Open the hood. Unplug the headlight, then pull the headlight from the outside. Little by little until it comes off. Replace the bulb. Put headlight back in carefully. Make sure it makes a clicking sound. Plug back your headlight. And your good to go. Oh by the way it takes 2 people to do this.
under the dash on the drivers side you will have to remove the plastic cover to see them
We have detailed headlight change procedures at our enthusiasts forum www.trailvoy.com
Is it a Beetle ? if it is a beetle open the hood . locate headlamp. Next to headlamp unit undr hood is a hook or half hook shaped ring . unlock the tab under the hook and push hook downwards to release the headlamp unit . once removed unplug unit . remove back cover on headlamp. replace defective bulb . to reinstall headlamp line up ythe rails on the headlamp unit aNd push headlamp back into housing . make sure locking ring is engaged fully .
You do not need the plastic cover on the undercarriage of the Beetle necessarily. It is designed to protect the undercarriage from road debris but it is not necessary to the function of the car.
remove the black plastic radiator cover (push-pins) then remove the two bolts holding the headlamp in unplugh the bulb harness and remove mess around with the screws and clips on the headlight assembly, but i dont know if you can take the front clear plastic piece off. (and be able to put it right back on..)
Open hood, look at headlamp assembly. There will be large white/tan cover. Turn cover clockwise to remove. Turn the headlamp assembly c-clockwise and remove.
the headlamp assembly needs to be removed. remove the 3 "scrivets" in the top of the grill and remove grill. remove 2 x torx headed screws in the top of the headlamp and 1 Philips headed screw that is alongside the headlamp behind a small plastic hinged door. headlamp can now be removed and the relevant cover removed to access the bulb.
remove the plastic cover where the light is, then remove the 4 screws that hold the the thin metal frame that holds it in place. pull the bulb out, unplug it and then reverse the process
REMOVE TWO TOP BOLTS ON HEADLAMP ASSY. THEN REMOVE BUMPER COVER, THATS RIGHT THE BUMPER COVER, THEN REMOVE TWO BOTTOM BOLTS
If it is similar to my Bravada there are 2 clips that hold the entire assembly in place Lift these clips and lift out assembly then remove flexible plastic cover and bulbs are accessible
Well you can take two approches to changing the headlamp bulbs. First, although it is a tight fit you can pop the hood. remove the black plastic guards(for lack of a better word) you will see what im talking about, and reach your hand in the rear of the head lamp, remove the rubber cover and pull the bulb out and change. Another way is to remove the grille, and trim that fits underneath the headlamp, and remove the whole headlight assembly. it is alot easier to see what you are doing with the headlamp assembly removed
Open hood and remove the hard plastic cover over the headlight and radiator; this will expose most of the mounting screws. Then remove the corner lamp by removing the retaining screw at the top corner of the headlamp; this will expose the remaining mounting screws.
