my friend told me about this. he also told me that our trunk is very sound proof and he could not hear a thing when he was in there. I was in a 06 honda civic si and the trunk was loud as hell and i could not find the quick trunk release in there lol. only reason he was in my trunk was i had no more space in the car and they didnt not want to lap up

I'm sure that it will fade over time. But, I think it only takes a quick second of light to get it to glow.

What I like most about the "handle" is the picture on it.

I CAN SEE THE LIGHT!!!!! Yes, this trunk release that has the glowing chemical element to it was made popular on many cars several years back as a safety net for kids. I remember seeing it on the Ford Taurus. My gen 1 IS300 had it. Kind of reminds me of an "After School Special" gone right!!!
