Do you have to replace the whole headlamp assembly when a headlight burns out in a 1998 vw beetle?
no, but you have to remove the complete assembly.
There is a clip on the assembly inside the engine compartment - undo the clip and there is a tab that you push up and you should be able to feel the assembly move - sometimes you have to pry the outside of the headlight with a screwdriver and the whole thing slides out.
Unplug the harness and open the back plastice and the bulb is there.

I am facing the same problem with my 2003 Beetle. Some have suggested drilling a smail (1/16") hole in the slider and using an awl to move the slider lock up. Others on a model year I don't recall, removed the assembly to get into the slider lock assembly. Good luck! See also: http://www.cindyli.com/index.php/site/comments/vw_beetle_headlight_replacement/

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
