Default Removing piece around gauges, Need help!

Does anyone have a right up on how to remove the dash piece around the gauges? iam working on changing my headlight switch and i cant get the peice around the gauges off. I have removed the peice under the steering wheel, and all the other peices, i just cannot get the piece around the gauges (the one with the clear plastic piece the covers the gauges) I have removed a screw close to the fuses and one screw on both sides of the steering wheel and it still feels snug up on top of the dash. Am i missing any screws? or what is holding it the rest of the way on?
Thanks!

It is held in by clips. It should pop out. Move your steering wheel all the way down then remove the tilt lever so you have more room. It'll come.

You can also drop the steering wheel down by removing 2 or 3 bolts under the steering column (you'll see the bracket and bolts by just looking under if you've already removed the plastic panel). That will give you more than enough room and then you just pull on the whole gauge assembly to un-plug it.

If you have a '98 - '02 Camaro and haven't gotten a T/A bezel yet, now is the time http://store.specializedstainless.co.../Detail?no=200

I drop the steering column when I have the remove my gauges. There's 4 bolts that need to be removed. Two are 13mm, and I forget what the other two are.
