Default MInor problems with sc400!

Was up yall. I bought an sc400, but it has a few minor problems. The guages in the dash don't illuminate: the in-dash lighting in the center has low lighting and is not bright: and the radio always has static when I first turn it on, but in five minutes it returns to normal. What is the problem?

Contact Lextech Lighting for the lighting issues. The radio problem seems to me a factory amplifier problem... Very, very, common on these for going out and making strange problems. Its located in the trunk under the cd changer.

I had the same radio problem with mine. Mine doesn't have a CD changer. I replaced my head unit with an Alpine one, and everything is fine now.

Yeah, currently since i havn't gotten mine fixed yet, to get my fuel backlighting to show up, i have to smack the side of the dash and it turns on. but def. the best thing it do is just send it to LLS
