A few years ago, I just replaced my cigarette lighter with the American
version bought at a FLAPS.  My cell phone and CD adaptor fit it
perfectly with no adaptors.  It looks sort of VW-ish, but has the North
American diameter.  It also has the lighted green ring around the
circumference.

Wow, I thought it was just mine. I've tried a couple of lighter socket
accessories in my '89 dashboard and they never fit snugly, worked
intermittently, fell out, etc.  Any hints for retrofitting a "real"
socket?
