There is a trunk light. You just have to turn it on.

These guys all have the Lux package. Unfortunately, you have to have the luxury package to get a trunk light.

Perhaps you can pick up one of those stick on circle lights at target. jk, there is a light with a switch in the trunk

I have the trunk light.

I wonder why there is even a switch for the light. Why would anyone not want it on? Unless they only access their trunk in the day.

So that you won't kill the battery if you need to leave the trunk open for a long period of time, e.g., to air it out after spilling a carton of milk.

I think car makers should stop putting them in cars. Waste of paper
