Default Replace cigarette lighter with USB QC adaptor..

I have an '11 250 ISC, however I would guess this would pertain to all the IS250 models of similar years. I don't smoke in my car so the cigarette lighter is useless, I wanted to replace it with a USB 3.0 QC port for my various electronics. Does anyone know of a tutorial to pull that part of the console apart to replace it?

Why not buy an adaptor and plug it into the lighter instead of taking the console apart?

It's pretty easy to take the tray out. You can see instructions here (only need to do to step 4) https://www.clublexus.com/forums/is-...le-moving.html

I've had a few adaptors in the past with my other vehicle, gotten the best options and results from replacing the actual lighter, figured I'd do the same in the IS. Thanks for the link, looks a lot easier than I thought.
