nemo Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 Okay, I saw this over at another forum and had to have one. It's pretty freaking sweet. It's a bright ass flashlight that charges in your cigarette adapter. While it charges, it glows red. I know a lot of people carry flashlights in their car but this could replace it. I got it from jtspotlight.com. It comes in lots of different colors The actual flashlight: http://i6.tinypic.com/82bk9y8.jpg In place, with the car off: http://i18.tinypic.com/8bymrn5.jpg Glowing: http://i16.tinypic.com/6jgfepv.jpg note: I have an '08 and it didn't fit my adapter. I needed to modify my adapter SLIGHTLY to make it fit. Not a big deal though. If people want, I can post a walk-through on doing it. The ashtray door closes fine. If you don't vote Trump, out, you're a bigot who hates america. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bbc84 Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 Im wondering what did u have to do for the 08'? and how long does the battery last? I have my radar detector plugged in all times, and my GPS plugged into the one int he armrest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nemo Posted January 18, 2008 Author Share Posted January 18, 2008 I just had to add a little bubble of solder at the end of the contact of the adapter so the flashlight makes contact. I guess new cars are required to have like a lip between the bottom of the "charger" and the contact. I guess it's to prevent a short or something. Not really sure, but my mom's Maxima has the same thing. I'm not sure how long the battery lasts, as I've only had it for a few days. But it's rated for over 2 hours on one charge. It's also passed impact, salt water spray, fatigue, IEC IP testing. And it's fully submersible If you don't vote Trump, out, you're a bigot who hates america.

Kelvrick Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 Hrmmm, I wonder how bright it really is, what type of battery and led it uses. OP, can you post some pictures? Do you have anything to compare it to? I might have to get one just to tear it apart and compare to my fenix and dereelights. My Outback Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
