    Does anyone know where to find an extended reach 12v electric push in - pop out type electric coil cigarette lighter that will work in the deep-well sockets on the 05-13 Tacomas ?

    I do realize it wont stay in and pop out, it will have to be held.

    I do realize the sockets were not designed for a lighter.

    The sockets are about 1/4" too deep for normal length push in lighters to reach the bottom contact.

    My other vehicle did not have a lighter either, but, the standard length ones worked just fine in the 12v socket - I just have to hold it in about 3-4 seconds and check if its hot. I dont wish to smoke or use it every day but everybody has that once in a while "Mother **** I wish I had a lighter for ....whatever... "

    I have visited four auto parts stores, box stores, online / ebay, Amazon, searched Google, and I cannot find a long or extended reach lighter that will actually work in deep sockets. I know one HAS to exist but where ?


    Thanks !
