Re: What to do with cigarette lighter hole

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!

Re: What to do with cigarette lighter hole

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.
