What type of interior lights did you install. If they are low current lights like LEDs or CCFLs, then the lighter is sufficient to drive the LCD monitors as well as the lights (and a cell phone charger plugged into the outlet).

You could use a relay to run the power to them if you are concerned about the amperage you are already drawing from the cigarette lighter.

Pretty sure there is power under the center console, because the window lock switch is there.

Also, isn't there power going to the seats for the airbag sensors?

and, it's easy to run wires down under the center console to the dash and run your own fused circuit for the TVs (and lights)

It was a great eight year run, but it was time to focus on other things. I'm still selling parts on eBay under micro*image seller ID and customers can still make requests for anything specific.
