If your talking about the 2 red warning lites then one is the "generator/alternator not working" warning light and the other is the "low pressure/no oil" warning light.
The sensors may be bad or the wires came off or are broken.
THey are only accessible from the back of the speedometer.

Yes.
You can turn the speedometer off by removing the speedometer fuse. The speedometer fuse can be found in the fuse box. The location of the fuse is listed on the inside cover of the fuse box.
If this question isn't allready answered, I have a 2001 VW Beetle, there might be a dial type switch on the left of the dash for the lights, turn lights on and pull switch out to turn on fog lights.
On my VW Bug, all the idiot lights are laid out around the circular speedometer. It is in the upper left hand side of the circle, around the 11:00 position if you consider the speedometer a clock.
Pull out on the headlight switch to turn on the fog lights.
the twisty thing that turns your lights on and off.. PULL on it. they should come on.
Pull out on the light switch when you have turned it to the right to turn on the lights.
The number 7 fuse is for the back up lights on a 2000 WV Golf. This fuse also runs the speedometer and vehicle speed sensor.
Turn the lights on and pull the control straight out toward you. The green foglight symbol will turn on.
