Default need help: computer and interior lighting

I need two things guys, and I am well aware that when it comes to the box you guys know more than TRD, spent and hour on the phone with a tech there, got transfered to TTE (yeah my cellphone bill is going to be huge) and no one knows where I can get the computer to adjust my VVTi engine, I need the computer so I can adjust my rpm timing.

Now for something completely different I am planning on installing fog lights and interior lightin but I want to run both off my cigarette lighter, so how do you pull that panel so that I can get to the wiring, if there is someway where I don't mess with the AC that would be great

WEll, thanks guys, gals, bipeds,

For a very small amount of additional labor, you could hardwire the fogs and lighting to be turned on by switches. Those three knockouts above the cigarette lighter can be used for switches for fogs and lights. It will look a ton better than having several plugs for a cigarette lighter.

Try this:

that is what I am planning to do, I just didn't know how to take the panel off, I now know that there are just two screws behind the right and left ac/heater *****, you know the one for temp and the other for which ventthe air comes out

Just curious, but why would you want to mess with your timing??

if you adjust it properly you can alter where your power curve is located. If I can drop it a 1000 rpm I will get must better take off the line, plus I used to do it to my buick all the time to change the sound, you know sometimes you want a throatier exhaust sound, and sometimes more like drums
