Which trunk? What do you mean by a light box? Headlight housing? My "73 didn't come with one & CA couldn't have cared less. They just wanted 10 % of the purchase amount to get the car registered.

I've never seen a USA emissions sticker in 914 trunks.
If your's survived the ages it would be affixed to the lower Driver-side corner of the windshield. A clear sticker with very small-case black printing. Another (VW logo) emissions white vinyl sticker ( red lettering) was in the engine compartment near the knock-out areas for the 9146 oil tank. Most of these stckers are gone in the wind ! Cali only wants the sales tax revenue on '75 or earlier 914s. 1976 you get to find a smog shop for a dose of red tape, to bring along to the DMV (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

To answer the question, no.

As the Maltese Falcon said, Emissions labels were located on the drivers side engine bay on the sidewall above the relay board. Certain model year CA-market cars had an additional clear label on the windshield. 1975-76 models had a drivers door jamb label indicating a required cat converter or not.

Examples of these labels are on my Classic 914 website at the link in my sig below.
