In this video, we show you how to replace the front signal and side marker light on this '98 VW Beetle. It's a pretty easy procedure. You just need a small flat blade screwdriver and a Phillips screwdriver.

There's a little door right here. Using a small flat blade screwdriver, pry it out. It comes off. There's a Phillips screw right here. Pull that right out. Your light comes out, and you can turn this counterclockwise.
Then your bulb turns counterclockwise and comes out. New bulb put in.

Here's a new light from 1A Auto, if you want to freshen yours up nice and clear, or if you've had one broken. Just take your light, put it in, and twist it to lock. There's little tab right up here. Make sure that goes into your fender. Screw it in place, nice and firm. Don't over-tighten it.
