This is the only way to tie the lighter sockets to the ignition that I can think of.
-
1. Find a good wiring diagram for your vehicle and locate the hot wire to the lighters.
-
2. Cut that wire where you can easily reach it.

3. Find the wire to the accessory position of your ignition switch.
-
4. Run a wire from the lighters to the accessory wire and connect it.

Be advised the load on the accessory line will be increased and could present a fire hazard or blow fuses but this would cause the lighters to be switched on and off with the ignition. Personally I would not do it for the reasons stated.

A far better idea in my opinion would be to cut the line to the lighters and insert a toggle switch. This would allow switching without the risk of fire and blowing fuses. Ralph
