You can delete the ashtray when you order in Europe. This gives you a cubby hole and the lighter is covered with a flip-upcover that seems to be part of the lighter itself - for those of you with ML's I imagine its something like the power socket in the trunk area.

Its option 304 (well, you can do this on a E, CLK, so I assume you can on a C)

I imagine therefore you have to replace the lighter socket with the MB part with the flip-up cover

So you're saying that even tho it's your car, and smoking irks you....out of principle, a cigarette lighter in your car would still lead to someone(or you) smoking in it?

no, mostly your broad generalization that people w/ principles have no self-control... whatever... and once again,
Actually, it was meant to apply to this TOPIC only (even though it wasn't clear). Thanks anyway for taking offense. :p

I 'borrowed' a cover from a Nisson Maxima and found that the
height of the cover interfered with closing the sliding cover over the cupholder and lighter. Need to find a cover that has low
height, anyone with access to different covers should post the car make of low profile covers.

Found the perfect cap, low profile, white lettering to match the dash lettering, from a Ford Focus.
