| Can you take a couple pictures, upload to photo bucket and post 'em? It's damn easy on most of the clusters as the lens just has tabs which pop right out. Mine was completely different however. For mine, the clear lens didn't have tabs and instead was actually glued into a groove on the black portion where you need to install the rings. I did get it done, but it involved actually cutting/braking the clear plastic off, purchasing another cluster cover from Z1, carefully removing the clear lens from the other one and then re-gluing them together. It became significantly more expensive than the rings themselves and a lot more work than it is for 98% of everyone else out there. Here are some pictures of mine
cluster w/ lens removed (notice the white dots of glue in the groove)
lens I broke while trying to carefully remove it from the groove
pic of new OEM lens that most clusters use... not mine though (notice the plastic tabs around the edges) - I had to return this one
fruits of my labors - Thanks to a piece off a parts car at Z1, a lot of cutting w/ a dremel, some plastic polish, some silicone glue and some dental floss strategically placed in case future removal is necessary. Also, The two large rings snapped right in, the two smaller ones required some sanding of the holes as well as a small amount of clear silicone glue to help hold them in place. This is another difference in this cluster setup vs most others. It's not much of a pain though. I wish you luck and will keep an eye out for follow-ups
