The heater control panel also is just a push fit and can be carefully pried
out using a blade. There are 4 posts locating it in the dash, one at each
corner of the panel. (First hand knowledge of this recently, when my van
was broken into and the stereo ripped off; the a**hole damaged that panel
and levers in the process).

It is actually fairly easy to remove the cigarette lighter from the dash.
While it may not be the preferred or only way of doing it, I have found
that using a wooden or plastic wedge in a prying motion around the
circumference of the socket works well. IIRC, the lighter is only a
friction-fit situation, no pesky screws or other. Limited slack in the
wiring, so when it finally gives proceed with caution.
Just be patient and apply the prying evenly.

I too would like to know how to get that cigarette lighter out of there.

Hi there... My illuminating lights behind the heater/vent
control panel and the cigarette lighter (with green ring) in my 88 Weekender
went out for a while. With daylight getting shorter and more driving in the
dark, I decide to get those light bulbs replaced, anyone experience in
replacing bulb in those two places? Do I have to tear them out of the
dashboard? Or let my hand crawling inside the dashboard? Any advice will be
appreciated... Thanks.
