Carrier Preparation and Clearance Controls
4 mm Reference Holes
Keep the projector installed while drilling the marked holes so the original carrier provides the alignment reference.

Volkswagen Beetle Projector Retrofit FAQ
Which Volkswagen Beetle years are covered by this reference?
The supplied reference identifies the pictured 2005–2010 Volkswagen Beetle headlamp. Confirm the exact lamp housing and internal carrier before ordering.
Is this a no-open-headlamp installation?
No. The pictured lamp uses factory hot sealant and the lens cover must be opened to remove the original projector and install the bracket.
What drilling is required?
Before removing the factory projector, drill the marked mounting holes with a 4 mm twist drill bit so the bracket can be aligned to the original carrier.
Does the original carrier require cutting?
Yes. Cut only the marked section of the original mounting carrier, then secure the new bracket at the pictured points.
Are any clearance modifications required?
The stainless-steel shield and the thin plastic strip may require controlled bending or trimming if they interfere with the projector. Follow the photographed clearance points.
Which original component needs extra care?
The factory white retaining clip is fragile. Install it carefully when mounting the completed bracket and projector assembly back into the rear housing.
