What does your rechargeable torch look like? Is it black or white? Is the back of it i.e. where it slots into the car, male or female? What does it look like? Can you see two male pins?

Background:

I want to use a BMW adaptor to convert the torch socket into a auxillary power source. See:

Trouble is they make these for two flashlight types, white and black, also if I look at the socket in my car it looks like a the flashlight (torch) probably has a shroud around two male pins, it almost seems like a male. Does that make sense?
BMW don't sell these in the UK so I'll have to have it sent over from the states.

Many thanks in advance.

Out of my M3 (04 build) it's a black torch, male pins, keyed socket with the pins offset toward the top of the socket


Thanks John that's sounding good. What I expected. I can order with a bit of confidence now!
