What's the easiest way to get to the rt side turn signal bulb on the dash behind the green plastic? Mine is burned out.
Also, my left one is cracked/broken, what have you used to replace the green lens?

Drop the instrument cluster enough to access the bulb and socket. You'll have to loosen the radio brace to do that and possibly lower the steering column slightly.

The green filter is simply acetate plastic. No repos. It's salvage one from another 66-70 Toro or try to find some of that plastic.

How do you loosen the radio? Also, does the cluster just come forward from removing the screws that's go around the outside?

This is going by my 69, but the cluster is same. Two screws at top of the cluster. There are 2, maybe 4, studs and nuts at the lower edge behind trim pads. The radio brace can be accessed from below and behind the cluster. The speedometer cable should have enough slack to pull the cluster rearward enough to access the bulbs at the top; if not disconnect it at transmission end. You may have to loosen the steering column support nuts enough to allow the column to drop and gain clearance. If you do be mindful of the shift indicator needle.

You will find that a Toronado is no worse to service than any other car once you understand it.

What about removing the top dashboard piece? Can I remove that and reach down into the cluster? I have to re dye that piece so I may have to remove it anyway

The cluster and most of the dash would have to come out to access the dash pad fasteners. IIRC those dash pads are a major operation. The 1966 factory Chassis Service Manual will guide you thru it.

So much for my theory that a 66 would be easier than my 84 Riviera 🤬

I guess I'll just paint it in place.

Can I get the bulbs by reaching up under the dash?
