ripped_fear Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 Is there a guide for removing the cigarette lighter out of the dash pannel? All I can find is two threads asking the same question with no definitive guide. Its a sod of a job but I'm sure its a simple thing if you know trick. Anyone able to help?

j_jza80 Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 It's a pain Remove dash panel completely Remove grey plastic bulb holder from rear of lighter. It twists out. Pull black plastic surround off. Push the back of the metal part, while twisting is using your fingers on the other side. It will eventually push all the way out. Depress the 2 grey plastic lugs on the surround, and push It out from the rear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
