Cigarette Ash Tray Bulb

[Pitbull]

Seems to have blown but cant figure out how to get it out to replace it. I had to super glue the leather gear stick gator down a few months ago as i snapped a clip on it. Doesnt seem to be a fuse as the lighter itself is still working. Any ideas how to get to and resolve this issue??

I take it you've took out the cup holders and got in behind the cigarette lighter?

IIRC there's easy access to the bulb once you've pulled it all out.

pull the ashtray out first, but the bulb holder is hard to remove. I actually broke mine a little bit, but still work. see pic for your reference.

Oh sorry, yes cup holder as well.

30 mins of scratchin my head last night resolved in one sentence...Cheers.

So does the bulb come out of this plastic fitment or do i buy this piece in one??

See the pic I post, the bulb can come out.

Do you have hard time to slide the bulb holder out from the orange tube thing???

Yes was a pain, but not as bad as putting it back on , i snapped the grey bulb holder in half :S , but on the bright side, 99p job done. Thanks for replies.

yes, I was thinking how to get the grey bulb holder out.
But try to secure the grey holder after fitted. Bad contact may make the bulb not work.

Good stuff.

You soon learn that generally pulling on things within your Clio will mean it'll come off/out. Think of it as badly assembled Lego
