Mines were attached to my inside dome lights, so everytime I open my door the light automatically comes on and I can control it also with the on/off switch that controls the dome lights. But if you can't find the dome wire to splice into, I would say the cigarette lighter.

find any 12 volt source via; cigarette lighter,stereo,etc.. just find a hot 12 volt source and a ground. you can put a toggle switch on the lights for easy on/off access. Plus you don't want to kill your battery by accidentally leaving them on so if you run them directly to the battery make sure you have a on/off switch. cheap about $2.00

Cigarette lighter or you can hook directly to your battery. I have a cigarette lighter in my center console so I ran the power under the seats into center console to plug them in

There are several options to charging a USB device other than a computer. Many stores carry car adapters that plug into your car's power point and converts it to 5V USB. There are also home devices that do the same.

Very easy. There are videos that show exactly how to do it (from YouTube, I think). Just be careful with the"ribbon cable" connection. Do not just charge in like a Type-A personality.

Jack, I do not have any difficulty to plug it into my cigarette lighter. You can try to do the following. First, squeeze the two metal pieces on the plug all the way in and hold them for a while. Now try to plug it in. You may need to repeat this step few times. If it still does not work, you will need to use a file to smooth or even reduce the edges of those metal pieces on your plug. Make sure you don't do too much because it may become too loose. Good luck.

You could use a car cigarette lighter if you have a converter to turn it into alternating current instead of direct current that the car lighter offers.

That's correct. It comes with everything you need to connect the wires to the cigarette lighter adapter. You'll probably need 3m mounting tape, cause the adhesive that it comes with is kind of weak.

I tried to hook up with a USB 2 amp but finally just got a small invertor and plugged into my cigarette lighter plug.

My side electrodes were stuck too and would not fit into my cigarette lighter. I was angry. I then used a pair of channel locks to squeeze the side electrodes and now they are flxible and the unit works fine with my car's FM radio. If you don' have channel locks, use pliers. Squeeze the two side electrodes until they become flexible.

Yes. A cigarette lighter adapter will absolutely work. You would need to connect a miniature plug on the other end that fits where the wall supply normally goes.

According to the product description, any car charger that outputs 5 volts to the USB port will work just fine. You should be able to find those chargers at electronic and, possibly, hardware stores. Just make sure it won't output more than 5 volts, or you'll fry the unit and probably kill the fuse for that cigarette lighter. Also verify if you need a 12 volt or 24 volt charger that plugs into the lighter. Some might be multi-volt, which would make things easier. Most lighters use 12 volts these days. I think 24 volts are typically trucks, mainly tractor trailers and the like. As for a different charger, such as the power bricks for the wall outlet, just be certain it's sending 5 volts to the USB and not more, and you'll be fine.

Dear DrCosmo Thank you for your inquiry. If you have used your lighter, then just cut the wires and then connect them to your car's Plus-n-Minus. Sincerely yours, Astra Depot
