I have a Streamlight Polypro Luxeon 4AA flashlight and a Princeton Tec EOS headlamp in each of my vehicles.  IMO, headlamps are a must in a vehicle for repairs, and I like the light weight and waterproof durability of the Polypro flashlight.  I also like that they use very common AA/AAA batteries.  All of them are loaded with lithium batteries for leak-free longterm storage.  I keep the Streamlights protected in Ripoffs holsters.

I also always have a BOB with me that contains a small, long-runtime AA flashlight (Gerber Infinity Ultra) and a Elektrolumens single D-cell LED flashlight and a battery adapter.  With the battery adapter, I can run the Elektrolumens on a D, C, AA or AAA cell.

Just loaded up my new Blazer with...3D Mag in the door, AA incan in the center console, AA Nite Ize LED Mag in the glove box, and a GI anglehead flashlight in the back.

Gotta go with mag light 3d. Funny thing is it is the only place that I have a Mag light anymore. I kinda switched over to LED surefires.

I used the "pennies in the tailcap" modification on my 3D Mag...haven't had to use it though

What's this modification do? Just make it into a heavier sap? XD

I have a fenix p3d that doesn't work well anymore and the dealer doesn't want anything to do with it. It still works so downgraded to car duty. Used to have a mag 3d in there but alkaline doesn't do well in below zero temperature.

Thought I'd chime in with my low budget never-fail glovebox light - one of those battery-free, shake-activated LED lights I picked up at a CVS drugstore for $2. Not a ton of smooth, sweet light, but it sure beats any $$$ light that's got a dead battery!

I tend to think of them as dual use they are a handy source of long run light and a substitute hammer if you are really stuck

Yup!

Pop the coil spring out of the tailcap and fill the cap with a bunch of pennies (really fit them in there good so there's no rattle), then replace the coil and replace the tailcap.

Geez next time I am casting bulletts I will have to fill mine with lead.

In the Florida heat I find the batteries do not last that long in a flashlight in the car. When I got my Chevy Avalanche I hard wired a 12 rechargeable light into one of the saddlebags.

[WhichDawg]

been meaning to get to this thread!

lets see;
in the glove is a small shake light (no bats) and a multi led len lensor (called recon).
behind the seats is a FreePlay crank light.
in the back (cargo area) is a generator/battery/air pump with a main front light and emergency lights on top/side (red&yellow).
in the first aid kit is a pen light and several micro lights (in and around).
in the b.o.b. (used for longer trips) is a len lensor headlamp, bigger shake light.

and what's on me all the time, E01, and another micro.
