Ended up breaking the orange part on my lighter so I wouldn't bother. Other way would be to whip out the full trim section that houses the lighter.

#9: Re: Cigarette lighter bulb Author: rawills, Location: WalesPosted: Sat Jul 21, 2012 6:38 pm ---- I had to take my cig lighter out when 700 miles from home to charge the satnav. It's not easy to get out as there is something like a sensor on it about the size of a small pencil eraser. i just popped that off with a little persuasion and out came the cig lighter then re-attached it back when new lighter holder was in place.

Remove the window switch / gear gaitor.
You will see a small black plastic bit clipped to the orange bit of the lighter socket, unclip that black piece as thats the bulb holder unit.
OR
Unplug the lighter socket then there's 2 clips holding the metal inner to the plastic outer, slide the socket upwards leaving the orange plastic outer in the console, then remove it through the hole.
Unclip the grey bulb holder from the black housing to get to the bulb.
Whichever way you try its a small, tight & fiddly job.
