get a gti centrel console of something as they have cig lighters.

take a (+) and (-) and connect it to the cig lighter. The outer on the cig lighter will be the (-) and the inner center bit will be the (+)

you need a fuse on the (+) wire and ive forgotten what size. great :smiley:

wire up the dash light which will be grey and blue wire which you can take from the heater console light
