Not sure if this belongs here or in chat . . . but it involves LED light upgrades, so here goes.

I have a 2003 VW Jetta. On a popular VW forum (VWVortex) I see that in the VW Passat W8 sedan, that car features an overhead dome/map light panel that includes LED "ambiance" lighting. Apparently the Passat panel can be installed in the Golf/Jetta, but the wiring isn't exactly "plug and play".

Anyone here done this? The following link will take you to the VWVortex forum that discusses this upgrade, in excruciating (and to me, confusing!) detail.

Looks like a very cool upgrade.

Thanks,

Dave

I've done more research on this LED interior lighting upgrade. For anyone that's interested, this is a cool mod for your VW. Here's a much better (and shorter!) writeup on how to do the install, with good pictures.

And here's all the parts you need being sold as one bundle.

I'm going to order the parts and install the upgrade.

Enjoy LED lights!
