Fitment & Compatibility
Intended for Citroën C5 models. Original notes indicate fitment from 2005 and potential compatibility with earlier C5 variants from 2001. Always confirm compatibility using the vehicle VIN or the part numbers 8149WL / EZWD before ordering to ensure correct fit and connector matching.
Replacement Instructions
Typical replacement procedure: remove the interior door trim panel to access the mirror mounting, disconnect the electrical connector, remove the mirror mounting bolts (usually three), remove the old mirror, fit the new mirror and secure bolts, reconnect the electrical plug, test electric adjustment, folding and heating, then refit the door trim. Support the mirror during removal and installation to avoid damaging the paint or door skin.
Common Failure Modes
