Default Light Bulb question

Hi all -

I have a rear side-marker light that's burned out. This light is either right of or left of the tail-light. The Bentley manual says that the fender liner must be removed to replace the bulb and it's a 5-watt bulb. I will buy it first instead of pulling the wheel and liner twice.

Is this it.. a wedge style 5-watt?



Thanks!

In all the time you've been a member you never bothered to fill in any info about your NB, so it's a guess as to the year your asking about (this can be done by going to the User CP to the left in the lower purple bar above). There are bulb guides all over the web, including this one here in the Org.
New Beetle Bulb Guide (BugMod)

Here's an online resource, you'll have to enter your Make, Model and Year, but it should return you a comprehensive list of all user serviceable bulbs in your NB.

For quality bulbs, don't by in the US, go here -

Here's a "How-to" on simple bulb replacement
