Caution: On sockets without illumination, excessive force may damage the clamping sleeve fastening. Only sockets with illumination can be removed using the T40148 puller (cigarette lighters). On sockets without illumination of the clamping sleeve, the puller is not able to release the locks. As a rule, sockets without illumination cannot be removed without damage.
In some vehicle configurations, the backlight is not provided by an incandescent lamp, but by an LED. This LED is rigidly connected to the clamping sleeve and is not replaced separately. There are several versions for clamping sleeves with an incandescent lamp. A version that allows the incandescent lamp to be replaced separately, and a version where separate replacement of the lamp is not possible. Here, the lamp with the socket is replaced. The different internal design of vehicles determines differences in sockets and cigarette lighters. They differ in length and electrical connections. Sockets and cigarette lighters with cable ends may require additional work to get to the connectors.

Removal and installation the cigarette lighter socket
Instructions: Removal and installation of all sockets is performed in the same way and is described using the example of only the cigarette lighter socket.
Remove the cigarette lighter, dummy cigarette lighter, etc. from the socket.
Instructions: For better understanding, the socket is shown in a dismantled state. The socket or clamping sleeve may be damaged. Make sure the puller is positioned correctly, otherwise the clamping sleeve latches will not open.
Insert the puller into the socket in the "arrow" direction so that the latches "1" are fixed in the grooves "2".
Unlock the clamping sleeve latches by pulling the handle "3" in the -direction of the arrow-. Remove the socket from the clamping sleeve with a puller.
Caution: The electrical wiring of the socket may be damaged. When removing the socket, pay attention to the length of the wiring.
Depending on the installation location, it may be necessary to use the 40148/1 "2" mandrel and the knurled nut "1". Disconnect the socket connector.
Unlock the puller latches by pressing the pin "1" in the direction of arrow B-. After this, it is necessary to unlock the ejector "2" by briefly turning it to the left "arrow A". Remove the puller from the socket.
Instructions: Make sure that the puller latches are not spread apart. After heating, the cigarette lighter may jump out of the socket. When inserting the puller, the socket springs are spread apart and the holding torque is reduced. After disassembling the socket, carefully compress the springs again slightly and check that after heating, the cigarette lighter remains in the position for removal.
Carefully compress the springs of the "arrow" socket.
Make sure that after heating, the cigarette lighter remains in the removal position and is not thrown into the vehicle interior.
Installation is carried out in reverse order.
Removal and installation the cigarette lighter illumination lamp "L28"
Instructions: With some vehicle equipment, the backlight is not provided by an incandescent lamp, but by an LED. This LED is rigidly connected to the clamping sleeve and cannot be replaced separately. There are several versions for clamping sleeves with an incandescent lamp. A version that allows the incandescent lamp to be replaced separately, and a version where separate replacement of the lamp is not possible. Here, the lamp is replaced with the socket.
Remove the socket. Press the latches "arrows" and remove the clamping sleeve with the cartridge. Disconnect the cartridge from the clamping sleeve.
Disconnect the cartridge at points "A" and "B". Open element "B" of the cartridge.
Remove the bulb in the direction of the arrow.
Installation is carried out in reverse order.
