Diy: Taking Out R34 Cigarette Lighter

[Charles89]

Hey guys,

I know there are heaps of people out there that has tried to take out the cigarette lighter from a R34 but just ended up being too frustrated and just broke the thing off lol.

So after spending 15mins playing around with it, I worked out how to take it off properly without breaking it. Here's the tutorial with images.

Also, if you have a blown cigarette lighter LED light, you can change it too

but what could you replace the lighter with?

It wasn't about just "replacing" it lol.

I had a friend that needed to transfer his lighter from auto surround to manual surround, that's why I posted up the DIY

Also, it's good for people that might need to change the light bulb

Was without a doubt the hardest part of my manual conversion swapping this over. Like a Chinese brain test.

My plastic ring around the lighter is cracked does anyone know where i can get one?

haha I was struggling with this a couple of weeks ago. I was going to cut out a circle and install a gauge there.

In the end I gave up and deciding to lose the stereo as i needed more space for gauges / water meth controller and some other crap.

Hi,

Is anyone able to provide a written guide or update the images? All threads on the net point to this one, and all the images are broken. There are no written guides anywhere.

thanks

I'd love to know how to get this thing off, I tried for ages the other night and it wouldn't budge.

I only wanted to remove it for painting purposes, instead I taped it up and painted away.

i can't see any of the images, can someone type this up in words?

1. Remove the lighter part (the hand-held piece with the coil)

2. Inside the barrel there should be 2 tiny squares (2mm long) about 5mm in from the top. Each tiny square is opposite the other, with a plastic tab in each. Stab each tab with a small flathead while trying to push the steel barrel out. Do this until the steel barrel sits on top of the tabs.

3. Pry the barrel out from the top (this will probably damage the plastic). Slide the barrel all the way out.

4. Pull the lighter assembly out on an angle - the LED (black square piece behind with separate plug) should act as the pivot point here. It comes out the front.
