its quite simple, the plastic plate that goes over the lighter and over the shifter, can be removed by gently popping it out with a flathead screwdriver. and when you lift the plate up you will see the connection, just disconnect it make sure the two wires dont touch each other. better yet , you can either remove the lighter fuse or disconnect the negative battery cable, to turn the power off, so you dont short circuit something else.and then I believe it unscrews from the plate and you screw the new one on, and plug it in.
