When I bought my Max it was missing the cigarette lighter plug. Has anyone bought a nice polished metal aftermarket plug or anything like that? I'd be curious to see pics. Otherwise I'll probably just get a stock replacement.

 

At first I thought you just wanted an aftermarket one for the hell of it.

Just get the stock one. I dont ever think ive heard of anyone making them or wanting them.

 

I think I've seen those type-r ones at the store. I can't see myself spending 20 dollars on that because I don't even smoke =)

 

I know, I don't smoke (just the occasional cigar but certainly not in my Max, too much precious animal hide) but the empty metal hole is bothering me. I figured a nice polished aluminum one could look good, but it wouldn't really match my interior on second thought.

Anyone know if the 350Z plug will fit? There's one on eBay and it looks nicer than the 4th gen one.

 

My car has a plastic plug that looks like a lighter, but doesn't work. It's probably a nissan part.

 

Hmm...thanks for that info! If you have a chance, snap a pic...

 

Cigarette lighters are all the same (that's how all 12V plugs work in all cars). I bought a replacement for my missing cig lighter for 4 bucks at Autozone.

 

I know this is off topic, but why is the ashtray covered with that felt or plastic stuff? doesn't it burn if someone puts out a cig. in it? not that anyone has dared smoking in my car..... lol.

 

I also have the dummy plug. It says 12V on it.

 

You can get a cool looking one like a race car switch, type r or Razo. All these will enhance the look of the interior if OEM is not good enough.

 

^^^ please dont do that to the maxima.

 

Get a stock one if you can. You don't want some crackhead breaking into your car for your cigarette lighter.

 

I found mine in the Checker parking lot. Its very old school but does the trick. I've never actually used it.

 

save the value of your car, dont smoke in it!

 

Your car or the lighter? hehe just playin... I also had that fake plastic piece... I took an old lighter from my last car and threw it in... I think im the only one that smokes in my car on this board...

 

i had the fake plastic piece... but it decided it would jump down into the bottom of my dash somewhere never to be seen again.....

now i just leave a phone charger hooked to it..

 

i got an APC one with a fake NAWZ switch on it. I swear it added 3.4hp to the wheels.

 

nothing fancy...

I smoke in my car... cigars that is.

 

Can't you get the lighter at an autowrecker for peanuts?

 

buy a VW touareg cig. plug...it has an LED flash light at the end...pretty cool stuff.
