The passenger side headlight very frequently isn't working due to the connection between the headlight assembly and the car's wiring. We've tried many different times to improve this connection without much success. Anecdotally i had another beetle with this issue, and see others on the road with it. I think it is a safety issue as visibility is affected as well as my ability to see at night.
