2016 Volkswagen Beetle bulb size chart

Catalog bulb positions and codes for the 2016 Volkswagen Beetle. Confirm against your owner’s manual before buying.

Fitment notes

For the 2016 Volkswagen Beetle, the headlight bulb depends on the installed headlight system. Models with halogen headlights use a 9003 bulb for both the low beam and high beam. Models equipped with HID headlights use a D8S bulb for both functions. Check the headlight type before ordering, since these applications are not interchangeable.

Other notable lighting fitments include:

  • Front turn signal: 64136
  • Daytime running light and parking light: 7443 with halogen headlights or LED with HID headlights
  • Brake and tail light: 7443R
  • Rear turn signal: 7506
  • Reverse light: 921
  • Center stop light: LED
  • Front side marker: 2821; rear side marker: 7443A
  • License plate and map lights may use 2825 or 98

Verify the existing bulb and vehicle equipment when multiple options are listed, particularly for the license plate, map, and trunk lights.
