Gurgling Sound on Start-up & Dim Lights

Ok I have two issues....I've searchd and found that the gurgling issue on start could be either ATF related (too much), or air in the cooling system. I did check my ATF and its right at the high mark. I didn't do anything with the cooling system except add some distilled water today because I found it was low. I recently had the radiator hoses replaced so I'm not sure how long it has been low.

Does anyone have other input on the gurgling sound on start up? It usually happens after I shift out of park into neutral or a drive. After about 10 seconds it goes away. When the car is warm there is a lower tendency for this to happen, but it still does happen from time to time.

The other issue is dim lights, or a light that is out on my auto climate control. I attached a picture showing which light is out. I couldn't get the faceplate off to check and see if I can replace the light somehow. Does anyone know if the lights can be replaced or do I have to get a whole new unit to fix it?

All help is appreciated.

Ryan
