Review on 🔌 Efficient DC 12V Car Auto Cigarette Lighter Replacement Plug & Socket Assembly Set by Matt Norwood

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Proper retractable lighter

Seems ok. It was the perfect replacement for the old one in my boat; it went straight into the old hole and had the same wire connections. When I first tried it the lighter didn't pop out when it got warm like it should. I used a wooden stick (don't use metal when the power is on) to slightly bend (loosen) the spring retainers inside, causing them to pop out when they get hot. This is important because overheating is likely to blow the fuse. Please note the wire connector is not visible in the picture but when I received it it had a new positive wire connector. Note that much of what is sold as "cigarette lighter socket" will not work with "retractable" cigarette lighters; They are only intended as power outlets for charging phones etc.

Pros
  • Pretty packaging
Cons
  • Good but not great
