Cigarette Lighter Illumination Bulb -L28-, REMOVING AND INSTALLING

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

-- Remove the socket. Refer to Cigarette Lighter Socket --, REMOVING AND INSTALLING .
