[QUOTE="Hecta G, post: 4100240, member: 584552"] [CENTER][COLOR=#ff0000]DISCLAIMER[/COLOR] [/CENTER] [COLOR=Red]********** As with anything if you decide to do this to your car I am not responsible for what may happen, you take complete and total responsibility. I am in no way liable for your mistakes or errors ********************[/COLOR] [CENTER][COLOR=#ff0000]DISCLAIMER[/COLOR] [/CENTER] Now that we got that out of the way. Hey guys, I'm usually on the enclosure and construction forum but thought that I would post this here in hopes that it would help someone in the near future. I've looked around and was not able to find decent information on running power from the battery to the trunk for a 99 Jetta so I did it today and thought to document the firewall penetration side. In this first picture, i am using the brake housing as a point of reference.
