Is the lighter body threaded? If it is then you need to get a pliers & twist the ring. It's definitely mounted from the rear...........

It is not threaded as far as I can tell. It is put together like a Chinese puzzle box. I have taken lighters out of more cars than I can remember. This one is like a bad joke. As you go through the manual it's in the drawings up till the point that you would need to see it. Then it just disappears.

At least here the part is relatively small and I can almost see why they'd make it one part...
Say, why the King Crimson avatar?
Re: Lighter removal, question
If you have a right angle hook tool, take that and there are two tabs that you need to push in. While you are doing this, you need to be pushing the lighter out as well. It's a pretty brute force affair but don't' worry, the tabs are really resilient. We've pulled three of them out this way between myself and jonnyangel. Hope this helps. Are you painting your dash or did your lighter crap out on you?

Mostly 'cause it appears to be a graphical representation of way I usually feel at the end of another day in the world of Information Technology!
Or, because I think it looks fairly cool.
Either explanation will do !
I'm glad you recognize the cover!

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.
