Lighter SocketApril 2009 (Addition)It is very useful to have a source of power in the car when using a SatNav or for charging a mobile phone, etc. A simple and inexpensive option is to add a cigarette lighter socket which seems to have become the 'standard' power supply for accessories. These are readily available from suppliers such as Vehicle Wiring Products.)
The only problem was where to mount it? I initially rigged it up for temporary
use by connecting up the purple (live) and black (earth) spare cables included
in the supplied NG loom for a dash light or radio feed. After using it dangling
several times I finally mounted it behind the dash, hidden from view, just beside
the heater controls and under the speedometer. A simple aluminium L-shaped plate
was fabricated and screwed to the back of the dashboard so that the socket points
downwards.The result is a very practical addition with nothing to detract from the look of the dashboard.
