Title says it; looking for the black plastic plug that fits in the 12v outlet in the boot. Anyone have one laying around they want to get rid of?

 

I don't have one but here is what I have up front in my car.

It is a flashlight from a VW and it is rechargeable, very handy when looking for something in the cockpit. I have a larger light in the boot too. I keep the lighter plugged into the boot outlet.

 

That's pretty cool. What does the top of it look like?

 

The top is the lens, there's no cover. The light works by twisting the head. It's a bright light. I've had mine since the Touareg came out.

 

That's pretty nice. Looks like my first stocking stuffer. Time to start dropping hints and URLs!

 

Cool. Thanks for posting the pic

 

Yep... I know what I'm asking Santa for this year!

 

here is another option

Oh, and BTW. I wish mine had a boot outlet. D@mn 2003's

 

I do like the look of the ThinkGeek one! I can't seem to find my VW one, it left the car and now it is lost! Time to order the other one.

 

You can get the same flashlight above at:
http://www.sjdiscounttools.com/index.html

It is listed there for $15.73, with shipping for $11.45. Shipping is the same for one or two so I ordered two, one for the front, one for the back.

 

good find.

 

One in the back is a good idea too. Never know when you need a flashlight!

 

Here is another style/brand. I don't know what the quality is as I don't own one. But I should know shortly, mine is being shipped now.

Golden Child,

What was the shipping cost from the JT site. I'm not willing to give them my CC info just to find out what this thing will actually cost me.

Has anyone else found the JT light at any brick and mortar stores?

 

I bought 2. Shipping was 4.95, I think?

14.95 x 2 + 4.95 shipping = 34.85 (just adding out loud)

Yup. 4.95 shipping.

 

That JT one is nice. Looks like a mini mag flashlight.

noles825 was kind enough to offer to sell me his stock black cover. I was nice enough to off $5 for it (can be had at my dealer for about $2). One of these days I hope it gets here.

 

This may help out!!

JTSpotlight is offering a forum discount of $2 off any order of two (or more) JTSpotlights. Got to www.JTSpotlight.com and enter coupon code "minifrm" in the google checkout window to get your discount, pass the word!!

 

Too cool! I just ordered 2 of 'em.

 

Just ordered 2 as well! Thanks for the tip!

 

Anyone receive their JTSpotlight yet? Curious about the quality.

Also, how's the blue match up with Hyper Blue?

 

I got notification that mine shipped...

 

FYI - I've got a spare plain, black plastic cover for the boot of anyone wants it - just send me $5 to cover USPS Priority shipping and it's yours.

 

I've had mine for about a month now. They seem fine to me. The light is really bright. It Feels solid and of good quality. I haven't done impact test, submersion, or battery life test on it or anything but I'm sure it'll serve it's purpose. I've used it a few times searching for stuff in the car but that's about it.

I've got it in black

 

A package arrived yesterday evening and I ripped it open like a little kid on Christmas! My 2 new Spotlights were inside and were safe and sound!
My first thought was that they are smaller than I had expected. For some reason I figured that they would be larger...

They are fairly well built. They don't feel as dense as a MagLight, but the cases are solid metal and have a nice powdercoated finish to 'em.
I was surprised at how much light the 1 LED put out, but it's fairly bright. Plenty for searching around the interior or reading a map at night. My only slightly negative comment is that the light is fairly well focused into one smallish spot. I would have liked the reflector to be shaped to distribute the light in a broader arc, but I'm sure that someone else would like them just the way that they are... focusing more light (brighter) into a smaller area.

The literature in the box says that it takes 7 hours to completely charge 'em and that they should stay lit for 60-90 minutes if you leave 'em turned on. They might have been fully charged when I got 'em... They had enough charge for me to play with 'em for 5 minutes or so without draining completely. I didn't notice a drop in light intensity over the time I had 'em on.

They fit nicely into the MINI power sockets (I've got one in the boot and one under the center stack) and have a slight red glow through the lens when charging. On my drive home (dusk) the red light didn't bother me, but I haven't driven the car when it was pitch black out... the red light might be a bit bright, but I'll have to wait and see.

You can turn 'em on while they are installed in the socket and turning on the boot light gives you a bit more general illumination when digging around back there.



Here they are, next to my key for a good size comparison.

Here one is installed in the front socket. The ignition is on and it's charging, hence the red light.

I've got one installed in the boot outlet (on the left - not every MINI has one) and I turned it on while it was in the outlet so you could see the shape of the cone of light and how much it illuminates the boot without pulling it out and aiming it where you want it.

Here is a shot of me aiming the light at Jango so you can see the focus of the beam of light. The flashlight was in the same hand as the camera... about 3 feet away from the car, I'd guess.

 

Glad you like it!! Try it outside in the dark, you will be impressed how far they shoot.
