No Frunk Lighting?

[foto005]

I have a 2016 Model S 85D and was about to upgrade the frunk light. However, when I removed the light it appears to be just a blank. Looked like the standard light, but there were no wires connected to it. I felt behind with my fingers but couldn’t find any wires. Am I on crack or, let me guess, it is part of a package in order to get frunk lighting?

Any ideas?

Here is an image with the blank bulb removed.

I’m about 90% sure the frunk lighting is a standard feature, but I couldn’t prove it to you conclusively. I have a 2015 S85D with tech package and AP1 but without premium lighting, and it has that light. (On the other hand it didn’t come with ambient lighting, rear door puddle lights, rear footwell lights, or the interior lights on either side of the trunk hatch. Most of those I retrofitted with Abstract Ocean bulbs.)

I wonder if the wire just wasn’t connected and it might be dangling in back of the nosecone or in front of the frunk tub.

Maybe you should look further, take apart a bit more? I cannot imagine that this wiring is not standard.

It appears that the only lighting in my 2018 Model 3 frunk is in the lighted push button latch, and so is no way to upgrade. Is very dark in there at night. So have to have my iPhone flashlight handy. Is there any way to upgrade this lighting?

They sell upgraded frunk lighting that's supposed to be brighter on Amazon you can replace yourself, haven't ordered them yet but considering it

My 2016 has lighting in the frunk. I have not seen a Model S that doesn't have it. Perhaps someone had to take your frunk out for a repair, and dropped the wire; then just didn't bother fishing it out.

I upgraded to the LEDs from RPM Tesla, because those were the brightest I could find.
