My dad is very good with cars, and do basically anything to a car... but just cannot figure out how to get the headlight lens out to change the bulb?
Thank you in advance!Headlights on a 2001 VW Beetle?In order to change a bulb or replace the headlight the complete headlight unit must be removed. This is done by sliding the retainer up after releasing the lock on it. The release lever islocated on the side of the headlight assy toward the rear just below the edge of the fender where the hood sits on it. The little square belide the lever that has a crosshatch desgn on it is the lock and must be carefully pushed in. The retainer mechanism is prone to get debris in it and be hare to move. after releasing the assy it must be pulled out of the fender but do not pull on the lens as it will come off and then would have to be replaced.Headlights on a 2001 VW Beetle?About 15 years ago, they came up with composit headlite lenes and the headlamps were changed from behind. the bulb numbers were 9004 to 9007, your owners manual will list your replacement headlamp number and go buy one, this will help you understand how it is replaced. don`t touch the glass. the manual
will also instruct you on how to change the replacement capsul
also bulb in the US. you should have it done in about 10 minutes
reseal the headlite lense if you tampered with it. Its got to be clean and dry inside. your new bulb will even come with an o-ring
to keep it that wayHeadlights on a 2001 VW Beetle?You replace the bulb from the back of the light. It is a sealed assenmbly and you do not take the lens off!
