Is this true? | | |Lastly, I got a new cigarette lighter socket(with green illumination). |Mine |is a little loose. Can this be done without removing the dash? | A little loose is normal, and the design of the outlet sucks. I replaced mine with a dual outlet from West Marine. Big improvement. Karl Wolz |
