Replacement of Front Headlamp Bulb

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

Open the bonnet and unclip the retaining spring of the headlamp unit. Pull the entire headlamp unit outwards and disconnect the connectors. Remove the bulb holder clip and take out the bulb. Insert the new bulb, taking care not to touch the glass bulb with your hands. Refit the bulb holder in its housing and secure it with the spring. For the replacement of the other bulbs, proceed in the same manner. Carefully refit the lighting unit into the vehicle's housing. Repeat the same operation with the other unit. Check the operation by turning on the headlights.
