Cigarette Lighter Illumination Bulb -L28-, REMOVING AND INSTALLING

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2023 Volkswagen Arteon. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

NOTE:

On some vehicle equipment, illumination is not produced by incandescent bulbs but rather by LEDs. This LED is securely connected to the adapter sleeve and cannot be replaced separately.

There are more versions for adapter sleeves with a bulb. One version allows separate replacement of the illumination bulb, and another where the bulb cannot be serviced or replaced separately. In this scenario the bulb holder with bulb must be replaced.

Removing
