ashtray/aux power light needs replaced???

Can anyone please tell me how to replace the ashtray/aux power light ?
I went to local stealership and they said there was a screw in ashtray but there isn't.
Can any one help?
Thank you

Alright, well I had the problem of my Jetta's lighter not working (I use it for a cell phone charger) and I had noticed my ashtray light wasnt working either but I wasn't concerned with that. So I opened up the fuse box (this is located at the end of the dash on the driver's side to acess this you must have the driver's door open) found the fuse for the lighter discovered that it was blown replaced it and both the lighter and the ashtray light worked again.

But, if that is not the case and you actully need to replace the ashtray lightbulb then yes the screw your looking for is in the ashtray. You simply have to remove the red ashtray bowl and shazzam! there it is staring you in the face.

Glad to be of service

Just changed mine
stealership made my buy the whole light unit
all you have to do is remove ashtray (little tight)
remove torx screw
pull unit forward and out
either buy unit or replace bulb
To replace bulb...take unit apart
It uses the same bulb as heater control switch bulb $2.60 but stalership won't tell you that

Good Luck
