The Bulldog Winch Power Socket # BDW20286 is designed to be used with any 12 volt accessory and is not designed for a specific Bulldog Winch product. This is a universal 12 volt power supply plug that will work with any 12 volt cigarette style plug, like the Prostrobe Rocky 8 Pro - White Windshield Light # PRS70747 as a random, though cool, example.

The watertight cap and 3 mounting brackets (flush mount, under dash, and dash top tent bracket) make this a great way to add a 12 volt power source either inside or outside a vehicle, trailer, camper, or RV.
