I was wondering if there was a power difference from the battery and say the cigarette lighter? If i took a 12v light that was wired to the cig lighter and hooked it up directly to the batt, would that make a difference? It just seems to me that a lil 12v bulb would explode if i hooked it up to the terminals of a car batt. Is there a difference in amps? could i light a 74 bulb straight from the battery?

the thing you have to worry about is the gauge of the lighter wire.
Its not a very thick wire; So if you pull too much current through it, the wire might melt. |
