Default Adding a cigarette lighter?

I own a 2003 civic lx. Its pretty basic, nothing to fancy, the one thing that i deffinately wish it had was a second cigarette lighter socket. I have one in the center console and then two more slots for other add ons i assume, does anyone know if there is an actual part i can buy to fit in one of those slots to make myself another cigarette lighter?

I've attached the picture, i just found a random one online. dont mind the arrows on it.

So you can see the plastic that is able to come out next the the cigarette lighter, so again just wondering if there is a part to do a new one, another one?

Thank you

heres something that you add to convert your 1 cigarette lighter plug to 3. look around ebay search from cigarette lighter socket or plug and they should have them from 1 plug to 2, 3, 4. look around

^ What he said. That's one thing I do hate, how my Civic has only one Cigarette lighter; I have a radar detector so its used pretty much all the time, and I have no where to put a GPS, cell phone charger, etc. I bought one of those things sfazngiants showed you, but I got mine at Auto Zone. Problem solved!

you could prolly get the setup out of a car in the junkyard, then just run the wire to ur current cig lighter and splice them together. prolly a fire hazard but yeah..
