Has anyone else come across this problem?

Is it possible to buy bulb holders only which would accept a standard 501 type bulb?

I cant see any online and im now wondering if this is even possible on a 2008 V70.

Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers
Kev
I replaced the boot light for a LED (canbus), bit fiddly to fit due to heat sink but in it went and light is great. not tried anywhere else.
