Cigarette Lighter Missing
I got a flat on my right rear tire the other day (which by the way is a PIA on this car) and I used the pump that comes with the car and now I can't find my cigarette lighter.
I'll bet you its on the side of the road somewhere. Any ideas on where to get a new original cigarette lighter?
Also, the blank spot next to the cigarette lighter...... what are you guys putting in that spot so it doesn't look like something is missing. I would like to fill it if I can.
Thanks

I like the ideas for the led flashlight, and USB plug. I seek both at thinkgeek.com, but the flashlight looks sorta cheesy. David or anyone; What model flashlight are you using? I see one made by Browning that looks decent (from what I can tell.)

Same thing on mine. I used the cig ligher to power my laptop for a bit. Now can't find it.
I bet you that you would find that missing cig ligher once you buy a new one.

It looks similar to this but black and less markings.

I just took a look at Carnewal and they have a new aluminum one but it does not sit in the socket but is rechargeable if you take the end off; they also have an all black version that looks a little big and chunky. I think it's better to have one that sits in the socket all all the time otherwise it defeats the purpose.

The one I have I bot from Gert or maybe an Audi parts specialist....it was quite some time ago..it's a very small aluminum billet anodized in black...size of a shotgun shell...I'll try to get a pic.

There a zillion companies that sell all kinds of high-qual specialty lights (http://www.candlepowerforums.com/vb/forum.php), it's disappointing that seemingly none of them make a good auto-led device.

I had one of those high lumen rechargeable LED flashlight. It doesn't really fit that great in the lighter socket since our socket is and odd size.
It does put out a good amount of light for its size. But after a year, it went dim and wouldn't work anymore.

When I lost my cigarette lighter, I replaced it with a "no smoking" blank:
