The one shown is the one I bought (and returned). I couldn't get ANY device to charge with it.

If I'm not mistaken, I've used a 10mm socket and had no problems. I also used a wrench similar in size.

Hi;It is VERY important to have a professional installer instal this kind of item for you, one wrong wire and you can damage not only the item but also components of your car. Naturally we can also not give advice over an email or a forum.Ariya

I try tu put in my Toyota Highlander 2003 ( same socket ) but everytime I installed it dropped...something its wrong with the bulb...and the socket

We haven't run into that issue yet, but from looking at it, the only option that I can think of is to glue it to the socket, using a tiny drop of a super glue on one side would do it.

The adapter pushes itself out of my 2001 cadilac, 1999 chevy suburns, and my 1981 searay weekender. Only way the plug stays in a socket is if I use a 12 volt splitter. The tip and side connectors need to be closer together like a usb adapter for the 12 volt sockets. (Walmart has good pics on thier web site of better plug ends)

It looks right to me. I just bought a replacement today. It was a bit shorter but it was 13 watts and the socket fit correctly. Didn't work, but after I took it back out, I noticed a rattle in the bulb. So I'll take it back and try again. But the one you showed loos correct to me. I'd go to your local store for the bulb rather than the internet, in case it is damaged or doesn't fit right, you can take it back.

I just installed the as is on a Trans Am in the blinker/drl. The only issue I've had is that they don't stay in the socket. I replace he sockets at the same time and suspect that the sockets are just cheap. They are bright and sharp when they are properly seated. Hope this helps.

Make sure you got correct size .you can't use a low profile in a regular socket..but you can usually use a regular (ato?) In a low profile socket.. Though it will stand out a bit more from the others..if space is a problem.

We are still testing the compatibility between our car charger and your phone at this moment. Would you please email to support@ianker.com some days later? Thanks for your patience in advance.

Did it get too hot and electrically shut down. Contact the Manufacturer, they have "troubleshooters", who could give you an answer, once they get "all" the facts from you. I can't offer much more. Sometimes there are answers, if you "google" the problem. It works with auto and plumbing problems. Good luck!

Hi. I just went in and removed the bulb to make sure. First unscrew the cover over the bulb. Next you have to have strong fingers but push the bulb and turn it until you feel it loosen up. It does not completely unscrew out of the socket. When you feel it's loose turn the unit upside down and the bulb should fall out. Once this happens you will see how the bulb is held in the socket. Hope this helps.

I have not, but I can tell you from past experience that the European socket is sunken, so be careful when using the adapter. Make sure that you can grab onto the adapter when you remove the plug.

I fixed mine after it came out of the socket, but once it broke again I just threw it away. You can get one cheap enough to not worry about it.

there is usually a small plastic tab on the wire coming from the car that locks into the new socket. you have to gently pry it back with a screw driver. also it you live in the north and it is cold out be very gentle. they can break off rather easily. also you should use a small amount of dy-electric grease between the bulb and the socket to prevent an electrical arc. which is likely why it burned out in the first place.

Have same issue with posts on panel cover also snapped. Original switch works but dropped down and hard to use buttons. Good luck, Jeremy. Please comment if you find part name or ID and if you find a source; I will too. Best!
