Hi Guys,

Sooo I got me a ghetto charger for my ipod transmitter and went to pull it out which lead to the tip of the charger stuck in the lighter.

Plastic piece is being held in by 2 clamps in the lighter...Suggestions to take it out? We have fuse pliers around the house somewhere!

Is it safe to drive around with the metal tip and plastic piece just in there?

UPDATE: pliers were used, no one was electrocuted..this post can be deleted!

If you take your time easing it in and use a little lubricant it never gets stuck.
