working on a 1999 VW Jetta

anyone ever worked with a jetta? im doing an install for my friend (cathodes and LEDs) and i need to know where the hole in the firewall is or if i have to drill another one. also how do i remove the dashboard and other interior pannels?

i would suggest searchin on google for jetta/vw forums. and then askin or searching on those.

Just look around on it, and start tugging on things, sooner or later you will find out what comes off

That is true

I have a 97 Jetta, I will take a look in the morning, Haven't installed anything in it so, I dunno =D Check vwvortex.com and vwfixx.com good forums. Post pics when your done. If you want to do a CRAZY mod, change the LEDs in the AC controls, Spedometer, and Window controls

yeah i looked in all the normal places. god i hate german engineering. who makes the seats recline with a knob that looks like lumbar support. and the seats sit on a single rail that runs down the center of the seat instead of one on each side. that makes trying to mount cathodes quite fun. also vwfixx did nothing for me because apperently VWs are like Jeeps, they have standard names and then they are more deeply classified by special names (Jeep Cherokee = XJ for example) no idea what an MK3 vs an MK5 is

vwvortex.com is one of the biggest vw boards on the net. That may help ya out some.

Best of luck... L8R,

You are working on a MKIII which is 93-99

Yeah, vwvortex is a huge site, but the ppl there mainly support german styles, they don't like "custom"
