Anyone know where I can buy a bulb for the trunk light or what kind of bulb it even is? Thanks

Local Advance Auto Parts has the cross reference and stocks all the bulbs including the one for the trunk light.

If you look at the trunk circuit it is really a bad design prone to have problems over time. For example, why is the trunk light wired to the running lights? I put in a 3" square LED panel where the light was with a nice big easy to find on off switch and a separate circuit run off the battery. I can have nice bright trunk light car on or off that will last for days.
Buon giro a tutti! - enjoy the ride!

The light in my '82 was mounted just to the right of the driver's side trunk lid hinge. It is covered by a clear (frosted) plastic cover that you remove to change the bulb. The trunk light is on whenever the lights are on, even if the trunk is closed.

Same on my 80, the 2 wires came up inside the area ahead of the wheel well, from the inside passenger compartment.
