I am installing a carbon fiber console that does not have the cut-out or mounting points for the ash tray. This is not an issue since I don't smoke, and the ash tray is too small for storage, but I do want to keep my cig lighter so I can charge a phone/GPS/air compressor, etc...
Does anybody have any suggestions for how/where I can mount the cig lighter socket that will look cool?
I was going to mount it under the stereo on the L side of the console (about where your top knuckle is pointing when you are in 1st gear), and leave the plastic ring around it so it will glow when the lights are on, but the ring does not illuminate very evenly, so I don't think that looks very good. I can always just take the plastic ring off and mount the plain metal socket into the console, but I was hoping for something a little more "slick".
I searched the forums and pics to trying to see what others have done with their 12v sockets, but wasn't really able to find anything. Any suggestions anyone has would be appreciated. OR, if anyone knows how to get the plastic ring around the socket to glow with even intensity all the way around, that would solve my problem too!!!
I can also take pics if that will help everyone get an idea of what I'm talking about.
Thanks.
