Volt Meter
No cutting or drilling, fit the hole perfect. Cut the wires on the old plug. Soldered and heat shrieked the new plug. Re ensemble the trim. Works great been in for probably 3 three years now. I'll look for where I got it and post it back here.
The connector is a dedicated "cigar lighter" connector and there is no mate. The connector is an Aptiv (formerly Delphi) 12176836.
If you don't want to cut this connector off, you could get some male terminal pins and just insert the wires into the connector. Use some care to keep the terminals and wires separated so they don't short out and then tape it up so they won't vibrate out.
The terminals are Metri-Pack 280 series such as Aptiv 12084586 (10 AWG), 12129498 (12-14 AWG), or 12020116 (14-16 AWG).
