It is actually fairly easy to remove the cigaret= te lighter from the dash.

While it may not be the preferred or only way of doing it, I= have found that using a wooden or plastic wedge in a prying motion around t= he circumference of the socket works well. IIRC, the lighter is only a frict= ion-fit situation, no pesky screws or other. Limited slack in the wiring, so= when it finally gives proceed with caution.

Just be patient and apply the prying evenly.
