Default Trunk Light?

Is there a trunk light? I open it at night and can't see ****. Can't see anything that looks like wiring (except for the CHMSL), and I don't see a light assembly/housing.
Help.

You should have a light assembly right under where the trunk clamps the locker. It faces out toward the front of the trunk. I believe this was standard?

In the trunk "bucket" under the latch. It faces towards the front of the car.

the wiring comes from the left side in a black wiring tube. remove the panels by the top motor and you will see them. If you need to know the color i can get it for you.

As soon as I logged off last night I took a good look in there (never actually leaned over far enough) It was there, but not lit, so I figured the bulb was burnt out. Turns out it was unplugged. Plugged it back in, and it worked. Thanks guys!
