As the title says I got a spider stuck in my tail light
I took it to a shop but they didn't wanna mess with it cuz they claim u gotta remove whole bumper then th housig just to clean It out n they say it not with it
anyone have had this problem before? The spiders dead now obviously but it stuck inside on the white part ... If anyone has had something similar will dealer clean that out since it's probably not sealed right or anything?? Or how I do it myself?


It's the yellow looking thing in the clear part of the tail light

Had this issue also...and I was not going to remove the whole bumper either for a bug.
Unplug the bulb that is closest to the bug and use a vacuum or shop vac to suck out the dead bug...Hope this helps.

thanks man
i guess il try that
it wont cause the bulb to burn right?
the shop was like if we do it ur bulb can be fried since its going out of the socket... n they cudnt fit their vacum so il try using a mini one at home or something

at least i know its not bad just cuz i had my trunk holes sealed and they put the tails wrong rather its happened to others
thanks

with the car off and lights off, open trunk, remove one bulb nearest the bug. vacuum out bug. replace tail light bulb. should not cause any issues unless I am not understanding what you are asking.

If your vacuum hose and attachments won't fit, try tapping a straw or small hose to the end of the vacuum hose. Just wrap it up with tape enough to make a decent seal and then vacuum the bug out.
