Has anyone ever used a ceramic heater like this one http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/12-volt-12-V-Cerami...5916QQrdZ1

Are they even worth buying. Will they at least take the edge of of the cold?? This is for my baja not my buggy by the way. thanks guys

Don't waste your money. Your cash is better spent on a pair of gloves.

I'd have to second that. How much amperage/heat can be pulled constantly through a lighter socket. I'll bet the picture is almost actual size. Confused

There is a catalytic heater that screws on the top of a small propane bottle that works real well at heating my Baja and it fits in a cup holder. They sell them for golf carts.

Oh how I wished I'd known about these a few yrs
back when I had a couple holes in the floorboards
of my 63. Heater worked great in the summer and
the A/C was one of the best in the winter... Wink

Is that safe to run in an enclosed vehicle?
