Use 2.5mm to 4 mm tri-rated cable and youll be ok - a bulb on a 12v DC supply will pull approx 1 amp whereas depending on the wattage of the fag lighter it will pull roughly 15-20 amps i would have thought which equates to a 2.5mm minimum earth cable.

might be worth using slightly thicker wire incase you want to run anything else in future

and I think a cig lighter will pull more amps then a bulb
