    What size hole?

    What size hole do I need to drill to fit the cigarette lighter accessory in the little glove box? I purchased the OEM one but there are no directions. Thanks

    The hole size is 30mm.

    Here are the instructions on Honda's website.

    If you don't have access to a 30mm bit, I've heard a 1 1/4" will also get the job done. I also have an OEM kit sitting in the garage just waiting for daytime temps to drop below 110 degrees. Got a few things left to install but not in this heat.

    1 1/8" = 28.575mm so, if the correct size is 30mm, that might just do the trick. For cutting smooth holes and especially larger holes, I much prefer using step drills. You can get a set for cheap at Harbor Freight. The only thing you have to watch out for with those is going a step too far and winding up with a larger hole than intended. No reason to run into that issue as long as you're paying attention.

    Zeus now that you know what size to drill, if you look closely on the cubby once the cubby is out, you'll also notice the starting mark + for your drill.

    This is also a great video.
