The black tabs are on the outside part of the lighter socket that hold it to the plastic fascia piece. A right angle hook tool is pretty much a small much that has the last half inch bent at a right angle to the rest of the shaft. You could use a dental pick tool too and those are sometimes for sale at automotive parts stores. YMMV
Good luck and hope it helps.
