You cant just change the bulb ,they come as one piece unit with the holder
Easiest way is to get another ashtray bulb and holder then fit a 3mm capless led bulb in it (ill try and find the right ones ?)

the lighter only lights up though when the lighter is out its not fair

All you need to do is remove the filament bulb from the holder and slap a wedge type LED in there IIRC :-k
