Hmm, the infamous mysterious gap in the taillights. I got a lot of dirt up in my taillights. I don't know if this will work or not, try to spray water at it.(Jet setting on those adjustable sprays.)

The tiny space between the carpet on the back of the trunk where those little stud like screws are. Well once the carpet is pulled down you have access to the lights don't you?

take out the bulbs and use a stick or something with a piece of tape on one end and "stick it". that should get it out.

I don't think that will give him access to the space between the clear outer cover and the tail/turn/bu lenses.

why even bother? Just leave it there. The freakin parasites and bacteria will take care of that mosquito... Insects are invertibrates so the whole body will decompose and disappear... I am not sure if their wings will decompose though...

Mine has been in the exact same spot for 1 year, or a bit more. It looks exactly the same today, as it did over a year ago when I first saw it. I just never posted pics of it....its a weird thing..

Yeah, that couldn't have happened, I think it was aound the seal of the plastic and the light. Maybe a piece cracked.

I think its because mosquito is ExoSkeleton organism... that kinda sux cuz the whole mosquito disappeared except for its outer protective shell which you have to deal with now.

Why don't you try frying it from outside, like using a butane ligher or something...

Can't you see that this is a performance mod?

That extra set of wings adds a lot more downforce ya know.

kloogy,

having a mosquito in your tail lights aren't that bad at all. If someone somehow stole your tail lights (don't ask how), and decided to sell them on ebay, at least you'll know the culprit.
