Fit Base 12V accessory socket replace questions

Does anyone know how to remove the panel that the 12V accessory socket is mounted in?
If there is room, I want to mount 2 more sockets, next to the orig.

If you do this, either use a relay off the factory wiring and use battery power, or limit your power draw to 10 amps.

I have a 150watt power inverter, and while I have NOT blown a fuse yet, the wire does get warm. So the only time I plug my laptop in is if Im on very low battery and need to get a few more minutes of use from it.


Keep in mind, if you use a relay, then your power limit once the battery wire is hooked up is limited to the accessory you install. Most are 10-20 amps at max, so you may have to run 2 seperate if you run two plug sockets
