Wouldn't it be easier to leave the connectors connected?

@cindyrico8215 says:

Thank you so much. I know nothing about engines . I know how to put gas in and check the oil. Now I have this 99 vw beetle that has been sitting for 3 yrs. I'm almost there at getting it running again. Thank you again.

@tkin5265 says:

My 2008 beetle doesnt look like that. Its a 2008 convertible. Looks like the whole corner panel has to come off but im not sure.

What do you do if taillight refuses to pop off?? I am so frustrated

@PaulStiffler-c1m says:

Are both light bulb sockets the same

@takastyle says:

Should I disconnect the battery before starting the replacing the tail light, or don't need to? Thx

@r1gbysj0k3rrch2 says:

My tail light went out after hitting a pothole in the freeway. This is so much easier than anticipated since the front lights require so much more to remove.

@merlin2025 says:
