    C23D21C7-A957-48C8-829A-3D383CAAC4D0.jpg Has anyone replaced their lighter port charger with a usb/ usb-c charger? I’m trying to figure out how to remove the panel to install and use back tightening nut to keep in place.

    Then later added the @MESO LSP7 and Blue Sea dual USB:

    They are. I have three different sizes, straight and curved. HF has some for cheap also, but it sounds like you have a reliable source.

    What's the benefit of doing this vs. a regular 12V USB charger that supports the latest protocols? This one has worked well for me:

    Ring lighting slightly darker shade of blue compared to dash lighting:
