In the new lens, the curtain is controlled, that is, when the high beam is turned on, it rises and the low beam in this mode turns into high beam. I extended the wires for controlling the curtain solenoid, and also made an insert into the high beam wiring. Isolated. But I haven’t started connecting yet. Now it is not necessary to disassemble the headlight when I want 4-high beams.

Since I put the H1 lamp in the low beam, for this I need to make adjustments to the wiring:

Description

Kit for replacing standard lenses of a Daewoo Nexia N150 with factory halogen headlights.

Why do the headlights on the Daewoo Nexia shine poorly?

Owners of cars with standard lenses often face the problem of losing their headlights. It lies in the fact that over time, the reflector of the factory lenses burns out, and the module gradually ceases to illuminate the roadway. And simply replacing lamps is not enough. If you realize that the low beam of your car is not satisfactory, and the headlights on the road are visible dimmer and dimmer, then it’s time to think about replacing the lenses.

How to improve the light of Daewoo Nexia?

We offer not only to restore the factory headlights of your car, but also to improve it with the help of our branded Vision Highbright G5 lenses. And to make it easier to install new modules in standard holes, we have developed special transition frames for a specific car. The purpose of these frames is to combine the factory holes into which the old lenses were fixed with the holes of the new modules. Thus, you significantly simplify the installation process, while maintaining the position of the lenses and the horizon, and also do not violate the reliability of the headlight design.

What lenses are suitable for replacement?

The set is adapted specifically for Daewoo Nexia N150 cars with factory halogen headlights. The price is for a complete set for both headlights.

Bi-xenon lenses Vision Highbright H1 * 2 pcs;
Lamp mounting spring H1 * 2 pcs;
Wiring for connecting the curtain * 2 pcs;
Transition frames * 2 pcs.

As a result of the replacement you get:

Improved light quality - a high increase in brightness, as well as a clearer GH;

Wider beam - resulting in increased visibility of roadsides and exits;

Brighter high beam - All our lenses have a low/high beam control curtain. If desired, you can always easily connect it.

Reliability - first of all, all modules are manufactured with high quality control. All sets come with a guarantee. And you can forget about problems with light for many years.

You increase visibility at night by illuminating not only your lane, but also the entire road surface, as well as roadsides and exits; pedestrians and animals are better visible. Remember that good light is not only about tuning or fashion, but above all about your safety while driving.

This kit is designed to replace burnt-out standard Daewoo Nexia N150 lenses with bihalogen modules.

How to improve headlights on Daewoo Nexia

Novice drivers who do not have at least minimal experience and knowledge of the internal structure of individual components and assemblies are recommended to contact professionals at the nearest service center.

Headlight adjustment

On the Daewoo Nexia, this procedure is performed as follows:

The tire pressure is adjusted to normal;
The machine is placed opposite the wall at a distance of 5 meters;
A load weighing 5 kg is placed in the luggage compartment, and the driver’s seat is made heavier by 75 kg;
Then special markings are made on the wall or a screen is mounted to adjust the headlights;
The axial longitudinal line of the car must be located according to the zero mark of the screen;
The H value on the screen is equal to the height from the middle of the headlights to the floor;
The corrector control on the instrument panel is set to “0” mode, which will be close to testing a car with one driver;
The low beam turns on;
The headlights are adjusted individually; the unused headlight should be covered with thick canvas or other light-proof material.

On Nexia, released before 2008

Adjustment process

Many car enthusiasts do not know how to adjust headlights on a Daewoo Nexia, and turn to a car service center, where it is not so cheap. But, this process can be carried out at home, with a minimum amount of necessary materials and tools.

So, to complete the process you will need a garage or just a flat wall, chalk and a little time. In fact, the whole process can be completed in half an hour, if you don’t rush at all. For those who don’t want to go through the hassle of drawing lines, special canvas screens with already drawn lines are sold. Having settled in with everything you need, you can proceed directly to the process.

Daewoo Nexia headlight design

In this post I will tell you about very useful manipulations that will help you improve your light (it helped me a lot). I forgot to take half the photos during the process, so I had to borrow them from another site.

Dear reader, if you don’t want these long backstories and all sorts of stories, but just want to understand what needs to be done, scroll to the moment OPERATIONS START :-D, but if you understand electrical engineering, then this diagram will be enough for you:

A brief background, I drove the car for a couple of years, but there was always very little light, even though the headlights were adjusted, it was still a little dark. I had even come to terms with it, I thought that, well, this is a design that, in principle, there will never be more light here.
