What you see in the video is a problem that occurs frequently in the New Beetle, often caused by both main beam bulbs burning out simultaneously. The electronics in Volkswagen interpret the lack of current to both main beams as a signal that keeps the dashboard light on. Therefore, check the bulbs, verify the fuses, and inspect the electrical connections to the front headlights.

This is an example of how, in a modern vehicle, an apparently complex issue like a persistent warning light can have a simple mechanical solution.
