Or, this one for free...
... which you can DIY.
Just get a free 1" sample piece of plastic sleeve (tubing from Home Depot - Plumbing Dept./Irrigation)
Cut to length and make the two cutouts for the grounding springs.

But how?
I bought the replacement, but I'm afraid to admit that I have no clue as to how to replace it... there were no instructions... Is it that easy to replace? Please help!

The panel the lighter is in pops off so you can access the back components. Use something smooth, like a wooden tongue depressor, to pop the panel so you do not mar it or the dash and you will be fine..............

I installed these in both of my Boxsters, highly recommended. Plus you can install a second one on the left side.

Paul, Do you mean there is pre-existing wiring for the left side?
