Yes, there is a metal socket that clips to the slots in the side of the housing that holds the lighter to the console and it is a grey wire that goes to the socket.

my 73 has lights in both the cigarette lighter socket and shift plate(auto). they are on seperate circuits though, the cigarette lighter light is only on with the ignition on, the shift plate light on with the rest ofthe dash lights. unless you're like my bubba, then the shift plate light is tied into the headlight warning lamp wire, no idea how that happened. i haven't been in the console in a little while, so forgive me if i'm confused at all.
