Abstract: The present invention provides a lighter assembly for use in a receptacle. A rigid elongate body is frictionally retained in the receptacle and an engaging arm projects into an axial passage way. An item to be lit engages the engaging arm, which completes a switch and actuates a heating element to ignite the item. An insulator block supports the heating element and protects the heating element from damage during use. Vents allow smoke and ash to escape the lighter assembly, and a lens assembly actuated by the engaging arm lights up for easy location.

Abstract: A neon cruising lighting system for use with a motor vehicle battery includes a motor vehicle headlight having a reflector, a cutout in the reflector, an inert gas discharge lamp capable of irradiating various light colors, disposed in the cutout, a plug assembly adapted to cooperate with a motor vehicle cigarette lighter power receptacle, a transformer electrically coupled to both the plug assembly and the inert gas discharge lamp, so that the plug assembly conducts electrical power from the battery to the transformer to the inert gas discharge lamp, in order to illuminate the inert gas discharge lamp.
