I have been trying to get mine out for a while, but no such luck. In my 92-95 there are two screws up under the lip. Someone told me that there are screws under the hazard lights and the clock, but I have no idea on how to get to them. I looked all over the web, and couldn't find any help. There are 4 things that are unpainted in my interior now, and that is one of em, if you find any directions let me know.

yeah the clips are a pain! also, what about painting the black bezel around the gauges themselves. I wanted to do this but the covers for the indicator lights are attached and they might get painted, any ideas?

You can take that out, 1- take out the plastic cover with 2 top screws amd two bottom clips. 2- unsrcew 4 screws on the bezel itself. (Heres where they take out the cluster but you can just unclip the clear plastic cover and get to it.) If you feel like taking it out just unclip the 4 back wire harnesses, its really not that hard.

the only way you can get to the trim itself is to take the whole entire bezel out. there is a clear plastic piece that is blocking the trim and bezel so you have to take out the whole thing. it takes about 5 miutes to take the thing out and get it ready for paint. hint**** while it is out, if you want indiglo's......now's the time to put them in
 good luck

Just look for directions on how to install gauges and they will tell you. all you have to do is unscrew the two top screws by the bezel then the screw by the hazard button and i think there is one by the clock. then just tug but be careful.
