No Trunk Light in 2.5TL

I've only had my 2.5TL a few months and had noticed the trunk light was absent. I thought bulb was blown. However yesterday, I decided to replace the bulb and found there is no light in the trunk. I thought trunk lights were standard on even bottom of line vehicles, but apparently not.

Do the premium 2.5 TL and 3.2 TL have trunk lights? If yes, perhaps I can add the fixture to my trunk. I really miss the light when looking for something in the trunk in the dark.

Regards

I should have looked in my shop manual! duh! It's there in other models. I'll have to check to see of wiring harness pigtail is included or whether I'll have to splice the wiring.

I checked Majestic Honda for Base 2.5TL and it does indeed show the trunk light as a part. I'll take another look. Perhaps I missed it, but I don't think so.

It's in center of the rear body trunk openng near the lip, correct?

thanks

Yes, I found it w/ another inspection. I missed the grilled plastic housing somehow. Bulb had vibrated loose from the socket. Insert bulb and voila!, light.

thanks
