What's your car flashlight?

SureFire G2 in the glove box

Surefire e1L in glovebox. Also a spare fresh battery.

I keep a 2001 vintage Night Buster 8X which has 8 LEDs and runs on 3 AA's. Plus an extra set of batteries.

LED technology changed so fast that the Night Buster 8X quickly became a dinosaur. Newer lights run brighter and longer, have better beams, and are smaller. Since it has no monetary value, I don't mind leaving in the car where a dishonest parking-jockey, car-wash dude, service-guy, or other may swipe it.

I wouldn't risk any of my good lights in the car. You guys are trusting souls. Besides, I'm never without a good EDC in my pocket. Do any of you go out "naked"?

I have a Mag 3D with MagLED module, an EternaLight Ergo 3, one of those 2D incandescent plastic lights with a red cone at the business end (made by Hipwell), and a cheap Eveready 2D light new in it's package to give away if necessary.

Car #1 - SF G2, 2AA MagLED, 3D Mag
Car #2 - SL TT 2-123, 3D Mag

On me at all times - Arc AAA-P, Fenix P1

I can't bring myself to leave an expensive torch in the car!

A TL-3 stays in each car and I carry the Mag85 with me from car to car to house to office, etc.

A mod from the POLICE brand incans.2x123 flashlight to DD 3W LED(hand pick led with unknown bin) on 18650 as bright as white with Aleph2(NG750+TWOJ) in 3 meter!

 

[The Porcupine]

Mag2D + Fauxton in one car, 6LED thingy + Fauxton in the other. Looking to equip both cars with a headlamp soon.
I don't like leaving expensive ligths in the cars!

Minimag with a TLE5 bulb kit in the glovebox
Cybalite 3C LED/Xenon torch in the boot (moderately similar to a 3C Twin Task)
Plug-in-cigarette lighter floodlight type thing

There's also a Photon 2 on my car keys

Inova X5 in the glovebox. Lithium batteries were a must have. It seems to be a much better choice than the M@g I used to have rolling on the floor. Although, with the stories of multiple lithium battery light explosions, I hope to change to a single battery light sometime.

Aside from what's in my pocket and on the keychain, I have a 120 volt inverter to run a regular trouble light that has a compact fluorescent lamp (complete with a long enough cord to reach all the way around the car). The inverter cost less than a car charger for my cell phone and is much more usefull!

I keep my PT Impact in the glove box. I've had my car broken into twice a while back so I don't keep lights of high value in the car and tend to EDC those more.

Photon Freedom Micro on my car keys.

I recently bought my kids the Energizer folding LED lanterns ($6.99 at my local Target), which they've used a lot in the car, more so with the shorter days.

My daily drivers each have a Nuwai Q3 with TWOH (one green, one titanium silver). My weekend car has a Fenix P1.

My woman just claimed my 3D mag with 1w Endurable dropin for her confidence-inspiring house light. I now have a Blaster Jr. copy in the door compartment.

My Gladius has been demoted from duty use to car light. Strobe works great to warn approaching vehicles when I have to change a tire at night.

 

[WNG]

U2 + 2D magcharger

Man, this is flashlight porn!! Hahahah!
What lusty lights!

 

[ScottyJ]

For me it would be the HDS which is always in my pocket, and for the wife the same thing which is always in her purse. When one or both of us is in the car, so are the flashlights.

Wolf Eyes Rattlesnake 12V--300 lumens powered by three 150A cells. If my headlights fail, I can hold the Wolf Eyes out the window and have enough brightness and beam width to see where I'm going. And its just short enough to fit horizontally in my car's opened center console.
