I would imagine that you would have a earth an a ignition live to each

If it were me id run a new wire to it straight from the battery +ve, with a 20 amp fuse, running the earth to the bulkhead behind the dash. Or you could do the same from a spare space in the fuseboard.

The main reason for this is you can use the lighter, and/or anything else you run from the socket with the ignition off. A lot less hassle!

Original wiring to lighter socket on mine is brn + black to socket. with grey with green stripe to bulb (ground for bulb not required as bulb touches lighter socket). Thats a 1991 spec anyway.
