I don't know what you would expect the wiring to look like, it looks fine to me, it looks fairly similar to my Striker that I re-wired myself and the rubber grommet keeping the wire it place is fused to the cable, so shouldn't move. The cigarette lighter connection is a snug fit with the Deben fitting and I have used the same connection on my Striker for more than two seasons and it hasn't melted and if it did it's within it's warranty, I like this connection as I can use it from my motor and the quad. I think the Lightforce range is the best once you get past the teething problems i.e wiring.
