Hi

i find it had to see my cigarette lighter socket at night, now this wouldnt be a problem because i dont smoke but i do need to charge my sat nav and i cant see where the socket is without switching the reading light on, are the sockets ment to be lit up?

Hooded Claw - those bulbs aren't quite right IMHO - the size/format is correct, i.e. capless, but they should be 12V, 1.2W not 6.5V like the ones in the packet.

You need to remove the lighter assembly - I think you can get to it by lifting the coin tray, if not then lift the whole centre console. Quite easy - I did it, detailed in my "Pride & Joy" thread somewhere.

Cheers

yup, lift the coin tray out and then you can push the cig lighter out from below and replace the small bulb
