Important! : removing cigarette lighter from console

  1. #1
    hello

    in the process of removing the bits from my old console and I've done it all apart from the cigarette lighter, I got it out of the car that I got my new console out of but I can't seem to figure it out again
    is there a clip etc?

    help needed quick as i need the car back in working order

    thanks for your help all

    twist and pull mate, they can get pretty stuck in there but just show it some brute force

    Yeh the metal piece inside the cig lighter comes out first if u look at it from back u have too twist it into a certain position then it slides out of the front , the piece with the bulb in it comes off then the green plastic piece is held in with a couple of clips just push them in with a screwdriver and that will pop out the front too .hope this helps

    cheers, got it off, hit it with the butt of a screw driver and it slipped out.there was what looked like a blob of hot glue there lol.
    all back in and looking much better than the original plain black.
