Perfect fit into a standard centre console switch aperture. Well very slightly tight. Pictures speak for themselves.

Not wired in yet so can’t comment on best option for that although I’ll probably try and put a reversable connection to the cigarette lighter.

Also can’t comment on charging rate or electrical safety. But at 2.1 amp each that gives a quick charge. Better than most factory fit chargers.

That could well be my next project! That would be very useful. Can I come to you for advice on how to wire it in?

You can do. But it should just be a case of making up some fly leads with spade connectors either end. Removing the existing spade connectors from the back of the cigarette lighter socket. Then plugging in the fly leads between the loom and the USB socket. It should be a 5 min job unless access behind is an issue.

There are a couple of connectors behind there that have a switched live to use .

Shame that doesn't come with orange illumination

They have other colours. In fact the one I got is red in the hope it will be closer to orange.
