Tried searching the forum and the discussions were very old (10 years back!) Would want to add a 12V socket (or 2 sockets, depends on cost and complexity) at the car boot area - anyone done it before? Any recommendation on workshops that can do it nicely? TIA!

Need some advise here from Home DIYers ( and I don't mean people who DIY at home @chowyunfatt ) My home renovation is about 5-6yrs old. At least 2 of the wall electrical sockets are in this state: I think the black stump that the long screw is drilled into broke off at the base. What are my options to remedy this? (mods, I used the search button for various permutations of what I wanted to find but came up naught. Please help me merge into any of the existing thread as you deem fit.)

Is it due to the fuse and if yes, how much will it caused to change the fuse. Also, any other possible reasons as to why the car cigarette lighter socket is not working?

Leaving car dvr in lighter socket drains power?
Stratovarius posted a topic in Maintenance & Repairs
As topic. This morning found out that my car battery is totally flat. Can't even unlock door using remote. My batt is more than 2 yrs but the cranking sounded normal when i last drove it. i normally leave the car camera plugged into the lighter socket, could this be a reason why the batt is totally drained? Or could it be the alternater issue? -

Hi all, want to check where exactly is the 12V socket located in the car? Also if i want to install a GPS to my car, do i need to buy a cigarette lighter socket and connect to this 12V socket then connect the GPS via this way? I hope this makes enough sense Thanks.

Hi Guys, I have a question on the usage of the cigarette socket splitter. First off, a bad experience: I once bought a 3 Normal Split socket type like the one shown below, plugged phone chargers into it and it worked but when I plugged in a heavy duty vacume cleaner, it totally burn out. Think its the voltage thing. I am a noob at such stuff. So had to buy another one. This time round I purchased another which is slightly different, comes with a Cigarette socket and 3 Normal sockets similar to the image below First question: To play safe these days, I would just unplug the spliter sockets and use the original car cigarette socket when I use my vacume cleaner, its once in a while so no big deal. But I wonder if I am just too paranoid. And given that my new splitter actuall is a 1 cigarette + 3 normal socket, I was wondering if I could plug the vacume into the 1 cigarette socket without burning it out again. Does such spliter actually split the voltage even when other sockets are not in use? Second question: Given the new one I have which is 1 Cigarette + 3 normal socket, can I plug the Griffin Power Jolt Dual for Ipad (click for details) into the Cigarette socket while having my phone charger in the normal sockets all at the same time? I thrown away the packaging of the new spliter so I have no idea how many volts is each socket getting. Please let me know if you are using a similar product in a similar manner. Would appreciate the experiences shared. Thanks

Where do I buy a car cigarette lighter socket in Singapore? I bought a Honda City but I only notice it did not come with a cigaretter lighter socket after I try to light up a cig . ( I thought this item is part of the standard item in a car)

Hi bros, Just want to find out whether this is true: My mobile phone holder has a power cable connected to it directly. This cable gets its power from the lighter socket. I have come across reading that when parking overnight, don't leave the power cable in the lighter socket as it will continue to drain battery life of the car. Is this really true?

Sat in my friend's ride a while ago and remembered he has a charging cable (not sure if it's handphone or GPS) tapped onto the cig socket power source and concealed behind the dashboard. The other end appears in front of the front windscreen and he can use it to recharge his device. This also free up the cig socket since it is tapped backend. Anyone know if this is possible? and where should i go to get this done? Do I need to provide the original charging cable?

Hi Bros, Realised that my ride's (Octavia A5)Cigarette lighter socket's current will not be cut-off after I cut the engine (unlike my prev Honda). Was wondering if it will be on continously or will be cut off automatically after x minutes.. If its on permanently, anyway to make it cutoff cos I'm worried if I forgot to unplug my devices.. it may drain the car batt.

Hi all, I long wanted to change my light bulbs but once i think back how i melted the bulb socket of my dad's previous car, i hesitated. I could have burnt the whole damn car! scary! To prevent another incident of such, i decided to ask before taking any actions. My questions here are: - if i wan to change our car's headlamp, what do we have to look out for? the 55W/60W? - i am using OEM bulbs. if i change to those 4000k ones, will i melt the sockets? I know nuts abt car's electrical sys. Anyone with experience do help me with this. really hope to have brighter headlamps. d: > Thks! -
Hi folks, Would appreciate advice from anyone who has had experience with any DAB - Mobile Receiver powered via cigarette lighter socket - any recommendations? Thanks! I went to varius places - only mobile devices I could find are those that are powered by 6 volts of power. Our cars are supplying 12v, understand that can only step down to 9v minimum. Anyone has a solution? Or any recommendations.
