Cigarette lighter removal?
I'm in the process of removing the forward console bezel (the one that surrounds the radio and AC control). I have the bezel loose but cannot completely remove it due to interference from the rear cigarette lighter.
How does this bloomin lighter come out? It doesn't screw out, there is no clip, it's not a pressure fit.
HELP!

The cigarette lighter is not your problem.
Pop off the little vent by the ignition switch an remove the T15 screw, There's another T15 screw by the cigarette lighter.
The electrical connector pops off the lighter.

Disconnect it from the back really easy. Once you have everything else loose you can get your hand back there and voila. I've done mine several times. If the above doesn't work here you go.

Yet that didn't work either!
