Ok, I've gotten a few PM's about how to wire these in, and I followed the instructions HZM82 posted on page 2.

To wire the switch, I only did a few extra things. The instrurctions were posted before, but I dont see them now.

1. I took a piece of wire, and grounded it at one end. For the ground, I used a screw thats visible when you remove the passenger side fuse box cover which is used as a ground for our power door locks.
2. I put the switch on that wire
3. I took this ground wire with a switch on it, and tapped it into the negative wire that is now running to the power inverter for the CCFL tubes. Thats it; enjoy.

The switch I used was just sitting in the lighter, I didnt take it out. Just make sure no metal from the switch can come in contact with the sides of the lighter socket. If it can, cover the spots up with electrical tape.

Sorry to bring this thread back. So, when you use the switch, does it supply the power back to the dome light??
