Thanks!

Pull! It's just held on with clips. Carefully pull towards you at the bottom. You can also pry a with a panel clip remover if you have one but be carefull not to mark it up. The clips are really strong on that sucker.

Thanks!


Worked like a charm. I pulled so hard I thought it would break (like my tailgate handle trim :( ), then it poppe right off!

just use a small screwdriver with a rag under it so you dont mark the console . I just had mine out yesterday i added a plug for my cell phone. http://dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Cool.gif

I'd like to take the lighter out and replace with a cell phone plug. Anyone happen to have a part number for the cell phone plug?

What is a cell phone plug"? I thought it was the lighter?

Yeah, my cell phone charger works in the lighter and the spare power port.
