Installing an LED strip in the boot will certainly improve visibility. Essentially, you need to identify where to attach the strip and power it. The best position is close to the original lamp holder.

Remove the lamp holder from its housing, take out the bulb, and insert the wire to power the LED strip. Now, stick the strip in place and connect it to the socket in the original lamp holder: this way, the LEDs will light up when the boot is opened and turn off when closed.
