This was “a thing” when I had my mk5 and figured it would be doable in the mk7 also. I’m not great at making DIYs so bare with my sloppy attempt (lol). Feel free to use this guide but do it at your own risk as I am not going to be held responsible for anything resulting from it.
I already had a Ziza LED from ecstuning on the passenger side but sometimes a little extra light couldn’t hurt.
The LED bulb/housing I’m using was given to me. It fits and works on the passenger side so I guess you could just get one off AliExpress like this one:

Instead of splicing into the existing trunk light harness for power and ground I ordered aharness which is intended/sold for adding rear footwell lights which is a plug and play solution making it simpler.

If you want to go one step further and get the “OEM finish look”. Get one of these pieces which is normally fitted in the existing passenger side (unfortunately I don’t think Vw sells this piece by itself, so you’ll have to get it from a wrecked car or something)...thought I’d mention it for the neat freaks out there lol.
First thing I did was I clipped off some of the plastics.
