    12v Socket

    I am thinking of installing a 12v socket (cigarette lighter) to my Perentie. I've noticed a couple of pin sockets in the dashboard above the gear stick. Can I simply connect the socket to this?

    Electrics is certainly not my forte, I tend to leave stuff that can hurt / kill you alone, so sorry if I'm being particularly thick

    If you mean the red and black electrical connectors on the side of the block containing the dimmer switch, yes.

    I take it you mean to replace the existing connectors with a cig lighter? If so they are connected by bullet connectors which will have to be replaced with spade connectors. The cigarette lighter I used was rated at 15A so I changed the fuse to suit (up from the 10A existing - it's in an inline holder just behind the sockets).

    The cig lighter will be live even when the ignition is off, so don't go leaving things plugged in.

    The usual precaution applies; disconnect the battery.
