For the lights there is a metal part that is bendable, just bend it out more and it will stay in there. I have had that problem before. Never encountered the wood prob though - good luck,

the wood on the driver door panel is secured with nuts. you would need to use screwdriver to take all the bolts of the door panel first. its easy.

take the 2 long bolts out forn the side compartment, its on the midle of the door panel below the arm rest
then take 2 srews from the one near the door hinch.
take the i think is 3 srews on the bottom door panel (i think it was 3)
use the flat screwdriver take the switches console up (you can pry it up, it just hold with 3 clips)
then grab the arm rest then lifts up, the whole door panel is off.
disconnect the harness.

then you can fix the nuts that secure the wood trim. (its most likely just loose)

lastly put everything back on reverse.

Hey....same shiet happened to me....passenger lights fell out too...now i can't find it.
My driver side door trim fell was out too. When I bought it didn't really noticed it until b4 I got my alarm installed. Seems like the **** i bought my car from a while back didn't know when he took the door apart that there was a screw behind the black cover on the door lever. I've been looking for a new passenger door panel. Right now i just taped it w/ duct tape.
