Posts: 965 New York State | Anyone have a Cigerette lighter on their Vision ?
I would like to put one on my dash under the stereo button .
The first unit I bought had a nice waterproof cap but was to deep for the location.
So if you have one the location you used and the type would be a big help |

It too was in the weather all the time and I never had issues with it. It had a fused line directly to the battery if I recall. A story to that is I rode with a guy who rode a Ventura(?) and his lighter wasn't working so we were crusing done I-95 doing around 80 passing cigerettes so I could light and pass it back, or just passing him the lighter. Maybe I should put that on the "bikers behaving badly" thread.

Posts: 599 New Mexico | My powerlet in the 'glove box' came loose and I stripped it trying to get reinstalled. Tomorrow I am going to install a full sized lighter outlet. Believe will just have to drill out the hole bigger, and redo the connection wires. Has anyone done this? Any suggestions/pics?
