I have the piggyback light attachment to my Cigar Lighter. I put a red filter on it from an Autometer gauge. Looks neat at night. Oddly the fancy light is still on, but my Cigar Plug socket has no power. Need to troubleshoot that in near future.
The GPS is the main customer.
I stab the terminal into IGN Unfused on the fuse box. I put a 10@ fuse inline between the terminal and the socket. I have had the Cigar Lighter line short out and burn up insulation on other wires it was bundled up with, so now I use a fuse.
