Replacing Headlights!

[Mandyy]

Hey everyone!

Does anyone know what kind of headlights you need for a 99 Beetle?

My headlight burnt out, so I need to replace.


Thanks!!

55w H-1. For high and low beams, for a total of four bulbs.

Hmm okay. Do you know how much they usually go for?

[Supercharged98]

Depending where you live and shop. $10-$15.

Online as cheap as $6+ ea. Depends upon the quality you want. Top quality can run $50 a pair. Google H1 Bulbs or www.yourlocalautopartsstore or pay a visit to Wally World

Canada. Haha

And I was probably just going to go to Wal-Mart or something.

Don't waste your money of Oshram/Sylvania Silverstars, they are garbage for the price. You want Oshram Silverstars (European) if your going to spend that kind of money.

Boyfriend here... I broke the clip trying to get the assembly out... Any ideas on how to get it out now, as well as part #'s to buy a replacement?

What clip are talking about? The sliding lock? Try 1stvwparts.com they're good with pricing.
