Flouese & Justin327,

I used this link for instructions:

Cigarette lighter replacement

It is a very easy project. I was most concerned about prying off the panel and breaking something since it is plastic but I used a plastic pry tool and it popped right off. I had ordered the part beforehand and had it as a reference as to how the parts snap together which helped to know how to remove the old parts from the panel.

New one is standard size so much better for fitting chargers and such in them. I don't actually need the lighter itself. I don't have the ashtray either, replaced it with the little delete unit and like that much better.

Good luck,

Dave

I'm dying my rear carpets black with Rit dye. They had sun bleaches until it looked like the car had gray hair. Well see how they look after they dry.

I could never get Rit dye more than dark purple. It may look black in the shade, but definitely purple in the sun.
