How To Remove Cigarette Lighter From Yaris Facia

[sx_100]

Hi All,

Can anybody help, I am trying to remove the cigarette lighter unit from the facia so can transfer to new din I have bought any ideas how I can do?

I found it was a complete pain in the a**e to remove. There were a number of clips that hold the lighter in plate in the fascia, which dont allow for any movement. They are obviously inserted from the front, so the only way to remove them is the way they came out.

Anyway, best bet is to remove the fascia from the dash and attempt to remove it in your garage or something, along with plenty of small flatblade screwdrivers! Thats the way I struggled to get it out!
