Any ideas on shoring up the cigarette lighter when it's been removed one
time too many?  Both of mine are really loose.

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.

       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.
