I have seen a few around on the site, check the lancer forum,
There is 2 screws on the top black piece in front of the cluster, the screws are facing down, so you got to look up from the bottom of the seat to see the holes,

After this is removed there are 3 more screws you will see, take them out.

Now slowly pull the gauge cluster out towards you and rotate as needed, the cluster has 2 plugs in the back they need to be removed, then its out

Repeate in reverse to put evo cluster in.

replaced cluster, super easy.

it was litererally as simple as kaoscage said it would be. remove the two screws in the trim, 3 screws on the cluster itself, and then wiggle it around til you get it out. unplug the old, replug the new and screw it back in. easy as cake.
