Cigarette Lighter Mod--> VW Mini "Torch"
A while back, a friend of mine rented a VW Touareg. I noticed it had this cool lil flashlight that plugged into the cigarette lighter assembly. So I looked around and found out it was called a mini "torch". I put one of these in my STi and it fit fine. However, when i tried putting one into the Lude, the cigarette lighter assembly was too large to fit. So i found someone parting out a wrecked WRX and bought the ligher housing assembly from him for $10. So i took apart the stock one and hooked up the WRX one. Now it fits!! Sorry i didnt do a writeup but installation was rather trivial. Just remove the stock one and install the WRX one. :bigthumb:
And heres the "torch" that Im talking about....
The torches recharge each time you plug them into the assembly. If you search around, you can buy one of these torches new for about $20.

yes thats a 4th gen...it might even fit in a 5th gen without having to mod the lighter assembly...

if you hooked it up correctly, it should still light up...i know mine does....
there seems to be some confusion as to the function of this mod...this mod has nothing to do with the map light or the light that turns on when you open the doors...this is simply a mod that gives you a little flashlight in your car...not to mention it beats having a cigarette lighter that i never use...
