one of the bulbs is out. I would tell you to use the nifty search feature since this has been covered many times, but just realized the search they have now sucks.

yeah i tried searching but it never seems to work. I checked, all the lights are working? Unless there is a light under the lens that runs the whole way across the trunk lid above the key slot?

The bulbs have a specific ohm so just replacing them won't help.. Get the Nissan or one from another Z
