Front Ashtray to Storage Bin Swap

[clex2]

I've never used my front ashtray for anything. I don't smoke, and the ashtray is small. I saw that on some Euro and Japanese ti's they had a storage bin instead of the flip lid ashtray. After scouring realoem, I ordered the part (#51-16-8-193-147). Incredibly, it cost me only $12. I was surprised to find that the part actually consists of the whole front black plastic trim and included a new cigarette lighter receptacle and the bin insert. The black trim piece is nearly identical to the stock ashtray version, except the flip lid and the retracting mechanism are not there and in it's place is the storage bin. You'll have to swap the amber light that illuminates the clear ring aroung the cigarette lighter. I suppose you could just get the bin and remove all lid and mechanism, but I couldn't find the part number for just the bin in the ETK, but the bottom of the bin does have a part number which doesn't show up in the ETK.
