Default Where on earth is the cabin air filter in 2001 LS430

Hi
I have a 01 LS430. I read some some people saying that on other models such as 97 and 04, the cabin air filter is in the glove box. I emptied mine looked in mine and could not find any!

Is it the top glove box or the bottom glove box?
Do I have to physically remove the glove box?

Does it involving unscrewing the glove box?

Any suggestions (pictures would be great) would be greatly appreicated.

Thanks

Once you empty the glove box, there should be a little tab that you press and then remove like a "door". That should reveal the filter which you then pull out.
