if you pop the engine hood there will either be a single bolt or two screws visible that hold the tailight assembly in...hope this helps cause it's for a 996....

topspd is infamous around these parts
I've replaced mine. It's exactly like the 996 info posted above. I got my bulb at the VW dealer since they're closer. It's a common bulb used in European cars.
