2001 volkswagen new beetle need to know how to change a rear tail light?

i have looked in the owners manual and all it said was to take it a volkswagen dealer and the closest one is over 3 hours away i have the right bulb but i can figure out how to get to the old one to replace it?!?!?!?!|||INSIDE THE HATCH THERE IS AN OVAL ACCESS PANEL


BEHIND EACH LIGHT.


TAKE THAT OFF REACH IN AND YOU%26#039;LL FIND A KNOB.


TAKE IT OFF AND CAREFULLY PRY THE WHOLE LIGHT OUT.


DISCONNECT THE WIRES (JUST A PLUG) AND TAKE THE TAIL LIGHT WHERE YOU CAN WORK TO REPLACE THE BULB.


ANY CAR WASH SHOULD HAVE A REPLACEMENT.


GOOD LUCK!
