[s-cars] Touareg Flashlight... mod

[chris chambers]

Well the euro lighte rsockets are bigger than us spec sockets, escort
used to have a black plastic sleeve to slip over their powercords so
they would fit properly in euro lighter sockets.

I made one for a friend by taking a fuji 35 mm film cartridge and
cutting the ends off of it and the slitting it down the middle. Then I
cut out the extra plastic and notched around the power contacts.

Good luck

PS went with the Fuji film containers because they were softer and
easier to cut.
