The pic doesn't work. If you really got a bee in your light, check the bulb harnesses...be sure they are all twisted in solidly. Having installed the tails on my Maxima myself, I'm at a loss as to how a bee would find its way in.

Yeah, i see it now. I couldn't see it the first time I visited the thread. Pretty wild. I'm curious to see if you figure out how that sucker got in there.

I noticed moisture only ONCE in my '02 tails since installing them. It was on the left side, on the part that wraps around to the side of the car. It wasn't much, but it was there. I have never noticed it again.

I would also agree that the '00-'01 might also have debris or moisture in them but with the design of those lenses it is just harder to see.

Having something as large as a bee or a fly behind the lens is a little harder to explain.

if it lays a nest in there, it could maybe be a styling thing. Something every other car doesn't have.....haha.. man, we gotta find out how that little bug got inside.
