Default Plug for 110V outlet in trunk

I went to look at the 110V outlet in the trunk the other day. I flipped open it's cover and was surprised to find a cigarette lighter type of an outlet rather than a 2 prong wall outlet. A couple of days later, I was at the dealer and went to the parts dept. to find out if they would have some type of a converter plug. The guy said that they do not have it. When I inquired about where I find one, he was not sure. He said try Best Buy. I checked the web but did not have much luck. All I found were inverters and not just a simple cigarette lighter plug with a wall outlet socket on the other end.

Does anyone know where I can find such a thing ?

Thanks.

Are you sure its an 120V outlet and not the 12V one in the rear cargo area?

I believe the only way to have the 120V outlet is with the rear entertainment package.

I looked in ours tonight and found the 12V outlet on the driver side of the rear cargo area.

That's an inverter; he's looking for an adapter. However, I believe zak21 is correct...

Yah... 12V. The owner manual Page 411. Unless RX has models with 110V, dunno...

Sorry everyone. My bad. I have bad eyesight. I suffer from something called select-o-vision I took a closer look today and found that the lid says 120 V / 12 V. Thus, it must be a 12V outlet as opposed to 120V. Albeit, I did contemplate sticking my finger in there to be certain but then decided against it.

Thanks for checking and setting me straight !
