Abstract: A cigarette lighter holder is constructed to fit into a conventional motor vehicle cigarette lighter socket and is made of insulating material to hold a conventional butane gas lighter or the like in place for subsequent removal and use by the driver and passengers of the motor vehicle. A flared collar extends from the open end of the holder to cover the cigarette lighter socket edges, and a light bulb is placed in the collar to illuminate the opening and to indicate its location to users of the lighter held in the holder/adapter.
