Removing the cig. lighter assembly... - 6G Celicas Forums

I've tried and tried to pop out the cig. lighter assembly but I've had NO luck. Unplugging it was no problem but anything after that is hopeless for me. How do I get that thing out?!
you kinda got to turn it a little, and push from the back side. >wink.gif>. give that a shot. see what ya come up w/.

I just took mine out about 10 minutes ago...
ill post pics of what you need to do tonight
Don't worry about it. This is an old thread, and I have gotten it out since I first posted >biggrin.gif>
I was wondering if i wanted to put some gauges where the cig. lighter and that little hole or power mirrors switch (depending on the model), like the water and/or fuel 2" autometer guages, without to many problems?
I wouldn't think it would be that difficult. I myself haven't installed any gauges. Probably all you would have to do aside from normal installation is cut or sand down the hole to a wider diameter to fit the gauge.
Got a question. how do i tell, once i disconnect the cig lighter, which lead from the battery is positive(+) and which is negative(-)? i'm wiring a switch in to control a neon light and i have power spliced off the wires running into the back of the cigarette lighter. Only problem is, it won't work!
