Hi - I'd like to add a few cigarette lighter sockets to my 2001 Civic LX 4 door. I would like one in the glovebox, and one accessible to the backseat.

For the one in the glovebox - I am planning on just running a cable from there to where the stock one is and let it dangle in there. For the rear one - I was thinking I might put it in the back of the center console. There is a blank panel back there already - was there an option for a cigarette lighter? Any suggestions for a way of making it look as clean as possible?

Finally - does anybody know of a way to remove the spade terminals from the piece of plastic that they're installed in, that plugs into the back of the cigarette lighter socket?

Thank you!

 

yeah, the harnesses can be 'depinned'. just search youtube, I'm sure there are lots of videos on depinning harnesses. it is hard to describe, that's why I point to videos for this type of thing. I usually use a dental pick and release the catch that keeps the terminal in the plastic housing. sometimes they go nice, other times i can spend 15 min trying to get it.
