I was just thinking about an easy way to light my tour pak without having to do any wiring or altering. My idea is to just simply put an LED light in the cigarette socket adapter.

Does anyone know of any premade led lights that just simply plug into the cigarette socket and light up? My vision is just a bulb that sticks out of a socket that plugs in, maybe even with an on/off switch. I'm not looking for anything too fancy.

Any links/ideas would be appreciated...

I used to use my cellphone flash light app, then I found some lights at a hardware store, little LED pucks, about 2" in diameter, about 1/2" thick, like $4 for a two-pack that "twist" on and off, about a quarter turn. Add a little 3M two sided automotive tape and "voila!", light in both saddlebags and the tour-pak, no wiring, very compact, nice and bright in the night.

 

LED pucks are the way to go. Available at any big box hardware or department store. Very inexpensive too.

 

I took those stick-on led strips from Autozone and hard wired them to a power source under the tourpak liner. (You can splice into the cig lighter or add a cig lighter plug to the lights.) Added a switch mounted above one of the tail lights. Very neat. Very bright.

 

I got mine from Wal-Mart. Battery operated LED about 2 1/2" in diameter and used the heavy duty 3M Velcro. If I need to use it as a portable light, I just pull it off and then stick it back on. Same light and batteries for 2 years now. Works great in the tent for bike camping trips too.

 

Don't over think it, those led lights that are about the size of a hockey puck (only thinner) will work perfect.
No power needed.

Lowes or Walmart

 

You are right. I was overthinking it. Thanks for the advice everyone...

 

Didn't want to start a new thread. Flashlight work light combo from HF 3 bucks. Two strips of velcro. Now the entire tour pak is lit up and I have a flashlight. The velcro has been on there for about 2 months in 90+ weather and isn't coming off.
