Not so easy to assemble: Lights and accessories

The flashlight seemed to fit very well, however it is very difficult to reattach the screws holding the flashlight. What seemed like a 15 minute job took almost an hour before I reinstalled all three screws.

Pros
  • Absolutely brilliant!
Cons
  • Does not fit all

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Suitable or not suitable

Seems a bit cheap. It was difficult to tighten the screws as they didn't reach like OEM cases. Also broke during installation so I would only recommend it if you have a headache, swearing, or have a very big budget and don't mind making a few tweaks.

Pros
  • Makes you happy
Cons
  • Negative is available

Bracket too short

Fits perfectly on the trunk lid, went to tighten the mounting screws and removed the bracket from the headlight, had to redo a lot to keep it in place, the only reason for not returning it a wreck here the locals leave and climb into the trunk without a little rain, order factory light is more expensive, but it's worth it!

Pros
  • GOLS certified
Cons
  • Definitely bad product

Poor compatibility with New Beetle 2003

Light works, but installation is not possible without modifications. The lenses cracked trying to install them before the change. I finally installed it but my new light broke. It's burning now, which is safer, but the old original looked better. The kit included 2 (of 3) screws that were longer than the original screws which helped with the installation.

Pros
  • Delivery was very fast
Cons
  • There are new competitors

Great light, no instructions

Very easy to install. It's very bright. The only downside is that there are no instructions on what and where the wires go and what the black piece on the back is for. Unless you're mechanically inclined (you may or may not know who you are) you might have some trouble removing and replacing this. Here are some basic instructions that will come in handy.

Pros
  • Certified
Cons
  • Can't remember

Please read reviews. This product does not fit.

Please read the reviews. This product does not fit properly. When I managed to get the screws in and tightened them they popped out and broke the retaining clips on the light itself. The gasket seems to be the main flaw preventing it from seating properly and preventing the tabs from behind the sheet metal of the snap the rear cover into place. They sent mine back as defective.

Pros
  • Impressive
Cons
  • Nothing

For me it was the perfect replacement.

I've seen a lot of feedback on both sides of the fence on this part so I want to share mine. Mine went in the New Beetle 2006. The hardest part was getting the old one out. It rotted dry and eventually fell into pieces. This replacement bulb fits perfectly, fits great, seals well, screw holes line up perfectly and works great. For me it was a great replacement. Sorry, some others thought otherwise. Great product here!

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • Frequency

The light works when you press the brake pedal, but the setting .

Light works when brake pedal is pressed but installation is not as expected. When looking for a part I entered my vehicle details as requested and was prompted "This part fits your vehicle." After grinding down the tabs on the bottom edge of the headlight housing and removing the bracket from the old headlight assembly, it finally went in and I was able to secure it. This should not be a procedure if I depend on a part designed specifically for my car. I can only imagine how much it would cost…

Pros
  • Pretty package
Cons
  • High price

Don't waste your time.

I bought this for a 2001 VW Beetle. Let me say the price is great BUT if they spent a few extra pennies and fixed the seal it would be a home run! The seal is the downfall of this item as it doesn't lay flat enough to fit properly, making it almost impossible to use factory screws to secure it. I was playing around with this for a WATCH. I ended up buying longer screws (4M 0.70 12mm) to access the screw holes that are inaccessible due to the stupid gasket. After putting in a few longer bolts I…

Pros
  • Absolute Legend
Cons
  • I won't say anything
