OK then. I have a '94 which shares parts thru '96 so it may be similar to yours. Use a 7mm socket to remove screws along bottom of dash. Some fasteners are behind the "modesty trim" which snaps off. Remove fasteners attaching ash tray and pull outward and down. **** for headlamps comes off with help from a hook tool to retract the friction catch at the ****'s face. The conical plastic bezel in front of headlamp **** screws off by hand. The cigar lighter has 2 wires with push-on terminals. Two fasteners above speedo. Some plastic catches around circumference of dash panel. Should lift away at this point. You may have to tilt steering wheel fully down for clearance.
