So maybe it's a ghostring light for the cigarette lighter?

Ignore him, Doug. He's playing with you. He knows quite well that it's the dilithium deframbulator housing. Handle it carefully - those dilithium crystals are pretty fragile.

Don't forget to let everyone know the correct installation procedure for this item. You know how it's often overlooked. Then, it won't be long.. three months down the line and you are having to buy new crystals showing up here again asking what happened. See it all the time!

Your Jeep has to be upside down resting on its roof when you are reinstalling the housing for the deframbulator, or else those crystals are going to blow! And then you'll have all sorts of problems. Not to mention how scarce those D Crystals are to come by nowadays. They just don't make them like they used to anymore! And some people thought it would be better in the long-run to simply do away with this item alltogether. Especially after the WMD's scare we were having to deal with back in the early 2000's with Iraq!

You bet! Sometimes I forget things in my old-age.. Did that all seem accurate?

I have connections with a few good guys who can help out if anyone was attempting to make their own crystals. For if you are having trouble sourcing materials? A warning though! They don't believe it's necessary to use dillithium exclusively. So, sometimes they send these isotopes...💎
