Review: I have a 2007 VW Beetle and had the tail light go out on me. This was the best price on a replacement bulb and so I ordered it. Shipping was fast and the bulb and packaging was outstanding. In a matter of a few minutes, I was back on the road again and no longer worried about getting an expensive ticket for my inoperative tail light.
