#48 of 99 Tail light replacement in 2003 VW New Beetle Turbo by shapiro Jan 01, 2008 (4:00 pm)
The driver's side taillight is much dimmer than the one on the passenger side when the brakes are applied. Thinking that there might be two bulbs in the tail light, I took the car to AutoZone to purchase a new bulb and to ask how to get the old one out. When I opened the trunk, there was no access to the tail light assembly, even after removing some of the lining of the trunk well.   I searched this forum but found no information, so have to ask, "How do I replace the tail light bulb?" The AutoZone salesperson had an older Beetle, and said I may have to remove one of the body panels to access the tail light. Is that true?   Thanks for sharing the light replacement procedure with me.   Jerry Replies to this message: amandak2 (Jan 21, 2008 4:08 pm) dartydave (Mar 21, 2008 7:31 am)

#53 of 99 2000 beetle headlamp turn signal blower failure by soup46173 Jan 10, 2008 (8:52 am)
I have a 2000 Volkswagen Beetle that the battery went dead. We replaced the battery and a few days later the the headlamps, turn signals, blower motor, and wipers quit working. The last time this happened it was the ignition. Has anyone had this problem? Replies to this message: ocbeachgrl16 (Jan 11, 2008 10:04 pm)

Replying to: shapiro (Jan 01, 2008 4:00 pm) hey jerry,          I noticed it has been a while since you have posted your dilemma. In case you have not figured it out, I have a 2001 beetle, and might be able to help you. There are two circular pieces of plastic on the inside of your trunk, opposite the taillights on the outside...they should be black and sloped. These pieces pop off, giving you access to the lamp. All you have to do is push the taillight out from the inside (by means of a weird protrusive, funny-bent wire). There, you will find the wires and the housing for your lights, which simply unclip. Make sure when you replace the light, you tighten the lens back on to your car. Good luck... now off to find out how to fix my electrical problems!   Hope I could help!   Amanda
