first you have to take of the beauty ring, this is done by unscrewing the screw in the bottom of the beauty ring. Next, you have to unscrew two screws on the either side of the light, don't unscrew the one on the top because that is just the beam adjuster. Finally, unplug the wire from the back of the light and it's out.

You have to remove the headlight assembly to get to it. Google "how to change a VW New Beetle headlight bulb" and you can find how-tos with pictures, which is helpful here because one of the bolts holding it in is nearly inaccessible.


How do you replace a headlight bulb in a voltswagon beetle?

There's a chrome trim ring around the headlight, which pries off. Remove it, and you'll find another ring around the headlight, which is held on with three screws. Remove the three screws and the ring, and the headlight will fall out in your hand. Unplug the old, plug in the new and..."installation is the reverse of removal."


How do you remove the headlights out of a 1972 Volkswagen beetle not super beetle?

You do it the same way on both. The headlight has a chromed trim ring around it. It's held on with one screw at the bottom. Remove the screw and pull off the ring. The lamp itself is held on with another ring that's attached to the car with three screws. Remove all three and the ring will come off, followed by the headlight.
