4 hex head bolts at the 4 corners of the instrument panel bezel. I think Haynes says you have to pull the steering wheel off to remove the instrument panel, but I have pulled them out many times with the steering wheel in place...you just have to literally pull down on the steering wheel a bit while you are removing the instrument cluster. By the way, there were TWO different instrument panels used, at least in the 1986 version. One, the deluxe one, had a tachometer, the other did not. They are interchangeable...I bought a 'deluxe' one from a junkyard and it went right place of my original...even the tachometer wiring was all in place in the harness and connectors, so for very little money I 'upgraded' to having a tachometer...of course, that meant my odometer was no longer right. But since I kept the car until I had 250,000 miles on it, no one would have been concerned with the "real" odometer reading anyway...it had gone around 2.5 times already.
The instrument bezel cover on the dash is removed by gently coaxing it out of the space. On the 2006 Suzuki Forenza, this part is not glued, screwed, or clipped in. Use a flat screwdriver around the edges to remove it.

Remove the two screws at the top of the instrument cluster. This will allow you to pull out the entire bezel. Pull out the bezel, and pop the switch out from the bezel.

If you are talking about the instrument guage cluster this is easy. Simply remove the two 7mm screws that hold the guage bezel . These are located in the top of the guage bezel. Pry the bottom of the guage bezel loose with a screwdriver. It should pop out easily. Pop off the upper steering column cover (it snaps on) and tilt the sterring column down all the way to provide more clearance for the guage pod removal. Disconnect the trip odometer switch wire and remove the bezel. Remove the four 7mm screws that hold in the instrument guage pod and unplug the wiring harness. Tilt the guage pod backwards and remove it.
Nevermind. I found the solution through another question.
