I got the light bar this week, and had one other ace up my sleeve. Some early 2000's VWs have an auxiliary fuse box that can be bought separately for 12$ on amazon...I think you can see where I'm going here.

The lightbar was stupid simple to wire up, and I'm replacing the switch it came with with an OEM switch that I hope to find soon. It passes through the fuse box (that came with three 30a fuses) which in turn connects to the positive battery terminal. I plan to get some new terminals soon that will allow me to add other accessories. The fuse box has space for five accessories that I can add in the future, and I can also hook three more up to the 30A fuses with a small jumper cable, for a total of 8.
