I have a 2000 volkswagon new beetle GE and the head lights keep going out every few months,I replaced the head light wiring harness for both the driver side and passenager side and that did not solve the problem I am still replacing the head lights.

Instructions

1. • Turn the headlight switch on and inspect the headlights. Make sure to check both low- and high-beam lights, and then note the position of the bulb in the headlight assembly. Low-beams are in the top cavity of the assembly and high-beams are in the lower cavity.
   • 2Turn off the headlight switch and then remove the keys from the ignition.
     
   • 3
     
   • Open the hood and locate the seam to the headlight assembly and the side fender. Locate the headlight assembly release lever and push in on it slightly to unlock it and then pull it all the way up until it stops.
     
   • 4Place a blanket or pillow on the ground in front of the headlight assembly. Push the assembly outward from behind with one hand while being ready to catch the assembly with the other. The New Beetles use an adhesive sealant to protect the back of the headlights from exposure to moisture, so you'll have to give the assembly a push from behind.
     
   • 5Pull the wire harness plugs off from both the high- and low-beam blades of the respective bulbs.
     
   • 6Place the assembly on the blanket or pillow. Release the wire clip to the faulty headlight and then remove the headlight bulb.
     
   • 7Open the package of the new H1 bulb replacement without touching the glass portion of the bulb with your bare skin. Oils in human skin will damage the bulb. Handle it only by the metal base of the bulb insert.
     
   • 8Insert the new bulb in the appropriate headlight-assembly cavity and reattach the bulb retaining clip to lock the bulb in place.
     
   • 9Lift the assembly up and plug the wire harness plugs back into the respective blades of the bulbs.
     
   • 10Push the headlight assembly into its cavity, but before locking it in place, check the lights by turning on the headlight switch.
     

Open the trunk, push back the carpet in the area of the tail light. You will find 2 or 3 black plastic wing nuts. Take these nuts loose and remove the whole light assy. from its bay. Once out remove the wiring harness by twisting the plug 1/4 turn to access the bulbs.

I own a 2000 vw i replaced the rear driver light bulb and side on the drivers side, but still does not come on. any suggestions, syh

Very common for the coil pack to fail on this model, also the plugs are a pain to change and are often left, try these first.

Here is a link for you that should help. Good luck and keep me posted. http://newbeetle.org/forums/technical-how/171-how-replace-your-head-light-bulbs.html

You must have of pinched or clipped a sensor wire. Replace sensor and wire and the problem should go away. Mike. Rate 100% and respond back please.

Take to dealer. The wiring harness on the New Beetles have issues.

Not certain, but you may be referring to the blue light that indicates when the water temperature in the cooling system is "cold". It's typically blue when the car first starts, then changes color when the water temperature rises. If the light remains blue the water temperature isn't heating up, and you may want to have the cooling system flushed and checked. Depending upon the cars mileage, it may be time to flush the cooling system anyway.
