Dead Lizard in my tail lights!

I have no idea how, but I have a dead lizard in my tail lights.
My dealer won't take it out!!

Is it possible for a lizard to get into them while they are mounted? Is there a hole in the back or something where it could have gotten in from so I can have someone take it out from there as well?

They can get in there from the inside. I lived in AZ for 22+ years. Lizards can get into just about anywhere and are as common as birds.

They only need a few millimeter gap. I'm guessing they got in from the interior, no the exterior.

But who knows. Wouldn't worry about it, but kind of funny. Was this in Dubai or in Los Angeles?

It happened in Dubai. That's the thing, I have not seen a single lizard here yet.
I'm not really worried, just want it out. It is funny tho.

I am hoping it got in thru the exterior and not the interior. I don't really want lizard/s in my car.
