Description
Sun Visor With Mirror And Light For CITROËN C5 I And II, Right Side, Passenger. This Is A Used Part – Slight Soiling Possible.
High-quality replacement sun visor for the passenger side of Citroën C5 first and second generation. The unit includes an integrated vanity mirror with an illuminated lamp, making it a practical repair part for workshops and DIY mechanics. Commonly sought under the part code 8143NQ, this visor restores cabin comfort and functionality after damage or electrical failure of the original component. The used condition means minor surface soiling may be present, but the visor is structurally intact and ready for installation.
Designed for mechanics and experienced DIYers, this passenger sun visor is ideal when the original visor is cracked, the hinge is loose, the mirror cover is broken or the light no longer operates. Replacing the visor is a cost-effective way to recover interior ergonomics and convenience without replacing the entire overhead assembly.

Fitment Details
Intended For Citroën C5 First And Second Generation (commonly referenced as C5 I and C5 II). Confirm fitment by matching the part visually to the existing visor and checking the mounting bracket orientation: right side, passenger position. This visor is typically compatible across standard interior trims for these generations.
Function And Typical Faults
The sun visor provides sun shading for the front passenger, houses a vanity mirror and supplies a small courtesy light for mirror illumination. Typical faults include:
- Broken pivot rod or worn hinge causing excessive play and inability to hold position.
- Damaged mirror cover or cracked mirror glass from impact.
- Electrical failure of the vanity lamp due to a burned bulb/LED or corroded connector contacts.
- Surface wear and soiling from long-term use.
Installation Recommendations
Installation is straightforward for a qualified mechanic or experienced DIYer. Typical replacement steps:
- Fold the visor down and remove any plastic caps covering the mounting screws.
- Unscrew the pivot mounting screws (often Phillips or Torx) and carefully unclip the visor from the bracket.
- If the visor has an illuminated mirror, gently disconnect the electrical connector before full removal.
- Fit the replacement visor by reconnecting the electrical plug, positioning the pivot rod into the bracket and tightening the mounting screws to secure it. Refit any trim caps.
- Test the mirror light and visor movement to ensure correct operation and secure fitment.
Work Safely: Turn the ignition off before disconnecting electrical connectors and avoid forcing plastic trim to prevent damage. Keep mounting screws and small trim caps in a safe place during the swap.
Why This Part Fails Most Often
Sun visors rarely have a fixed service interval; they fail mainly due to mechanical stress and wear. Frequent causes are repeated bending and forceful positioning that wear the pivot or break the retention clips, accidental impact or pressure on the visor or mirror, and electrical issues such as corroded contacts or a failed bulb/LED. Environmental factors like humidity and heat can accelerate connector corrosion or plastic degradation over many years.
Because this is a used part, minor cosmetic marks or light soiling can be present. Mechanically functional units are often the most cost-effective solution to restore passenger-side shading, mirror and light functionality in Citroën C5 vehicles.
