I checked out the tech section, and it didn't list it.. Does anyone know the bulb type, wattage, number, for the open trunk light???

Mine has 12V 5W on it.  The pins are directly across from each other.  I can't read the number on it (too small for my eyes)  More pictures for you. ;D

5W--like a nightlight at home.  Enough light to let you know the lamp is illuminated, but not for much else... ;)
