If you take a small flat blade screw driver and bend the metal part in a little, you can remove the socket without breaking the plastic tabs.

  Good luck,

  If you remove it, you will break it. 99.9% Guaranteed. If you want to
try, you have to push the green plastic "catches" out from inside of
the lighter (they snap into the metal cylinder) enough so the metal
part can slide forward, out of plastic light assembly.
