    I thought they were on the same fuse as the stereo, Don't know why its not working with the headlights on. Unless there is a short near the lighter.

    I had an issue with another car where the A/C would work perfect until I turned on the Fog Lights, then they would both die, weren't even on the same fuse or anything.

    check the power wire that goes to the globe on the surround of the lighter bet it is shorting out

    You have an earthing problem, sounds like.

    Try soldering a wire from the body of the ciggy lighter to a screw or something grounded on your trans tunnel
