Default is there a trunk light?

I found it hard to believe this car does not have a bulb in the trunk

Can anyone confirm?
Mine is a 93

If you have one what side is it on?

^ditto.

Bulb probably just burned out. I recommend replacing it with an LED, much brighter.

Yes, the stock bulbs are pretty crappy though. Dont light up much. Buy a led bulb, either regular warm white or cool white and then it'll actually brighten up the entire trunk instead of just the center lol.

I actually thought about relocating that damn light myself!

You can get the led from SuperBrightLeds.com, thats where I
got all my LED bulbs from. All my interior lights except the dash is LED, bright.

So i tried replacing the bulb, and no worky, checked the socket and the pigtail, all plugged in and looked fine. Is there a fuse solely for the trunk light? Or does it run off another bulb?

I think the Climate Control/ Cig Lighter is on the same circuit. When a dime fell into my cig lighter and blew a fuse, my climate control, cig lighter and trunk light didnt work.
