    Can anyone tell me how to reach the cig lighter bulb

    Title states it all. Any help appreciated..I've found most of the tutorials I need for the inteiror bulbs I'm replacing with leds, all but this one. I tried searching here and through google, and all I found were posts on broken outlets, not bulb replacement.

    Thanks in advance

    With a trim removal tool or thin flat head undo the shifter trim, remove ashtray then pull out the panel that holds the outlets and ashtray its only clips, you can pull up on the lower part then out. Undo the power harness if you need room, the bulb socket just twists off.

    it is extremely easy. you can remove the whole socket by unscrewing the big metal nut on the back. takes literally 1 minute.
    there is also a light in the ash tray.
