Hey dude,

Where you ever able to get the answer to your question. My tail light is out and I don't know how to replace it. Do I have to take it to the dealer?

Thanks,
Lawrence

New Beetle or Classic?

probably new since the older ones are obvious... pop off the interier panel or whatevers back there and you should be able to get to it from there

Pop off the round plastic cover plate in the trunk and unscrew the big plastic nut. Now from the outside of the car, pry the taillight assembly out by using a screwdriver on the side of the lens closest to the centerline of the car. 1/4 turn the bulb socket counter-clockwise to access the bulb.
