Sparky Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 Its not hard mate, you just need a multimeter to test each wire to find the ignition live, that way it only comes on with your igintion.CD player, cigarette lighter etc will all be fine Quote Link to post Share on other sites
daz gt turbz Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 fag lighter is the easiest to use, just splice the wire in. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sparky Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 Yes it will still work fine Im not sure on the colour wire tbh maybe someone could help with that though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lukEp Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 You want the wire that goes to the centre of the cig lighter not the main body. Just strip the sleeve off the wire a bit twist them together run a bit of solder over the wire and tape it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
daz gt turbz Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 yea your fag lighter will still work, carnt remember the colour easyest way if you dont have a test light is to cut expose the copper wire on both the wires that come out the fag lighter, wrap the live from your blitz round one it and try it, if it turns on youve got the right one if not its the other. then just solder them together and tape them up.
