Under the hood light?

Did thirdgens come with a light underneath the hood. My 92 Firebird doesn't seem to have one, and if it does I can't find it. Anyone know if we have them and if we do, where are they?

yes

should be near the back, underside obviously, closer to passenger side... maybe the bulb is missing? check for a little metal scoop...

underside? What do you mean by this? I can't find the light! Can anyone supply a pic? Is it on the firewall, back or sides? What is it nearby? Help...

My '87 came with one... Doesn't work... but it has it, yes..

MY question is: How does the light know the hood is UP?
my dad's brother said most have a mercury switch (Which becomes corroded or something, over time)

the guy next door says that this light doesn't use one of those..

We were playing around with it and got it to flicker *ONCE*.. the lightbulb works.. but can't find out how to get the damn thing itself to work.
