You will have to remove the ashtray assembly and change the bulb from the back.

Is there a bulb in it to change?

I thought it was a sealed amber ring, did a bit of investigation to try and change the illumination to blue. No bulb.

They are difficult to remove. Have a look on ebay there were some blue illuminatated items available for a fiver. Just a small adjustment with a Dremel.

Cigarettes - Yuk!

Mines not a cigarette lighter, it's a socket for the satnav!
