Default Brightest LED light for trunk

Want to replace the trunk light with the brightest LED available. Any suggestions?

I am also curious. When I had my Honda Fit this company made custom LED light panels for the entire car. It was expensive but they jammed as many LED's as possible into the area that they could and custom made the plug to be compatible with the bulb outlet. I've got to try and find who they were and if they make something for the IS. The IJDMToy LED's are nice for the interior but do not produce enough light for the trunk.

Some searching and I think this may be it if it fits.

The socket in my trunk required the plugs. The bulb also sits in a cradle that limits the size of the bulb. I ended up using one of these and it's much brighter than oem

something like this should work as well

one thing, when removing the enclosure, there's a good chance some small part will break, it did for me and one other member here. Was still able to put things back without anything falling all the time

Don't waste your time with this little bulbs. They won't produce enough light. For $13 you can have way better lighting. Here's mine.
