hmm, i have a 04' 3.0 and i definetly have it in my car

Don't waste your time the light is very dim.

Just buy a small Maglight and leave it in the glove box.

FYI listed below is a picture of a torch.

i'm guessing you want the extra outlet? for the flashlight, it is not worth it at all. fyi...there may be an extra outlet in the passenger foot well depending on which side of the car you drive on...at least that's what i've heard

When I think of torch I think of blow torch.

It would be fun to understand what other items we have different names for, please list.

Hood
Gas
In the UK, I think
gas = petrol
hood = bonnet
trunk = boot
sedan = saloon
transmission = gearbox

They speak so fine on the other side of the pond but don't know why they have different names for the same thing?

The Brits are just wierd like that. They drive on the wrong side of the road and apparently have the light switch messed up.

(No offense to any Brits here)
