To remove the cigarette lighter from the car, it may be easier to take off the section of the dashboard that contains it, allowing for a simpler operation. To extract the lighter from its housing, use a small flathead screwdriver to insert it between the housing and the lighter itself, prying it out. With another small screwdriver, pry from the inside of the lighter by inserting it into the holes.

Once the lighter is removed from its housing, you can replace it with a new one.
