I just got it done today, didn't take me long at all. Everything works great & now I can charge 2 things at once and have that OEM look (because it is OEM )

 

Awesome! Little crooked, but looks OEM. Good job.

 

Is the stock fuse gonna be able to handle the draw if you're using both outlets at the same time?

You might have to up the amperage on the fuse a tiny bit.

myke

 

besides being crooked it looks pretty nice, i would up the fuse as suggested.

 

you must be a heavy smoker!

anyway, kudos to having a "problem" and fixing it yourself

it looks like the words light up

 

+rep for do-it-your-self

 

that's cool. good job. can you just twist it to straighten it out though? as they said above, it does look a little crooked.

 

Any handy tips for removing the pannel that the outlets are on?

And it is not that crooked, looks good to me!

 

That's what I thought at first too, then I noticed it was just chromatic aberration around the overexposed letters making it look that way. It would be cool if they did light up though!

 

points for using the 10 dollar words

 

pretty easy, you have to remove the upper panel first though.

 

nicely done, how much was the power outlet?

 

LOL once again the DIY ninjas strike. I'd take the easy way out and get one of these. Triple Cigarette Lighter Socket Adapter for Vehicles<br>3 in 1 Multi-socket power adapter for car or truck

 

it's like $5

 

nice. looks great. i might just have to do something like that.
one in the front and one in the cargo area.

 

Nice little mod.

I got this, and bumping up the fuse slightly would be a good idea in this case, also:

Amazon.com: Wagan Twin USB/DC Cup Holder Adapter: Automotive

It drops right into the left side cupholder in the console. Both barrels light up with a bluish tint, giving illumination to that otherwise dark area of the console, and the battery charge indicator does work (one of the reviewers on Amazons incorrectly stated that part of the unit is not real).

 

I really like however you might be blowing fuses once you use 2 devices. Y instead of linking the two poles together, why not create a second fuse for the second cig lighter?

 

I'm doing just fine. I've been charging my GPS unit & iPhone simultaneously for a week now.
