Misunderstood, but that's also been discussed.
You'll find 2 small plastic screws on the top part of the cluster. Remove those.
Using a plastic plier remove both plastic parts on the sides(odometer reset trip piece & small dimming **** on the left side with the green and red light.
You should be able to pull the black frame out now, using a plastic plier but being very gentle pull it towards you.
When that's out, you'll find 4 screws holding the cluster in the corners.

Thank you so much.
Just don't understand this part and don't know to do it.

Try this.... this how I removed mine
Remove upper and lower steering column cowl.
Refer to link for removal of cowl...
https://www.clublexus.com/forums/ls4...-write-up.html
After cowl removal, loosen two upper cross tip screws on cluster trim ( black ) as shown in pdf. Once loosened grasp screws and pull downward, they are screws within plastic fasteners, same as the ones that hold the plastic trim in the engine bay covering the radiator.
Next slide fingers between the clear plastic of speedo display and cluster trim, at the same time reach through the left side of steering column and grasp the the trim from the side of where dim/brightness **** is located with other hand. Pull towards you with both hands at the same time until clip release. Do right side the same way. My top did not want to release, I used a butter knife wrapped in electrical tape to prevent scratching components and worked it free by sliding knife, starting at one end and working my way to the other until freed. Next disconnect electrical connectors and you'll have access to cluster display
I know my directions may not make any sense, it's been a long time since I had it apart. Let me know if you don;t understand, I can take pics for you, it only takes like 5 minutes. Tomorrow hanging around the house waiting on a.c dude and fishing off the dock, so no problem

Note the points where clips are located that retains trim in pics below.
I used a butter knife taped with electrical tape when I removed but there is no need, grab upper trim on backside and pull, trim will release easily

Thank you so so so much.
So you are saying, the only 2 screws holding the whole pcs is the upper 2 screws on the back trim.
After remove those 2 screws, I can just pull the whole thing out?
Thanks again
