Volkswagen New Beetle - Video tutorial

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

In order to replace the headlight bulb it is necessary to remove the headlight itself as it is not possible to access the lamp compartment. The headlight is fixed to the bodywork by means of a quick release system: it is sufficient to lower the fixing lever to be able to extract the headlight from its seat. Once the headlight has been removed, remove the protective cap from the lamp holder, unhook the bulb fixing spring and extract it from its seat, then insert the new bulb, fix it with the relative spring, re-fit the cap and reassemble the headlight. Before completing the installation of the headlight it is suggested to clean the seat and lubricate the gaskets.
