in the rear trunk area there are 2 round plastic covers - 1 in each corner opposite lights ; pry round plastic cover off with screw driver; with your hand unscrew plastic fan nut in center of rear light ;be careful not to drop it when removing or you will need a small child to retreive it; once you remove the nut you must twist yhe light with the palm of your hand and gently pry it out; once the light housing is out you just twist bulb holder counter clockwise and pull it out ; push in bulb gently and twist to release ; install in reverse order

The rear turn signal bulb in a 2005 VW Beetle Convertible can be replaced by opening the rear hatch (engine compartment). The bulb's inside lens has to be removed and then the bulb can be exchanged for a new one.

You will remove the two bolts from the bulb, then turn the bulb from the bulb holder, the bulb should come right out. You are now ready to install the new bulb.

Its relatively easy, if the light bulb is busted get a new one. unscrew the bolt on top of the signal light cover. twist carefully the bulb until u feel a slight push from the assembly. replace the bulb and put on the cover. if the old bulb is broken, you can use a pair of pliers to remove the broken bulb.

Inside the trunk or hatch, remove the nuts(often 4)that are on the inside near your tail light. The whole tail light assembly can be pulled outward to change the bulb. The bulb assembly twists off. Replace bulb. Assemble in reverse order.
