How to change bulbs in my 2005 beetle vw

The headlight unit is held in place by a lever located behind each unit in the engine compartment. Some earlier units also had a locking clip. Moving the lever down releases the complete unit that can then be withdrawn out the front of the fender. Note: Road grit and general accumulations of dirt may make this less than smooth. After removing the whole unit the headlamp bulb is accessible by removing the cover at the rear of the unit and removing the bulb. Replace with new halogen bulb - do not touch the glass with bare hands as the oils on your fingers will cause hot spots and cause the bulb to fail. Replacement is the opposite of removal although you may want to clean out the fender opening before replacing the light unit. Lock in place using the locking lever.
