Have you checked the switch?

The switch is on the light housing in the front trunk.

I found out that the light from the trunk only works when I take the key from the ignition , and for curiosity , when I open the trunk even if the engine is close the light from there also works.

It's not easy to get to..you have to take off the shroud that covers the front latch...there are four IIRC....four little plastic slot screws that you only have to turn 90 degrees to take out...then the plastic shroud comes off and you can see down into the locking mechanism...there should be two wires coing off the bottom of the latch out to the side....they go to the micro switch. Those directions worked on my older 996...I assume they're the same for the newer cars.
