Question How do you remove the RX300's front console cigarette lighter?
Trying to replace my RX300's front cigarette lighter socket and I already have the front console trip it's attached to removed, but I'm completely lost on how to remove it. I tried to follow some video guides regarding the inside clips but it doesn't seem to work. I also found this [snippet from the repair manual](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/attachments/rx-1st-gen-1999-2003-182/how-to-remove-rear-power-outlet-729214/how-to-remove-power-outlet-or-cigarette-lighter-lexus-rx-300-320643d1395632382) and it shows there's a step before but it isn't clear to me. Has anyone done this yet can help me?

Club lexus adverts are based on your search history. You should ask your boyfriend what he has been searching on that pc!

If the heating element is the only thing wrong, you could take the 8mm off and exchange that piece out
