Re:cigarette lighter



Andrew Thomas asked about cigarette lights.

Go to any auto parts store and buy a generic lighter.  Maybe $4.00.  Get
one that fits into the existing hole.  You'll need to use a fairly heavy
wire/fuse to hook it up.  They should have some kind of chart showing
recommended lighter circuit fuses, and choose a wire size that'll handle
the fuse amperage.  Pretty simple.  Be sure and fuse it and be sure and use
big enough wire.  I have first hand knowledge of an under-wired lighter !

Doug, who knows how much smoke a burning wire under the dash can make.
