How to Remove the Front Headlight from a Volkswagen New Beetle

Model: Volkswagen New Beetle MK 3 - Years 2011-2018
Part: Headlight

To remove the front headlight from a Volkswagen New Beetle, open the bonnet to access the engine bay. Near the headlight to be replaced, you will see a screw at the end of a black bracket. By loosening this screw, you can slide the headlight assembly out from the front and disconnect the connector inside to fully remove it. Once the old headlight is removed, you can replace it by inserting a new replacement part. This should be connected to the connector, placed in its housing, and secured with the corresponding screw.
