Default So which lighter is actually OEM?

Here I go with my first annoying question (many more to follow, I assure you).

I need to replace the cigarette lighter in my 1986 951. I want the OEM lighter.

Problem is there are several online that look different that all say "OEM style". Anyone know for sure what the OEM lighter looked like? Anyone with a photo or link?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks. That's exactly what I was looking for. I'm thinking about crossing my fingers and ordering this one from Pelican:

Pelican tells the brand they are selling for all products.That one is marked as "genuine porsche" so i would say it's for sure the original thing.Go for it !

Got it today. It's 100% correct and I'm pleased.

Only $69.25 for a new lighter when I could have spent $10 for one that was 99% correct. That last 1% can be a killer.

Does it look like the one catamax posted? I'd like to replace mine, but I'm up in the air about either the OEM one or finding a US version that fits. I'm tired of everything falling out of the EU sized cigarette lighter!

Yes. It's exacty the same. There are several "oem" lighters offered online but the cigaretts symbools are ever-so-slightly different (and I do mean just barely). This lighter assembly is truly oem.
