in my wife's 4th gen the boot light is very poor. it uses a 28mm old style festoon bulb. so i would like to change it with a holder from the 5th gen. it uses the same size holder with the same connector as the 4th but has better bulb options.
old.
new from a 5th gen.
as this is what i want to achieve with the 4th gen as in the 5th gen.

You can get LED festoon bulbs. Have you tried one of those in the existing holder?

Exactly what I did. Something like this:

Just check it's the right length!

I did this too. I measured the length and girth (
) of the wanky old yellow bulb in the boot of my Accord. Then I bought a 16 SMD festoon bulb from china which cost bugger all. Works great, the boot is mega bright now
