New lights in the cluster?
These lights have never come on before and beep sounds like a radar detector. They flicker sometimes and beep while driving i have no idea what they are for? SOS?

it goes through what looks to be a check when they key is turned to 2nd notch. Both red lights flicker then a green light stays on after its done. It will also blink while driving and make audiable beep noises.
Is it an aftermarket intergrated radar detector?

That would be a fair guess. I don't think I've ever heard of anything like that. I don't know how comfortably you are getting behind the dash, but I would try to trace the wires and see where they go. Maybe you'll get lucky and find a pot of gold!
The picture is a little blurry from the lights, but does it look factory on the dash? Are the lights symmetrical and even?
Let me know what you find out.

hey bro looks like you have a K40 radar detector in your car the left side on is for the front detector and the right side is for the back there should be an on/off switch somewhere close to you check under your dash maybe in center glove box?? the k40 is like almost 2K installed

Ya i just found that switch today. Notice it has two modes as in the K40 2000 manual (city and highway + volume). Seems to trip out alot, probably on the wrong mode. Hear anything good about this system, is it dated?
Good to know that for the great info
