alright take off the basil, the chrome ring around the headlight it self. now there should be some screws holding the entire headlight assembly to ur fender, remove those screws. now your wires should be clipped into a plastic piece which is connected to the contacts on the back of your headlight, remove that plastic piece with the wires, now take your new headlight and re-connect the wires to the back, put the screws back in the headlight assembly where they came from and put the basil back on. Ta-Da you've just replaced your headlight. check the headlights to see if you did it right. now stand back with a beer and admire your work. lol

I have been an auto tech for 20 years! The entire headlight assembly unscrews out of the front of the bumper. press on the headlight from the front and turn it counterclockwise to release it from the bezel!
CHeck to see if any wires fell off the back of the headlight switch or the back of the fuse block
The actual light bulb lamps are different so I believe the headlight housings will be different too.

More-likey-than-not it is a bad ground. Check your ground wire for rust or corrosion, clean and replace.
My Beetle is a 2002 it had some bad yellowing of the headlights, I tried The Headlight Solution at headlightsolution.net , the advanced headlight restoration kit worked great, it was fast, and easy. Good Luck.
On older vehicles you replace the entire headlight. On the newer vehicles you just replace the bulb unless the headlight assembly is damaged.
You have to remove the headlight assembly to get to it. Google "how to change a VW New Beetle headlight bulb" and you can find how-tos with pictures, which is helpful here because one of the bolts holding it in is nearly inaccessible.
