I think to replace them you have to remove the appropriate trim. I did have photos but deleted them due to lack of storage on my Flickr account. On my C5 that meant removing the stereo and going from there. If there's an easier way I didn't find.

Hope that helps.

Steve.

Thanks Steve. I got the job done successfully. I removed the (soft) trim around the gearstick, then the outer trim (around the gearstick). which gives access to the cigarette lighter. There are 2 screws at the lower base of the trim sorrounding the heater controls, radio, etc. By removing the two screws and the screws holding the radio in place gave me access to the ashtray, and the ashtray bulbholder.
