i was gonna say wrong size lighter bu i assume they are all the same size.

ive never had a lighter in my car...are there prongs on the side like a charger that you can use to make it tighter?

are you sure it's not just a pretty skull light, i.e. not a lighter?

ya im pretty sure a lot of places just sell light up designs that dont function as lighters .. might want to look on the inside or try it on other peoples cars to make sure ..

I think you will need to get the smoking kit instead of the lighter, cuz I saw the kit come with a base that goes into the socket with the lighter.
