It needs a low beam bulb, but looks like the whole headlamp assembly has to come out b/c there`s no room to get to it from behind. If so, how does it come out?How does the headlight bulb come out on a 2008 Beetle?shaggy, the battery does NOT need to come out, don't scare the poster
second poster's right, there's a tab on the plastic ring that you need to pop, and then wiggle the whole light assembly out and disconnect the wires
access for the bulbs is a panel you undo at the back of the light assembly, and the low-beam bulb is the first one you encounter when you reach in
putting it back in requires even more wiggling, as you tighten the plastic ring and lock it in place (pay attention that you get the light back in flush to the body work)
don't worry if you break the plastic rings, dealers always have them on hand because their techs break them frequently, $20/side at the worst

Once out the bulb holder just twists out so you can replace the bulb with ease
