Hope you don't intend to use the lighter now. I tried this before and metal canister that lighter sits in gets super hot and melted all the plastic components of the LEDs I used.
Good luck with it and post a how-to if it works without fire hazard. I'd really like to do mine too. --------------------  ENGINE: '93 RC 3S-GTE/WRC CT-20b [18-20PSI] PERF: TRD/HKS/ARP/NGK/MSD/ACT/Blitz/STRI/APEX'i/TwosRus/GReddy/Magnaflo/KOYO SUSP: Tein/Bilstein/SusTech/ INT: SS-III SEATS/Toyota Hyper Sports EXT: WRC/TRD/404 QUOTE (lagos @ Aug 25, 2010 - 10:13 AM)  Its a safety feature so that people like you don't end up killing themselves or everyone around them.

as to not cause any fires if you want to carry on using cig lighter ive put my new led on the console trim and altered so one led at top and one in original holder you have to strip socket down to drill the grey bit with a 4mm hole
4mm hole in outer grey part dont drill inner clear bit  that allows light source through now you have to fix a holder for the led that doesnt touch the lighter it self as stated gets very hot and this hold it back for safe use  i used led pre wired so easy connections heres a link to the ones i used http://www.ultraleds.co.uk/u12vb-blue-1200...res-p-1227.html -------------------- |

all these interior LEDs are 3V correct? i'm thinking about changing mine to all blue (how original!!) but hooking up a circuit that would switch on a red LED when the lighter is in use... should look pretty cool imo

Sorry if that sounded rude before. no its not rude, really! i never tought about it . 10 points for pointing it out.. The cig lighter thing will be out in the trash, but i will need a dud or someting plastic to cover the hole, for safety sakes.  BTW a 3 led circuit looks like this in parallel: courtesy of http://ledcalc.com/#calc
