How to Replace the Front Headlamp Bulb on the Volkswagen New Beetle?

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

To replace the front headlamp bulb on the Volkswagen New Beetle, open the bonnet to access the components inside the engine bay: at the back of the headlamp, you will find a securing clip that must be loosened to remove the headlamp from its housing. Once the headlamp is extracted, disconnect the connector at the back, and you can then pull the bulb from its optical unit. When the old bulb has been removed, connect and insert the new one into the headlamp.
