Honestly,

Since an automotive cig lighter is a 12 volt device, you could easily make one of these on your own. Just drill ahole in your case, or a knock-out panel for an unused drive and mount it.

Your Power supply puts out a 12 volt signal on either the red or yellow wire -- black is ground for either -- all you need is a pigtail off of an old fan or Powersupply.

doesnt affect your car -- they are designed to cool down very quickly, I dont think it would be an issue--and if you were charging a cellphone or something there would be no heat involved.
