easy, i found out accidentally. I had my cell phone charger plugged in and turned it ( the lighter plug portion ) counter-clockwise to adjust it, and the whole thing started unscrewing. If you dont have one of those, just put your finger in there and press down hard, but it unscrews.

As far as you lights not working, check the wires, or the bulbs might have burnt out.

mine was dismantled when i got the car - i took out the ashtray and stereo console (not a big deal) and was able to screw back together the whole lighter assembly like new.
