April 21st, 2009 06:17 PM #1Does anyone know where i can fix the broken cigarette lighter socket in my car? I went to several places but they said they couldn't fix it for me. I guess the whole socket simply needs to be replaced.

i agree w/ bos hotwheels, better get the whole new shebang if you use your cig lighter frequently.
btw, i had the urge to replace my stock & perfectly fine lighter socket 2 weeks ago w/ a jdm socket having a ringlight on it, fortunately (or unfortunately) common sense dictated that "gastos lang iyon!"

A question about cig lighters. Where is the contact point? On the central post (marked in red) or along the raised lip (marked in blue)

I'm modifying a cdrking double lighter socket. As you can see, there's around a 5mm air gap (red arrow) and I need to know where to solder the new contact point.

I can't use the other socket because its too small. I'll use that for my cellphone usb charger
Varta used as replacement battery in German cars ... but they cost double that of Motolite ... not...
Cheaper brands than Motolite but reliable as well
