Default Tell me I'm wrong!

I was going to put some new wedge bulbs in my 99 GS4 tonight and noticed that when I popped my hood, I have no light for my engine compartment! I understand that Lexus is a reliable carmaker, but c'mon! It *must* be hidden somewhere and I just havent found it yet..... right?

You're not suppose to be in there...

Only authorized Lexus mechanics, and they have lights

I thought that my body shop had removed it when they replaced my grill and bumper. Now I know that I never had one. It is just as well because the only thing that I do under the hood is replace the air filter.
