    The cigar lighter on my 308 QV '85 (US), has a green plastic ring that illuminates when lights are on. I glued and re-glued it several times-the plastic had suffered thermal injuries in the past- and i am now looking for this green cylinder of plastic that fits around this (German made) lighter socket. I visited scrap yards for this illusive part but even the Jetta with the same color of plastic ring have a different lighting system. A German dealer wants 120 Euros for the part (!). Would anyone in this distinguish assembly knows where i could find one?
    Thanks !

    No, i don't smoke...

    Oh well. Mine has the amber light, not green. Sorry.

    Try looking at the older Mercedes from the 70's / early 80's --- IIRC, they had a very similar green lit bezel.

    Maybe some of the Audis from the 80's as well ?

    I know I've seen these on some other cars..... I just can't place it in my memory (too many cars ;)).
