Description
Left driver-side exterior mirror for Peugeot 307. Electrically operated and heated, with electric folding to the vehicle. Color KKN – Aden Red paint. Connector: 7-pin (5+2).
Overview
High-quality left (driver) exterior mirror designed for Peugeot 307 vehicles. This unit provides electric adjustment, integrated heating for rapid de-icing/defogging, and an electric folding mechanism for improved protection in tight parking situations. The mirror is supplied in color code KKN (Aden Red) and features a 7-pin (5+2) electrical connector. Commonly searched under product code 8149VV and reference KKNB.
Key Benefits
- Direct fit for matching Peugeot 307 models (see Technical Information).
- Electric heating speeds up demisting in cold or wet conditions.
- Electric folding reduces risk of damage when parking and improves clearance in narrow spaces.
- 7-pin connector preserves original wiring for fast replacement without splicing.
- Color-matched finish (KKN Aden Red) for a factory appearance.
How It Works
The mirror houses an electric actuator for mirror glass adjustment, a resistive heating element behind the glass to clear frost and condensation, and an electric folding motor assembly. Signals travel through the 7-pin connector (5 pins for adjustment/heater and 2 pins typically for folding or additional functions depending on vehicle wiring) to operate each function from the cabin controls.
Replacement Procedure
Recommended for experienced technicians or competent DIY mechanics. Typical replacement steps:
- Disconnect the vehicle battery to avoid short circuits and protect vehicle electronics.
- Remove the interior door trim or triangular cover to access mirror fasteners and electrical connector.
- Disconnect the 7-pin electrical connector and remove mounting nuts/bolts securing the mirror to the door.
- Remove the old mirror, fit the new unit in position and secure fasteners to the manufacturer’s torque specification.
- Reconnect the electrical connector and reconnect the battery.
- Verify full functionality: mirror adjustment, heating operation, and folding mechanism. Check for correct fit and panel alignment.
Installation Recommendations
Always follow manufacturer safety procedures. Use proper trim tools to avoid breaking door clips and take care around side airbag modules—if the vehicle is equipped with airbags, consult vehicle service literature before removing trim. Ensure connector pins are clean and undamaged; apply contact cleaner if necessary. After installation, test all mirror functions and check for noise or binding in the folding mechanism. If bodywork was repainted, verify color match (KKN Aden Red) before final assembly.
Why This Part Fails Most Often
- Impact Damage: Collisions or knocks while parking are the most frequent cause of mirror failure (broken housing, cracked glass, bent actuator).
- Water Ingress and Corrosion: Moisture can corrode electrical contacts or short motors/heaters, causing intermittent or permanent failure.
- Wear Of Folding Mechanism: Repeated folding/unfolding and mechanical stress can wear gears or motor brushes over time.
- Connector Issues: Pin corrosion or damaged wiring at the 7-pin connector can disable one or more functions.

Final Advice
If replacing after an impact, inspect the door mounting area and wiring harness for hidden damage. For a neat cosmetic result, verify paint code KKN (Aden Red) and consider professional painting if exact color matching is required. After fitting, perform a full functional check and adjust mirror position as needed.
