Any trick to removing Beetle headlights?

You need to push down a tab that's causing it to get stuck. It should be located by the side of headlight it will twist be careful not to break it as you will need to lift it back up to lock it in again. Take a close look to find it. Cheers.

Found the tab on the side of the headlight housing as you said. Its a silver metal lever thingy.
I practiced on the RH light first as that has good access, then once I'd worked it out the LH one was pretty easy. The LH tab is quite a way down behind the battery compartment, but a big screwdriver was enough to push it down without having to remove the battery for access.
