Is there any mod for installing a courtesy light in the trunk which can come on when you lift the lid?
Did any models come with one which I could just pull from a donor car and install?

Both my cars have OEM trunk lights. They're mounted on the underside of the parcel shelf and are actuated by a microswitch mounted on the trunk lock.

I did this to my Mystique. Took one OEM light. Tapped into a constant 12V source. Took a door pin switch from a ZX2. Drilled a hole for the switch. Hooked up the wires as needed and voila  light in my open trunk.

Light Group:
-Dual Illuminated Vanity Mirrors
-trunk/engine bay lamps
-front map lamps
-illuminated entry
-illuminated door handles

MANUAL windows and locks? Wow. That proves how cheap these cars really are. I have honestly never used a manual window in my life, and Im going to keep it that way
