How do I remove my cigarette lighter?

[jazzyb88]

Hello,

Sorry to bring up this old thread but I am struggling with the same thing!

I googled some pics of the cigarette lighter to see if i might see where the tabs are but could not.

Here are some pics of the lighter in my car. Does the silver part need to come out first (the lighter assembly) or does the entire socket come out i.e. including the black surround?

Thanks!
