The glovebox flashlight that comes with the E46 (and other) BMWs is underpowered and a little sad, but the 12v port in the glovebox is very convenient. I created a plug-in replacement for the flashlight that provides 2 3A USB ports. Printed parts: 1. Port head 2. Plug part A 3. Plug part B Other parts: 1. Pins from existing flashlight (doesn't need to be new. cheap) 2. About 3" of 20 to 24 AWG or wire 3. 2 USB 3A buck converter boards - from Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00XPZ7I4I/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Remember to solder the wires flat across the boards at a 90 degree angle to their long axis. The plug hits flush against the bottom of the boards and will interfere with the wires.
