Cigarette lighter

[SRQJeff]

My SV has had a hole in the dash for a cigarette lighter all this time, but I've never had one. Does anyone know where I can get one that matches the windshield squirter? I don't actually want to use it, but it would look better if I had something plugged in.

There are some aftermarket lighters that are similar to the original, but not exactly the same. Photo is the original type lighter.

Cigar lighter

A couple of years ago I bought a "Cigar" lighter, as they are called on British vehicles, on eBay. There was a thread here discussing where and what to look for.
I looked on UK eBay and found the exact type listed for a Jaguar car from the 60's or early 70's.
The one I found is exactly like the one pictured in Gary T's post.

Yep, you're right, Jim. The one Gary posted is indeed the 'real Mccoy'. It was used in Jaguar cars as well as a few high-end sedans (Aston, Rolls, Bentley, etc.).

They turn up pretty often on eBay and seem to sell for anything from about $25 to $125, depending on how they are listed and how badly two guys want them at the same time. This guy regularly sells them for $50US. I have no idea how exact they are, but they look good in the photo.

Try this, they are local USA and not alot of money under $50 including shipping, I have used these guys before and they are good!
