Default Trunk Light?

Is there one or maybe mine is burned out - don't see one. Wish I had one.

I know...I wish I had one too. Yours isn't burned out...a very very big omission. Sure is dark in there.

I thought I didn't have one either, but believe it or not it's back there. open your trunk and stick your head inside and look straight up, there is a light up there with a toggle switch on it.

Ah, yeah. As already mentioned, there is a trunk light. Just flip the switch.

no problem, and you can leave the light switched on, it's like the light in your fridge, it turns off when you close the trunk.

Are you really sure about that trunk light staying on?

Yes it does turn off when you close the trunk lid all the way.
If you want to convice yourself, you can leave the trunk
pass-thru open and check by looking from inside the car.
No need to get inside the trunk to do this - hehe

Or you could just open the trunk pass-through and get in the rear seat. But perhaps that would be too easy

I don't think it's that bad, but it shouldn't be too hard to change it out real quick.
