You can certainly wire up something to the existing light. Plenty are available.

Depending on where & how the light is mounted/installed, you may or may not be able to change the bulb for an LED one, like I have everywhere I could on my '011, as our vision is not as good as it used to be, so more light is better for us 
Hell, even changing the map lights out for LED's made a HUGE difference in the amount of light in the front seats, so we no longer have to fiddle around to find stuff on the floor or in the storage compartment etc...

I purchased a LED light strip, and installed it, also used clear gorilla tape to insure it didn't peal off, lots of light now

Did you hard wire or is it a battery unit?

pretty sure all the lighting in a gen 4, like my 2019, is LED already (*). The one thing I like least about my 2019 Limited is that the interior is black on black, which makes it a big light trap
(*) - I can't verify this right now, because my Expy is at the shop due to wood rats having fun with my engine wiring.

Well, mine interior is black also, so that's why the upgrade made such a huge difference compared to those puny, slack-assed OEM incadescent bulbs
As for whether the 19's came with LED's or not, I really don't know either, but then again, there are LED's with different color warthms & brightness levels, I used all 6500k....
