Default Need Help: electronics 02c5

I just got my car back from the shop and I have a few issues I was wondering how to solve:
1st- My headlights automatically come on now, and sometimes non responsive to me trying to turn the switch to off. I know its in the DIC somewhere but where?

2nd- I installed an aftermarket radio last night, and there's a gap between the radio and the top of the din. Is there a plate I can put there to block off the gap? and how do you get rid of that round metal thing in the back that prevents the radio from sitting flush?

3rd- do we need an aftermarket antenna adaptor for aftermarket radios?

Answers;

1.) Get out your manual and flip thru the options and turn off the twilight sentenial option.

2.) Look over in these stereo section for samples. http://forums.corvetteforum.com/audio-electronics-20/

3.) Yes you need an adapter, it's over in the audio section too.
