Default hood question

I have a 99 FRC, and I noticed the other night that i don't have a light on the hood. Was this an option, or am i missing something? I had lights on my 95, and all of the coupes I have seen have them.

Thanks.

Should have come from the factory with one. If you are not the original owner, perhaps it was removed before you bought it. You can buy the light and install is pretty simple.

so did the FRC not come with the light. I am the second owner. You can see where the light is supposed to be but the hood liner isn't cut as if a light was there. I imagine it just didn't come with one. my FRC didn't even have a cd player so i imagine it was optioned with one.
