To remove the rear lights of a 1999 Volkswagen New Beetle, you can follow these steps. Open the rear hatch to access the lights.

Remove the interior lining of the trunk to expose the lights. Locate the screws or bolts that secure the light to the body of the car. Usually, there are two or three screws that can be removed with a screwdriver or a wrench.

Disconnect the electrical connector of the light. You may need to press a release tab to separate the connector.

Gently pull the light outward to remove it from the vehicle's body. If necessary, remove the bulbs by turning them counterclockwise before removing the light.

Remember to handle the components carefully and turn off the engine and remove the key from the ignition before starting any work on the lights for safety reasons.

Once the tires have been properly inflated, you can turn on the instrument cluster and navigate through the menu until you find the option that indicates tire pressure: if this screen shows the new values, the light will turn off; otherwise, you will need to drive for a few miles so that the sensors can read the new values and turn off the light afterward.
