    How do you pop out the small switch blanks next to the cigar lighter? And how do you get back there to work? Thanks

    I use a little angled pic to pull out the switch blanks. As far as how to get in there, pulling out your radio and a/c controls will give you the most room. You could also remove your center console if you need access underneath the cigar lighter.

    If you plan to drill a hole for a new switch or dont care about the blank, I just took a wood screw and put it in half way,,,,,,then pull....comes right out. If you place the screw strategically then its just a pilot hole for the new switch.
