I don't think I've seen anything like this before, and it seems like a cool idea.

Meet the Auto LED. It's an LED light that fits into your lighter socket of your car, and recharges there too.

I think I may buy one just to see if I can Mod it (and to see what makes it tick).

If you know of other lights out there like this, let me know!

There have been several threads on that particular light.

Major problem with this type of light is that when starting your car, there is sometimes a rather large voltage spike, which often kills cigarettes lighter socket flashlights, cell phone chargers, etc. The better lights have a replaceable fuse to protect against this. Also, the built in rechargeable battery often dies from overcharging on the cheaper lights.
