Help ! .
 

Okay, so I bought a 1998 vw beetle about a month ago, so far the heat was gone, 310 dollars later got that fixed... the headlight was out which was an easy fix... and the tail light is out.. which i also thought would be an easy fix. BUT... how a beetle works to get the tail light out is you pop the trunk, pop off the tail light cover then there is a plastic nut thing to unscrew to pop out the tail light housing.. BUT. the plastic nut just keeps turning and turning and turning and I cannot get it off to pop the tail light housing out to change the bulb. HOW do i get around this problem.. tired of driving around scared to get pulled over for a stupid damn issue.
