I have a 2005 New Beetle, I assume the round fog lights under the front bumper are the same. Replacing the bulb is very simple... First, don't disconnect any wires from the back of the fog light housing. The back of the housing, it's black in color, turns counterclockwise to remove. The entire housing will turn about a quarter turn and you can pull it off. It still has the wires attached so let it hang down. This exposes the bulb's base which is held on by a tension clip. Push the top of the clip inwards and then move slightly to the side to release the tension. The clip will hang down, the bulb can now be removed by pulling it out by the base.

To install the new bulb, reverse these directions. Remember, don't handle the new bulb by the glass as the oils on your hand can cause the bulb to break when turned on. As a precautionary measure, it is wise to wipe down the new bulb with alcohol prior to installation to remove any oil that may have gotten on it. Put the new bulb in the seat where the old one came out...there are two dimples in the seat that line up with the tits on the base of the bulb. Once seated, hold the bulb in place with the tension clip, sliding the top of the clip over to catch the groove it came out of. The clip will now hold the bulb in place. Fit the black plastic housing back into the rear of the lamp, wires still attached, and turn clockwise about a quarter turn till you feel it click. Pat yourself on the back...you're done. bb
