This is what I did:

EDIT: I don't use my cigarette lighter for anything other than GPS and occasionally a volt check. With that said if you look through the thread I linked the video on the third page shows something of concern. My tab inside is not touching the 'hot' part of the lighter (visually verified) and I do not have metal chargers/devices plugged in as addressed per the video. Knock wood I have had no issues in many many years, but can not give out advice/links without properly addressing the "do at your own risk".
Again, I don't really use the lighter socket a lot but when I do it is only for the GPS and that doesn't have the metal housing he speaks of in the video. My stereo charges my phone and I don't need USB plugs in my cigarette lighter....
