Question ?? Cigarette Lighter wiring ??

For ages nothing has seemed to work in my cigarette lighter, so I thought I'd take a look..... Turns out theres no wires to it lol

Does anyone know how I would wire it up?

My theory is that I'd run a positive to the ignition wiring and then just earth it to the nearest earthing point/bulk head?

Any help would be appreciated guys, cheeRS

Found this in similar threads from a while back...
You need an earth, a live (ignition live if you dont want it on when the ignition is off) and a side light/illumination feed if you want it to light up with the rest of the dash.
I'll give this a shot
