Bugs in 5.5 gen tailight
 
How many have noticed that you have some sort of dead bug in your tailights....I know im not the only one and my friends that have this, about five of my friends has the same so I wanted to know if others did too..

Uh...I don't have this problem at all.

SEmy2K2go 11-03-2008 09:13 PM

I've got a few. They'll be in there when I get rid of the car too.

jadedmatt 11-03-2008 09:27 PM

McSteve 11-03-2008 09:38 PM

I never had one in my headlight, but i found one of them when I took off my mudflaps! It was bone dried and in perfect condition, should've kept it as a souvenir haha.

I bought an Eclipse for a beater car a while back, took off the hubcap to work on the brakes and a mouse fell out.

I've got a couple mosquitos in one of mine, how the hell did they get in there. They've been in there for a while cuz they are both bleached white from the sun.

knight_yyz 11-04-2008 03:34 PM

there is a small air hole they can crawl into. My buddy's max has a little spider web in his. pretty sure the spider died. Location Location location lol.

used a shop vac and took out bulb sockets and sucked around for a few minutes tried diffrent holes and got them out you could give this a try.
