Rake aboot 4,936 Posted September 7, 2013 Report Share Posted September 7, 2013 Go to B&Q and buy an orange Lawnmower connector plug and socket. Wire it up, hey presto ! fixed. Use the socket on the short lead that the cigar fitting was on, and wire the plug to the lamp. Quote Link to post

Bootsha 1,306 Posted October 22, 2013 Report Share Posted October 22, 2013 Quick question, is there an inline fuse inside the fag lighter end of a striker lamp??. similar to above, i always hardwired my striker to the old battery, cut the end off and threw it away, now i have a lithium, would it be best to use an inline fuse? i dont really want to cut the female cigarette lighter bit off in case the batt goes tits up and i need to send it back under warranty. Cheers B PS Used them orange strimmer connectors before, sturdy and waterproof, never pull apart Quote Link to post

Cheers B PS Used them orange strimmer connectors before, sturdy and waterproof, never pull apart The couple I replaced years ago had fuses in the male end, but folk been saying on here that they don't, maybe the better versions I bought to replace the ones that come with lamps had fuses but the actual lamp ones don't.. open it and see lol Quote Link to post
