Reply to "How is the Cigar Lighter socket mounted?"

That fragile orange ring has a small light bulb underneath so when the headlights are on (and presumably night time), it glows. That bulb can also be upgraded to no more than 3 watt halogen or LED, like the too-dim instrument lights. I cracked that brittle orange ring when I removed ours from the console, and had to glue it back together for the next owner.
