cobb_ben · 11-30-2007, 11:21 AM

I can't seem to find pics of cigarette lighters in the dash. I am trying to figgure out how to fill the hole. What was the original. What are other options for the hole?? Thanks so much

You could probably just do an accessory outlet with the flip up cap like they do in new cars now.. now that I think about it, that's not a bad idea for mine as I have a cig lighter in there now.

Thanks for the idea!

72BlckButy · 11-30-2007, 08:34 PM

C10-Driver · 11-30-2007, 10:11 PM

Here is an LED flashlight that plugs into the cigarette lighter. It glows a soft blue when it is in the socket and charging... Take it out and you have a flashlight.

I was actually looking for something else when I found this... They're pretty cool. I think I might get one myself.
