Trying to get to brake light circut, to replace.

Now I have read there are 3 or 4 screws holding that bottom peice of plastic connected to the dash. Ive searched and searched and nothing points me in the direction of the screws. The only one I have found is the no brainer which is left of the steering wheel before the light switch. I also have read push the brake pedel in that after you do this you will see the screws...I am so incredibly stumped.

Any1 got a diagram to show me where the other 2-3 screws are?

Any help much appreciated!

Not sure where the dash comes into play here. My brake light circuit was connected to the brake pedal.

Edit* Just reread your post and see that you're just trying to find all the screws for the dash. Mine were in plain sight. One to the bottom right of the column, one to the left (which you found) and 2 others were near the top on each side. Then, I had an interior light to disconnect on the left. I didn't have to touch the brake pedal at all to remove the dash piece.

i had that problem a few weeks ago. i found this site and i got it pretty easily.
just get rid of the spaces and put a www in the beginning, it doesnt let me post url's for some reason.
