The picture should explain it all. There’s the old cigarette lighter, the new cigarette lighter, and I would like instructions on how to connect to the new one. Thank you

Image didn't make it through. However, for the front lighter there is a large nut on the back that comes off, then the outer shell connection with the center pin will come off, now push in on the tabs that hold the washer in place and pull the lighter out. If you have the rear one, it's easier as it just has a large sleeve that unscrews and a push on connector. They don't interchange though so if you bought one like the rear unit it won't be a direct fit.
