Video tutorial

Watch this video to learn how to install a light in the cigarette lighter of a Volkswagen Jetta; the first thing to do is remove the ashtray cover where you will install the light and slightly widen it to allow the LED to fit. For the connector, you’ll only need a short piece of wire, about ten centimetres long, stripping both ends and inserting one into the central pin and the other into the socket.

You can find the LED for this use on AliExpress using code 1005003114432879 for £17.70 with free shipping; as shown in the video, the electrical connections are not included, and you will need to do them yourself.
