lol ok ya burnt not that good... thou i have a friend that would eat them.... human garbage desposal lol.

the cigar lighter light is nice though.. the one on the far right side of the dash of my truck doesnt have one. I usally plug my cell phone in over there and set the phone on the glove box door. Speaking of which i need to see if i can find a way to put a light in there ...

But yea for a 16 year old he shouldnt need it.

If you are running aftermarket guages under the dash, its a perfect place for a illumination-wire tap. Thats what I used on mine 15 years ago & no problems. It also dims with the dash lights. :thup:
