Which lighter? I'm assumming the one under dash ?

 

If it is then:

 

1) remove the 2 10mm bolts

2) pull out cupholder & use flat blade to unclip it

3) remove 10mm bolt from behind cup holder

4) remove 10mm bolt from behind cig lighter

5) remove door sill

6) remove nut in footwell to release kick panel

7) remove final screw & pull away the panel

 

then you will see the cig lighter & can splice into it

are you running a head unit from it? it should be quite simple to find the cable for ground and battery+ on the bose loom. grey is ground pink is live i think?

ive sorted it now, im running a new sat nav in the place of the old one, i was under under the impression that the light green is live because of what it said in the thread in the ice&electronics section. no matter, its done now!
