Cigarette Lighter Pushed THROUGH Dash!

[SMB2500]

First post here... please go easy on me!

Bought a 2000 Mazda B2500 last week (same as Ranger in most instances, right?). It didn't have a cigarette lighter element in the lighter receptacle. So, even though I don't smoke, I thought I'd put one in. As I pushed the element in, it pushed the entire lighter assembly through the dash! I can see it in there, but how do I get it out to repair it??

I have a feeling it was already broken, as there was absolutely no resistance or noise of anything breaking as it was pushed in.

Recommendations are appreciated! Do I need to pull the dash apart? Pull radio out? Install aftermarket lighter?

Thanks!

Nevermind! The dash trim bezel pulled right off, giving me access to the lighter. All I need to do is replace the bezel, or weld a bit of plastic in the hole where it has broken. A mountain has become a mole hill!
