'35 cigar lighter short/falure?

[hueyhoolihan]

those 12v and 6v cigarette lighter sockets are very useful for purposes other than lighting cigarettes with a hot coil. just about every car has at least one of them in there. i use mine with an insert that functions as a USB port for charging my phone. there is no inherent risk at all with wiring them up unless you plan to insert a cigarette coil in them and let it corrode such that when it's pushed in it won't pop back out.

be reasonable folks.
