I pulled the DIC out and took the bulbs out. SURPRISINGLY they are special bulbs and the stupid dealers dont sell them... you have to replace the whole unit. FAIL! anyway, i ripped the bulbs out of the plastic little sockets and installed some new bulbs... It now lights up... i think one bulb isnt but its ok anyway. So now i just need to get a new chipped key and program it, and hopefully this car is ready to go.
