I'm sure this has been covered previously, but as a new member, I'm desparate for answers to what seems to be another common problem with the beetles. My son owns a 2000 VW New Beetle 1.8T with a burned out drivers side low beam headlamp. What is the process to replace this bulb without having to go to the dealer?

Just type the word headlight into the search function at the top of the New Beetle forum page & you will see alot of threads on the proceedure.
