New lighter sockets

[symbiosis]

Hi all

On my facelift estate the only front lighter socket is tucked away in a really awkward place (see photo) and is always on.

I want to add a couple of additional lighter sockets that are more easily accessible (I know i could have an extension from the original but wires are messy and easy to accidentally yank out and it would still be always on) for my phone charger, heated seat etc

I'm thinking of sighting them in the hollow just below the gear stick (easy to wire into as I can remove the gear surround and get my hand in) - what do you think, a good place for them or too unsightly? 

Cheers

LOL - Exactly!! Seems the obvious place I reckon? Did you have to file down the raised strips for it to fit?

[StephenFord]

No! Just drill suitable size hole, and push in...😀

And jobs a good un and I now have music from my phone, somewhere to plug in my heated seat cover etc

You can never have too many sockets! From my new single switched one, I now have access to 6 x sockets and a USB slot. I can now run my:

TPMS & DAB Radio & bluetooth Handsfree & SatNav & phone charger.

Of course all you modern guys will have all this built in!
