The bit you plug in, am i right in thinking the positive wire for these things goes into the bottom part that sticks out the prong.negative goes to the side

.am i right.

In a word, Yes, although I'm not sure whether the male part should go into the bottom.

I meant the actual cylindrical plug,the female part is in the car in situe, the bit you push in that powers the device.its got a metal prong or prope that sticks out at the bottom.and the earth wire in theory should be one of the metal contacts at the side.
