How do you change the driver side headlamp bulb on a 2001 Volkswagen Beetle?

Well. The 1st time I had this on mine, it took 5 VW bods 45 minutes! If you look in the user handbok it explains how to do it, but if it's the 1st time it's been changed then I expect the slide catch that releases the lamp unit will be stuck! Dab some 3 in 1 oil or WD40 around the release catch (bearing in mind you are going from the users hand book to see whats involved)
You may be able to push the headlamp unit out, but the outer rubber seal may be stuck, so ease it free with a blunt blade. Thumb rule is to watch how it comes out, as you'll need to remember this when you pop it back in.
Once you have released the unit, the bulb san be changed via a push & release bulb holder within the unit, but be carefull not to touch the bulb if its a halagon bulb as it may explode (hold it with a tissue or lint free cloth)
Ease the headlight unit back into place, with a bit of trial & error! This job is best to be done in good day light.....
My best advice & one I have given to other people who have stopped me in car parks and asked the same question, is to go into a VW garage (not main dealer) and ask them to show you, while you wave some hard cash under their nose......
