Directly below the light, under the bumper cover, is a black triangular piece of plastic. Remove the 3 screws with the proper sized torx bit. This will give you access to the lamp wiring. Turn the light housing counter clockwise about a quarter inch and remove. Lamp can then be replaced. After doing so, rub the lamp with a alcohol wipe to remove any oils left from your finger, as not doing so will severely shorten the life of the lamp by creating a hot spot. Installation is the reverse of removal.

What can you do if your 1999 Beetle reverse lights are not working?
Had the same problem with mine. The dealership told me it was the backup light switch. I had the same problem, as do 99% of VW beetle owners. There was a recall on the Brake Light Switch. Call your dealer and they should change it for free. I did. It worked for a bit, but now i think one of my brake lights is out again.
