Black on Black (Cigarette Lighter Charger FUN)

Hong Kong is such a fun town when it comes to accessorizing vehicles.  It seems like anything and everything can be accessorized with inexpensive goods produced in China. Take the humble Cigarette Lighter charger for example.  The LRP came with a unit that was white, a bit large and featuring a very bright integrated LED lighting system.  Here's what the USB charger looked like when we first got the car:


Here's a detail shot of the charger.  There's nothing functionally wrong with it, it's just not in keeping with the overall look & feel of the Daihatsu YRV 2001 TURBO console and cockpit.


Not liking the look of this USB Charger very much, I took a little trip to my favourite destination for computer accessories (Golden Computer Center in Sham Shui Po) and picked up a different USB charging unit that was more in keeping with the overall design language of the cockpit of the Daihatsu YRV 2001 TURBO:



The only thing left to do is to change the color of the retaining ring around the cigarette lighter.  I'm not loving the neon green ring, so I plan to change it something a little less garish, either black or silver.
