Re: Alarm LED locations

["Joshua Strait" <joshua13s@hotmail.com>]

I went to Chicago to see this one guy's Scirocco (it was the bomb).  
Anyway he was electronically inclined and he found the coolest spot for 
an LED.  You know right under the engine warning lights there are those 
five little black dots the same size as the lights??  Useing a hand 
drill he boared those out and replaced them all with LEDs.  I'm not sure 
how he wired them up but when the alarm is activated the lights travel 
from side to side just like the front of Kitt on Knight Rider.  Phat 
Phat Phat!!!  He says people are always saying "I didn't realize VW had 
factory alarms?"  I saw him back in november and I emailed him once or 
twice about how to wire them up but he never got back to me.  I might 
try again pretty soon though.  I'm telling ya, it looked awesome!!!
