To replace the backlight bulb of the cigarette lighter located on the centre console, near the radio, first extract the radio using the appropriate extraction keys: these are two steel elements shaped so that, once inserted into the designated holes on the sides of the radio, they release the fixing clips and allow for removal.

Once the radio is removed, complete the disassembly of the dashboard by unclipping it from its housing to access the back of the cigarette lighter where the bulb (T5 fitting) is located.
