'08 TL Type-S AC Refrigerant Sight Glass

I can't find the AC sight glass. Does my car have one and if so where is it?
Regards,

Never did any work on the TL A/C system, but don't believe there is one as gauges are the way to go.

Any idea what high and low pressures should be on a 90 degree day?

FSM indicate 86 degrees F humidity 70%:
Pressures at 1500 RPM 45.5/189.2 vent temp 63.5.

The low side is higher than I use, high side lower and the 63.5 degree air temp higher.

Got to run going to a ball game.

Went to the ball game with the '08 knock around car an used a stick thermometer in the center vent, 85 degrees here and 42 degrees was the reading. Did my son's Toyota a while back and we had 38 coming out of the vents.

Here's something I found online.

Many others out there for viewing.
