They work really well, only thing with them is that they have a glowing hot element inside so if you don´t make sure that they are clean they might catch fire. All I have seen have been dealer installed.

Thanks for the info... I wasn't sure how it wired in ill probably just clean I up and mount it just for the fact that I think it's cool and never seen one... The cord was broke off so I wasn't sure where the wire went... Now I know. Thank you

something i thought about ....
using it is decieving,
your car might be warm but the block isn't
so you may drive warm ,but cause damage cause the engine is still cold
heck a small square room heater does the same thing,
most turn off when tipped,or reach temp,older ones don't
but consider a block heater,so the block is warm too
