Description
The Interior Rearview Mirror With Auto-Dimming for the Peugeot 406 provides reliable glare reduction and improved night-time comfort. Intended for PSA vehicles, this mirror uses an automatic dimming sensor to reduce headlight glare from following traffic, enhancing safety and reducing driver fatigue during night or long-distance drives.
Condition: The mirror is fully functional and the auto-dimming feature operates perfectly. There is a minor imperfection on the reflective surface, but the unit performs its electrical and dimming functions without issues.
Features
- Automatic anti-glare (electrochromic) dimming sensor to reduce headlight glare.
- Simple OEM-style mounting for direct replacement on compatible Peugeot 406 vehicles.
- Electrical connector for power and sensor signals — plug-and-play on matching wiring harnesses.
Fitment And Compatibility
This mirror is intended primarily for Peugeot 406 models and for PSA vehicles using the listed part numbers. Customers often search by part number, so please verify fitment against your vehicle’s original code before purchase.
Installation
- Disconnect the vehicle battery before beginning to avoid short circuits.
- Carefully remove the interior trim or cover around the mirror base.
- Release the mirror from the windshield mounting bracket (usually a screw or clamp) and disconnect the electrical connector.
- Install the new mirror by reversing removal steps: connect the wiring, secure the mounting bracket, and replace trim. Check the dimming function and mirror alignment before finishing.
Common Failures And Causes
- Sensor or internal electronics failure due to moisture ingress or corrosion.
- Damaged reflective surface from impact or abrasion — cosmetic but can affect view quality.
- Loose or corroded electrical connectors causing intermittent dimming or loss of function.
- Vehicle electrical faults (blown fuses, wiring issues) that prevent power reaching the mirror.
Service Life And Practical Notes
Auto-dimming mirrors typically last many years but can fail earlier if exposed to moisture, physical damage, or electrical surges. When replacing, confirm the part number and connector type. If trading by part number, check both the mirror code and any secondary numbers to ensure compatibility.
