This would be the line that should get power when your headlight switch is
turned on, turning on the dash lights, and the lights in the radio.

This would most likely be switched power, with the key / accessory position
causing power to be supplied here.

Not too sure what this one might be for, could be something else to
do with the alarm.

I think Jim was correct in thinking this is the the alarm line, in my
B3 Passat, there's a little light that blinks on the radio when the car
is off, passing for an alarm I suppose.  Don't know anything more about
it besides that observation...it might serve a more useful purpose in
higher end model Passats, as mine is the bottom of the line up being a CL.
