like a phone charger?
get a light tester and find a hot wire with the ignition off.
Wire your cig lighter to that wire.

you mean like find the lighter wire and redirect it? should it go to the battery?
should i take both the white and blue to the battery or just one of the two?

The wire is white with a blue stripe (Wht/Blu). Just locate this wire and then splice into it and route it to the cigarette lighter, replacing the current cigarette lighter power wire. You'll now have constant power.
oh oka sweet. thanks a lot man
oh wait man.. one more question. how do i tell which one goes to the lighter.. sorry to keep bothering you lol

When you pull out the lighter, it will have three attached wires, Yel/Red (power), Red/Blk (light), and Blk (ground). Replace the Yel/Red wire with the new Wht/Blu wire.
thanks again man.. big help
