I recently came across this Fiat cigarette lighter on eBay and decided to gamble $18.95 on one. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Fiat-124-X-...Parts_Accessories&hash=item2a3a07c9e9&vxp=mtr
I have a stock Casco lighter, but given their current value (IIRC, a good one now goes for $100-150) I didn't like leaving it sitting in the car, least some passerby decides it would make a nice souvenir.
Below are a couple of photos showing the Fiat lighter and the Casco lighter, side by side.
Not quite correct, but close enough for everyday use. I may try polishing the knob to make it still closer to stock, but doubt that is worth the effort. Hell, my car is never going to be a show car, so the correct lighter may just get put away until I have a car that justifies it! I didn’t include any photos of the stock receptacle. That isn’t as good a good match, as the stock one didn’t have the lighted ring and had more chrome. Still, you could install it without the ring if you were trying to keep it stock-ish and it would look very close.
I will also add that Dave, the eBay seller is a very good guy to work with. He's even a former Alpine owner! He has 4 of these left, if anyone is interested.
