Description
Overview
Heated Left Mirror Glass designed for Citroën C5 (2001–2007). This is a glass-only replacement for the left-hand exterior mirror with an integrated heating element. It is a direct-fit part commonly searched by product code 8151EU and intended for professional workshops and experienced DIYers.
Features and Function
The integrated heating element accelerates de-icing and defogging, improving visibility in cold or wet conditions. This item replaces the mirror glass itself and does not include the mirror housing, adjustment motor, or mounting plate. The replacement restores the reflective surface and the heating function when installed correctly.
Common Failure Modes and When to Replace
Typical reasons to replace the mirror glass include impact damage or cracking, delamination of the reflective layer, and failure of the heating element or its electrical contacts. Corrosion of connector clips and physical wear can also cause intermittent or total loss of heating and should prompt replacement.
Basic Replacement Guide
Recommended tools: plastic trim tool or flat pry tool, flat screwdriver, and protective gloves. General steps: adjust the mirror to access the inner edge, carefully pry the glass from its retaining clips, disconnect the heating connector, fit the new heated glass and press gently until it clicks into place, then test mirror heating and adjustment before driving. If unsure, follow the vehicle service manual or seek professional installation.
