12v socket

Just a quick one ....if I want to replace my cigarette lighter with a 12v USB adaptor is as simple as just removing and replacing ?

I can't think of anything else you'd need to do

Maybe check the polarity but I believe it to be impossible to get it wrong as the connector only fits one way.

I'm talking about removing the complete unit and retrofitting a complete new unit

Ah, I presumed by adaptor.. I've only seen the ones that plug into the the lighter socket so I've no idea. Any chance of a link?

Lol , nowhere near as deep but it only has two wires where as the pug has three in the connector do this is what's throwing me

The plug in adapters are only a fiver in petrol stations. I have a couple of them and so far so good they do the job, even in the 24v lorry.

Yeah I'm being a bit fussy and want to do a proper job ...the cig lighter in my car is disgusting and has been very well used ( not by me ...never smoke in my cars ) !

Can it be washed? I'd still go for the original as if you replace it with something for 99p you'll probably have to file the hole bigger, chop off the connector and use mickey mouse spades and loose the illumination. These 99p jobbies are for putting another socket elsewhere in addition to the car's existing lighter socket, in the glovebox, boot or wherever.
