In the automotive context, a cigarette lighter is a device that provides a source of ignition for cigarettes. It typically consists of a heating element that glows when an electric current passes through it and a receptacle that holds the cigarette.
Replacing a cigarette lighter in a car is a relatively simple task that can be completed in a few minutes with a few basic tools. The old lighter must be removed, and the new lighter must be inserted into its place. It is important to follow the manufacturer’s instructions for your specific vehicle to ensure that the replacement is done correctly.
