Hello from Michigan!
Hi there! Just bought my first ever Beetle. It's a 1998, gas with the 5 speed. It's Red, and has over 315,000 miles on it. It's got a few bumps and bruises, but over the next few months, I hope to get them fixed. It has the droopy eyes, so I need headlamp assemblies, needs new exhaust from the engine back (yikes!), and tires/ alignment. I already had the timing belt changed, and the control arm fixed.
I ended up buying this because my son crashed the car he was driving, totaling it. So, I went car shopping and found the beetle. I told my wife that he can have the beetle once I get it fixed. She said, "no, you always wanted one, you keep it and he can have the other car." I love my wife.

WELCOME to you from TENNESSEE!
Congrats on your new beetle adoption. A little TLC makes a big difference these cars. About your headlights.....are they 'LOCKED IN'? Not being locked in can give them that googly eyed look.
HERE'S A HOW-TO VIDEO LINK ON HEADLIGHT INSTALL/REPLACEMENT
