1. Check the fuse by seeing if glove compartment light or license-plate lights are working.

You should be able to easily wiggle it out with two small knifes, or two skinny screwdrivers.

That happens Paul when you use your lighter to warm up your CHEEZE sandwich.

Had this same problem in my old A8. Just depress the safety switch on the driver's door arm rest b/w the window swiches and it should pop out w/i several seconds. Now, if only I could get an answer, rather than an obnoxious flame, on how to switch out my front head rests on my S8...
