Installation of second cigarette lighter socket
I have done this with 4 outlet version - and also added a dual USB to a vacant switch position at the front.

Replacing rear interior lights with LED
Once you have removed the reflector they do just pull out - but requires rather more force than you expect and it is quite difficult to get a good grip on the bulb.

Thanks @daiwil @dezufo for your help - I just wasn't pulling hard enough! 🙄 All interior bulbs changed to LED now, looks so much better.

Replacing rear interior lights with LED
When you replaced the bulb, did it just pull out? And is it a W5W fitting?

Replacing rear interior lights with LED
If it *is* a W5W type bulb then they should pull out relatively easily (like a sidelight bulb). There looks to be a blue 'collar' at the base of the bulb which makes me think it could be a different type of socket. I've not had chance to retry removing the reflector yet.

Replacing rear interior lights with LED
Has anyone succesfully replaced the rear interior lights (the ones in the air vent outlets) with LED's? I understood they are W5W bulbs, and although I have (eventually) removed the lens cover I cannot get the bulbs out. They are surrounded by a metal shield which makes it impossible to grip the bulb, and only one side of the shield seems to detach - again not providing sufficient space to pull the bulb. I dont want to apply too much force for fear of breaking something. What am I doing wrong? 😬
