Unclip and lift up/remove the gear stick gaiter. Insert yer figgins and pop the lighter up from underneath. Confucius say man who disconnects battery before removing fag lighter runs less risk of visiting emergency room.

No no no no no!!!!

Just stick yer fingers in the socket, turn the metal barrel about 1/8 turn anticlockwise and pull up (the connector fits through the orange outer cover). Disconnect the connector then the outer orange bit can pull up too.

No need to get behind
