Cigarette Lighters
What options are out there for different cigarette lighters than stock ones?

Re: Cigarette Lighters
Just about any lighter will work. Go to the salvage yard, find one you like and stick it in the dash.

Re: Cigarette Lighters
My dad's truck (now mine) didn't come with one. I guess it was an option then. Anyway, he turned that space into a manual choke.
I bought an original lighter off of here but I'm not sure what I'm going to do with it. I'd like to keep things the way dad put them but I also want a lighter. I don't even smoke! |

Re: Cigarette Lighters
if you look hard enough in jy's you can find lighters that have a narrow amber ring around them(like a lens) . and on the socket assembly theres a light bulb fixture.
it only illuminates a small ring around the lighter when the headlight switch knob is pulled on. a cool feature on some chevys. i have a setup like this i cobbled together for my 67 but i have no pics of it yet.

Re: Cigarette Lighters
I am going to make mine into a plug for my Iphone to play music through my radio. I have a radio that looks nearly like stock but the innerds are modern and it has a lead coming out of the back that you can plug in your Ipod or Iphone for music.
