Removing Front Headlight on New Beetle

Model: Volkswagen New Beetle MK 2, 9C - Years 1999-2012
Part: Headlight

Want to remove the front headlight on a New Beetle? Here's how to do it. Compared to many cars, the vehicle mentioned in the video has a very simple and quick headlight removal system (for both front and rear). Lift the bonnet, reach into the engine bay, and (specifically at the back of the headlight) pull the plastic lever upwards, then disconnect the power connector. Once the headlight is out, replace any damaged bulbs or the entire unit. Refit the headlight into the car's body and secure it in place with the retaining plastics. Test the operation.
