I wired a 90 degree plug that lies flat into a female 12 v adapter. Works for heated clothing.

Or convert the plug to this system..

After this thread started i just went over the bike and realized that my cig lighter is missing. What you think? some knuckle head took it or it just happen to fall off.

Could be either one. They're known to fall out on their own. I happened to look down just as mine came out and bounced down the highway. Make sure it's pushed in as far as possible. Maybe even tie a tether or leash to it.

+1!! I dropped my keys in a grassy area 2 days after I got the spotlight. That little flashlight is handy! Otherwise I'd be walking around trying to use my cell phone as a flashlight...lol.
Not worried about it getting stolen. Hard to notice it's even there.

What have y'all done.

Maybe it's useless for cigarettes but it does a pretty good job with big fat doobies. <g>
More seriously, lots of gizmos can be powered with it: GPS, MP3 player, XM radio, iPod, cell phone, portable air compressor, etc..................
