Hi guys, my K9 has an illuminated vanity mirror in the sun visor on drivers side but just a sun visor on the passenger side. My missus would like a mirror on the passenger side, illuminated mirror preferred but plain mirror would be OK.
Any suggestions?
Could I fit a sun visor from a LHD vehicle, would that do it?
Thanks for any suggestions,
Matt

Pretty sure that would work Matt. I had the same complaint with the B9, my mirror was lit and hers wasn't - she was not amused!

Interesting, so it's not simply that all sun visors on the right have illuminated mirrors and those on the left don't?

I think the drivers sides are always lit mate. So getting a LHD one would give you both, I expect the wires are there on both sides but never actually checked.

I was curious if it was a LHD/ RHD thing where they only produced the parts for LHD (French etc) models.

I'm not certain but I have a feeling it's the driver they give the lit mirrors to. Worth searching eBay France?

Just clarify, there's not even a mirror on the passenger side currently.
I'm off to search ebay now

Hello, did you get this resolved? I have the same problem, no mirror or light on the passenger side, I'm happy to buy a new one from citroen but does such a thing exist?
It is one of the most ridiculous things I have seen in years, a new car with only one mirror, and on the 'wrong' side !

Search eBay maybe. We all bought ours on there. Not cheap mind and a lot of trash was waded through till I found a clean passenger side visor with a mirror. Was a touch under £40 used

It’s easy (and cheap) to buy a stick on mirror, which is what we did on ours. OK it is not lit, but it is a lot bigger than the normal one, and my wife likes that!
