Bug in Tail Light
 

I have a pretty big bug in my driver side outer tail light in the lower portion. I removed the light but there is no way to shake it out as it is in an enclosed area. I have no idea how it even got in there. Is there any way to remove the lens? Thanks in advance for any help.

Can't you just remove the bulb and shake it out?

I can't, there is no bulb in that section of the light.

How did the bug get in there? Seems like there must be some bug-sized passage that would allow entry. . . Right?

You could try porinig some Isopropyl alcohol into the assembly, and seeing if you can get that bug occupied chamber to fill with the alchol. Then. . . Shake, Vigorously. Bug should separate into pieces and perhaps can be drained out with the alcohol. Allow the alcohol to drain completely and assist drying the interior of the lamp assembly by blowing (compressed or canned or blower) air into the assembly. This process may take a couple of applications to completely remove the bug. Allowing the assembly to dry completely between sessions will allow time for the alcohol to help "break apart" the bug, as the alcohol will dry the critter out.

Good luck removing this thing that is bugging you!

Thanks for the response, I will try that.

Please dry completely!
 

Be careful. This is a flammable product. Be sure to dry out assembly completely, and air it out, before reconnecting to the vehicle.:thumbup:

Thanks a lot for your help, I just got the bug out.

Glad to help.:thumbup:

Have you attempted to use a vacuum to try and suck it out?

Thank you for the response but I already got it out.
