Re: power in the trunk

I take it you have a mk4? Would really help with that type of info. How much current does the meth kit consume? All questions that need answering.
PS In mk4 trunks there is a lighter socket for low current usage.

Re: power in the trunk

well you're going to need to control it too, so when you run the switch wiring to it, run an extra few wires, then you can also add the rear fog later, reverse cam .....

there's a nice channel there to run wiring if you take off the lower mouldings, shouldn't take too long.

edit: run power from the fuse box instead of the battery

10.5 amps? Run a wire from the battery as nothing else is worth to risk of using and overloading the circuit. Running a wire is not all that hard anyways and you can add a inline fuse to protect the kit.
