Knowing the thought put into everything else I'd think there is a logic to this as well, it's just lost on me.
Our 05 has a light on the hood which does seem to turn on sometimes (must be the headlight connection) but your saying there is another trunk light inside the trunk? The one on the hood does a good job of blinding me if I want to use it to see in the trunk.
This is your license plate light not your trunk light, the trunk light is inside your trunk right rear.
